Bert, Cow, and I would make up the new podium places in that order - notably, Spade would need a sudden Gilbert downturn to pull back ahead as everyone else on his team is shared with me.

Well, that'd be a turn up. That said, Gilbert's treatment apparently isn't working anymore and he's officially terminally ill, as opposed to just Stage IV fecked.

Gooseberry Crumble 5,337 Posted November 6, 2017 Can anyone recall which poster it was who first drew King Michael's plight to the forums attention and then kept on promoting the suggestion the committee include them in this year's list? I seem to remember one particular member advocating King Michael last autumn but I may be rembering it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 6, 2017 He was already mentioned on and off before 2016, but it was Death Impends who mentioned him in 2016... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,437 Posted November 6, 2017 DI mentioned his ill health but a number of folk pushed for him to go on the list, including Gcreptile, Joey, Sean, CoffinLodger, and several others. Sometimes an obvious Deathlisty pick is an obvious Deathlisty pick, though. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted November 6, 2017 Glad I picked him for my main DPD team if only a reserve who got put on after Sellers died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted November 6, 2017 Although if I had picked Meads as the first sub it would have been slightly better points for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted November 6, 2017 If he makes 1st December and it's a big if Advent Avalanche will be pretty intense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also recall Captain Chorizo did some "get King Michael on the Drop 40" campaigning in the final couple weeks of the year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my wisdom I ignored the suggestion to pick King Michael of Romania! In my defence I'm newish, this is my first year fully participating in all the main pools and I'm not a hugely competitive person by nature! I still have hope of storming the leaderboard though ! Still waiting for The Dowager Duchess of Grafton to deliver for me and compensate for this obvious miss! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted November 6, 2017 I'm glad that at least he got to celebrate one last birthday with his family. This also proves that he is an amazing fighter, most if not all people here for some reason had a firm belief that he was going to be the very first hit, and now 16 picks passed away before Michael, who at 96, is battling both leukemia and metastatic epidermoid carcinoma. Peace be with you, your majesty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,314 Posted November 7, 2017 Someone tell me.If King Michael Rayya Elias Patrick Cryne and Stefan Karl all die this year what would that do to the DPD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 7, 2017 TJS would win because Greg Gilbert haven’t died in that scenario I assume and Golden Slumbers doesn’t have Elias or Cryne. Because of this TJS wins... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
