Prince Philip, to give me a heart attack for the crowdsource list

Well let’s see if the list gets to 20 then...

Right, points have been scattered down now. Do remember entries are open for anyone who wants to give the host another heart attack have their voice heard for this list.

You know I had a suspicion that the record would break after that extremely fruitful first 6 months. Despite some really bad picks, definitely have to give props to the committee. A combination of some ill debutants plus so many of the old timers gone did it. Now the question whether they would've broken the record without COVID (ie can they reach it without Sutcliffe)...

December 8 I actually think December will be quite busy

Also looks like the Mad Hatter gets silver in the end. Well done to him. Really hope that @The Mad Hatter shows up more often...

I don’t know about everyone else, but just have a feeling the record might break. Just a feeling...

Welp, gotta sub in 129 points for Giscard d’Estaing, who was well on pace to make his first appearance on the list

As a bit of a bonus, Spade's pick also would've received a QO too

More like the 5th person who entered won. Reading isn’t really your strong suit is it?

Oh, and if I’m not mistaken Spade is the person to have a win in both MMMDP and Advent Avalanche. Respect there...

Spade did say 2021 would be his drive for five. So... a sign of things to come in the DDP next year? We’ll have to wait and see, but barring any evidence in the next 48 hours that shows an even earlier death, congrats on your win.

Twitter reporting he’s dead again. Give what happened last time awaiting more info...

Who was it?

Do you have proof of her death?

Some people like to submit much earlier. In fact I believe our likely champion submitted his list on the 29th...

Just cross posting here in case the committee cares (they don't)...

You’re just glad you weren’t around for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Apparently themaninblack had to deal with over 50 spellings of his name.

Pretty sure your Pete Frates and Kate Granger’s are still eligible to be picked, just that most of the other FFBI are rightfully eliminated

If you don’t like that format of first come first serve, then don’t play. It’s really not that hard, and there’s absolutely no reason to give the dead pool host an even more stressful time, especially when they got to keep an eye on another pool as well...

Well, we don't want something like what you did in the future, especially when it lead to the confusion to another poster thinking they too might need a second pick. For future reference, it's one name and one name only. Don't add a second name just in case. If a poster beats you to the name you intended to pick, tough luck. Make another post to for another name. It's really not that long. I shouldn't have to see any more posts naming multiple names in the same post in this game ever again, got it?

Right, the Masterlist is up and running now. Good luck everyone.

Shortlist at 133, obviously going to have to be much shorter during the next month but it’s a start...
