Captain Chorizo, Fixed Business and msc have the outstanding Jokers to convert, not compulsory mind, but it might improve your placings - with the exception of Chorizo who is the current leader.

I like that the start of this pool avoids the end-of-year rush, but I wish it ran for a year.  It all seems to be over so quick.

Would be nice but gawd, the chances of more cards being hit and the calculations of bonuses...it's fun as it is I think, if it were to run for a year I'd have to re-jig the thing to keep it interesting.

 

Well, that's the thing really.  I never feel I've had enough time to get the most out of the cards I had.

No Joker card in your team, let alone played good sir.

 

So no.

 

But good try.

Ta. Imagine if after my joke about beating @Sir Creep in every game going he promptly beat me at this. Much mockerage would have happened, no doubt.

 

This is where you tell me he has this bonus and thus still did so...:D

Sir Creep's Joker card is attached to Kane Tanaka, who is alive at the point of typing.

 

I believe that Sir Creep would have humped you, had he not had so many non-obits. ;)

Yes, that's usually my best shot at beating him tbh. Hiding in a corner calling out the rules of the deadpool while he tires...

Right, period for Joker conversion ended hours ago.

 

Now we wait for those pesky last minute obits.....

I have done the paperwork, placed those pictures in the frames and am about to close the Casino doors on 2019.

 

Before we all leave to journey on to the Deathlist Cup however, we have some announcements. I have been unable to find any outstanding obits for the non-obiting personnel on the teams, and I haven't found any new deaths up to and including 31 December 2019 that have since been announced.

 

You may recall that 2018 was a low scoring year. I am pleased to say that all changed in 2019, with record scores being posted. Those of us who may have scored similarly in points to last year find ourselves well down the list. That is not to say that scores could have been higher, had different choices been made. It's all very well to know someone is about to pop their clogs (or in this case, their stirrups!), but the obit requirements will find you out! Overall, play was better and of course, bonuses followed for those lucky ones whose cards were dealt by the unfortunate demise of the relevant team member.

 

So here is the result. If you entered in 2018, your placing (out of 21 entrants from 2018) is in brackets, along with 2018's score.

 

1st - Captain Chorizo - 2000 Points (2nd, 980 Points)

2nd - Joey Russ - 1712 Points (7th, 647 Points)

3rd - Grim Up North - 1485 Points

4th - gcreptile - 1443 Points (13th, 500 Points)

=5th - Clorox Bleachman - 1435 Points (6th, 705 Points)

=5th - Death Impends - 1435 Points (1st, 1080 Points)

7th - Banana - 1069 Points

=8th - msc - 930 Points (3rd, 840 Points)

=8th - Sir Creep - 930 Points (8th, 631 Points)

10th - The Old Crem - 835 Points

11th - Fixed Business - 779 Points (17th, 400 Points)

12th - RadGuy -718 Points (4th, 818 Points)

=13th - Sean - 710 Points (14th, 428 Points)

=13th - Skinny Kiltrunner - 710 Points (18th, 225 Points)

15th - Torva Messor - 705 Points (11th, 514 Points)

16th - Yorkshire Banker - 674 Points (16th, 404 Points)

17th - YoungWillz - 613 Points (12th, 503 Points)

18th - The Old Lady - 600 Points (=9th, 515 Points)

19th - Jiroemon Kimura - 508 Points

20th - Toast - 436 Points (15th, 413 Points)

21st - Death By Arsenic - 406 Points

22nd - Great Uncle Bulgaria - 332 Points

23rd - Gooseberry Crumble - 305 Points (19th, 205 Points)

24th - Bibliogryphon - 100 Points (=9th, 515 Points)

 

Congratulations to Captain Chorizo, so confident of victory he didn't even convert his Joker for more points. He joins two time previous winner Death Impends in the Cavalcade Hall of Fame. Our two time toilet hanging picture Joey Russ takes the silver. I'm guessing taking folk out of your subs and putting them on your team worked this year? Grim Up North who didn't even enter last year takes the bronze.

 

In a game like this to have so many ties for positions is extraordinary. Special mention for Banana reaching a top ten position in a rookie year, and pat on the back to gcreptile as most improved. Now normally the picture in the casino toilets is decided by the foolishness of misplacing personnel on your subs bench and cutting your own throat. However, what cannot be ignored is the fact that one player had FIVE main team members who did not obit, more than anyone else, and by jingo, if they had it would have been a damn close run thing. So, Sir Creep's picture is placed above cubicle three in the gents, thus relieving Joey (see what I did there?) of an undeserved hat-trick.

 

If you can all join and I'm willing, see you when the Casino 2020 opens later in the year. It's been fun!

Addendum while I'm locking up. I'm rather proud that this pool has never had a player end up with a zero, every player who has entered has scored every year. Well done!

Thanks for running this YW - an interesting variation on a theme.

 

And of course congratulations to Captain Chorizo who won by loads and would have won by loads more if he had needed to use his joker.

 

See you in June when the tables hopefully reopen.

Thanks for running YW - using the (UK football) League Two principle, whereby 23rd and 24th get kicked out of the league, I avoided relegation by the narrowest of margins, so a storming success by my standards! Well done to CC for winning.

Thanks for hosting YoungWilz and thanks for the congrats everyone.

 

Also only reason I didn't play my joker is cause it was black and almost all my hit's were red cards and didn't think I could turn it into many points.

I love this particular pool :)

 

@YoungWillz Are you planning on running another one fairly shortly this year please?

Oh yes, just when the Cup is reaching it's climax, I shall firmly affix the entry list to the Casino door for applications!

 

Of course, it does all rather depend on whether I can socially distance you all! Wait, my virtual Casino is like a TARDIS....:lol:

 

See you around the beginning of June, but yes, get your thinking caps on folks.
