Also, shout-out to 5th place drol, who was tied with DI for hits (15/20). Good luck next year everyone! This is Rad, signing off as your host, and from now on a fellow competitor...

This is perhaps your observation, I'd suggest it is subjective. How does one define 'biggest'? We get a lot of this biggest, most important, most popular, most well known etc...speculation on these boards. It has already been pointed out that some people didn't even know who this guy was, you can include me in that list too and I'm quite fond of electronica and mixes. Thus to say he is the biggest (etc etc superlative of your choice....) in the 24 entire years since Kurt Cobain is quite some statement... More <superlative> than Prince? Bowie? Michael Jackson? Lemmy? and probably a host of others I can't recall right now? NFM. Why does there have to be a competition for biggest and most important anyway? He was an important artist to some and utterly unknown to others. I submit that under those terms you can't even say 'biggest' objectively.

Well, that would be the first time I would have a podium place.....

No wonder he died, that cunt Prost nicked his crash helmet!

I am only going to go so far as to say there is a reason I haven't had a drink in 26 years. Which, yes, is half my life.

Pointless had a final round where one of the categories was the cast. Needless to say, after doing the list so recently, I walked a couple of pointless answers. I should go on the show...

@Heef, commiserations on a hard fought match. You had a great team and I was worried you'd get a last minute equaliser, such was the strength and depth within your squad. It was a privilege and honour to do battle with you. @deadsox, so we meet again! Good luck, fellow veteran of many, many deadpool campaigns. @msc, thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this excellent competition.

I'm very happy to have gotten past YW. Thanks for your sportsmanship Youngster! Best of luck DDT in our semi-finals rematch.

To be fair, he didn't really have to be a good fighter, his missus, Marlene, would have taken out Ali, Foreman and Frazier all in one go. As somebody said, back in the day, '....you could crack bricks on her face.

Okay gang - we're up and running - competition starts in a month Feel free to start a form guide somebody!

And those Rules in Full: 1 - The object of the MMMDP is to WIN. 2 - To enter the MMMDP a contestant must have: A candidate not selected by another other entrant. A “candidate” in this context means a living person aged 18 or over who remains alive at midnight on May 31st and is considered likely to cease living soon after and also be capable of gaining a qualifying obit – see rule 9 below – upon death. The only exception to this rule are persons residing on death row with an execution falling within June 2018 (feel free to risk a death rower due to take the final walk from 1 July). 3 - Entries open at 9-00am BST on 31st May and close at midnight on 31 May. Entry can only be made by posting the name of a candidate on the MMMDP thread on the Deathlist. 4 – The competition is deemed to be open at 00-01 BST hrs on 1 June 2018. 5 – Competition ceases on the death of the first nominated pick on the list of candidates and the winner is the dead pooler who has selected said candidate. 6 – Entry is limited to 21 players (twenty who are obliged to post entries on the MMMDP thread and Maryport who reserves a right of entry as the master of ceremonies for this endeavour). Presumably the artistic intent is obvious but in case you missed it the idea is to get 21 players to compete for a death within 21 days thereby giving us a victory by midsummer’s day at the latest. If you’re snoozin’ you’re losing. 6a – Because he has forced his own entry Maryport guarantees to respect the first 20 qualifying picks and only enter a candidate unselected by the others. Thereby ensuring the really hot selections go to others. 7 - In the event that two players select the same candidate the allocation of the pick will go to the player who first posted an entry for that candidate – even if the entry times are within the same minute. 8 – In the event that two players tie for victory on the basis of picks expiring on the same day all efforts will be made to ascertain a winner on the basis of the actual time of death. For these purposes local time of death will be translated to GMT if required. 9 - An "obit" in the context of the MMMDP is any news report in English from a reliable source. Such sources include - but are not limited to - UK national press, UK national broadcast organisations, foreign press and broadcast organisations with an English language thread to their communication, trade press in English, local news organisations reporting in English and coverage in specialist online sites, such as those monitoring the well-being of super-centenarians. Where dispute arises over the qualifying nature of a news source for obit purposes MPFC's decision is final. But he wants fast and furious competition and is generally very amenable to low hanging dead pool fruit of all varieties. 10 – The Raymond Hewlett Memorial Award applies to the MMMDP. In honour of everybody's favourite Maddie-implicated paedo scum a candidate widely believed to be alive when the winner is declared and subsequently proven to have died previously will be awarded victory in the event that a MMMDP qualifying obit subsequently appears for said candidate. In the event that a MMMDP qualifying obit for the candidate is subsequently proven to have existed prior to commencement of the MMMDP all points will be voided. RHME points are only available during competition and in the event that a winner has been declared before discovery of a qualifyiing RHME candidate no revision of the final result will occur. Similarly, if some lucky candidate is awarded RHME victory and this victory – once declared – is proven to be spurious by late discovery of a qualifying obit; the lucky winner will be allowed to keep his/her lucky win. 10a – To ensure smooth operation of rule 10 the period for discovery of result altering obits is deemed to be 48 hours plus the remainder of the calendar day in which victory is first claimed. In other words two days and a part of another day. 11 - If an obited death occurs during play of the MMMDP and is missed despite MPFC's best efforts to stay in touch and/or the spirited efforts of MMMDP participants and said death is missed in totting up points, after which a winner is declared, then this death will not count for competition purposes. The same is true in the case of a known death gathering a late obit and therefore allowing some other competitor to be declared a winner. All disputes relating to rule 11 will be resolved by the astute judgement of MPFC and there is no appeals procedure (though all sides of opinion are warmly invited to liven up the MMMDP thread by venting their fury). 12 - In the event that Deathlist editing options or other online trickery is discovered to have been employed in the editing of entries, those duly fingered for such cheating will be removed from the MMMDP and banned for life from subsequent entry into MMMDPs. 13 – In the unlikely event that a pick selected on 31 May fails to mark the start line the entrant selecting said pick will still be deemed to have entered the competition and will have until midnight 1 June to select a new pick (unselected by other entrants). Should the entrant fail to do so no other entrant will be allowed in as a replacement. 14 - A prize will be awarded as follows: i: Should the winner agree to attend a DLCon with MPFC a double measure of alcoholic drinks (pints, wine or spirits) will be supplied by MPFC along with much hearty congratulations and back-slapping. ii: A carefully chosen and appropriate prize will be posted to the winner (such as the DVD copy of the original Death Race movie supplied to the 2009 Deathrace). iii: MPFC will make a charitable donation to a cause of the winner's choice (as has been the case with six of the seven existing winnings of the Deathrace). This course of action is highly encouraged and is known to show dead poolers as something other than the sicko scum many ranters believe us to be. AND FINALLY... On completion of MMMDP activities the thread will get lively for a short while as losing contestants and spectactors offer well-deserved congratulations to the skilful and highly talented new champion, after which time it is expected that the cooling corpse of the thread will be allowed to gently sink into oblivion.

I think it's because, as we said, musicians tend not to die while they're still selling records. Even those who died go under 35 in the past 10/20 years were slightly past their commercial prime (Lisa Lopes, Amy Winehouse). Actually, it's Aaliyah who was the last person with a career and a future to die, thinking about it.

Iso Nakamura, world's '5th oldest living person', is apparently dead. The reason I'm not saying she "has died" is because she seems to have been dead since November 23rd, yet somehow nobody outside her area noticed for 158 days. She's been mentioned here before; if you were thinking of picking her in the future then too bad, she didn't even make the 2018 starting line. It goes without saying she didn't celebrate her 115th birthday, and she was only the 71st oldest ever rather than 45th, and she was the 8th oldest living rather than 5th oldest living. Major cock-up on behalf of the the people supposed to announce her death. Her local death notice in Japanese:

Wilson is fine

Boudicca I don't know why you are shocked to see activity in Chirac's Couple, it's where sophisticated talk of culture begins. Then an hour later it's potty humour and other sordid discussions no other thread should tolerate. SC

Oh HELL yes. Here here!

Looking at 4 incredible lineups there. Dead Cow gotta hand it to you, it's going to be a whale of a match, best of luck mate. Already 10-v-10 with Bishop Quinn retiring to the broadcast booth. SC

Cheers, it was a valiant run from the deadpooler who picks the living. It would have been closer if I'd gone with my sub, but it the end, it wasn't a goalless effort from me either. Go on and win it deadsox.

What's so remarkable about this local painter?

The mojo of Muddy Waters stopped working on this day 35 years ago, aged 70.

Quite

17 today.

Took a pill in Oman, to show Avicii I was cool. Gotta be one of the biggest "at their chart peak" deaths of all time really, up there with Jim Reeves and 2Pac.
