gcreptile 11,078 Posted July 2, 2020 The use of the replacement period was surprisingly rare. Anyway, the masterlist on the first page is updated. Georg Ratzinger has already become a hit since then. And there was Carl Reiner. Bernardino Pinera is probably a lost cause for an obit. Rank Team Points 1 Death Impends 771 2 gcreptile 661 3 RadGuy 626 4 Banana 608 5 msc 605 6 Cpt.

gcreptile 11,078 Posted July 11, 2020 Update time: New hits: Replacement Nick Cordero, part-replacement, part-already picked Jack Charlton (Great Uncle Bulgaria subbed him in, well done), Everton Weekes a unique hit for Torva, and Ennio Morricone. Mark Naley seems more likely to be a non-obit than not as of now. And as I begin my usual descent down the scoreboard post-replacement period (even Zanardi and Draper won't help, because as predicted, everyone else subbed them in, too), look who is suddenly there at no. 2: Rank Team Score 1 Death Impends 849 2 msc 683 3 gcreptile 661 4 RadGuy 626 5 Book 619 6 Banana 608 7 Joey Russ 607 8 Cpt.

gcreptile 11,078 Posted July 20, 2020 Indeed, we have a batch of new hits, all of whom have been picked quite a few times: Judy Dyble, John Lewis, and Ruth Morrissey. Kieran O'Connor was actually subbed out, but Death Impends still continues his lead with a healthy distance. JoeyRuss however has the trifecta of these three hits and advances to nr 2. Fi Munro seems, somewhat surprisingly, to become a non-obit. I think she would more likely have obited one or two years ago. Both Morrissey and Munro were, in my opinion, more than just "cancer mums" - one was a legal case with influence on a whole country, one was an author/fundraiser/activist for years. But here we now see, these cases can still be risky. Rank Team Score 1 Death Impends 889 2 Joey Russ 777 3 gcreptile 742 4 Banana 729 5 msc 723 6 Cpt.

gcreptile 11,078 Posted August 8, 2020 Alright a quick update now on a new computer, and a new version of Excel... As far as I can tell right now, new hits are John Hume, Olivia De Havilland and David Hagen. Oh, and the substitution pick Stuart Wheeler who extends Death Impends' lead for now.

gcreptile 11,078 Posted September 4, 2020 Alright, no update in almost a month.... and between work and holiday I lost track of who's new, and what's the narrative. So a sober update - if I missed something, let me know. New Hits: Frankie Banali, Sumner Redstone, Bullet Bob Armstrong, Christopher Guy Harrison, Dale Hawerchuk (Jiroemon Kimura with the latter two!), Kamala the wrestler and frequent pick John Hume.
