RadGuy 1,605 Posted January 11, 2018 Even if I was on the forums in the finals day of December, I likely wouldn't have picked Falkholt. Coma picks are always risky. I would like to congratulate The Dead Cow, Sir Creep, drol, and anyone else who had her on a risk well taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted January 11, 2018 Why does DDP accept bbc.co.uk/sport but not bbc.co.uk/music ? As I recall this would have nabbed a QO for Delpech, and I'm going over a few Lost celebs and right off the bat Luis Bacalov is shown as deceased. It's the BBC after all. I am sure there is a reason that I'm unaware of, such as it isn't a news section rather moreso entertainment or summat. Anyway...I'm going to check some other 2017 Lost one last time, then let them RIP after today. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, she's not gone yet....I picked her, but didn't joker her, so congratulations to those who did. Gave my joker to Leah Bracknell instead, who seemed a safer pick. I'm hoping for top 100 this year, and when I realized I'd missed Marieke Vervoort, I figured that wasn't going to happen. But I did pick Jessica Falkholt and Rayya Elias, so maybe. I'm sorry though that such a young person with her life ahead of her had this happen. At least she hopefully doesn't have to wake up to be told she's lost her parents and sister so close to Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, and MPFC's Carkers Convention led after the first update of 2017, I seem to remember. I can't remember if I led the DDP at some point last year or not.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 11, 2018 Funnily enough, when I was updating the stats, I noticed that one of the best performing non-DL member is Dead Ends (14th points, =7th hits), whom Vinegar Tits knows but does not frequent this site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend not to risk last minute accident coma picks, for the most part. And her case was looking 50/50 at submission time. Well done to those who risked her. A dreadfully sad case though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
