Dailians!


August is coming to an end and time is running out if you’re to thinking about submitting a team for September’s ‘Daily Challenge game.


Don’t worry if you haven’t played before. Just read the rules below and get posting. You might end up top of the Leaderboard with your first attempt! New players are always welcome.


It’s a very easy game to play. The object of the game is to pick a team of 11 characters from those listed below which you think will score the more points than the other people playing the game.


New players will need to pick a name for their team. Those of you who played in the ‘Daily Challenge last month can retain the same name or change it (if you think you’ve thought of something better.)


Once you’ve whittled your shortlist down to 11 characters you will then need to nominate one of them as Captain. This character will have their score doubled so you’re really looking to identify the character which you think will score the most points during the month to maximise your chances of winning.


Then, simply post your choices on the thread or send them to me via PM, and keep an eye out for the Monday ‘Daily to see how your “team” is doing in the score updates.

The scoring system works as follows:-

+ 1 point per episode appearance

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode before the break.

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the first words in the episode after the break

+ 1 point for the character that speaks the last words in the episode.

+ 1 point for any kisses on the lips. If you have both characters who kiss in your team each character will receive a point.

+ 2 bonus points for any character that appears in 6 or more episodes during the week. In the event of any episodes being transmitted on a weekend the week will run from Monday to Sunday.

*** Please note changes to the rules – From January 2016 onwards only regular characters can earn points for words spoken.
Sighs, tuts and only other noises will no longer be counted as words for the purpose of earning bonus points.
In the events of crowd noise the regular character who speaks first after it / last before it will be awarded the bonus point as appropriate ***


+ Remember that your team Captain gets their score doubled!!!


Your “Starting List” for September’s ‘Daily Challenge is as follows:-

• Remember you need to select ELEVEN characters (including a captain) – no more, no less. *

Those are you who would like some help with their team selection can find some hints:-

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/

and

http://www.itv.com/emmerdale/coming-up/



The deadline for teams to be submitted is: Thursday 01 September at 7:00pm

Alongside the main game is the Boys Versus Girls Team Challenge .


You do not need to do an extra “work” for this other than specify which gender you are if it is not already listed on your profile.


For the purposes of this game, each player will have just their Captain included in their relevant team.
If there is an imbalance in numbers the Captain of the team with the lower number gets to pick who makes up the deficit.


For example if there were 14 Girls playing and 10 Boys playing and SULLA was Boys Captain then he could pick whoever he likes to make up the 4 additional places in his team. These four additional "players" could be the same as his Captain, or, if he wanted to spread the risk he could pick a number of different characters.
Each team also has an appointed Team Captain.


Thanks to Alleycat666 and Gulfie for Captaining the teams in August.



For August the Team Captains will be:- CollieWobbles and Ownnnn

Greetings RK ; and other earthlings.

It's red hot here and I hope everyones had a nice Bank Holiday.
I shall be watching ED on my smartphone so may not be posting

Same here. I have taken full advantage and done lots of washing!

I've been at work and it's horrible watching the sun from inside

Thanks for the thread
Salve all.

Good evening, all.

Cheers for the thread, RK.

It's hot and sizzling down my way. once again. Not unlike Ross Barton.

Cheers RK. Evening Dailians.

Evening all and thanks for the thread, Reet.

Sounds like we've all been lucky with the weather for once.

(Except poor Sorcha in Ireland where they didn't have a holiday. I blame Brexit).

Our bank holiday is the 1st weekend in August you buffoon

Evening RK

Hello there Ian, Sorcha, Huck, dj, Jaded and all you lovely Dailians

Hi JW TYVM

Hello all. Good to be back. I am knackered from four days of drinking, eating rubbish food and walking round that there London on various pub crawls.

I enjoyed Thursday and Friday night's eps when I watched them this morning. They've gone down an interesting route with the Rakesh/Chrissie stuff and I found the scenes with the Dingles fearing that Belle may be dead to feature some excellent acting.

TFTT and the game RK.

I haven't spoken to my father yet but he'll no doubt be pleased with the rugby result!



Hmmm. I did find it odd that Chrissie's deal breaking sent Rakesh into a whirl of despair. Someone with his intelligence should have realised that all he needed to do was to threaten to spill the beans to the Sugden's and she would probably have caved anyway.

From Chrissie's point of view, Victoria's already struggling to accept the police version of events and Chrissie would know that Victoria would almost certainly accept any alternative explanation that was offered to her.

Bernice would also probably believe Rakesh's version rather than the police's so Chrissie's nightmare would be to see Victoria and Bernice convincing Adam, Robert, Diane , Doug et al that it was Lachlan who shot Lawrence and Chrissie that set Andy up.

Thank you for the thread RK and evening to all.

Evening all. I've had the lurgy, don't come too close!

Oh I hope you feel better wuffles

Hello my loyal and non voting fans

Well done RK

Welcome home Gulf

Hello All

I won't be apart of tonight's get together but wanted to say Hi and then politely leave.

Good night all (especially Dame Sorcha)

Hello again. To add to my previous post, the scene where Dan came home cock-a-hoop, managing to ignore a distraught Zak sitting two feet in front of him as he tried to party about his results was some pee-poor writing. I know he's supposed to be a bit clueless at times, but come on!

I wonder if it is the body of Belles imaginary friend

Stay on the thread LM.

upsetting oh how will we cope

Usual upsetting scenes alert.

Here we go

Did they mean to put a L instead of that D
