YoungWillz 21,071 Posted July 30, 2020 At Last The Toast Show! Yes, Toast only needed one Sydney Lotterby to die and she joins the well populated leaderboard with a unique hit. Leaderboard updated. Tomorrow I shall be making the first monthly Card Roulette draw, when we shall have everyone playing. Do not despair, there's ages to go yet! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,727 Posted July 31, 2020 28 minutes ago, YoungWillz said: (MD: J [2]) Ignore me I've worked it out - I'm a numpty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,071 Posted July 31, 2020 Just now, Grim Up North said: Okay so to limit the size of the quote I've just used my own monthly draw selection as the example. MD stands for Monthly Draw J - I presume is the monthly draw card and J stands for Jack 2 - I thought this would be number of points I would get for the Monthly Draw Card but then I would have thought it would be 10 for a Jack? Also where I have a 2 some people have a J K or an A which suggests this might be the card? Bit baffled. MD - Monthly Draw J - July [x] - Card allocated. So you have chanced upon a 2, 2 Points added. You're 25th out of 26 teams, so your card will always be the penultimate one if that helps for future draws! Unlucky this time, but there's still 5 to go! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,071 Posted July 31, 2020 I should probably remind folk that the draw is the same as for subs. 14 for an A, 13 for a K; 12 for a Q, 11 for a J, then 10-2 value of card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted July 31, 2020 So to be clear, can we play the monthly draw cards? I assume not, since you didn't specify the suits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the monthly draw is just a points award, like you would have if you had a sub hit. I didn't want anyone playing their card as they might end up with two cards the same. And that would never do. Also, I'll add a welcome to the leaderboard to CalebH, Great Uncle Bulgaria and Guy From Future - everybody's on the board! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,071 Posted August 2, 2020 The Thing is Sean is proving himself a Natural at this game. Wilford Brimley has gone and is a unique hit. Also hits a pair of 8s for 10 Additional Points. Sean now finds himself Cocooned in second place. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,071 Posted August 3, 2020 I'm sure a few hearts went all a-Trimble on hearing of John Hume's death. A Nobel life and a pick that hopefully will mean peace will break out - yes, I'm restocking the bar with Irish Whiskey! Anyhow, hits for The Old Crem, The Quim Reaper and....Sean. The Quim Reaper picks up an additional 50 Points for hitting his Red Joker. This means that Sean takes a giant leap towards what was previously Joey's gigantic lead which has been cut back substantially. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,071 Posted August 12, 2020 Sumner Redstone has finally died, leaving his fortune behind, but paying out points for six players: YoungWillz; Death Impends; An Fear Beag; The Quim Reaper, The Old Crem and Perhaps. Bonus for The Old Crem who hits a pair of 2s - 10 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,071 Posted August 21, 2020 No Sax in heaven yet but the drummer is waiting. Frankie Banali's demise was a hit for most players, including the top three. Bonuses: Yorkshire Banker hits A Clubs - 5 Additional Points. Joey Russ makes a pair of Ks - 10 Additional Points, Two Pair (As and Ks) - 15 Points - Total = 25 Additional Points. Sean makes a pair of 8s (Hearts and Clubs) - 10 Additional Points; a pair of 8s (Spades and Clubs) - 10 Additional Points and Three 8s - 20 Additional Points - Total = 40 Additional Points.

YoungWillz 21,071 Posted August 28, 2020 Bob Armstrong has taken a Bullet for Joey Russ, Death Impends, msc; gcreptile; Captain Chorizo; Clorox Bleachman and Grim Up North. Bonus: msc hits a pair of Qs - 10 Additional Points. Death Impends wrestles himself into second. Still months of this and remember, those at the top are simply running out of cards to play!

YoungWillz 21,071 Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks to Joey's Hawk-Eye, old tennis pro Bob Ryland has a QO using his Sunday name of Robert. JoeMoneypenny thus gets a unique hit, also hitting his Black Joker down the line for the Joker Bonus of 50 Points. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
