The Dead Cow 620 Posted March 1, 2018 Hold on, his death was reported by an American right? So last night would have likely been this morning GMT and therefore qualifies as a hit, if he gets an obit, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, IF an obit shows up saying 1st March instead, I will retroactively hand back the points based on the First of the Month rule. And if another sub is needed, I am so nicking a Hewlett Rule off Maryport for next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it can't be determined whether they died this month or last presumably the sub comes into play? For The Cup does any QO have to include a date of death? Is the date of death based on country they are in or GMT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the date of death based on country they are in or GMT? Sub At the very least, it has to be obvious they didn't die in another month. Yes, this came up last year with Bernie Portenski (a hit for Heef) - based on country they are in, like the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original post is from Feb 20, but the update was edited in a few hours ago. In the comments Brantly mentions that Martin passed last night. Now, I'm unsure of his definition of 'night', he may regard the few hours after midnight as night, so it's still unclear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,479 Posted March 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: Right. However, reading the comments seem to suggest he died last Friday though... Err, no, he says his teacher is in hospice care, which leads to a whole bunch of folk going "oh didn't realise he was that ill", "prayers" and talking in past tense which is a common but really fucking annoying thing people do about folk dying (not dead) - my grandad used to get pissed off by it when he was dying. Then, TWO HOURS AGO, chap says "David died last night" and then, TODAY'S POSTS are full of sorry and RIP and the lot. But anyhow, this is why we are WAITING for further info on the case. OK. OK? Good. Cool, everyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
