chomp my root 718 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 I bowed out last year but I'm up for it again for 2017, are you still doing the obscure US college sports stuff or has that been binned ?

Bishop Briggs 328 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 Shouldn't the Dead Pool be a list of those that posters want to, rather than expect, to die? It would be much better to have such controversial lists rather than the usual suspects - cancer and MND sufferers, stroke victims, nonagenarians etc. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a forum with the usual threads that could be considered to be objectionable or in poor taste. Unless you plan to murder those on your list... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBA 28 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 Not started cutting down my shortlist just yet - 2016 isn't finished with us yet. After a promising start this year, I've fell away a bit. Aiming for a top-5 finish next year! Feel free to bring this post back when none of my bunch play the game and I've got zero points this time next year. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardinal Richelieu 4,048 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 I'm not famous, but I'd imagine if I was the first person to throw myself off the new Queensferry Crossing, my suicide might make the news.Would I be awarded the points in this scenario? Admittedly, it's a bit of an extreme step to take, but I'm quite competitive. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I treat my squad like an NFL roster. It's huge to start with, but I cut people in various phases until I'm left with the best I can manage. There's always room for a late big trade though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
