YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 18, 2017 With Forsyth's death everyone is playing! Shaun Of The Dead had him as a sub and drew the 7 Hearts for 7 Points. No-one running away with it. Good game, good game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 20, 2017 Nearly everyone had All Black Colin Meads, however most cards played were red! Anyway, the following bonuses have been awarded this round: DI - makes his straight of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and gains 30 additional points. gcreptile - draws an A giving an additional 5 points and this makes a pair of As giving an additional bonus of 10 points. = 15 points. Grave Danger and Toast draw an A each, giving them an additional 5 points. Coincidentally the A Hearts for both players for Meads! On the non-bonus front, both Joey Russ and Shaun Of The Dead had Meads as a sub. Joey Russ drew Q Hearts, giving an additional 12 points, and Shaun drew J Spades giving an additional 11 points. Bigger bonuses should start to kick in, now at least two players have played 5 main cards and the permutations become more apparent. However, as players realise, it's not who dies but what card gets played that can make the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,076 Posted August 20, 2017 Leaderboard above amended for Jerry Lewis' death. No bonuses, but DI had him as a sub and drew the K Diamonds, so 13 points added. msc and Captain Chorizo close the gap on the leaders and Toast vaults up the leaderboard with another hit.

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted September 12, 2017 Peter Hall is a unique for me and I grab a bonus of 5 points for drawing a Lemmy - the Ace of Spades, the Ace of Spades... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,076 Posted September 16, 2017 Above leaderboard amended for Violet Brown. Radguy and Death Impends had her as a main pick. On the bonus front, DI makes another straight having gained the 2 of Clubs, making 2-3-4-5-6 and gaining an additional 30 points. I had Violet Brown as a sub. Accordingly I asked DI to pick a card from Random, rather than do it myself and I gain 10 points having drawn the 10 Hearts. Death Impends thus regains the lead.

Joey Russ 7,232 Posted September 16, 2017 Might as well forfeit. I believe I took this way too seriously, and because of that, I'm now in the bottom 8. Ah well, there's always next year... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah well, there's always next year... This is one of the most random pools. How could you take it "too seriously"? You just had to pick people you thought might die quite soon. There's nothing else to it but luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just had to pick people you thought might die quite soon. There's nothing else to it but luck. I say that because I picked mostly cancer folk that could die soon, and not a lot of old folk. That's part of the reason why I'm lagging behind in this pool. The bonuses are the other reason, but I knew that was coming and not in my control... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,076 Posted September 26, 2017 It's all very confusing for this old croupier, yes I said croupier! How dare Dawn and Booth go so quickly! So let's sort out the leaderboard posted. BiblioG and Toast had Liz Dawn. Toast gains a bonus of 10 additional points for making a pair of 6s. Sean, Zsa Zsa's Leg, Toast, msc, The Dead Cow and Grave Danger had Tony Booth as a main pick. msc makes a pair of 3s so gains 10 additional points. Toast makes a pair of 4s, thus gaining a further 10 points for that pair and a further 15 additional points for making two pair (6s and 4s). Radguy and Joey both had Booth as a sub, but the draws were cruel. Radguy drew 3 Spades for 3 points and Joey drew 4 Spades for 4 points. Busy changes putting Toast top for now...
