MattJimF Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Word is Michael Winner is deid. Tried to fact check, though, and it's not on any news sites yet.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21123532As such he can not be added to any teams.

Alkaline Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 You should have put him in, then posted, instant points.This is why changing the line-up once posted is cheating. I will call bullshit if anyone else dies and people have done the old switcheroo, independent tribunal etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 You should have put him in, then posted, instant points.I guess I can take my time in compiling the list now. Surely only one famous person can die each day?Looks like Scorge, Graham Knight, ca_gere and Alan are all in for points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will call bullshit if anyone else dies and people have done the old switcheroo, independent tribunal etc etc.I don't think it's cheating because a) you can't change it once somebody has already died, b) the option is there for everybody and c) in doing so you invalidate your earlier entry and thus any points you've already accrued / first pick bonuses.Next year I'm going to have everyone submit their team anonymously. There's an awful lot of names popping up multiple times, I think people read other people's lists for ideas before compiling their own lists, which is against the spirit of things really.

I wasn't a big fan of him, but this is still great. I'd rather see Littlejohn dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this sub nonsense either. You pick your list and you stand by it as your chosen celebs tumble into the abyss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this sub nonsense either. You pick your list and you stand by it as your chosen celebs tumble into the abyss.That was my plan. Post them once they're all in and the deadline is passed. Yeah OK we can ditch the subs as well. If we're doing that then then we also ditch the 1st pick bonus, as that was introduced as a deterrent for copying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yass...points!!!! I recall being the one who moaned last year about early lists being plundered so I agree that 'hidden' lists would be a good idea next year. Hopefully it'll be Maggie next.

Graham Knight Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I just looked again at the list I posted on January 1st and see I have a duplicate - what a dummy However I agree with Alkaline - no subs - SO I will be happy if all the 19 remaining die. One down already, 18 to go.Also glad nobody has named me on their list yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
