Intermittent faster here too. No grains, no pains.

Only msc went against the grain by not expecting Genesis to turn to Exodus this year, and now throbs to a point away from the bottom.

Stirling Moss is my first hit here and he's a doozy.

 

Loadsapoints! (In the Harry Enfield stylee).

[Death Impends 7,979]

Stirling pounds 15 teams off track, with some of those sputtering engines perhaps beyond refueling. They certainly wish they'd have gathered no Moss for this year...

Here's hoping Michael Robinson is a torpedo for leading players. I of course didn't have him.

And there goes my score of 0. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted...

Totally fucked me, I had him at #2! Not that I'm a leading player this year...

[Death Impends 7,979]

And here's to you, Michael Robinson, Jesus loves you more than the 21 teams who picked him here. Only two clean sheets remain. Every way you look at it, you lose...

[Toast 16,144]

I'm afraid I'd forgotten all about him, which was at least lucky for me here! 

[Bibliogryphon 9,586]

It says a lot that my only win in 10 years of Deadpooling came in the Inverse Dead Pool. I am clearly much better at picking people who won't die.

Jill Gascoine goes for my Battleship at #11 now.

 

That'll teach me to gloat about Robinson!

Well that lasted less than 24 hours.

 

Holed below the waterline with dear old Jill

Darn I was rooting for you Biblio!

[paddyfool 379]

No more clean slates... to anyone else on 18 points or more, although we're still clearly not in contention, do you not feel a tiny bit of relieved schadenfreude that all punters have proved fallible this time?

 

Nothing against gcreptile or biblio, or the other seven who had clean slates until very recently; I just don't want to be too badly shown up.

[Death Impends 7,979]

Jill Gascoine reaches her Endin Line. 19 teams had her, so anything but a Gentle Touch is applied to the scoreboard with everyone now having at least one death. And so now at the top is, erm, me...

Sam Lloyd would've been part of the selectable fifty if he were on one more DDP team. I believe that's the first time the sub name has died during the game, and as I would have placed him quite high were he pickable, it's a bullet dodged for me and likely several others.

[Joey Russ 7,228]

Anyone have Little Richard here? I sure didn’t.

Oh yes, 2020 quite the disaster here.

[Death Impends 7,979]

Good golly, 23 teams had Little Richard. They're all slippin' and slidin' down the scoreboard and might have to rip it up regarding their victory hopes. Reptile stayed clear of him though, and is ready ready ready to rock n' roll at the top of the scoreboard.

[paddyfool 379]

In two weeks we've gone from 9 teams still on 0 points to only 3 teams with less than 10 points.  Bit of a bloodbath, all told.

[Pedro67 232]

Sad to see Vera Lynn depart, but at least I didn't have her here

[TQR 14,400]

Ah fuck. Rather brilliantly, I picked Vera in both this and the Correctlist. I have no explanation or defence for my idiocy.

[YoungWillz 21,057]

YES! A miss for me!

[gcreptile 10,978]

I always forget who I picked here, and have to go back and check every time.
