        • Hmmm...it's been so long I thought Omni Rex had himself become extinct.

          Which reminds me - what if a player manages to kick the bucket mid-way through the contest? Is that an automatic forfit or does he/she remain in the game?
          If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.

            So says the ever elusive Embalmer. Where's your team?

            It is an event not covered by the rules but so long as their celebs deaths are reported by someone they are eligible to keep scoring. I suppose they would win posthumously. Is there something you want to tell us?

              Following in that format my team shall be the "Canadian Cadaver Dogs".

              • Dogs? Not Ferrets?

                • Cadaver Ferrets just doesn't have the right ring to it.

                      • We currently have 7 teams registered and ready to go.

                        There are another two teams that I am expecting entries from. We have more than enough teams to play at this point.

                        So far the 7 of us have chosen 107 different celebs (lists of 25 names).

                        There is still time for more players to join. Entry deadline is about one week away.

                          Was it my #3?

                          Everyone on my list is either pretty well known or obscure people I pulled off that page that Americans probably don't know any better than Canadians would.

                          Or... maybe I have another guess to who you didn't recognize, but I'm not going to go back into my PM box to find his number. Hmm...

                            Isn't that right? I've slept since then, so I could be wrong.

                                Nah, everyone knows him. Actually, that pick is on 4 lists so far.

                                It was #'s 12 and 23 that I didn't know. Thus far you are the only one to choose #12 and only one other chose #23 (although you probably won't have this pick at start of game as he's too far down your reserve list).
