Joey Russ 7,283 Posted January 30, 2018 Going away from Deathray's rant, I have submitted my team of 11 plus subs. A very interesting mix of DDP names, names that have been seen before, names that have never been seen before, and one big name to round it out... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,579 Posted January 30, 2018 Just a shade under 35 hours left to get teams in. 17/24 in, 1 team just waiting to replace a pick, and reminds sent to the other 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,772 Posted January 30, 2018 So I presume my number one sub automatically replaces Paul Alcock which leaves me looking for two names to replace my rejects and at least one name even if I accept my second sub as one of my reject replacements. Plus even more annoyingly he died too late for my Deathrace team and wasn't in my DDP team because I rejected him at only 9 points (only 9 points haha - a lesson learnt for next year).

Don't worry, he's only 8 DDP points. So much for my vote of confidence in his health, that's practically the kiss of death round here! Yep to the above but you have time to send me them.

Only twigged when I was retyping down the second round ties... (The sods law for Grim being he drew the man who stopped him getting seeded!) Could be worse, could be Rover. Poor Rover. Luck of the Random generator... On 20/01/2018 at 00:21, Joey Russ said: On the other hand, this will be a very interesting match for March assuming Spade wins (sorry Rover)... Ha, I hadn't forgotten my commitment to submit a team for this but thanks for the reminder. Been trying to put some thought into it although I'm woefully out of the loop regarding the top talent at the moment, but then realised I'd never actually seen who I was playing. Spade and DDT. Et tu msc? Team to be submitted momentarily once I pick 4 more sacrificial lambs to survive February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,759 Posted January 30, 2018 Team submitted. Good luck in Round 2 Spade! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pedro67 234 Posted January 30, 2018 Team sent. Profile changed so I have a straw Donkey to take on the Cow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,082 Posted January 31, 2018 Sir Creep's team sent in. Team name The Month-to-Month Tenants Notice I'm playing an owner who has been kicked off the boards for 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel behind the 8 ball for some reason to some stalwarts here, as I am more interested in posting deaths first than holding on to secret living people lol oh well here is where I suffer for that. Mine looks like a good deal of D40, plus a couple oddball names, one of my unique DDPs, and a couple names barely mentioned or not at all, including an obscure politician and what would a Sir Creep team be without a Univ Pres?

That's the sort of forward thinking we approve. Anyhow, with Sir Creep's side in, only one team left to come in, and no, Joey, I'm not naming who it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted January 31, 2018 12 hours ago, Joey Russ said: Is it Spade or The Dead Cow the last team to send? It's me. But I'm in now! Research has been mostly last minute this year, just haven't had much time on my hands. Hopefully I'll still manage at least a respectable performance, but I don't consider myself a competitor this year. Good luck Pedro 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,579 Posted January 31, 2018 Bingo! Just rushing out the door so will add you to the masterlist when I get back in. No byes for anyone in the First Round! Good luck. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,579 Posted January 31, 2018 The Masterlist is completed, I'll check the Wiki Deaths in 2018 page to spot any necessary subs before midnight. 113 names on the 2017 First Round Masterlist, 132 in 2018 as it stands! Incidentally, how many of those 113 are still with us? 66! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, Anne Hamilton Byrne (still breathing when I last checked) comes off my bench as the lifeless form of Paul Alcock is stretchered off having only survived the warm up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, seemed a bit apt too, given she was one of your deadpool survivors from last year - might pay dividends yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
