Dailians!

Hope you’ve all had a good weekend.


Happy Hallowe'en!

Last week’s Poll result

Thanks to everyone who voted in the last week’s poll.

That episode focussed on the aftermath of Event Week and saw Ross finding out that James was dead, Cain suspected of being involved in James’ death and Chrissie planning Rebecca’s birthday with Lawrence.

So, Event Week encouraged 92 people to vote in the poll for the 17 October episode, which is a massive increase from the usual number. Last Monday’s poll saw 44 people rate the episode which is still around double the usual number of people that vote.

It scored 7.68 which is an increase of 1.28 from the previous week and is the highest score of 2016 so far.

Dailians!


It’s the last day of October and time is running out if you’re to thinking about submitting a team for November ‘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 Novenber’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:-

and

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



The deadline for teams to be submitted is tomorrow: Tuesday 01 November 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 OsakaSun and chrisdebag for Captaining the teams in October.


For November the Team Captains will be:- lotty27 and Justonecornetto


Remember, the Team Captains are both able to nominate one more character who will have their points doubled and added to the overall team score. This character can be anyone on the Starting List and does not have to be the character that the Team Captain has picked as Captain for their individual team.

I have sent my team for November RK and well done on the thread

Happy halloween my scary friends

Hi Chris. I've only had one group of trick o' treaters so far. They'd better all have come and gone by 7pm.

Evening Dailians and thanks for the thread, Reet.

They better not come near me as all I'll have to give them is Benson and hedges

Thanks for the thread RK
Happy Halloween all

Noone ever comes here

i think it is the large sign saying I will kill anyone who knocks that does the trick

Is there also a silhouette of a large knife dripping blood

Evening all. My November team (deathtoMaurel):

Evening RK

Hello there all you lovely Dailians

Hi JW TYVM

I won't be joining in tonight. A friend will be arriving shortly

A friend

Thank you for the thread RK and evening to all.

Yes - she just phoned to check Mr B had room for her to park her broomstick.

Greetings Rk ; and other earthlings.


No trick or treaters for us; it's the remote-controlled doorbell, and the 11ft high driveway gates that does it

I had a friend once 1992 it was

A restored model; it only required a new handle and a new head in order to " take to the air" once again 👻👻👻

Good evening, all.

Cheers for the thread, RK

Evening all, thanks for t'thread RK.

My "Oldnjaded lives here" sign is up outside, so no kids will be bothering me tonight.

You cheeky mare!! I've doled out expensive top quality choccy to 9 brats already. Have you?

I put a picture of Debbie outside mine. I heard screaming earlier so it worked

As if. They've been given last year's pot pourri.

Evening all Cheers for t'thread RK

No trick or treaters here so far but I've got plenty of fruit if any do call. Meanwhile I'm going to enjoy the choccies and sweets I bought earlier while watching ED
