Just the usual. Maximum of 5 names, post in the thread (not PM), can't replace picks who didn't obit. Please post on the day of June 30th, GMT. I probably won't update the masterlist until I get back to America a few days after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I get the feeling a few people might if they are able to) Can't change jokers either. I think that about covers it. Edit: @Grim Up North asked if you can just sub out your joker and - rather than switching to a new joker (which I already said you can't do) - continue in the competition without a joker. Honestly, I'll have to think about it. I'll let you all know within 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you able to sub out your joker and just lose the joker i.e pick a different person but because you subbed out your joker you then don't have a joker post transfer?

In other news, the transfer day is soon approaching. Here's a quick review of the rules: On the day of June 30th, from 00:00GMT to 23:59GMT, you can exchange up to 5 names from your team for different names. You don't have to do 5, you can do 4, 3, 2, 1, or even make no changes at all. It is up to you. But 5 is the maximum. Your changes must be posted in this thread - not thru PM - in the 24 hour period stated above. Your changes will "go live" at 00:00 GMT July 1st. Now, for the specifics. You can not transfer out a name that died (why would you want to anyway?). You can not transfer out a name that didn't get an obit. They're stuck on your team forever. *evil laugh* You also can not change your joker for a different joker. Whoever you picked at the beginning of the year will be your joker for the next 6 months as well. So, to answer GUN's question - I've decided you can't "lose" your joker either, as in transfer them out and continue in the game without a joker. Basically, no joker changes at all. If you transfered somebody out, and it is later announced that they died in June or earlier, you don't get points even if they were technically still on your team at the time of their death. What matters is that they weren't on your team anymore at the time of their death announcement. I want all of you to provide 1 substitute when you make your post with the transfers, because if you transfer somebody in, and they are announced within 48 hours of your transfers being posted (so sometime on July 2nd GMT) to have died in June or earlier, they will be replaced on your team with your substitute. However, if it takes more than 48 hours after the posting of your transfers for their death to be announced, they will stay on your team and no substitutions will be made. You'll just not get any points. Ok, I hope that covers it all. I probably won't post anymore reminders about the transfer day. I trust y'all to remember it when it comes and to post your changes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted July 5, 2018 I just checked the masterlist, and noticed that I got a 6th name added to my team (Maartin Allcock). I mean, I wouldn't mind the extra points, but it wouldn't feel right to get points for a person that I didn't transfer in (and the five I did transfer in got transferred in)... EDIT: I counted 50 strangely enough on mine, so I don’t know who the other one that got removed, unless I miscounted of course... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
