gcreptile 10,967 Posted October 24, 2017 Maybe a new bonus for having your whole team die (and obit)? Not much, 25 pts at most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted October 26, 2017 Can anyone find any evidence of Isis, Isil or Abu Sayyaff confirming that Isnilon Hapilon is dead? Because if not, would he still not count as dead for current DDP purposes, even though opposing forces have taken DNA samples from his corpse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted October 26, 2017 "We have his DNA, his body, his mum has identified the corpse, and so has his local priest." "I am his successor, I am not announcing his death." "But you succeeded him!" "Don't care. Not announcing it." "Why?" "Simple. I'm not letting those infidels get that far ahead of me in the Derby Dead Pool, for shame!" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted November 9, 2017 Ah, so 3 teams for general and 3 teams for theme, making six teams each player. Sounds great for participants, sounds like a nightmare for runner... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted November 9, 2017 2 hours ago, msc said: What's a serious DDP contender? Apologies "serious contender" was perhaps maybe not the best phrasing - a normal team would have perhaps been better - as Cobbles to a Coffin currently beating Kervorkian Clinic shows theme teams can be better than serious teams. A team that has been submitted with the intention of winning rather than the intention of banding together a group of similar people. Anything that wouldn't currently be classed as theme teams. Also perhaps 2 entries for the main competition and two entries to the theme team so it's only four teams a player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 24, 2017 Since we’re heading close to the time that a new DDP thread is opened, can Spade potentially reveal what changes are going to happen during next year’s DDP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the above is becoming pertinent. I think the opening for entries for next year normally happens around this week. I'm finalising my teams and would like to get them in before the festive. Not terribly urgent for me (I normally punt the teams in around mid-December) but if folk like Phantom of the Midway are off on holiday or away, the situation might be a little more keen, especially if there are to be changes to the rules. Anyway, good luck to TMIB in his last few weeks and to Spade who has to deal with the forthcoming deluge.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted December 2, 2017 Understood. The new thread is coming within a short period of time. The only rule change for 2k18 will be the banning of death notices as QOs. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 28, 2020 I did see a health update last year in Czech which felt like the beginning of the end, but it also mentioned he was still mentally there, so that along with Ricksen burn out was why I didn’t pick him. Statistically though, it was definitely his time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
