YoungWillz 21,037 Posted May 30, 2019 Thick end of the competition now. Exciting. And with the onslaught, who is to deny that all the ties are capable of turnround between now and the closing minutes of tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted May 31, 2019 I already know Spade and Clorox are putting in teams later tonight, and Banana tends to put in a team quite late to the deadline, and Bou is formulating a team, but... Right now at 15.53 on the 31st, @The Quim Reaper is winning the Cup by default! So here's his moment in the sun before elimination at midnight, short of a last minute shock or him actually getting mob connections to nobble the competition. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't doubt fate dictates I get bridesmaided yet again, but I shant go down without a fight! Pretty much exactly what happened there! Well done Spade, the better team won. I think leaning too heavily on last-minute critical gambles did me in above all else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,439 Posted June 1, 2019 Sounds like the DJ died in May, @Spade_Cooley? California time stamp, 8 hours behind us so 31st May on Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,519 Posted June 1, 2019 Twitter defaults to your timezone, not the timezone of the poster. I thought this might come up because I saw a FB post elsewhere saying he had died "this evening". However, there's eight hours between California and London. I don't think anyone uses the term "evening" for anything before 6pm, so surely Nelstar died, at the earliest, 2/3am GMT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will hold the fort till an obit arises, although in the option of fairness (as this presumably wont sort out before the midnight cut off tonight for subs in play), I suggest you name a sub joker from your starting 11 just in case.

Also, all this GMT talk confused me - we both know the Cup uses local time - remember your own Tania Dalton in 2017, dead in March NZ time, but February UK time. Anyhow, as we're talking rules not needed since 2017, Death Impends has reminded me you actually have 7 hours to put in a sub 11th player on your team, according to Rule 10.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 3, 2019 Why wouldn’t you have had a sub like anyone else? Shoulda been tough fucking shite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana 859 Posted June 3, 2019 I hate to be a stickler for rules, however this directly affects me so I feel I should speak up Rule 10 states that his top sub would come into play, not that he can just choose anybody after the deadline for submissions. If he didn't make any sub picks, then he's down to 10 picks. However I can't see what Spade sent in, so I'll leave it at that for now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 4, 2019 Well now you invite cheating. I’ll just turn in a name I know is dead, no sub, say oops and have a day to get more updated info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
