You're making them too easy, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew . I'll stay out of this one to give others a chance.

I did wonder...

You can go off people.... just sayin' 🙄

Pretty sure @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew just gave out his Netflix password.

Alas, Goffy, I am Netflix-, and all other commercial streaming services-free.

How else could I have the time I spend on here?

Moi? 🥺

Trying with this one too...

As Demonstone suggests.... it's obvious..

But maybe others might like a clue...

As I haven't one.... it's up to you

Maybe it's just me, but I think I understand the clue...but it hasn't helped me solve it, too.

I'm afraid there's no clue in my correspondence with @beelzebub, LD-vC. Not from me, anyway. I noticed his poesy and framed my hope for a PM accordingly, to check whether he did know the answer, as his 2nd line suggested.

However, for everyone, there is a clue in the OP.

And I'll give you all another. You needn't look beyond that squad. Everything's there.

We need a "Thanks, but no thanks" emoji.

I'll accept them all, graciously...

Edited October 29Oct 29 by Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

I feel it only fair to share my responses to some PM'd direct questions (NOT to be taken as precedent, though - e.g. 'What's the answer?' might be a stretch)

Is it alphabetical related? Well, splitting grammatical hairs, 2/3 of that.

Is in-depth player knowledge required? No.

AI has no idea - everyone knows the melting face emoji 🫠 is what one sends in response to being sent nude pics, pleasant ones anyways.

Or so a friend told me.

No, it was this one…

🤔

The 'The <Insert random draft prospect name> Thread' threads* are swamping the board!

Thought I'd do a bump just in case anyone's still interested.

From the earlier clues:

• The answer is alphabet (2/3 of 'alphabetical'!)

• The answer lies entirely within the squad as listed

• Think about what the second 'there' in the OP is referring to.

Off you go!

(*Does anyone else find it slightly depressing that they're all generic 180-something cm?)

Max Gawn is 180-something cm?

All my life I’ve been lied to 😩

Sorry; I meant all those draft prospects in the threads, not my squad!!

And, in my post, by the way, I meant 'alphabet-related' not just 'alphabet'!

Edited October 30Oct 30 by Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

@beelzebub has gone that final step beyond 'contention' to achieve this:

🏆

Well done, sir!

@Demonstone recused himself (though still no PM to confirm he really had got it). I do acknowledge him now, at this pointy end, as quiz Patron.

Well, this fizzled somewhat, didn't it! Let that not tarnish @beelzebub's gold, nor @Demonstone's patronage, nor @Ghostwriter's unfruitful doggedness, nor @Little Goffy's or @La Dee-vina Comedia's willingness to dabble (nor that of any other silent wonderers should there have been any...)
