YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 21, 2018 Leaderboard above is what I make it after Stefan Karl's death. That was bloody hard going! Only bonus is an additional 5 points to Joey Russ who hits an A with SKS. Next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 22, 2018 All change at the top of the leaderboard with Spencer Jones' obit coming in. No Bonuses. For those who had him as a sub: Sean drew 8 Hearts = 8 Points. Sir Creep drew J Diamonds = 11 Points. Captain Chorizo drew 8 Diamonds = 8 Points. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,463 Posted August 22, 2018 It's really difficult to keep DI from the lead in these games. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 23, 2018 Rosemary Powell hardly had a legion of fans on this game. Gooseberry Crumble joins the scorers, with only two teams left holding their cards close to their chest. No bonuses, leaderboard updated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 26, 2018 Another heavy hitter, John McCain was picked by everyone bar Gooseberry Crumble in some capacity. Bonuses: Sean hits an Ace = 5 Additional Points. Phantom Of The Midway makes a pair of Queens = 10 Additional Points. Those who had McCain as a Sub: Bibliogryphon drew 6 Hearts = 6 Points. Skinny Kiltrunner drew 7 Clubs = 7 Points. Leaderboard updated. Everybody is now playing, huzzah! Of course, you may need a new croupier if Bracknell dies before the end of the month! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted August 26, 2018 A few teams including me had Neil Simon as a main player, so there's some shuffling around. Bonuses: Death Impends hits a pair of 6s = 10 Additional Points and with his existing pair of 7s, that's a two pair bonus of 15 Additional Points = 25 Points added total. Sub: Toast had Simon as a sub and drew 3 Clubs = 3 Points. DI increases his lead, and leaderboard updated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted September 11, 2018 Many teams thought Kulsoom Nawaz was a goner. They were right. Bonuses: FujimoriNoMorey gets a pair of 8s = 10 Additional Points. Sean hits A Clubs for 5 Additional Points and gains a Pair of As for a further 10 Additional Points = 15 Additional Points total. Skinny Kiltrunner makes a Pair of 2s = 10 Additional Points.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 11, 2018 Am I missing something with the 'points' system? Sean has a pair of Aces. If the cards don't mean anything, well.....taint much of a poker thingy. Right now no one even close to Sean. Clorox has a shot at a straight presumably. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted September 19, 2018 Surprisingly little movement on the leaderboard after Norden's demise. Only theoldlady and Death Impends had him as a main pick. No Bonuses. For those who had him as a sub: YoungWillz (me) is grateful to msc for picking a random card for him for this sub and draws 3 Hearts = 3 Points. Torva Messor draws 4 of Diamonds = 4 Points.
