h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll email my list over later... it'll likely be the same as this year's except without Peter O'Toole!

Right, I'd better get it in then

On account of me missing people that I've used before I might go through my old lists and pick those still alive... hmm, new tactic, genius!

Bet I still lose

And yet another one to chalk up to the 'used to be on my list, but not in the year of importance'

Ronnie Biggs has finally popped off this mortal coil.

Thanks Orcus

That's a first, someone's replacement for a deceased person dying before the 2014 Game can begin

I'll go tweak the Home Page and Scoreboard

That looks to me like a three way tie on first place now - that must be another 1st!

A87781972 and A87781963 updated. It is indeed a three way tie for first place - atinythorn, C Hawke and Spiller.

will send a new name later

We now have 6 players, Beatrice, Galaxy Babe, Icy North, logicus tracticus philosophicus, Mol and Mr603.

And quite a few followers.

I lurk.
Like a kid watching grown-ups play a very grown-up game.

I was never here.

I'll be in - just hoping sudden rush from my current list will take me into 2nd clear victory.

I'll be joining again, haven't had time to mull over the possibles yet

I will be in .....probably using the remaining two thirds of my list that managed (so far) to beat off the grim reaper.

My list is sent

Mine is also sent

Mine isn't yet, been a touch busy getting the next version of the site ready to launch. When do they need to be in by?

Just like your new software version - yesterday

I get to set my own deadlines now

4 new posts so I assume there's been a sudden crop of point-scoring deaths but no, it's people talking about next year <\grumble>



Mol

Well now, sorry about that, Mol. Just one more aside from me after . . .

I predict a 10% chance of my own demise

blerry youngster.
Things must really have got soft...

Mind you, I do appreciate what a difference it must have made to be able to link-up to your TV instead of going into a l-o-n-g printer queue.
