    I don't really care. If other players end up with short lists it improves my odds. Hell, even embalmer might be able to do something with that kind of advantage.

      Don't hold your breath; and if you did, he'd try to claim you were dead and on his list.
      Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

          So where's your 2010 team embalmer?

            What if I can't think of a good team name?

              Team names aren't compulsory. Your default name in my files would be Team ColdWizard.

                Such a boring name would make me ashamed to participate.

                  Do you need an email?
                  PM sent.

                  Interestingly, Sloww only had one eligible reserve left on his list:
                  Keith Richards.

                    Thanks.

                    Keith Richards is already dead and doesn't know it.

                      Excellent submission Ozzy.

                      I'll give it the official confirmation in the next couple days.

                        Oh hell, I submitted a new list afterall. With alternates.

                        My first two years I didn't bother with a team name. Didn't matter much. Though I think I only had like one death over both years, so maybe a name would help. I came up with one this year, we'll see what happens...

                            I've compiled a summary of the first two seasons of play. I'll post it soon.

                              I already wish I'd done mine differently. I had intended to make mine solely comprised of people who could hypothetically qualify, I guess anyone qualifies, but I could save their life by listing them. Jerry Lewis comes to mind.

                                Having a theme for your team is tough. Ones I've seen:

                                One Less Bullet Come The Revolution (Royals or nobility across the world)
                                Y-Shaped Coffin (all females)
                                John Stalker fielded a team consisting entirely of celebrities whom he had met or seen in person.


                                Of course we had Team ER here at Poly in the 2008 Edition.
