And with a tip of the hat to Mr Willz, the DDP front page has had an overdue update.

 

Also, as for some reason the site autolinks to unfinished pages, you might note the start of a work on progress from the links maze at the top of the page - that being the long awaited DDP Archive... That's a long term project however.

Loving the Sol Kerzner write up!

Maybe I've missed it but I don't think Andree Melly has had a write up yet has she?

Not quite sure why Philip Anderson has not been added to the list of the dead on the DDP @gcreptile. He's on my round up with a Mail obit.

[gcreptile 10,978]

Not at home right now - but I guess it's simply an oversight, will add later today.

No bother, I was watching to see if he was added during the next round of additions.

 

Couple of days I'll be bringing the round up forward.

Indeed they are.

 

And some people are here to help in case people miss things, which is easy to do in the huge Byzantine nightmare that is DDP, or when people drop the games they are running after inducing many players to enter.

 

Now call me more names.

You could put it that way generously, more accurately some people self-appoint themselves as grandiose purveyors of pedantry for self-satisfaction. 

 

Regards your second point. Go read the opening post of this years game - the intention was clear I was to abandon and you'd pre-agreed in PM to take the reigns at some point......

You could read it that way I guess, it's not pedantry at all, there had already been one round of additions to the list of the dead, so I guessed Anderson's death had been missed and would be added next time. It wasn't, so I gave a gentle nudge as the next round up was due.

 

Here's the version that you imply I made:

 

"For fucks sakes reptile, I do fucking round ups and you can't even add the deaths and obits I put up. What is the fucking point!??? Get it right or I'll not bother. Jeez-US!!!!"

 

That's pedantry max.

 

There's no arguments here. It's assistance. In the nicest possible way.

Yes, because I'm capable of reading subtext something you seem to be accusing msc of being too thick to do.

 

Don't get me wrong appointing yourself as the self-appointed purveyor of pedantry is a clever ruse for being an annoying dickhead undermining the DDP gamerunners....

Too much overthinking on your part Deathers. We are all doing it at the moment. Not sure where @msc comes in. Undermining the runners? You baffle me there.

 

Jog on.

I am grateful for the help, with 40000 names people do fall down the back of the sofa.

Grateful for being able to skimp on the googling more like. If Willz is so bloody competent and your not why don't you do the right think like @themaninblack and disappear.

Have it ever occurred to you that people can’t go run a dead pool 24/7? Also, I think msc is a great member on the forum and I certainly hope he doesn’t disappear anytime soon.

Yes it had occurred to me that people can't run a deadpool 24/7. That's why there's 3 fucking hosts for the DDP.

 

If they still need help with 3 hosts you have to wonder how they tie their shoelaces, don't worry I wonder the same about you.

Didnt you just give up the reigns to Hares because you were incapable you of running it?

Yes, I.e stepping aside when it became clear it would be better if someone else ran it. It's called pragmatic common sense and putting your ego trip away to consider the situation. A few round here could learn from that.

I passed on the last one you sent to a health worker friend for a medical opinion, he surmised it could only belong to an alien or a eunoch with genital disfiguration.
