Ooh, I just saw what you did, cheeky gal.

111-85 = 26. For Jim.

Jury's out on f3......

fff ain't gettin squat in my book. He must think we're all mental nuts.

Like I said, it doesn't show anywhere in the rules that you can't add someone in the 11th hour. Just because I can think outside the box and had the foresight to leave a slot open for latecomers doesn't mean that you're not as good as me.

Because I am better than you means that you aren't as good as me.

I'll still win even without that pedo's points.

And if I don't get those points I will add another name to make my list of ten.

11th hour?

Do you mean 13th hour?

classicman 01-23-2012 02:24 PM

I added him before he died.

I wasn't trying to be serious.

To make a logical extension to your point though, then there's nothing to stop someone who hasn't entered yet from making their list by adding individuals as the year goes on and surely that would be against the spirit of the rules if not the letter.

Clodfobble 01-23-2012 05:27 PM

On the other hand, if you add people in July you only have 6 months for them to hurry up and die instead of a full year. Your window is smaller. Not that it matters to me, because this game requires too long of an attention span for me to play. I voted against foot getting the points in the other thread, because I can't condone rewarding someone who has a long attention span and follows the news closely. That sort of person has their own rewards coming, and I feel they should help shoulder the burden for the less fortunate.

footfootfoot 01-23-2012 06:42 PM

That's just it, I don't follow the news closely. I use wikipedia to generate my lists. I have no idea who a lot of those people are.

If Foot did something not specifically prohibited by the rules, and the only way he can be opposed is to fall back on some notion of honor or fairness, it seems like there's not a lot of footing there. I mean the game isn't exactly an honorable one. It's all about betting on people's deaths. I think he was clever and funny to think so quickly about this after the false news reports but before the death.

monster 01-24-2012 08:43 AM

I have to say I agree. I don't want to, but I do. If I'm really honest, I presumed this was his plan when he only submitted 9 and it didn't bother me. I just didn't expect it to be so nicely handed over on a plate, but them's the breaks..... :lol: I couldn't care less either way, really.
