Angels 32 Posted June 12, 2017 I'm getting turned into creamed corn. It's fun, though, to watch the results play out of my name and position selection method (which were both done by rolls of the dice.) I would have been disappointed in getting any position but last!

gcreptile 10,970 Posted June 12, 2017 We've become too good. The most popular picks are also more in danger of dying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 12, 2017 Wonder if there should a dead pool where you guess who's gonna die in the top 50. I'm thinking of like a ranking of putting down a list from 1-50 and points given based on the position of the person. In fact, there could be a test run, as there are exactly 40 candidates left. Let me know if anyone is interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted August 8, 2017 As we say Adios to Glen Campbell, five teams score points for keeping him ever gentle on their teams. As such, the scoreboard has been affected, but for now Drol maintains his lead. Will that be the case by the time we get to the year's end? Or is Drol still on the line? Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 7 points 2nd - The Unknown Man - 12 points 3rd - Grim Up North - 18 points 4th - Dr_T - 22 points 5th - CaptainChorizo - 24 points =6th - Bert Trautmann - 30 points =6th - Garn2 - 30 points =8th - Book - 31 points =8th - Morbidkid - 31 points 10th - msc - 32 points 11th - gcreptile - 33 points 12th - GraveDanger - 34 points 13th - YoungWillz - 35 points =14th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points =14th - Shaun of the Dead - 36 points 16th - RadGuy - 40 points 17th - Death Impends - 41 points 18th - Toast - 44 points 19th - Pedro67 - 45 points 20th - CharonsCrew - 47 points 21st - WednesdayAddams - 48 points 22nd - rockhopperpenguin - 51 points 23rd - Switch - 55 points 24th - Dead Cow - 58 points 25th - Deathray - 59 points 26th - Joeyruss - 63 points 27th - esher - 67 points 28th - Angels - 77 points 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted August 18, 2017 Most teams played their cards right by not penciling Sir Bruce Forsyth into their pack. For the 9 teams that did have him, whether higher or lower, it will not be nice to see the below scoreboard, to see the below scoreboard it will not be nice. Drol strictly maintains his lead at the top of the scoreboard, isn't he doing well? Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 7 points =2nd - Dr_T - 22 points =2nd - The Unknown Man - 22 points 4th - CaptainChorizo - 25 points =5th - Bert Trautmann - 30 points =5th - Garn2 - 30 points =5th - Grim Up North - 30 points =8th - Book - 31 points =8th - Morbidkid - 31 points 10th - gcreptile - 33 points 11th - GraveDanger - 34 points =12th - msc - 35 points =12th - YoungWillz - 35 points 14th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points 15th - RadGuy - 40 points 16th - Death Impends - 41 points 17th - Shaun of the Dead - 42 points 18th - Toast - 44 points =19th - CharonsCrew - 48 points =19th - WednesdayAddams - 48 points 21st - rockhopperpenguin - 51 points 22nd - Pedro67 - 54 points 23rd- Deathray - 59 points =24th - Joeyruss - 63 points =24th - Switch - 63 points 26th - esher - 67 points =27th - Angels - 77 points =27th - Dead Cow - 77 points 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted August 20, 2017 As Colin Meads his maker, things are looking all black for the handful of teams who thought he might see the year out. Not much change with regards to the scores, though Angels' experiment reattains it's wooden spoon position for now. Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 7 points =2nd - Dr_T - 22 points =2nd - The Unknown Man - 22 points 4th - CaptainChorizo - 25 points =5th - Bert Trautmann - 30 points =5th - Garn2 - 30 points =5th - Grim Up North - 30 points =8th - Book - 31 points =8th - The Mad Hatter - 31 points 10th - gcreptile - 33 points 11th - GraveDanger - 34 points =12th - msc - 35 points =12th - YoungWillz - 35 points 14th - Bibliogryphon - 36 points 15th - Death Impends - 41 points 16th - Shaun of the Dead - 42 points =17th - Toast - 44 points =17th - Phantom of the Midway - 44 points 19th - rockhopperpenguin - 51 points 20th - CharonsCrew - 57 points 21st - Pedro67 - 58 points 22nd- Deathray - 59 points =23rd - WednesdayAddams - 63 points =23rd - Joeyruss - 63 points =23rd - Switch - 63 points 26th - esher - 67 points 27th - Dead Cow - 77 points 28th - Angels - 81 points 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted August 20, 2017 The death of Jerry Lewis, the King of Comedy, is no laughing matter when it comes to this game. 23 teams were nutty enough to think he'd survive the year and therefore The Day the Clown Died could turn out to be a pivotal moment in this competition. Here are the scores! 1st - Drol - 21 points 2nd - Grim Up North - 31 points =3rd - msc - 35 points =3rd - The Unknown Man - 35 points 5th - YoungWillz - 38 points =6th - Bibliogryphon - 40 points =6th - Dr_T - 40 points 8th - Bert Trautmann - 42 points =9th - Shaun of the Dead - 44 points =9th - The Mad Hatter - 44 points 11th - GraveDanger - 47 points =12th - Book - 48 points =12th - Death Impends - 48 points =12th - Garn2 - 48 points 15th - CaptainChorizo - 49 points 16th - Phantom of the Midway - 50 points 17th - gcreptile - 51 points 18th - Deathray - 59 points 19th - rockhopperpenguin - 60 points =20th - CharonsCrew - 62 points =20th - Toast - 62 points =22nd - Joeyruss - 63 points =22nd - WednesdayAddams - 63 points 24th - Switch - 73 points 25th - Pedro67 - 74 points 26th - Dead Cow - 77 points 27th - esher - 80 points 28th - Angels - 106 points 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
