D-Bear. check your PM’s

151

Just to let players know, when there is a problem with an entry I’ll make a short post, like the one just before this, to let the poster know there’s an issue with their entry. Then I’ll send a PM in explanation.

After that the poster is on their own. If they don’t respond or change their entry I won’t send a second reminder.

When each of you started playing this for the first time, when one of your picks was announced as sick and it was maybe a month to go before the list was valid, did you find yourselves thinking, “man, just hang on a little longer”? I noticed doing that myself with Mandela and Chavez and being a bit…disturbed by it.

And for not paying attention to the “Pick 13 celebrities” rule (instead of 10).
:slight_smile:

157

Oh, you’ll get over that! :smiley:

158

Actually, in the case of Chavez, I had him on my 2012 list so I find myself thinking, “Kick the bucket already” so I won’t have to worry about whether his 2013 bandwagon is worth jumping on.

159

You are disturbed. The very fact that you have an entry in The Death Pool establishes you are disturbed. :smiley: Oh and you’ll get over the feeling when you start checking your list to see whether or not you had someone on your list everytime a celebrity dies.
