Asking, cos I can't be the only one wondering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah, being the first coronavirus victim in your country doesn’t really make you eligible for the cup unless you can prove another claim to fame about them. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 27, 2020 Update on those teams who sent in to me: Skinny Kiltrunner or Sir Creep vs JiroemonKimura or Old Crem Annami or Grobler vs John Key Engineer vs Grim YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer or Joemoneypenny Bibliogryphon vs msc Torva vs Reptile Banana vs Spade_Cooley Quim Reaper vs Deathray Maryport vs Deadsox Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic or Sean An Fear Bag or Markb4 vs Alt Obits Guy DDT vs Book Djemba Djemba or Yorkshire Banker vs Joey Russ Chorizo vs HDS or Great Uncle Bulgaria Death Impends vs LizLemon or Ethushishispushingupdaisies Clorox vs FixedBusiness or The Unknown Man Also, for those hoping to sneak into next round in case the winner forget, I’ve decided to sort that via highest scoring loser, just to give those who put up a good effort another shot and not have to feel down like I did whenever I had one of the best teams in the match but lost to an even better team. Now, so far I will have to do a random drawing for third place since Arap Moi is the youngest hit of those who got three (and a lot of people had him), so I will draw those names in a few days (hopefully some more folk scores so I don’t have to do that). However, top 2 highest scoring losers atm are Sir Creep and Djemba Djemba, so definitely don’t give up on submitting in a team if you’re down... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormfarmer 427 Posted February 27, 2020 My team just went PM as well. After that big day for supergeezers on Feb 24th (3 on my watchlist), I almost wanted to go with an all supergeezers team. But that probably won't happen again for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other news, I think I need to remind folk again that if you competed in round 1 I left all of those DMs to create more space in the DMs, so you have to send in your team in a new DM. Hopefully we won’t have a situation where someone submitted their team but I never received it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 27, 2020 Also a heads up, unless someone can actually find evidence that he’s still alive today, I will be rejecting Katsumi Tezuka. Notable, yes, but apparently he hasn’t been seen since the 1960s. So very probable he died off radar... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 27, 2020 Ah, now I’m getting plenty of submissions, so to make sure I’m missing anyone, this is the state of submissions: Skinny Kiltrunner or Sir Creep vs JiroemonKimura or Old Crem Annami or Grobler vs John Key Engineer vs Grim YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer or Joemoneypenny Bibliogryphon vs msc Torva vs Reptile Banana vs Spade_Cooley Quim Reaper vs Deathray Maryport vs Deadsox Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic or Sean An Fear Bag or Markb4 vs Alt Obits Guy DDT vs Book Djemba Djemba or Yorkshire Banker vs Joey Russ Chorizo vs HDS or Great Uncle Bulgaria Death Impends vs LizLemon or Ethushishispushingupdaisies Clorox vs FixedBusiness or The Unknown Man Of course, many of the above will be last minute submissions, but there’s a few question marks on when they’ll submit their team...
