Dailians!


2017 is here and time is running out if you’re thinking about submitting a team for January’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 January’s ‘Daily Challenge is as follows:-

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

Evening all.

As Yazz might say: "The Only Way Is Up"......

In my case I highly doubt that!

Welll, you were Top 5 in the December Corrie Game so there's no reason to think you can't pick a decent Emmerdale squad....

Evening RK

Hello there Rick and all you lovely Dailians

Hi JW

Evening All

Thanks for the thread RK

Congrats to Lotty and well done Alley and t'girls in t'challenge.

Evening all and greeting to Jack and SULLA.

I'm not stopping tonight but wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone.

BTW do you think that Cain will say something about those sisters drowning in that London last night - I think he should.


Don't worry Rick, Chrisdebag will soon recall his rightful place bringing up the rear of that competition. I honestly don't know why he bothers....

Evening all. TFTT RK, and the game.

My team for January, known as 'No Chance'

Cain (captain)
Moira
Emma
Pete
Leyla
Chastity
Charity
Ross
Rebecca
Chrissie
Robert

And whilst I appreciate the 'congratulations' for my move up the table, when it's for one place and only into second bottom, it does smack slightly of taking the mickey!

Happy New Year!

Yes you're re right, all of the soaps should ' reference' that event. It's s of huge cultural significanceI' m sure there will be a scene in the shop where someone else points out the newspaper headlights e to a group of stunned listeners ( sorry EE fans, just playing with you)

Evenin' all, thankee for t' thread RK

Charity's s losing her touch. A fire in a caravan - is that the best she can do?

Evening all and Happy New year to the Dailians I didn't see yesterday.

Thanks for the thread, Reet and very well done to Lotteh and Alley's Team Girls in the Challenge. A good year for the Girls, which is as it should be of course.


PS Dear mods, please get rid of the Xmas smilies - they're getting on my nerves now.

But he came 6th!


How do you think I feel one below you

They' ll be here forEVER gift::

Evening all and TFTT.

Thank you for the thread RK and evening to all.

A fluke my friend - Chris barely knows what day of the week it is at the best of times.

*waves to Chris....

Evening all.

Greetings Rk; and other earthlings

Bank Holiday shenanigans!!

Here we go

I'm surprised we didn't get a warning there.

State of that caravan.
