Ha - I thought you had fallen into a pitfall so soon after the new 1 post per month rule, but you are a clever one. More on that when I post my team soon . . . . .

Wormfarmer 427 Posted April 29, 2018 Just a reminder that starting this month, your first posted team is your team for the month, mistakes and all. If you play someone who is already dead, or that violates one of the 3 rules of the game, you will play the month with no chance for scoring at that slot. When I first saw Quim Reaper's Team, I thought he had been the first to slip up as he put John McCain in the 4 point spot after Exu had already posted him there. But lo and behold, the wily Quim made a legal pick as Exu played McCain last month, thus violating the consecutive months rule. So McCain is an active pick for Quim, while Exu will play short handed in May. Nice job, Quim. That's why he's in 3rd place and a contender. I don't usually like to forego my shot at the double point potential on the last day of the month, but this month I am going to submit my team early as I think getting Bush on the roster is going to be a good move. He's grieving AND feeble, not a good combination even for a tough old bastard such as he. I have updated April scores to include a 4 pt hit by Sean (Michael Anderson), which gives us a new leader by a single pt margin. I will post a May table once we get most of the teams in. My May team: rosalyn carter Kenny Rogers GHW Bush Jose Jose danny farquhar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormfarmer 427 Posted April 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Sir Creep said: Can I play? I know I can’t win but who cares? My good Mr. Creep, Sir. My goal was to limit this pool to 20 players, which I got from the get-go in Jan. However, several entrants have ceased to put teams in for the last few months, and we have also had several other latecomers to the game, so the monthly total is still hovering around 20. What I decided was that the game could accommodate a few more than 20, but only the first 20 to enter a team for the month play that month (so #21 on have to sit it out). I think with the number of "active" entries there shouldn't be any controversy in letting you in. I only ask that you browse the history and get the rules down, then c'mon and play!
