Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 7, 2020 After five weeks, you would think we missed dozens of hits. In fact I see three total: Bullett Bob Armstrong, Frankie Banali, and Dale Hawerchuk. Surely I will be corrected and/or enlightened lol. You would think a fair number of points. In fact all I see is 4. Scoreboard #1 - 7 Sept 2020 HDS (4) Joey Russ (4) Death Impends (4) Etushispushingupdaisies (3) msc (2) WormfarmerGuyFromFuture (2) Banana (2) gcreptile (2) CaptainChorizo (1) The Old Crem (1) Book (1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seemed to have forgotten the bonus points for those who were born from 1940 or later. Also for my unique hit of Sumner Redstone for 2 + 3 solo. Additionally, those who had Armstrong should receive the extra points for having the vowel A, in the last name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yeah, me, Death Impends, and GuyFromFuture needs another point for vowel hit. And the Banali and Hawerchuk pickers need the 1940 or later points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s acceptable, I believe that’s worth 6 points (3 for alliteration, 3 for a solo). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s acceptable, I believe that’s worth 6 points (3 for alliteration, 3 for a solo). Yikes! Great call! I had him on a list somewhere, then forgot! Hope this game gets updated soon! Hard to keep track of it. Needs to be updated for Lee Kerslake, Pat Smullen, Sumner Redstone, John Hume, Stanley Crouch, Forrest Fenn, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Tommy DeVito, Frank Windsor and Arthur Ashkin. NB! Also Eddie van Halen. Additionally many should have solo/duo points, alliteration points, being born in 1940 or afterwards points, extra points for certain letters, etc. Edited October 7, 2020 by theoldlady 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HDS 243 Posted October 12, 2020 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/10/12/politics/roberta-mccain-dies/index.html If this pool is still going, Roberta McCain is a hit for a few of us.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted October 13, 2020 Conchata Ferrell a duo for Sir Creep and me after a QO. Maybe that might incite an update? Edit: https://metro.co.uk/2020/10/13/two-half-men-actress-conchata-ferrell-dies-aged-77-13417757/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 14, 2020 Updated - and we see gcreptile, on the strength of his unusual names becoming his usual solo hits, taking the lead as we round the 1/6th pole. Upstart HDS having a strong start, and a few of the top regulars filtering in below him. As before, if you think points were missed, do please let me know.
