Do you consider yourself a champion Deathlister who can do better than the DeathList Committee? Here are the rules & guidelines: Have a list of 50 celebrities chosen by yourself, for their likelihood to die in 2024. Include up to five subs. Submit your list as neatly as possible. A numbered list of correctly spelled names would be great. Extra details would only be needed if there's another celebrity with that name. Try not to include funny formatting as it makes pasting it more painful. Candidates must be famous enough that their death is confidently expected to be reported by any countries media I will usually provide a judgement call or ask for some opinions in the forum. We won't challenge names until after their death. Candidates cannot be famous solely for the fact they are likely to die imminently - this includes people famous only for their advanced age. Names on the scoreboard will only count AFTER you submit your list. If you submitted your list on the main Shadow Lists Forum or another similar forum late this may be taken into consideration. Late submissions and private messages to me are also considered Play, participate, and comment in good faith Don't be a dick Being reminded more than once of a rule may result in being sent to Siberia There's no deadline on submitting a list, posting your list here is preferred. No late submissions should be using information from 2024 that wasn't available to those who submitted their list in 2023 (good faith). Private messages: Private message lists will be publicly posted on or after the 1st of January for transparency. If you send it through direct message, I and others running this pool may open and see your list before the 1st of January - this isn't to steal or borrow ideas, but to paste your list onto my own masterlist of entries. If this bothers you, then just delay sending it until the 1st of January, or just post your own list onto this forum publicly on the 1st of Jan. Things to keep in mind about any person you choose: Are they likely to obit in a major newspaper? Are they a well known celebrity? Do they have a Wikipedia page in any language (that clearly wasn't made just for Deathlisting) You will not be asked to prove any of these when you post your list, but upon your candidates death you may need to meet some of these criteria. Scoring System: One death = One Point All lists, comments, and discussions should be made in good faith, I will try and act in good faith as well. Please feel free to announce deaths, especially obscure ones! I pick up names of everyone who dies in the Derby Dead Pool through Who's Dead So Far so if they're already on there your message may be redundant I make mistakes and am human, but will keep a log of everything as I score it through commenting and on the first page. Please feel comfortable to point out any mistakes I make along the way dimreaper has offered to help and I will be looking for ways to include him in my process, meaning there may be a second set of eyes. Any more interest in helping out (especially to those who think they could help with finding out about deaths, allocating points and updating the scoreboard) definitely welcome, just send me a message. I struggled for allocating time last year and might next year too and appreciated the hand-up to help (I travel and work a lot) The masterlist and scoreboard is available and should be here on this page, below. Happy DeathListing

The identities of more than 170 of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates are due to be revealed in the coming weeks after a New York judge ordered a trove of secret documents be unsealed. Sadly, the order doesn't take effect until January 1st so there goes a great theme team. Mysterious suicide could be a popular cause of death in 2024.

Twitter reporting the death of TV contraption maker Wilf Lunn A Unique DDP hit for my Unusual Suspects team

A few more future miracle recoverers: Malaysian actor Isma Aliff in critical condition, induced coma following heart & lung infection and stroke. Indian actress Hema Chaudhary critical and unstable following stroke. In addition Pakistan's most notable Ayatollah Bashir al-Najafi, one of the Four Najaf Grand Ayatollahs (all 3 living have been very ill for ages) was in ICU last week with heart problems but has been discharged. Quite frail however. Alexander Mitta now unable to talk, needs 24/7 care and they've revealed he's suffering from advanced kidney cancer. Doesn't sound too serious.

If the DDP are looking in the judge should be banned from entering a theme team

Seriously, you and me both Overweight and has his clothing cut to hide the fact, 77, prone to rages anyway and under severe stress from all sides, legal, political and personal and also fond of burgers and cokes. Heart attack/stroke on a plate, frankly.

I disabled guest access as a temporary emergency measure. Alas I believe the server itself is entirely a Grim Reaper matter. Will look into it further.

Rules: 1. Make a list with 15 names of centenarians or people who could reach 100th in 2024 (example: Eva Marie Saint, Khamtai Siphandone). Only will be hits the centenarians deaths. 2. Please pick people you know are still alive, avoid limbo cases, in case your pick is already dead even same day picked, you will need sub it. 3. Any member can join when wants, if the member is banned, the hits could continue counting but that member don´t win at the end. 4. If your pick doesn´t work, change it, including those who don´t make the 100th birthday. 5. For supercentenarians names they will need some articles to be acceptable. I will research those names and ask for a change in case of need it. 6. Any obit posted in the forum will do you get a hit, no need posting everywhere. The obit can be in any language always can translate in English. Some cases will be allowed family posts in social media. 7. Game starts in January 1st 2024 and ends in December 31st 2024. 8. The winner will be who get more hits or who get the 15 hits. If 2 or more get the same amount at the end of game the winner will be who get more unique hits or less popular picks. Good Luck Everyone!!!

John Wade, American rower who competed at the 1948 games has died aged 95. https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/40919

Pete Lucas erstwhile member of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick & Tich, and also former Trogg, reported dead on his 73rd birthday.

OOOhhh, more bad news - the docs due to be unlocked on 1 Jan feature the allegations of another Epstein victim who's already accused Andrew of groping her and who hasn't had a multi-million pound bung to keep quiet in perpetuity. Timely announcement, mind, if he's angling to walk to church with the family from Sandringham this year, they might be waving The Sun in his face this morning and suggesting he has Christmas Dinner at Pizza Express in Woking, or summat.

Gunther Emmerlich, German opera singer and show presenter in the German Democratic Republic and after, has died at 79. The reason and exact date are unknown yet. https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/dresden/dresden-radebeul/gunther-emmerlich-gestorben-102.html Edit: Aha, it was heart failure yesterday. https://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2023-12/gunther-emmerlich-tod-saenger-musiker-entertainer

We're finished. Jealousy should have stayed over Lazy River, otherwise I'll take that.

Yesteryear DDP pick of mine, actor and competetive arm wrestler Levi Holley has died of brain cancer: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/nz-actor-and-arm-wrestler-levi-holley-who-sold-his-belongings-to-pay-for-brain-cancer-treatment-has-died/OTHZ6LIPPRAI3CL2SKASA24M3I/ Was a pick for my C-team back then.

What's the betting Bill Clinton's on it

Just did a quick search to see how quickly it would turn up and to my surprise found that our friend @Deathrow66 seems to have posted the exact same statements elsewhere.

Colorado Supreme Court declares him ineligible for US Presidency under the constitution’s insurrection clause.

My primary association with this guy is still this clip:

Howard Stern, and Rhea Perlman.

Please be respectful to Jimmy Carter and Juan Vicente Pérez Mora. Do not turn how long they will live into a "contest"

This is why the Kill or Save games are so brilliant; it reminds you of the existence of some absolute fucking bangers like this*: *It’s not everyone’s +4, though.
