YoungWillz 21,074 Posted February 6, 2020 I'll be updating soon, paddyfool will tell me my scoring's shit, there'll be an amendment and all will be well. In a little bit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,074 Posted February 6, 2020 Right I thought this was going to be easy with months between hits! Jeez Louise, whoever she is! Subject to correction I'll provisionally update here for Kirk Douglas: Hits for Skinny Kiltrunner, msc (3rd hit); Banana (3rd hit); theoldlady (3rd hit); Deathray; ThereWillBeDeaths (3rd hit); gcreptile (3rd Hit); Zefph (3rd hit); Book (3rd Hit); Etishispushingupdaisies (3rd hit); RadGuy (3rd hit); Buffalo Phil (3rd hit); Torva Messor (3rd hit); chilean way (Joker); Annami; paddyfool; Grim Up North (Joker); Great Uncle Bulgaria. So if I have this correct, +2 for the hit, if you have a 3rd hit extra +1. Both Jokers only have 2 hits so your hit total is doubled to +4. Cue paddyfool's entrance....

paddyfool 379 Posted March 5, 2020 That's another miss for me. Also, 5 hits so far is a good outlook for those betting on a high total... so also not a good outlook for my guess of 13 in total. EDIT: Very impressed by Radguy's 5 for 5, however. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,074 Posted March 5, 2020 Update for de Cuellar: Hits for Clorox Bleachman (3rd Hit); DeathClock (2nd Hit); Banana (4th Hit); gcreptile (4th Hit); Zefph (keeping your name at submission, 4th Hit); Book (4th Hit); Etushispushingupdaisies (4th Hit); dean1991 (3rd Hit); The Quim Reaper (3rd Hit); RadGuy (5th Hit); Chilean way (4th Hit); Captain Chorizo (3rd Hit); Sir Creep (3rd Hit); and Grim Up North (3rd Hit). Special mention at this stage to @RadGuy who has 5 hits out of 5.

paddyfool 379 Posted March 5, 2020 You're going to hate me YoungWillz... but have you updated the scores by removing the -2 penalty for being more than 5 out from the total for those who've got within 5 of their total? Because, for instance, dean1991 should probably have gone up by 2 when Mubarak died... unless you're waiting for the end of the year to factor this in? (I apologise for having designed an excessively complex scoring system). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I apologise for having designed an excessively complex scoring system). Hmm. Dean picked 9 hits. By my reckoning on the system, he needs to get 4 correct hits to be 5 out. Now what you are suggesting is that it doesn't matter how many hits a player predicts correctly (i.e. Correctlist), the actual number of hits determines whether the penalty is removed. Now that becomes incredibly complex. Incredibly. I think it's only fair if the correctly predicted number of hits falls within the actual number, and certainly the rules can be read that way. What say you? Will it matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted March 5, 2020 Eh, the point was to reward guessing the correct number of deaths independently of whether the individual guesses are correct. It was a nuisance to update, though, even though it didn't interact with the joker... maybe leave it until the end of the year and update that bonus all at once? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,074 Posted March 14, 2020 Update for P-Orridge Hits for Clorox Bleachman (4th Hit +Joker); Skinny Kiltrunner (3rd Hit); msc (4th Hit); DeathClock (3rd Hit); Banana (5th Hit); theoldlady (4th Hit); Deathray (3rd Hit); gcreptile (5th Hit +Joker); Joey Russ (3rd Hit + Joker); Bibliogryphon (3rd Hit); Book (5th Hit); Etushispushingupdaisies (5th Hit); The Quim Reaper (4th Hit); RadGuy (6th Hit); Buffalo Phil (4th Hit); Torva Messor (4th Hit); chilean way (5th Hit); nantonian (2nd Hit); Captain Chorizo (4th Hit); Annami (4th Hit + Joker); LizLemon (3rd Hit); The Old Crem (4th Hit); Grim Up North (4th Hit); Great Uncle Bulgaria (3rd Hit); Newjack (2nd Hit). For now Buffalo Phil is breaking even. RadGuy hits again and is the only player 6 for 6. Can he ever fail? Joey Russ by hitting his Joker on the 3rd hit doubles the extra point bonus, hence his jump in the standings. (Yeah, getting lucky seems to part of this game, and one of paddyfool's regrets comes into play).

YoungWillz 21,074 Posted April 12, 2020 Update for Stirling Moss Hits for Clorox Bleachman (5th Hit); Skinny Kiltrunner (4th Hit); msc (5th Hit); theoldlady (5th Hit); ThereWillBe Deaths (5th Hit); Joey Russ (4th Hit); Zefph (5th Hit); TheQuimReaper (5th Hit); Torva Messor (5th Hit); Grim Up North (5th Hit); Great Uncle Bulgaria (4th Hit).
