I've worked out DJL's real life job. He's an editor!

Kane Tanaka is 116 today!

OK, after a few hours work, the masterlists of picks and teams have been posted! Be sure to double check your teams in case I missed anything. And with the teams all in and the masterlists taken care of, I can now post the first scoreboard with the previously-promised consolation points for Overton, Loinger, Ricketts, and Lusk: 1. Prophet 1.58 2. YorkshireBanker 1.12 3. markb4 1.05 =4. drol 0.5 =4. Phantom of the Midway 0.5 =4. the_engineer 0.5 =7. Everyone else 0 Given the increased participation rate, I will likely post a new scoreboard for every few hits rather than each hit.

Yeah it will be a big miss for the committee

I've voted charon (you know it makes sense) because he told me to. But I'd have voted for LFN, you, and Sir C if I could be bothered to log in on my other accounts. Fuck knows why my name is up there. I'm not wanting to be the Theresa May fall gal should a shitshow happen. Fuck that.

I HATE to play a whole year and end it in a tie! One tiebreaking criteria I use in another pool is that the player to reach the high score first, breaks the tie. In this case GCreptile would hang onto the trophy, and Cap Cho would have needed one more point to take it away. However, I have been through all 19 pages of this thread and cannot find that I ever proposed the rule for this pool. So, I think I would like to take Sir Creep's idea and try to break the tie ASAP with a playoff. Both teams please submit a 10 name list via PM to me ASAP, which I will then post to the thread. It will be a sudden death playoff, ther first one to get any hit with a QO will win. If the hit occurs on both lists, the one who had the name nearer the top will win. We will crown a winner yet! I will start a new thread within a few days for the 2019 version of this pool, so check back if you are interested in trying again. It will be a little less complicated.

Final tally, assuming no teams have fell behind the sofa: 514 teams (393 returning, 121 new) 955 new celebs to add to the system. Gonna be a long week....

It's not that simple. First, you need to obtain a 'Deathlist Doctorate'. This is an intensive course partaken over 5 years, which involves plenty of tasks, starting at the bottom with accurately estimating the prognosis of 3 cancer sufferers, via successfully making Peter Falk jokes and lambasting the official DL for not picking someone who, mid-year, very suddenly fell ill and died, working your way up to the dizzying heights of reviewing lists as if you are in possession of a crystal ball. Once obtained, this doctorate will be delivered via carrier pigeon to your home address. It normally manifests as a gold medal. As soon as you receive it, give it a name, charter a popemobile style vehicle, and parade it around your home town until you're arrested. On being released on bail, you must wear this medal and pay a visit to a shamanic settlement. Leah Bracknell will greet you with a spliff and a glass of kale champagne. She'll teach you yoga, followed by meditation. Once you have mastered her meditation course, she will light a giant joint and softly give you blowback, until you have an epiphany. You will wake up from a transient state back in your bed. The next 72 hours are crucial. You must sprint to your letterbox and await delivery of a silvery scroll, embossed with a letterhead with the Deathlist.net logo. Do not let this sit in your postbox or on your floor for any more than 10 seconds, or it will evaporate and you will need to go back to stage 1. On reception of this magical parchment, pray to the great Lord and Saviour, Sir Kirk of Douglas, with your Deathlist Doctorate medal in your hand. Wrap it in lambswool, and have it delivered by camel to the Himalayas to be blessed by a Tibetan monk. He will WhatsApp you a voice note of said blessing, and lo and behold, a special quill will appear. This quill is very fragile. With extreme care, and with no mistakes or corrections, you must write out your list of 50 names to perish in the forthcoming year. Do it carefully, else the quill will lose confidence in you and will write itself out, before poking you in the eye. You have just 5 minutes to write this list, before the Deathlist gods visit you, ask you to link up to a scanner, scan this parchment and upload it to the cloud. Once you have successfully scanned your parchment in, and on the first correct use of a upon a forum newbie, your list will appear in your signature, and the Deathlist Gods will wish you the best of luck, whilst tickling your chin with the parchment you wrote with. Only then can you say you've made it as a Deathlister.

Leave me out of it. Fuck being an admin, a hiding to nothing!

Not the word I'd have chosen.

Can confirm Trent is the first DDP hit of 2019.

Olivia Newton-John's currently the top trend on Twitter in Australia. The reports are very conflicting with some news saying she has "weeks rather than months to live", "clinging to life" and others saying she's "A-OK". I personally am not sure what I believe (though am hitting F5 frantically), but either way, she will have left a great legacy with the Olivia Newton-John Wellness Centre & Research Centre in Melbourne, not to mention all her music and films.

Here are my three teams in the DDP 2019 .Three crumbles which I hope have been baked well enough to improve my standing!

Because his performance levels had dipped, thus, the death list manager had to make the necessary tactical changes.
