[Winston]

It wouldn't make the difference between winning or losing at the game. If you are in contention for the Empty Casket it means you are no where near the top of the leader board.

Not necessarily, there could be scenarios where it would take on more importance than was (presumably) intended.

Dropping it would also make the task of hosting the pool easier..

It's no big deal either way.

You and Winston are the only two teams without team names.

I'll think of something and get back to you. Five minutes spent in deep thought produced nothing.

[Wezil]

OK. How about Dallas Dead Dwarf Tossers? That will work.

Gee I don't know. Someone might get offended.

Done.

The task isn't really an issue. I removed the Killing Spree Award for that reason but quite frankly I'm considering restoring it.

[Guynemer]

I still want bonus points for consecutive kills with the same cause of death.

I do like that idea however that is something that makes my job more difficult. It would be one more data item I would need to keep.

[SlowwHand]

Like swine flu?

[Guynemer]

No, like brain cancer.

You are getting into a "theme" idea however (like all royals or only celebs named Bob). That's more on the player's end for their amusement than it is on mine. Pick a team full of brain cancer patients.

[Guynemer]

Guild of Calamitous Intent entry has been sent.

I noticed a spelling error just after sending my list, entry #14. Should be obvious who that is.

[ricketyclik]

In like Flynn (he's already dead, so don't bother looking him up).

[Winston]

You and Winston are the only two teams without team names.

I'll think of something and get back to you.

The name for my team shall be "Something rotten".

[Ming]

The name for my team shall be "Something rotten".

PERFECT

[Wezil]

Guild of Calamitous Intent entry has been sent.

Processed and official.

That's what his friends call him. Fixed.
