Hi JW TYVM. Delightful D's tonight

Hello there all you lovely Dailians

Evening Dailians and thanks for the great thread, Jackeh. xx

Good evening Daleians...thanks for t' thread JW

Oh no....you're here...you are the Pandora of baked bean jokes!


Luv Ya!

Thanks for the thread Jack


Starting to feel quite chilly now during my cycle ride to and from work....


Hi all!

Dailians!


November is here and time is running out if you’re to thinking about submitting a team for this month’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 November’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

The deadline for teams to be submitted is tonight: 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.

Went for me Halloween walk last night....classic misty and atmospheric but very mild, bloody chiily tonight though!

I thought a brisk ride would warm you up

Evening all and SULLA. Thanks JackW.

The Squire likes a brisk rtide

I think he likes a gallop. He hasn't much choice with the Surly Serf in any case.

Ed!!! I missed you so much last night - did you see Rishi turning up at the party dressed as a blue M&M. We finally had a legitimate excuse for shouting 'YOU get in the bowl!' I did but it wasn't the same without you.
Jackie thought of you then too.

A Gallop...
Filth! Too early in the evening! Surprised at you!

Eh?? Give over, you went trick or treating and scaring half the neighbourhood to death didn't you?

Evening all, thanks for t'thread Jack.

To a degree. The upper body warms up but other areas are more susceptible to the wind chill factor!

You have NO IDEA how I felt this morning...I caught up!
There was NO bowl Rishi would not get in too..
That episode was total Rishi/bowl....

Good evening, all.

Cheers for the thread, JackW

Eh? Yeah.....Baked bean lollies anyone....you know oyou want 'em! lol

Poor Rishi has really upset new Producer it seems.


Oooh, go on then - I have no pride left when it comes to baked bean-related comestibles.

Salve Sorcha and you Jewelius and all you Emmerplebs.
