      Late Entries

      Straybow has submitted a late post, so the 13 people who sent in their entries before midnight US CST all receive the On Time Airlines Award and 25 points.

      NOTE: This list (and all late entries) still has to be checked against the aggregate list to ensure that no unique picks have been usurped. It looks like there may be one or two, in which case the reserves will be utilized. Sorry; no time to check just now.

                I noticed that a couple of people have Chemical Ali on their lists. Isn't he currently under sentence of death, and thus in violation of rule 22 f)?

                  I agree... that has to be against the rules. Unless people only can get points if he dies of natural causes while in prison and NOT because he gets executed, then I would be ok with it.

                    I've made such a list, along with a list of who was picked most (winner: the indestructable Fidel 'CIA' Castro), and wil send it to -Jrabbit.

                            Thanks, Wezil, will do.

                            I am still researching the Chiemical Ali thing; just got back from the French consulate and have lots of work to complete by end of business. Will resolve by end of weekend.

                            My impulse is to reject those picks and replace them, per the rules (and/or per Sloww's preference). As long as no one dies in the meantime, I doubt anyone will object.
