Since I started putting names on a list for this pool I have gathered 29 names and 15 of them are now dead. i suppose when you are looking for imminent deaths it's quite likely that people aren't going to make the start line. 3 deaths in one day. Now watch there be no deaths for weeks once midnight passes... We're only waiting for one of the 16 entrants now. Who has...2 hours and 14 mins left to enter.

RadGuy 1,605 Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks for the hard work msc. You made a small mistake in the masterlist though, my sub that went in for LDL was Elias, not Bracknell. You got it right on the team vs. team thing, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,712 Posted March 1, 2017 As usual, we're taking local times after Kick Off, which means Tania counts as 1st March death**. And, under the strictest definition of the rules, is very lucky for some*, but so it goes. *by which I mean the person who got her in a team 10 mins before a death announcement. Had the news broke first, obviously they'd need a sub in play. **It's an imperfect ruling, but I'm an imperfect guy...

Joey Russ 7,118 Posted March 1, 2017 Hm, how would I predict it. Round 1: RadGuy Round 2: Too close to call Round 3: Heef Round 4: Spade Round 5: Chorizo (for revenge ) Round 6: DDT Round 7: tbh, Pedro Round 8: gcreptile 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,118 Posted March 1, 2017 This would've been my team, May Lee Johnson in for Hewlett obviously. Want to see how it does (won't be the best scoring, but still. Kept Douglas cause I felt like it.) 1. Betts, Emma 2. Butler, Henry 3. Christie, Errol 4. Douglas, Kirk 5. Downie, Gord 6. Hewlett, Steve 7. Michael, King 8. Nevin, Catherine 9. Perez, Julia 10. Singh, Jagraj 11. Suisala, Ben Subs 1. Johnson, May Lee 2. Elias, Rayya 3. Gilbert, Greg I would've had 4 unique picks this time had I made it. It was Magill I talked about that I dropped.

Death Impends 7,361 Posted March 1, 2017 It looks like Nina Riggs from Spade's team died two days ago - https://www.youcaring.com/nina-riggs-500580 Also, I know Dead Cow was feeling worried about facing me, but I think your team is quite strong as well and it won't be an easy win for either of us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think so, there are some very obvious omissions from my team. I only noticed Lucky Akhand hours after I submitted my team, so I hope he's exaggerating. I'm surprised Vennari was unique, although it's John Vennari not Jack Vennari as the masterlist states. Ultimately, I think my comparative dearth of unique picks will be my undoing.

Grim Up North 3,565 Posted March 1, 2017 Me v Capt Chorizo A bit like last round we have 6 common picks so the match will be decided by a 5 a side competition. GUN 5 - Downie, Osmond, Van Zandvliet*, Vervoort, Booth CC 5 - Perez, Hamilton-Byrne, Q Jones*, Karunanidhi*, Smith Hart* *=unique I'd be surprised if H-B didn't die as she is in palliative care so I would agree with Joey that CC has the edge. Particularly with my most likely carker being Osmond who will only be a one pointer against H-B two. I don't think many unique picks died last month though and I doubt any of them will see 2018 so I'm not without hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,615 Posted March 1, 2017 Unfortunately for me I think my best bet (King Michael) is a pick for RadGuy as well. Not behind yet though. However punditry seems to have me as the underdog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
