The Deathlist Poker Tournament 2019

[Sir Creep 7,070]

We have 3 days of drilling to go on this oil well..... so when done I will have 2 days nothing to do.  I can throw something together in a few hours for ya.  Like @RadGuy this is more a reminder to me lol.

SC

EDIT: TEAM SENT (5 hours to go)

[YoungWillz 21,055]

Probably a good idea. I'm up to my elbows in Mr Muscle (ooh!) and Mr Sheen (ahhh!!) not to mention I've had my duster out for days (wheee!!!).

 

Cleaning the house for the valuations has been and is an ongoing bind. To be followed in due course by clearing the house and finding myself a cheap flat for my cheap ass. So really, I could forget to do the usual reminders. Or I could remember. I dunno where I am half the time. Ah, death, I now know where your sting is. It's in the foolish child who has to clear up his Dad's goods and chattels.

 

Finding OldWillz's erection remedy was a hilarious point, I'll admit.

This is one point we were fortunate on Dad moved into a home about three years ago so we got to clear the house under less stressful circumstances. 

Funeral tomorrow.

Team sent.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

So I have 12 validated teams. Thanks.

 

Now the heavy hitters are entering and, needless to say, I'm having issues with selections, and I am somewhat dredging notoriety from some of those picks! Anyhow, I'm generally on players' sides and will seek out fame if I can find it. But I shouldn't have to, you know, ha! I will always ask if a player wants to insist on a selection if I'm minded to allow on a basis not put forward by a player.

 

Be kind to the game runner, I've just had a bereavement myself and running a casino is difficult enough, lol.

 

Keep them coming, and remember don't be too late as I still have to validate teams before the deadline.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

For all those I denied Luis Alvarez, favour done, mwahahahaha.

[gcreptile 10,978]

I submitted a few hours ago.

Good luck everyone!

[Joey Russ 7,228]

I’m in now. Randomized it again, but then I switched a few names from the sub bench to the main team and vice versa in order to try to avoid a repeat of my past performances. Which means those who were brought into the sub bench has now been cursed. 

[Death Impends 7,979]

Threw my folk in the Random.org washing machine once more and sent in my attempt to make the threepeat.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

18 teams are in and counting!

 

Need 3 more to equal the entrants for last year, 4 to increase the pool! So if you are waiting and waiting, come on, there's just over a day before the doors get slammed shut and the teams are locked in until December!

 

 

[Toast 16,144]

Is there a reason why this pool only runs for six months? 

[Skinny kiltrunner 553]

I call.

It ground shares with the Cup.

 

iirc Willz was inspired to put something in the quieter half of the year by the Cup coming to an end one time. I like its non-uniformity.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

Yeah, it's cup time early and casino time later.

 

I kinda canvassed a 12 month run, then thought, acht, complements the Cup, why not?

[Toast 16,144]

It's just that I forget that these things have ended and then somebody kicks the bucket and I get all excited thinking I've scored some points somewhere, only to find they were a pick in this pool and it finished three months earlier   ......

Toast Hits since 2017 Comp ended: George HW Bush; Lord Peter Carrington; Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg; Stefan Karl Stefansson; IM Pei.

Toast Hits since 2018 Comp ended: Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg; IM Pei.

 

Think everyone has those moments, especially if you just dropped them and suddenly three days into a competition they've snuffed it.

Yeah, I sort of have a growing rep for dropping folk in the DDP who promptly snuff it. Only Gilbert survives from my 2018 drops, so look out for a decision on the likes of Barry DuBois and Carmen Callil end of December.

 

This year, 11 days in, Steffan Lewis snuffed it. My greatest ever "doh" moment however was dropping the great Derek Martinus in 2014, as I had second guessed my ITK "death bed" info, only to gift him as a unique hit for a Diana Rots style team!

 

[Skinny kiltrunner 553]

Ooh, a joker! Gonna have to read that new rule again!

You are able to nominate at any time during the game a card THAT YOU HAVE NOT DRAWN FOR ANY OTHER PICK as a substitute for a Joker, whether you have had a hit with that pick or not

 

[Skinny kiltrunner 553]

I guess it only matters if my Joker dies, but for the life of me I can't get this right in my head.  I won't say who my joker is, but it rhymes with Bilford Wenitez.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

Any guidance required, you only have to ask.

If Bilford dies, I'll be in touch. I might just figure it out by then anyway.

[YoungWillz 21,055]

Queue at the door is getting shorter as is entry time.

 

With a little over 12 hours to go the confirmed entrants are as follows:

 

1. YoungWillz

3. msc

4. theoldlady

5. JiroemonKimura

6. Great Uncle Bulgaria

18. Death Impends

19. Skinny Kiltrunner

20. Clorox Bleachman

21. Banana

22. Sir Creep

23. Sean

24. Captain Chorizo

 

@Banana has to come back to me on certain queries on that team. (Edit - team now validated!)

 

If your name does not appear above, you have not submitted and had validated a team. No late entries! Come one, come all, before I pay off the performing juggler and the unicyclist at the door. Closer to the deadline I will begin to make assumptions about your picks if you have not clearly indicated who the people are - do not assume the game runner knows who you are talking about!

 

It might be you who stops Death Impends gaining a third title - a complimentary feather and cap are on standby in my office for the player who can do just that! Otherwise, if DI does win, he will gain the mop and bucket from the janitor's cupboard for again wiping the floor with the competition!
