YoungWillz 21,076 Posted July 1, 2017 Flushes are more likely to gain the chunky points. Say you get 3, 8, 9, K and A of Clubs getting the flush bonus. Then you hit 6 Clubs. You get the additional flush bonuses for the following: 6, 8, 9, K, A. 3, 6, 9, K, A. 3, 6, 8, K, A. 3, 6, 8, 9, A. 3, 6, 8, 9, K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted July 14, 2017 I am not competing in this but I think there should be a bonus if someone has the Dead Man's Hand (black aces and eights). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted July 31, 2017 Above updated for Moreau. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 1, 2017 Above Updated for Wraw's Obit. One month in and no players have played an Ace or made a pair. DI is teetering on making a straight however if a 6 is gained - contenders are Gord Downie, Colin Meads and Naomi Parker-Fraley. It is possible for DI also to make a flush/straight flush with 2 more Diamonds - think he has three left. Joey Russ also needs 2 more to make a straight and has fairly good contenders. August will bring the first bonuses, I'm fairly sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 3, 2017 I'll update the above list for Robert Hardy's death...that's me and msc have a hit with him, and I'm sure it is terrible news to us both. Edit: Next death gains a new leaderboard. (Hoping for one per new page ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 9, 2017 Word of explanation regarding the above. Ok, so with Glen Campbell's death, we have the first bonuses of the competition. gcreptile hits an Ace, giving a bonus of 5 points. RishCast makes a pair, giving a bonus of 10 points. On the non-bonus front, both The Dead Cow and Joey Russ had Campbell as a sub. The Dead Cow drew 10 Hearts, giving an additional 10 points. Joey Russ drew King Clubs, giving an additional 13 points. Toast joins the leaderboard. Shaun of the Dead and Bibliogryphon are the only non-scoring teams, but with months to go, I'm sure they will be playing soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 11, 2017 Bibliogryphon joins the game with Kristal's death. DI had Kristal as a sub and drew the Queen of Diamonds, giving an additional 12 points. Still waiting for Shaun of the Dead to throw down a card. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
