(Still bitter and hoping for revenge at some point…) Depending on the luck of the draw we might face each other again some day. We’ll just have to wait and see.

TQR 14,394 Posted February 1, 2020 Predictions: JiroemonKimura vs Old Crem - Our aged Japanese friend will nick it. LizLemon vs Etushispushingupdaisies - Etush, and for fuck sake best of luck to you in Round 2. FixedBusiness vs The Unknown Man - Fixed Biz, I reckon. Annami vs Grobler - Annami. A close one. HDS vs Great Uncle Bulgaria - Shame about HDS' initial joker. Unc will get Joker points and win. An Fear Beag vs Markb4 - AFB to nick it. DeathByArsenic vs Sean - Arsenic, by 1 unique point. Wormfarmer vs Joemoneypenny - Wormy, I'd say. Djemba Djemba vs Yorkshire Banker - I'm gonna have a punt on beginner's luck for Djemba. Skinny Kiltrunner vs Sir Creep - They'll get two hits each, they'll be names they had in common and it'll go to a coin toss. Skinny will win the toss and Sir Creep will hunt both him and Roey down and raze their houses to the ground in a fit of rage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on the names I know (which isn't much): Jiroemon, Liz, Unknown Man, Grobler, HDS, An Fear Beag (An Fear for Mark in this tie), DeathbyArsenic (based on a potentially great unique joker, although Seans somewhat kamikaze "All The Cancer Names" approach could prove fruitful!), Wormfarmer, Djemba, and...feck, WW3 on this thread.

gcreptile 10,970 Posted February 2, 2020 Kind of glad to have a breather after this turbulent January. I am, once again going through my annual burn-out / recovery period post-change of year. But then again, I am hoping to be fully recharged at the end of February to submit my team. Also, I kind of think that we are going to have a week of relative silence now, only to be back in a storm after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
