DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks everyone, especially @msc for all your hard work. Commiserations @Sir Creep, I hope you clear the final hurdle next year. It is nice to still be winning deadpools. Would still like to get a Hartlepool DP win to add to my collection, so I'm not going to be retiring any time soon. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,971 Posted July 1, 2018 Belated congratulations! Takes quite some research to find all these low-hanging fruits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted July 1, 2018 Obviously I didn't win, but my proudest moment in this has to be getting the first hit in the entire cup, and he was unique. The constant "please pray for Mowzey Radio" struck me as being optimistic, especially when paired with the he'll get better soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 1, 2018 I'll have to rest on the laurels of back-to-back come from behind victories in April and May against two incredibly strong players in Joey and Dead Cow. Ted Dabney still reverberates around these halls a bit. And having to pick Tom Benson, owner of my NOrleans Saints, well.... proves we have to set aside personal feelings and use our heads vs hearts. And found out my (2nd cousin) was friends with Bernie DeKoven thanks to me saying he was going to die, which sadly he did. An interesting few months. I promised myself I would get back into my genealogy research after I got the quick boot from the Cup, so I could focus on that. Then it was like if your phone falls to the passenger side floor and all you want is a red stop light to reach over and retrieve it, and you keep getting green lights...of all the rotten luck lol. Anyway, time to sign up to Ancestry again and get back at it. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted July 1, 2018 Tbf, my April team was pretty shite. Only Vader and Wilkins died from that squad so far, and some such as Odelein will probably be alive for many years to come. But I certainly thank you for calling me a strong young player, that gives me some optimism in a bit of a rough time in my personal life right now. I think that you definitely have great potential in dead pooling, and I certainly look forward to seeing you finally win your first dead pool whenever that comes... EDIT: Forgot about Fu Da-ren who was on my April squad, so that’s three. It was still shite though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted July 12, 2018 I'm back from Nova Scotia so its time to congratulate DDT. Great win by a superior dead pooler. Also congrats to the Dead Cow on his bronze medal. It was a fun tournament again so thanks to msc for the concept and labor. If anyone is looking for a vacation spot, Nova Scotia is wonderful. Breathtaking scenery, scrumptious cuisine, genuinely friendly people, varied wildlife viewing (I added six birds to my life list and had the best whale watch ever) and interesting historical spots. I didn't go online once in two weeks and didn't miss it. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where the hell is B of F? lol) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It lies between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia so yes, it is both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first round team has three survivors, Benedict XVI (tactical pick, actually), M Karunanidhi (ripe for picking again, I guess), and Noel Conway. My third round team (against DI) has Anne Hamilton-Byrne, Beat Richner (turns out the ill health was dementia or alzheimer's, not cancer) and M. Karunanidhi. I forgot who "Hodgkin" was. But Manuel Noriega, Mohinder Kaur, Leo Cahill and Catherine Nevin have since died. Susan Stros already died back then but it could be she didn't obit or something... Anyway, I guess the team wasn't bad, just too slow. The Cup 2017 count goes down another: Beat Richner loses his heartbeat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
