TxRover Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 After carefully rereading the time rules, I’m still a wee bit confused by the following scenario: If I select a celeb who lives in Hawaii (GMT-10) and dies after 0000 GMT but before 0000 in the GMT-10 time zone, did the death occur the previous year (based upon local time) or the current year (based upon GMT)…the closing time/date suggests B, but the following “despite” stipulation suggests A. If it’s variable based upon the beginning or the end of the year, it seems there’s a minuscule advantage to be gained by picking Hawaii-based, alcoholic surfers with partying habits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arabdownunder Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Would have to be local time. Obituaries rarely say what time someone died, only the local date of death 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 My first submission since 2017 and the first time I haven’t either picked too many/not enough players or someone who’s already pan breed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 I've replied to everyone's messages so if you haven't had one, let me know. 111 entries this year which I think is a record in my time running the game. After going through my inbox it certainly feels like one. As I mentioned there are lots of first-time players this year, so I hope you do well enough to stick around for 2023. I'll post the new spreadsheet tomorrow with the first update of the year. Five people picked someone who's already dead. One person picked three of them. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amnarab Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I still have no PM. Think the problem is my end. I know I put it in but there's no sign of it. I've tried several different ways but it's not working for me. I know you said you replied but I can't find the PM anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
