Master Tech 11 Posted February 28, 2019 Is the tie break between me and Biblio decided? Do I need to put a team in or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon has won the coin toss. But there's always "death announced in the next 80 mins" twist ending in case you want to send a team in anyhow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Tech 11 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) ah fuck, the team was so weak I cant see a death in 80 years let alone minutes! Best of Luck Biblio! Ill be back next year, full of revenge and a well researched team. I had a few cheeky names to chuck in this time...

msc 18,490 Posted February 28, 2019 OK... this is how the coin tosses looked. Explaining early due to situation (and I already said one result above) 3 coin tosses Master Tech v Bibliogryphon (Heads) - Heads. Biblio leads 1-0 - Tails. 1-1 - Tails. 2-1 Tech - Heads 2-2 Biblio - Heads - Bibliogryphon wins 3-2 on penalties. Yorkshire Banker vs Skinny Kiltrunner (Heads) - Tails. 1-0 Banker - Heads. 1-1 - Tails. 2-1 Banker - Heads. 2-2 - Tails - Yorkshire Banker wins 3-2 on penalties JoeMoneyPenny vs Pedro (Heads) - Heads. 1-0 Pedro - Heads. 2-0 Pedro - Tails. 2-1 - Tails 2-2 - Tails - JoeMoneyPenny wins 3-2 on penalties. What did Pedro do to curse all money against him? 0 for 2 in the coin toss. HOWEVER, nothing has been heard from Joe since January, and he's not looked at my PM reminders. So, while hes more than welcome to add in a late late team here, AS IT STANDS, Pedro will move into Round 2 as a lucky loser, and will face Young Willz. Almost certainly secured a last minute winner somewhere now, but this forum gets grumpy when I try and post everything at midnight... 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,727 Posted March 1, 2019 Spent a while choosing between Donbavand, Starling or Hammer trying to decide which to joker - looking at list I can't have been alone. Must have read the same article about Starling and Hammer about 5 times hoping some new clue would spring out of the page at me. Good luck Captain Chorizo - looks like a good match up. Quintana totally off radar for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted March 1, 2019 #KiwiGrudgeMatch is on Some duplicates, so let's eliminate: John Key (Bracknell, Mugabe, Vervoort, Kerslake, Chapman*, Kumar, Blanco, Quinn, James, Buydens, Ricksen) Vs Heef (Hammer, Kerslake, Harris, Ricksen, Starling*, Trintignant, Blanco, Tin, Okoth, Miller, Nugroho) Chapman as a unique and joker is a big point of difference. There's some big names in Key's list, and if any of them drop off then it'll make a huge difference to the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 1, 2019 Very VERY impressed four people found Chng Seok Tin. Saddened a bit, but I see the names who found her and expect nothing but solid picks so not shocked. Always love when 8+ people have a band I don’t. ‘How did I miss that person?’ SirC (btw battle of SCs myself and Spade?!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted March 1, 2019 I don't understand how this Destinee McEwen chick is an acceptable pick by any means. I don't understand this singing claim to fame. No offence to SC, if anything props on somehow getting this through, but it's ridiculous how she's accepted, but Flores isn't because "it's not confirmed" even though she's clearly old as fuck and has claim to fame for being old as fuck.

I rejected her on a similar premise as I was dubious about Chng. I guess I'll find out in time whether I rejected the right ones or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I care more about some of those that we're denied (i.e. Flores + the prisoner duo) and I seriously don't understand where the line actually is for fame now. Now, I'm not trying to argue with msc or anyone else, simply voicing my displeasure. msc can run this however he deems fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
