I’m very sorry, but you posted after the deadline so your entry is not eligible. I can keep track and see how it would have done. ---

Folks, I’ll have stuff finished tomorrow evening or Monday morning. I’ve been working to untangle all the deaths here at the end of the year, but I’m tired and it’s late. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Jeremiah Green beats the deadline Well, that sucks. I really loved Modest Mouse’s stuff. > [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > Damnit. My one ringer steps off too early … and brilliant me, I chose no alternates. The funny thing for me was, early yesterday I found my alternate, a wrestling broadcaster named Don West, had just died. So half-jokingly, I said I figured I’d better have another alternate, the way they were dropping like flies, so I picked a new alternate. Good thing I did. ---

Are all of us screwed who put Jeremiah Green or may we substitute someone in? I was up until midnight. I guess it is my loss, to be fair. ---

Yes, if you had alternates I’ll move the first one up for you. Hopefully most players do. ---

Well, in my case @Baker, Ahnold will take his place among my list of 13 as I did have him as an alternate. ---
