gcreptile 11,066 Posted March 3, 2018 Vanessa Goodwin was a bit of an oversight. I remember, I once thought during February to add her, but forgot bout it. I even forgot to add Marieke Vervoort until the 25th or so. I got lost in research and ignored the old names. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted March 3, 2018 Well, off the mark but irrelevant for my tie. Had Goodwin in my DDP line up I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,755 Posted March 3, 2018 Drat. Already behind, and she was on my team at one point during the month. But nevermind, I was behind to Spade last month too, so watch out DDT... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,536 Posted March 3, 2018 Well done, Sir Creep. Lots of unique picks in this game, but not so many unique hits. And Mr Creptile didn't have Vanessa Goodwin either, so Sir Creep is 4-0 up early on in what the pundits expect to be a very close game over the month. What else has the untimely passing of Goodwin done to the game? Well, Joey and Grim share points in their hotly contested grudge rematch. Two other top deadpoolers who share points in their game are Rad and The Dead Cow. Yet another game with shared points is the hotly anticipated rematch between two of last years Semifinalists - a game we might remember nearly went all the way... Great minds think alike or something? Two other teams managed to score on Goodwin's death, without their opponents. That'll be DDT, who goes 3-0 up on Rover "conqueror of Spade Cooley" Andout. Tough for Rover? Well, he did go behind in the first round too... And, yours truly reduces the Deadsox deficit to 1 point. I have now equaled the number of hits ANYONE got against Deadsox in any round last year. (Only two people scored against Deadsox last year, and he kept a clean sheet against DDT - a herculean task...) This leaves only two goalless ties. Sean/Charon, and... yes, Chorizo/YWillz. Will YWillz be the Greece of this years competition? Hell, will he be the 1990 Argentina and sneak through on penalties each time? Only one way to find out, and that's in further episodes of the 2018 Deathlist Cup Death Impends vs Heef 3-3 Gcreptile vs Sir Creep 0-4 Joey Russ vs Grim Up North 3-3 Phantom of the Midway vs The Dead Cow 3-3 Sean vs Charon 0-0 Roverandout vs DDT 0-3 Captain Chorizo vs Young Willz 0-0 msc vs Deadsox 3-4 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Spade points out, Gianni Brera said the perfect game of football would end 0-0. As with football and this game, he's slightly wrong. The perfect game would end with the opening goal being the last kick of the game for your own side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guy last round was the mayor of a town with 60000 people (as I touted, the 9th largest city in Minnesota lol). Maybe we need a threshold like 100,000? Does that make you a celeb? Not in a strict sense, but at least you were voted into office by more than your relatives and a few people you graduated school with. You could say 500,000 but then you've limited it to elected officials in about 30 cities in the States. Maybe that is fine and needed. Of course that would apply in the U.K. then, and really cut back on who is a celeb. What's good for the goose.... SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If folks don't like the way it's run or the rules they can start their own. I'll keep my suggestion for tie breaks under my hat until next year under the circumstances. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
