    Here is the long waited update that you've been waiting for, featuring all the hits from the DDP updates so far:

     

    We begin with the unique hit of legendary rock n roller Chuck Berry. Bibliogryphon will be getting 1 basic point and 3 unique points... but wait! There's also unfortunately a 2 point deduction for being in prison at some point in their life (it was originally a 3 point deduction, but I decided to be a nice guy and reduce it to 2), so the final added points for Bibliogryphon is an additional 2 points.

     

    Next, we have the wealthiest hit of the the bunch, giving 9 people at least one point, including Captain Chorizo, who at this point is even with Death Impends. A lot of bonus points goes to the following: YoungWilz has a bonus for finding secret spot #20, making his hit worth 2, Gooseberry gains an extra point for spot #20 as well as a point for guessing every person in order until they jump back (a bonus only he is still eligible for due to lack of hits), I gain an extra point for the joker bonus, The Unknown Man gains a point for finding secret spot #35. 

     

    Shaun and Gooseberry will get another hit with Colin Dexter, with Gooseberry getting another every person guessed in order until they jump back hit.

     

    Another small hit is Ingeborg Rapoport. A more important hit, with Death Impends gaining the lead at this point, and only gets denied of unique points from RishCast, whose team might be one to watch in the future...

     

    Now a funnier hit was the late Don Rickles, with three teams cashing in. Chorizo is once again back to joint leader with Death Impends, with RadGuy and Bibliogryphon's team on the rise.

     

    Speaking of Bibliogryphon, he jokered this next hit, broadcaster Brian Matthew, who is getting 4 points instead of 2 due to finding secret spot #8. The Dead Cow also gains a point, getting himself out of the third place dead lock, for now at least...

     

    Our last hit for this update was the oldest person in the world, Emma Morano. In somewhat of a controversial decision, I've decided that she is nothing more than FFBI, as while she wasn't a cancer mum, her only claim to fame is being the world's oldest person. So, a lot of basic points won't show up at all. Funny thing though, both Chorizo and Death Impends found a secret spot for her, claiming #35 and #5 respectively, so they are still joint leader. MSC will also gain a point for finding secret spot #32, and The Dead Cow found secret spot #10. Basically, only the top 4 found a secret spot for her, which is sometimes how things goes...

     

    Here's the long awaited leader board:

     

    1st= - Captain Chorizo - 55 points

    1st= - Death Impends - 55 points 

    3rd - Dead Cow - 47 points

    4th - msc - 46 points 

    5th - RadGuy - 45 points

    6th - Bibliogryphon - 43 points

    7th - RishCast - 36 points

    8th= - Shaun of the Dead - 35 points

    8th= - Unknown Man - 35 points

    10th - Pedro67 - 34 points

    11th - joeyruss - 21 points

    12th - YoungWilz - 19 points

    13th - Gooseberry Crumble - 8 points

    14th - Cat O'Falk - minus 1 point

     

    I must note that Bibliogryphon might be one to watch, he's certainly on the rise for sure. I think he has a chance at cracking the top 5 now. However, the top 2 still have a gap of 8 points from the 3rd place person, but he (and the other 2 in the top 5) has a potential hit with Sasha Lakovic in the next update. Too bad he's probably not getting an obit though...

    Consider this Sir Creep's one gift to everyone for 2017.  Christmas comes early.

    106-year old Mastanamma is an internet cooking video star apparently.  Did I mention she's 106?  Obit chances, let's say 30%.  I'm on board.

    I wouldn't say that. That forum hiatus of yours was a gift to us as well. :D

    Can't be so sure. When King Michael was diagnosed in March 2016 nobody thought he'd make the starting line for 2017 let alone 4 months in and counting.

    Also, reading between the lines, it sounds like they caught it early and are able to treat it.

    It's bone cancer though, not skin cancer. That's a lot more deadly than skin cancer. Which is why I'm annoyed that I sent in my team way to early. :banghead:

    13. That joke was as unfunny as when that old dude from around the corner died. 

    It only works when it's actually on the list, and not added by another forum person. :D

    Can you explain please why it's so much more difficult to choose and predict for women candidates than men? The difficulties you outline are not specific to women. 

    Your comments are also applicable to a number of the male candidates on the deathlist like Sandy Gall and Denis Norden 

    I think the answer to the women question is simply because they have a longer life expectancy than men, so when women show up on the list, they tend to be older folk with maybe a few terminally ill folk here and there (Bracknell, Harper). Those in their mid 80s, male and female, are not actually good candidates unless there is some that we know is wrong with them (talking primarily about Tony Booth here, but I'm thinking the Emperor may also be a good pick as well), and that's where most of your choices come from. Just my thought.
