Won’t be Karunanidhi, that’s for sure...

Mail obit.

I think Spade made a good point in the DDP thread on why they had to be dropped tbh...

Alright, I'll try it. It's probably my only chance to create a dead pool team for the next four months anyways...

Good luck with that obit Sir Creep...

Steve Gleason is expecting another child, so it might not be a good idea to put him on your shortlist yet.

FTFY.

Find it kind of strange that no one went for him in the DDP this year despite the fact that his obit chances are unlikely. Definitely a fascinating character though. RIP

Did Irish poet Matthew Sweeney trouble your long list with his ALS diagnosis? Too bad, he’s dead at 66.

I’m going to lose the most subs on my team again this year, aren’t I?

Congrats to everyone who picked Charlotte Rae in this, even if she’s only worth 2 points...

R is for Rae, a hit for Torva, Clorox, Unknown Man, and Fixed Business.

We’re now 2 ahead of the deathlist, and hopefully we will finish ahead of them, again.

Dodged another one with Charlotte Rae...

With Charlotte Rae dead, that’s my time in the lead gone. Frankly I’m amazed that I’ve lasted as long at the top as I did tbh, I’ve felt for a while that I’ve lacked good remaining differentials to keep the lead by the end of 2018. Oh well, I’m pleased that it lasted as long as it did...

Actually, the total should be 48 since Michael Lapage needs to be removed now he got his QO. But yeah, there are definitely multiple names there that probably should’ve gotten QO for sure.

I’ve just checked. 32 by this date in 2017 vs a whopping 49 lost entrants this year so far. Definitely more lost picks this year than last.

It’s also worth noting that the amount of competitive hits overall this year was lower than last year was. I guess 2016’s hit records won’t be broken for a while...

Let’s be honest, he’s the biggest drama queen this year, even bigger than Vervoort was.

Oh well. He probably wasn’t going to get an obit good enough for this anyways...

Ooh, and it looks like that his death could’ve been known about last month...

Renowned fiddler Tommy Peoples dead at 70.

One of the murder suspects has committed suicide.

Er, so it’s basically a rehash of the Inverse Pool except you submit monthly instead of having a list for the full year, right? And people get removed monthly too. Also, really am not a fan of asking for likes in order to see who likes the game idea. A reply to the thread can easily do the same trick in seeing how much support you have for a pool idea.

In poor health or is he just trying to get some sympathy points?
