YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 14, 2020 Sax player Hal Singer has finally got a Guardian Obit. And all that jazz. Anyway, he's a unique for msc who wanders up to 4th. No bonuses, leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next death or the Card Roulette Draw, whichever is the earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 15, 2020 Surprisingly few players went for Pat Smullen, who has taken his time to be a faller and cross the finish line...if that makes no sense, you're in my Casino! Nary a proper hit since August 27th! So big ups to Perhaps, Banana, Grim Up North and An Fear Beag who all collect points and trot up the leaderboard. Bonuses: Perhaps hits a pair of 10s for 10 Additional Points. Banana hits a pair of Qs - 10 Additional Points and also makes two pair of Qs and 5s for 15 Additional Points - Total 25 Additional Points (putting Banana on 666 Points - OMEN?) As you can see, leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 16, 2020 Back on a roll it seems, jazz is being bad for picks and good for players! gcreptile gets an unique with Stanley Crouch, nothing to criticise him for that pick! Bonuses: Makes a pair of 7s - 10 Additional Points, and also two pair of 7s and 9s - 15 Additional Points - Total - 25 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 19, 2020 From Jazz to Judges! Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has answered the Great Sub Poena and all the evidence points to hits for me (YoungWillz), markb4; Great Uncle Bulgaria (first proper hit); and The Quim Reaper. Bonuses: markb4 hits A Diamonds - 5 Additional Points, and also makes a pair of As - 10 Additional Points - Total - 15 Additional Points. Great Uncle Bulgaria hits a Black Joker: 50 Points Bonus. Sean had RBG as a sub and draws 7 Diamonds for 7 points added. Leaderboard updated. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 19, 2020 With Lee Kerslake's death finally sneaking a Qobit through the din of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's demise and the expiry of the Irish President's bloody dog, the beats are coming through. Just not heartbeats! So it's the Sound Of Drums for me (YoungWillz); gcreptile; Grim Up North and An Fear Beag. Bonuses. Gcreptile hits a third 9 and so is awarded the following: Pair 9s (Hearts and Clubs) - 10 Points; Pair 9s (Hearts and Spades) - 10 Points; Two Pair 9s (Hearts and Clubs) and 7s - 15 Points; Two Pair 9s (Hearts and Spades) and 7s - 15 Points; Three of a Kind (9s) - 20 Points; Full House of 9s over 7s - 80 Points. Total Additional Points - 150. An Fear Beag hits A Clubs - 5 Additional Points. Perhaps had Kerslake as a sub and draws K Hearts for 13 Points added. And with that, despite his initial misgivings about the cards he was dealt, gcreptile cymbal crashes into third place. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 21, 2020 The cards are being played "with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season". And also quickly! Just Death By Arsenic and Toast had Michael Lonsdale. So up the leaderboard Hugo. (You go. Geddit?) Death By Arsenic hits a Red Joker for the 50 Point Joker Bonus. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 22, 2020 You'll have noticed a new selection of tunes coming over the loudspeakers: Jackie by Scott Walker; Jacky by Marc Almond; Jackie by Placebo and La Chanson de Jacky by Jacques Brel. This can only mean one thing - Jackie Stallone is dead. So, two players picked her for doom this year, Bibliogryphon and Great Uncle Bulgaria. Very prescient, her fate was in and now with the stars.

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 22, 2020 Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, them's the 4 Seasons but Death Impends picked the one to die and Tommy DeVito is a unique for him. Hits A Clubs for 5 Additional Bonus Points. Coming up to Rag Doll Joey, Death Impends merely minimal points behind in second. Leaderboard updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 23, 2020 The Sun Also Rises, but The Sun Also Sets on Juliette Greco. A unique for Death By Arsenic whose French-heavy team are doing well during the mid-way period. To paraphrase the old lollipop stick joke - How much does a Greco earn? Just the standard hit award.

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted October 3, 2020 Let's go out to the ball game! Only kidding, stay in your seats players, Bob Gibson has succumbed to cancer aged 84, so age and disease really pitched him a curve ball! Hits for Joey Russ, msc, Death Impends, Perhaps and An Fear Beag. Bonuses: Death Impends hits a Q and makes a Straight with A, K, Q, J and 10 Spades - 30 Points and another with A, K, Q, J and 10 Diamonds - 30 Points - Total - 60 Additional Points. Perhaps makes a Pair of 7s - 10 Points and also Two Pair of 7s and 10s - 15 Points - Total - 25 Additional Points. An Fear Beag makes a Pair of 7s - 10 Additional Points. Joey was leader and had a hit with Gibson, putting him on 1066 and all that. However, his Hastings score actually moves him into second, with former 2 time champ Death Impends taking the top spot for now with all those bonuses. msc moves into the third place spot.

I was REALLY lucky getting a full house with 6 hits. Now Reza-Shajarian is my 7th hit. But here, it was very unfortunate Mark Naley didn't obit. If he had, Reza-Shajarian would have given me roughly 150pts of bonuses (full house, two times two pairs, a new pair of fives). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted October 30, 2020 Still nothing for Bruce Reid as far as I can see. Find one and I'll credit. Meantime, hits all over for Nobby Stiles (not the top two though!).
