Joey Russ 7,229 Posted March 19, 2017 Anyone want to try and guess the last survivor of my team? Cause I'm not sure. Probably Richard O'Sullivan tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted March 19, 2017 30 minutes ago, Shaun of the Dead said: Yeah but the Queen is unlikely to outlive Charles William and George.That is why I went to rename it the Kings deadpool. I can't see anything wrong with the name. You've specified candidates born in the reign of George VI, so they are Georgians. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,987 Posted March 20, 2017 Just to clear we pick people we think can stay alive the longest? Ie if I was picking candidate x born 1950 it might be better to pick someone with no known illness over a person with stage 4 lung cancer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, should have made it clear my enquiry was aimed at Roey. As his strategy seems to have been to pick people who seem likely to fall off the perch soon.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted April 18, 2017 Might have been more interesting to do one set during the reign of George V (1910-1936) since the Queen was born in that era herself so you are setting her against her peers and the celebs are older, making it more of a challenge.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted May 6, 2017 Ahem, they have to born between 1936 and 1952. Many of your people are actually too old - though it's probably not an advantage. Edit: oh, is this the next game already? Editedit: Ok, I get it now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
