Since we’re heading close to the time that a new DDP thread is opened, can Spade potentially reveal what changes are going to happen during next year’s DDP?

Michael Flynn cut ties with Trump’s lawyer. I’m guessing he made a guilty plea like George Papadopoulos did...

He had a tear in his Achilles heel as I mentioned earlier in the thread...

Names to drop for next year from easiest to hardest, imo of course: Gay Byrne Sandy Gall Ian St John Bob Barker Desmond Tutu Honor Blackman Hosni Mubarak David Prowse Doug Ellis Right, so that seals the fate that one of them will keel over before the years end now...

Well, i should look next time.

Looking at a person currently who seems fucked and has a very small chance of getting a QO imo, but I have no idea of their age at all...

I'm sorry, who's Peter Falk again?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Basically one week remains before people start to battle for choosing the right pick to their team. Anyways, enjoy when the time comes. Or not...

I'm probably going to take little thought on this and come up with a team that will hopefully provide a decent score in the end by the end of break. Not expecting to win next time, of course...

Sorry for the very long wait. I'm currently on Thanksgiving break, so, why not make a brand new update. Our first hit from this long hit was Leo Baxendale. Aside from the one point everyone has on them, he also get the double benefit of both being unique in this pool and the DDP. With Gooseberry Crumble being the only person left who could get an additional point for guessing everyone in the correct order until they jumped back, GC gets a grand total of 8 points for his hit. That'll be the last time we'll see that bonus because Ian Brady was one slot above Baxendale. So what are people getting from Brady? Well, he gets one normal point and 3 drop 40 points, but he'll lose two points because he was imprisoned, so everyone who picked him will be getting 2 points, with RadGuy gaining an extra point for being on spot #4, making him joint 4th with msc at this time. Up next is another criminal that people hoped to be gone forever, Manuel Noriega. A unique for YoungWilz, he was also a world leader gaining him 2 more points, and with being in spot 18 with for a 25 member team, YoungWilz has 7, until we remember that imprisonment means 2 points gone. Still, 5 points is nothing to complain about at all. Now moving on to some people that we actually like, Peter Sallis will unsurprisingly give at least 4 points to a lot of people. Shout to RadGuy, msc and Rishcast for gaining an extra point for being on spot #35 (didn't expect 3 on the exact same spot). The title race between Death Impends and Captain Chorizo still hasn't changed at that point though... Now, lots of points will be getting points on behalf of Errol Christie, due to lots of joker's being given on him. For basics, he'll start with 5 points for those who chose him, the normal point, the 3 drop 40 points, and the point of being on DQSBP. Breaking down on how many points each individual gets, Sean will get 12 points for being on spot #4 and jokering him, RadGuy gets 6 for choosing him on spot 8 without jokering him, Chorizo gets 12 for being on spot #15 and jokering him, Pedro only gets 5 for not jokering him or having him on one of the bonus point spots, Msc gets 12 for being on spot 16 and jokering him, Unknown Man gets 12 for being on spot 10 and jokering him, Death Impends only get 10 for jokering him but not being on a spot that gives him an extra point to joker, Dead Cow gets 12 for jokering him and for being on spot #5, and RishCast gets 5 for neither jokering him or being on one of those lucky slots. The winners from Christie's death imo are Captain Chorizo and msc, Chorizo for breaking the joint 1st lock and being 2 points in the lead at this point, and msc for breaking the joint 3rd slot with RadGuy due to the fact that he didn't joker him... On that same day, Helen Fawkes turned out to be a unique for me (though I'm not one of the contenders at all). She will only be giving me four points, the normal point and the unique points on this dead pool. As expected, nothing changed on the contenders front with her demise... Now onto a world leader that more people like than Noriega, Helmut Kohl shall be giving people 3 points, one normal point, and 2 for being a world leader. No one got into one of the lucky spots, so everyone who picked him will be getting 3 points... Up next is Mao Kobayashi, who was both a Japanese journalist and actress. She is one of those hits where people will be getting only one point and nothing else unless they a. jokered them or b. got on one of the lucky spots. Only the Dead Cow got a lucky spot with her being on #2, so as expected, not much changed on the contender's front... A couple of people decided to plump for June Foray. She's also one of those who will get 1 point and nothing else unless one of those 2 conditions apply. Chorizo gets an extra point for being on spot number 32, which makes him extend his lead to 3 points ahead of Death Impends... That is until we account for the next hit (and a potentially decisive one), Ara Parseghian. Since he was a unique for Chorizo in this pool as well as a unique for the DDP, that means that Chorizo will gain 7 points for him, with a 10 point gap between Chorizo and Death Impends... Now for a hit more people expect to get, Glen Campbell. He will be getting 1 normal point and 3 drop 40 points for his share of the points. Unfortunately, research discovers that he had a 10 day stay in jail, and for that reason, I will be docking two points from him, making his worth only 2 points. Lots of people had him, but only msc (who had him at 15) and Bibliogryphon (who had him at 25) will be getting a third point for him. Still, that does give Death Impends a little ground for a comeback, cause Chorizo only had him as a sub... Up next is the legend known as Bruce Forsyth. Starting off with the basic point of one, he'll be getting another three for being on the drop 40. He will also be getting another batch for three points for one of the unrevealed bonuses, for Bruce as the first name. That makes him at a base of 7 points. RadGuy gets an 8th point for having him at spot #16, YoungWilz gets 8 for him being on spot #8, and Pedro also gets 8 for being on spot 20. No one gets anything for a pair though... Colin Meads was another one who starts with one point and a drop 40 package, but he also gets the one point for being part of DQSBP. The Unknown Man snags ten points for jokering him, but msc also gets an extra point for being on spot 30, and Death Impends gets another point for him being on spot 15, making him one point closer to CaptainChorizo... Our next hit is author JP Donleavy, who will start at 4 for a normal point and for being a unique in the DDP. Bibliogryphon will be receiving 10 points in the end due to his choice of jokering him at #2... Boxing legend Jake LaMotta is next on this very long update. Unfortunately, people are either losing a point or having their points the same since he went to prison for 6 months. The lucky winners for those who points remain the same are Pedro (who's on spot #30) and The Dead Cow (who's also on spot #30). Everyone else who had LaMotta lost a point... Now a two part soap opera double. Liz Dawn is one of those people who only gains one point. No one had her on a lucky spot, so therefor, everyone who picked her only gets one point... The other person who is worth more points is Tony Booth, who will be getting a normal point and 3 drop 40 points to begin with. RadGuy gets 10 for jokering him and having him on spot #2, Pedro also gets ten for jokering him and having him on spot #4, msc gets 5 for having him at #10, and Biblio also gets five for having him at 5... Hugh Hefner demise means a stiff point for anyone who picked him. RadGuy gets a second stiff point for having him at 20. Nothing else changes at this point... Gord Downie is another one who will receive 5 points to start, the basic point, the package of drop 40 points, and a DQSBP point. The following points will be awarded: Sean will recieve 12 for jokering him at #5, RadGuy receives ten for merely jokering him this time, Captain Chorizo will get ten for jokering him, Pedro will get 5 for just having him as well as msc, Unknown Man will receive 10 for jokering him, Death Impends will get 12 for jokering him and having him at spot #35, The Dead Cow will recieve 12 for having him at #1 and jokering him, and RishCast will get 6 for having him at spot #10... Daisy Berkowitz is the next person up in order to receive a basic point and nothing else. The only thing significant with him is that CaptainChorizo will be expanding his lead by one more point... Our last person for this update is legendary rock and roller Fats Domino. He's only worth one basic point, but Pedro gains another point for him being on spot #15, and Death Impends have him at #25, reducing the deficit between him and CaptainChorizo to 4 points... Here is the very long awaited new leaderboard! 1st - Captain Chorizo - 106 points 2nd - Death Impends - 102 points 3rd - RadGuy - 96 points 4th - msc - 93 points 5th - Dead Cow - 89 points 6th - Unknown Man - 81 points 7th - Pedro67 - 78 points 8th - Shaun of the Dead - 76 points 9th - Bibliogryphon - 74 points 10th - RishCast - 51 points 11th - YoungWilz - 37 points 12th - Gooseberry Crumble - 31 points 13th - joeyruss - 30 point 14th - Cat O'Falk - minus 1 point Let me know if I had missed someone up to the current DDP update (those who haven't been on an update won't have their scores updated yet). Well, it's been a long time coming now, ain't it...

Lets hope the tradition of someone not reading the rules and turning their list in after the deadline doesn't continue this year...

With the amount of school work I have to do everyday, I wish.

Apparently she was diagnosed with lung cancer back in October of 2014. I’m genuinely confused right now.

I disagree with you Sir Creep. I think that it would make it more confusing tbh. Let’s say I was randomly looking through the leaderboard and stumbled across Day In The Death. I look at that team but noticed a strike through on the joker, but he didn’t obit. Then I would be very confused on why someone who got a strike through wasn’t on the list of people who scored. That’s why I think it’s confusing...

I never doubted his obit, he just didn’t seem deathlisty at all...

I’m probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but can I be the first to say that I never heard of him before I came to this site...

Doesn’t make it any less unacceptable though...

So I just read multiple articles on Trump in which he defends Roy Moore, who is a sexual predator to young children and is running for the senate. So he’s basically saying that being a democrat is worse than being a child molester. I’m not trying to get the liberal vs conservative ball rolling, but I can tell you that being a democrat is definitely better than being a child molester, unless of course the democrat is a child molester, then they’re still terrible. Being a conservative that isn’t a child molester is also better than being being a conservative who is a child molester. So where am I going with this? Well, a senator who is a democrat, Al Franken, has also been accused of sexual assault as well, and Trump is calling for him to be removed from office. So hold on a second, your calling for a liberal who committed sexual assault to be removed from office, but the conservative who is running for office who has been accused of sexual assault you’re defending? I don’t care whether you’re conservative or liberal, everyone should agree that this bias merely due to political party preference on a criminal offense is completely unacceptable! I do not support either of these men for their crimes, and what I personally believe is that neither of these men should have a seat in the senate because they have committed a criminal offense I honestly consider worse than murder. This choice of preference due to politics is absolutely bullshit! I am ashamed for my country right now for what he did today, and I sincerely hope our next president will at least have the moral competence to recognizing crimes for everyone who committed them and not just their opposing party...

I already have a musician that I suspect will follow the path of Wetton next year, but I’m not sure if I will pick them next year...

Rep confirms the rumors of being near death as false...

She doesn’t seem deathlisty at all...

Are you that pissed of your decision to leave office?

John Wetton was scheduled to perform at a prog rock festival in March...
