Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 30, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2011 http://www.wanderersways.com/forum/topic/63462-infamous-deadpool/ That's the previous one. It'll need someone with editorial rights to sort it out I reckon. The problem is, there was never a prize. Maybe if we all put a fiver in via paypal 50% to prize fund, 50% towards running of the site it'd become more of a competition. Or maybe it's hoped it'll die a death due to it being in fairly bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It comes with an almost funereal atmosphere to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I usually run it, but I normally get quite a few requests form people to restart it. So far, anewman is the first to ask. If people want me to run another, and the powers that be are OK with it, then I'll do it again. It is morbid and funereal, but it's also a WW tradition and less depressing than watching the team play. PS if people want to run it as a cash prize type of thing: IAMOUT. Somebody else can organise it. I have always personally offered a mystery prize from Traf's Prize Cupboard: this is still on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 30, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2011 Same rules as last time? 1. Must be famous people/celebrities ie not other posters.2. Nobody with an obvious Bolton area connection. 3. No ex-Bolton players/staff. 4. I reserve the right to either personally or under Admin's advice to refuse a prediction if I feel it be morally or personally offensive in any way, shape or form. 5. The nominee must have been heard of by a large chunk of the WW consensus: this is to stop the Googlers looking for ageing, ill political leaders in the Far East. 6. People who are known to be suffering from a terminal illness will not be accepted either. 7. If you nominate a TV actor/actress: the actor/actress must be the nominee: NOT their TV character.

Traf Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes, but please no more nominations on this thread. 1. We wait for admin approval. 2. I start a new thread solely for the 2012 Deadpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Francis Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Or maybe it's hoped it'll die a death due to it being in fairly bad taste. Never thought of it like that even though I dont usually participate. I suppose its similar to each of us guessing which of our fellow posters families will be passing away this year. Or is it ?

Ani Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 last year Nat was ill so I think people thought it was tasteless, it was ok to suggest the queen but Nat would have been offensive was the general view. from memory this was the basic discussion, i personally could nt care either way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
