The Joker's Dead Pool

At the moment, we're at 6 entries, but I can confirm not a single person appears on everyone teams at this point and time.

I can confirm that no one has asked me about the unrevealed bonuses, so everyone's playing cricket. :)

 

Cat, what are the unrevealed bonuses?

Pedro needs another joker from his original list to replace the now ineligible Paul Briggs.

Lisa Brown is now ineligible, but unlike Jimmy Snuka and Paul Briggs, no one selected her. Probably because she's not going to obit.

Wondering if I should do a team, but have it completely randomly generated? Maybe?

Mark Sims is now ineligible for selection. Unlike Lisa Brown, Mark Sims was selected by 4 people. Now for Shaun, this not only means that Shaun needs two subs, but he also needs to nominate another joker from his 50.

I've decided to randomize a team, but do you guys think this should be allowed to compete? Here's the team that was completely randomized:

  4. Pomsel, Brunhilde

  5. Bennett, Tony JOKER

  6. Abdullah II of Jordan, King

  7. Greaves, Jimmy

  8. Toksvig, Sandi

  9. Hawking, Stephen

  10. Vervoort, Marieke

  11. Douglas, Kirk

  12. West, Kanye

  13. Dole, Bob

  14. Finney, Albert

  15. Scales, Prunella

  16. Parker, Nathaniel

  17. De Havilland, Olivia

  18. Loren, Sophia

  19. Tezuka, Katsumi

  20. Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus

  21. Donleavy, J.P.

  22. Ford, Doug

  23. Dillard, Harrison

  24. Hewlett, Steve

  25. Domino, Fats

  26. Magill, Lisa

  27. Quaid, Randy

  28. Kilmer, Val

  29. Abdeslam, Salah

  30. St John, Ian JOKER

  31. Thiebaud, Wayne

  32. Corey, Professor Irwin

  33. Kamprad, Ingvar

  34. Bracknell, Leah

  35. Fabray, Nanette

  36. Fawkes, Helen

  37. Adams, Colette

  38. Mugabe, Robert

  39. Cole, Richard

  40. Kennedy, Ethel

  41. Barber, Bob

  42. Emin, Tracy JOKER

  43. Harris, Rolf

  44. Rockefeller, David

  45. Hollingsworth, Mike

  46. MacFarlene, Norman

  47. Fleetwood, Mick

  48. Ricketts, Simon

  49. Dodd, Ken

  50. Boles, Nicky JOKER

5 subs in case these go:

  1. Walker, Clint

  2. Sawyer, Connie

  3. Chirac, Jacques

  4. Watson-Challis, Mike

  5. Ingham, Bernard

​Not sure how good or bad it is being completely randomized. I see some dead certs but most are random old people from what I can see. The joker's were randomized as well (I took the first 5 numbers from the random number generator. I might use it as a shadow team if declined though. Your choice.

I'm ok with it as the undisclosed bonuses are safely with Cat.

Alright. I added my randomized list to the master list, but it still feels small with 8 competitors. Hopefully a few more will decide to join.

McGiffin is now ineligible for selection, which means Shaun now needs to find 3 new subs and a joker. A warning to Shaun, you are at risk of potentially losing points if you don't sub in by the end of the week.

Unless Shaun replaces his subs and joker, his score will start up at -4, -3 for all the subs not subbed in plus an extra negative point for a joker he hasn't replaced. You can still gain those points back by Friday though, so it's not permanent until then. So the second leaderboard currently looks like this:

1=, Everyone else on Planet earth 0

2nd, Youngwilz -2

3rd, Shaun of the Dead -4

Anyone who is planning to enter, there is currently less than 3 days left in the entry period before the official game starts. This means that after it strikes midnight GMT on the 28th of January, no more entries will be allowed. There are already some people with strong teams, so those wondering if they have strong opponents will be happy to know that there are.

 

(Although Shaun can still sub out his people and nominate a new joker, here, or PM, I'm kind of making an assumption that he won't, so prove me wrong Shaun.)

I'll probably put in my team in another day or so - waiting to see if the list of possibilities is cut down even more over the next 24-30 hours.

You actually got two subs promoted because of Briggs death, so Randi is also promoted. Time to cross out MTM, and hopefully no more deaths from that list till the end of the week.

You have less than 2 days to enter. Personally, I'm hoping for at least 15 participants, so there could be some strong competition between the other teams entered so far. We have ten, so it'd still be a competition, but not as fun, so I'm wondering who I can count on to play.

I've entered, even though I don't understand the rules. Though seemingly half my team have died since.
