Grim Up North 3,725 Posted March 31, 2017 10 hours ago, msc said: I've got a coin, I'll flip to determine who is Heads and who is Tails, and then you get best of 5. Penalty shootout style. Unless the Reaper has other plans. I'd pick Tails if I had a choice. If Chorizo posts that he would pick Heads can we have the side of our choice? Presuming our remaining teams survive to midnight of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted March 31, 2017 Hahaha, no, as by picking Tails you are getting the advantage of pushing him towards Heads. Although, I have now committed to the check, and can confirm the following details tonight if there is a draw: Captain Chorizo will be Heads, Grim Up North will be Tails. Deadsox will be Tails, Pedro will be Heads. On the luck of the draw, you get your wish there, on the flip of the coin. Well, I suppose it was 50/50... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,565 Posted March 31, 2017 To be honest I would rather have been defeated by a large margin than by a single Lisa Magill point. It is this games equivalent of diving to get a penalty. Good like RadGuy for the next round. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted March 31, 2017 Either me or Capt Choz are going through (at the moment) because we both dived for that penalty and the ref fell for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,953 Posted March 31, 2017 Once again doing a final round of scouting and assessment of my squad as I keep my fingers crossed none of Dead Cow's differential quarry drop dead in the next few hours. Assuming that our tallies stand as they are, well done Cow, that was some top notch pooling with some exciting end-game twists to boot, and as others have said upthread, it's unlucky that we faced each other when elsewhere it's looking like a zero-point team will proceed to Round 3! It merits mention that if gcreptile didn't also go for Nome, or if Sparks was less off-the-radar, you'd be the projected winner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks DI. Right from the get-go I knew it was going to take a mammoth effort to dispose of a deadpooling great such as yourself. Whilst, unfortunately, the giant-killing was not to be, to come as close as I did is an achievement which I can be proud of. In the meantime, I've sent msc a team just in case a last minute upset is to occur. Otherwise, I'll be sure to post it in this thread for anyone who may be interested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted March 31, 2017 So, just DDT (or Switch) and DI (who has mentioned it coming in later up thread). 5 hours and 6 mins till I can sort out a masterlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,421 Posted March 31, 2017 All the teams are likely in now (2 not in but...unlikely to advance). Just need to wait for any last minute twists (or lack of twists). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switch 141 Posted March 31, 2017 Submitted a half-assed team just in case. Congrats to Death Impends on (presumably) a victory. Even if I had picked Martin McGuinness, I would have lost. Good luck in the next rounds. I briefly considered picking a half-decent team for the birthpool, but in the end I was too lazy for that, so I submitted pretty much the same team as I did for this month. Doesn't matter though, as I still will not have the chance to run this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,953 Posted March 31, 2017 My team name is now William Henry Harrison Die-In-A-Month Squad, keeping with the US President theme of my DDP alias. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted March 31, 2017 All change for my team, apart from Al-Bagdhadi. Incidentally, I had this really strange dream that he became the new leader of the Liberal Democrats and started advocating against Brexit in the same fashion he has attempted to promote the Islamic cause. Credit to my reserves for getting me this far, but I need a bit more strength and depth in the squad to make progress. Hoping a couple of hitherto unknown signings make the grade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted April 1, 2017 Right, here's what my team would have been. 1. Peter Kreeft 2. Paul Van-Zandvliet 3. John Vennari 4. Lucky Akhand 5. Ronodeep Bose 6. Catherine Nevin 7. Brandy Rusher 8. Leo Cahill 9. Armando Arrieta Granados 10. Gord Downie 11. John Wraw I think DI's team is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 1, 2017 The only one I'm going to call is Spade's and Deadsox's match, and predicting Spade will move on (Ricketts, Stefansson and Bracknell dying in April? I really can't see that with any of them, unless one of them takes a turn for the worse.) Although I did notice RadGuy took one of Spade's uniques away. EDIT: 2 actually! Although I'm surprised Van Der Laan hasn't appeared on more teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
