With a little under 3 days to select your candidates, you can ask questions about the game. All will be answered, apart from can I select my candidate before hand questions, in which the answer is no.

But I previously wrote it!!!! I wrote it because there is no dead tag yet.

Is Castro dead yet?

It'd be a double whammy; he's one of three remaining breathers on my HPDP Who are the other two? Glen Campbell and Zsa Zsa I don't think you'll ever see your list without breathers.He can dream though. And besides, Castro proved to not be immortal, so Zsa Zsa might not be immortal as well.

Can I have my tag changed to something else? If not, can you at least tell me no instead of leaving me in ambiguity?

IgnorantDon't call people ignorant considering you are one yourself a lot of the time. You won't see it though...

There you go

Thank you, although my title will still probably be I wish I wasn't such a dick. I achieved twunt status at heart though

Melting my eyes with his thongs...

Death Slam Form Guide #41: Chuck Berry This legendary rock and roller has reached his 90th birthday. While he doesn't have any major health concerns at the moment, 2016 has proven it is a killer, taking away legends such as Bowie, Ali, and Castro. Will the rock and roll music quit playing for him before Christmas Day? Only Johnny B Goode knows.

It'd be a double whammy; he's one of three remaining breathers on my HPDP Who are the other two?I bet Glen Campbell I have forgotten who that is.Was he the guy who played Columbo?Nah. That's Gene Wilder. I think Glen Campbell was in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Well if that's true, then Stan Lee should be dying soon because Peter Falk is dead: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-13458172

Think he'll last as long as Glen Campbell?

It'd be a double whammy; he's one of three remaining breathers on my HPDP Who are the other two?I bet Glen Campbell

You do know that when you keep saying that you'll jinx him eventually Who?Stan Lee

That is a pretty sound analysis. Can't fault you for any of those picks at all. Question is, if that's your 25 from the 2016 list, who would you choose as your other 25? This is much harder then the 25 to from 2016, but, as it has been requested, here we go.1. Leah Bracknell 2. Robert Mugabe 3. Val Kilmer 4. King Michael of Romania 5. Helmut Kohl 6. Sidney Poitier 7. John Wetton 8. Ian Brady 9. Sumner Redstone 10. Former Pope Benedict 11. Ian St. John 12. Queen Elizabeth 13. Colin Meads 14. Sean Connery 15. Tony Booth 16. Mel Brooks 17. David Attenborough 18. Valerie Harper 19. Nicholas Parsons 20. Doris Day 21. Pierre Cardin 22. Chuck Berry 23. Norman Lloyd 24. Donald Trump 25. Ozzy Osbourne I kept the terminally ill picks to that I can guarantee will get BBC obits, and I selected everyone else by how interesting they are and how big of a miss they are.

You don't seriously think Justin Bieber is serious Deathlist material, do you? I don't. I just wanted to diss Justin Beiber

Anyone had Castro before he decided to cark it.

Decided to update my thoughts on the remaining candidates, and then choose my 25 if I was a member of the comittee Zsa Zsa Gabor: She'll make it to 100, but I think 2017 might finally be her year Olivia De Haviland: No way. I could easily see her as the next Zhou Yougang (age wise of course). She'll get picked anyways Billy Graham: He can be tricky, but he might die in 2017 Herman Wouk: Centenarians are tricky to tell. He doesn't have any health concerns as far as I could tell Javier Perez De Cuellar: I hate this pick. I'd like him off, but nevertheless, he'll get picked every year despite no health updates what so ever. Richard Adams: I see 2 or 3 years left in him, but he isn't a bad pick. Kirk Douglas: If I trust my instincts, he will go either in late December 2016 or early January 2017. My instincts were correct on Castro when I got my genereation game team after all. Liz Smith: Isn't going anytime soon. Mary Tyler Moore: I know many will disagree, but I feel she was only put on there to please forum users. If she was really that ill, wouldn't she have a health update once every two months or so? Peter Sallis: I see him going in 2017. He's really frail. Prince Phillip: Too big of a name to miss James Randi: I don't think he's that ill Lord Carrington: Old. A lot like Wouk except he isn't a centenarian. Clive James: Cancer won't kill him. Bob Dole: He's frail, but he'll make 2018 Joost van Der Westhuzien: Great pick. May not be the most well known, but he's certainly famous enough to get coverage from the BBC, and ALS is getting near the end. Prunella Scales: I'm not sure when she'll go. Jimmy Carter: Yes, he's in great health now, but his cancer could easily return. Plus, at his age, he could have a stroke Henry Kissinger: He's fine. He'll make it to 2018 Tommy Chong: Wasted pick. His cancer isn't even that bad. Doug Ellis: Literally just an old dude. George Bush Sr: Like Sallis, I think frail Bush will be leaving in 2017 Vera Lynn: Alledgedly frail. Leslie Phillips: Frail, and he sounds miserable in his interviews Sandy Gall: Certainly an intresting pick, but I don't think he's dying soon Fats Domino: He'll be that one guy that deathlist drops, and then he drops as well Robert M Pirsig: Despite being frail, there are better picks than him to make deathlist Desmond Tutu: Constant hospitalizations and saying he want to have the right to die. Lester Piggott: Why is he on here? He is literally the worst pick on here Glen Campbell: Hopes he survives till 2017. Then, the glory will come. Stan Lee: Despite being old and absolutely not frail, I wonder if he is a name too big to miss Jake Lamotta: Outlived almost every boxer. How isn't he dead yet Denis Norden: Not sure on his health, but I think he's one of those picks with only one way out. Murray Walker: Cancer won't kill him Jimmy Greaves: Cancer is starting to get worse Gordon Banks: Cancer won't kill him Jacques Chirac: Haven't heard anything about his health since his hospitilization Stephen Hawking: Outlived literally every ALS case. He has a little longer to live Paul Gascoigne: I don't like drug addicts on here. They are way too risky, and he might make it to 90 if he continues to make deathlist appearances. Plus, they block other terminal health cases John Noakes: Alzhiemers will kill him, probably next year Bruce Forsyth: I'm not entirely sure he'll make the starting line. So here's my 25 who should be on deathlist next year if they make the starting line 1. Zsa Zsa Gabor 2. Olivia de Haviland 3. Billy Graham 4. Richard Adams 5. Kirk Douglas 6. Peter Sallis 7. Prince Philip 8. Lord Carrington 9. Bob Dole 10 Joost van der Westhuizen 11. Prunella Scales 12. Jimmy Carter 13. George Bush Sr 14. Vera Lynn 15. Leslie Philips 16. Fats Domino 17. Desmond Tutu 18. Glen Campbell 19. Stan Lee (I think he's too big to miss) 20. Jake Lamotta 21. Denis Norden 22. Jimmy Greaves 23. Jacques Chirac 24. John Noakes 25. Bruce Forsyth Tough, especially with Castro gone. I wonder what you guys think of my opinion on these people, and then, because I know some people will disagree, stae your opinion on these.

Question: Is Raul Castro famous enough for deathlist?

You're right. Fidel Castro will not die in 2017. Don't know about everyone else, but at least you were smart enough to figure out one.

With the event now being 4 days away, I hope you got your picks chosen or if not, narrowed down to a few picks. If you don't have one selected, you can always look at the death slam guide entries, as all of them, apart from Lupita Tovar and Fidel Castro, are eligible to be selected. Last thing: please select ONE name at a time. If your pick gets taken, you can pick someone else who isn't picked yet. Of course, only 24 members BESIDES the host can participate (and the host can't pick anyone until everyone has their picks selected, so I'm not expecting Errol Christie or Leah Bracknell).

Well, you have to be someone like the queen or the Beatles to take that one over...

I was looking up something on my phone five minutes ago. The wife walks in and says "Oh, alright, who's dead now?" And to think I said "no one". He'll be updated ASAP. Headline: Is Castro dead yet?
