Hopefully now I can make good on my pledge and stay off the bottom of the pool until it ends thus progressing on last year's last place finish! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 1, 2018 Not sure if the actual playing cards mean anything, but after Bush Sr is charted, alls I needs is a '4' for a straight (2-3-4-5-6)! Only #4 I have is Barbara Barrie. Cmon girl! SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends: Hits an A for 5 additional points. Toast: Hits a pair of 7s for 10 additional points. Now, for those who had Bush as a sub: Joey Russ draws J Hearts for 11 Points.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted December 17, 2018 Well, my pick Charlie Quinlan died and noone noticed, not even me, 6 months ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,062 Posted December 17, 2018 Ok @gcreptile, there is no time limit on the rule that if a person has died prior to the start of the game, a sub will be inserted for that person if it is discovered subsequently. Crikey, not even I with all my double checking noticed! So I'll promote Sir Owen Glenn into Quinlan's place, leaving you 4 surviving subs. Ain't I a gent?

gcreptile 10,979 Posted December 17, 2018 I actually think he was alive at the start of the game. There are articles from mid-June that said that he is willing to say something. But he must have died shortly afterwards. My poker team has been quite a nice collection of fail - no need to change that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This article was from June 10th and had him alive: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/06/gravely-ill-aussie-underworld-figure-says-he-ll-reveal-secrets-to-police.html So yeah, died between that day and the 20th....

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted December 29, 2018 Nobody had June Whitfield, not even me. However, 4 teams had a bad case of Ricketts, and Simon says points are awarded to msc, Torva Messor, Sean and Phantom of the Midway. Bonuses: Torva Messor: Pair of 6s = 10 Additional Points. Phantom of the Midway: A Diamonds = 5 Additional Points. msc leapfrogs Captain Chorizo for second, and the Midway Phantom moves into 4th at the top.

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 30, 2018 4 out of 5 subs died in poker tourney for me, which presumably makes me the one with the most dead subs, again. I’m really bad at getting people onto the main team here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m really bad at getting people onto the main team here... Word of advice if I run this again. Set your team Joey, then take all your subs and put them in your main team! Anyway, this is looking like the closest damn run thing I ever did see! Timerman's QO means that Phantom of the Midway and Captain Chorizo hit. Bonuses ensue for the Captain: Straight - 6,7,8,9,10 = 30 Points; 7,8,9,10, J =30 Points. Total Additional Points: 60. Sub: Joey Russ draws 5 Hearts = 5 Points. Captain Chorizo barges his way back into second place, having substantially cut DI's lead. Is it too late? Will there be a Hogmanay duel? Will Joey get the Flush he's been threatening to get for months? Can anyone stop the defending champ? Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,062 Posted December 31, 2018 If Don Lusk achieves a QO, then it's very likely that DI wins this thing. I mean, I said it was close, there was no need to go out and kill him just to ensure the win, ha! Anyway, there's still a few more days for QOs to filter through, who knows who won't make the New Year? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,986 Posted December 31, 2018 It's funny, I was thinking how Chorizo only just got the first straights in this pool - and how I needed one of Blanco, Palau, or Lusk to die to manage that. Given Palau is doing reasonably well, and Blanco is fecked but not at the days stage yet, I figured Lusk was the best shot given 105 year olds can die anytime, but didn't actually expect it! Of course that's still pending QO and all, but then even if he doesn't he's at least already gotten counting points for the pool where I needed him to win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,062 Posted January 4, 2019 The interminable wait for a Don Lusk obit continues... Meantime, this pool will be closing in a couple of days. I'm not checking your entries (unless a Doreen Keough type comes in) so if you think you've a death and a QO I've missed, let me know. The lights on last year's casino are dimming, and I'm paying off the EU born bouncers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
