You said 19 and now you're saying 18, is it just 18? What I can spot is that Frank Field (your alleged 8th pic) hasn't died. I didn't give you a point for Giorgio Napolitano, which your name doesn't appear under. that brings you to 17 Giorgio Napolitano _floydylan_ 16+1 Scoreboard: gcreptile 28/50 Grimgrass 21/50 DeathBecomesThem 20/50 philip 20/50 Main Deathlist 19/50 MortalCaso 19/50 markb4 19/50 Salmon Mousse 18/50 Summer in Transylvania 18/50 CaptainChorizo 18/50 dimreaper 18/50 When The 18/50 Nick 18/50 tracy 18/50 Hell 17/50 wannamaker 17/50 Doorslammer 17/50 The Daredevil 17/50 BuffaloPhil 16/50 The Old Crem 16/50 diego 16/50 _floydylan_ 17/50 Windsor 16/50 WEP 16/50 jonnythegamemaster 16/50 Book 15/50 Zsa Zsa's leg 15/50 Clarence 15/50 Thatcher 15/50 six feet blunder 14/50 Joltin Joe 14/50 Torva Messor 14/50 Murdoc 14/50 MariNisia 14/50 earl 14/50 ThereWillBeDeaths7 14/50 Brad252 14/50 John Key 14/50 TheSpinosaurus 13/50 Dying Probably 13/50 WinterCake 13/50 LizLemon 13/50 Charles De Gaulle 12/50 TQR 12/50 LWCZ 12/50 Etushispushingupdaisies 12/50 Death Duke 12/50 Steve 12/50 theoldlady 11/50 Johnnas 11/50 MrShadrak 10/50 Redrumours 10/50 Khthonia 9/50 ladyfiona 9/50 polar duck 9/50 thadee 9/50 Famous6Eva 8/50 Bibliogryphon 8/50 Pop_Zeus 8/50 Gooseberry Crumble 7/50 TheKestrelofDoom 5/50 With your edit - should be up to date! Hope that sorts it out Frank Field lives - for now.

I've got the masterlist posted on the first page, if you're on desktop you can use ctrl + f of your own name to find the 16 that has been mentioned and tracked in this forum. I went through and did a 30 second search and couldn't find anything obvious. Missed names are often caused by obscure celebrity deaths not being mentioned in this thread, misspellings in your list, or genuine error on my side. I am happy to add any points that you have earned fairly onto your score, but I might need you to do a bit of due diligence first and let me know what those errors could be.

Misspellings are normal. As long as either the first or last name is spelled correctly, I'll usually get it for this competition. Pasting the name from google is the best way, but I'm guilty of typing out some of my own names. Major misspellings / nicknames may become an issue. Was it that there were dead people in the list? You can't just be ambiguous like this and make me guess, it'll hurt my ickle feelings. Including dead people like June Brown won't result in a correction from me, that's what your subs are for - I don't usually look at individual names and I don't want to fix peoples lists for them. I'm not personally critiquing every submitted list, just if I have to be corrected every 5 seconds because I missed someone because of a spelling mistake it adds to work Take the penis? Happily, sir I'm trying to think of a 5 letter word that fits in there. Late submissions are allowed, or feel free to enter next year I hope you understand why I wouldn't allow your list to be submitted as it is.

Maybe, but if I pointed out all the errors from that list I would be here all day. That was my politest way of saying I wouldn't be entering that list unless if it was fixed and reposted.

@Kissofdeath Major, major spelling errors in your list - this means that when someone dies, you will literally miss the hit and not get a point. I know for a fact my list shares one of your spelling errors, spelling errors happen! Your first error is #6 Shannen Doherty - I spelled that one wrong too and will need to fix my own list But I do notice quite a few major spelling errors on almost every third name. If they don't get fixed I won't process your list into this competition. You also don't need to clarify obvious celebrities that don't have pretty unique names and that are well known e.g. Barbara Knox and Bob Odenkirk wouldn't be confused for anyone else. Post your list as a new comment when you're done fixing it.

Yes please. Apologies! Not having numbers throws me off sometimes First on my list, Jimmy Carter, as my joker?

Could you delete the lines in-between the names so I don't have to manually delete them myself? A notice to all: In about 24 hours I'll start compiling the master list The only thing this means for all of you is any changes you want to make to your list, just make as a new comment rather than an edit.

I haven't started compiling my masterlist yet, just paste it into the other thread so when I process all the other ones I don't have to come here too!

Was anyone on your list already dead before the 1st of January or not fitting other criteria of this competition? You may be valid for extra points! I lost Constantine II of Greece from my subs this year. Perhaps Anastasia Zavorotnyuk has been dead all along and I'll retroactively score a point

Perfectly right, that's why I acknowledge subs. Perhaps we're entering into endgame territory here. We can safely put a crown on gcreptile, with mentions to Grimgrass and DeathBecomesThem who are second and third, potentially being the only three that did better than the official Deathlist this year.

You can just edit any posts you make, and replace him with anyone OR one of your three subs (edits right now are fine and the way to do it) @earl could you please paste that as plain text? (or at least make it smaller) Not a major issue, it's just hurting my eyes and I feel like barking out commands Makes it 1% easier for when I paste things over to both my privately kept masterlist and the public masterlist on the first page.

Is this one meant to be 2024 or am I misunderstanding the prompt? Great post, I love thinking I have some power over who should be the most significant of the year.

Yup, just edit your comment for now. While submissions are open, I'm not formally entering lists into my system until the 30th-31st.

I was 1 score short on my tally so I found I didn't give myself a point for Ben Ferencz. 5 people previously had a point for him. I imagine this mistake is due to a discrepancy in spelling of his name. Benjamin B.

If your hits don't match the number of hits on the scoreboard, now is the time to let me know! Bonus points if you can figure it out yourself, I might be nice and help out, maybe.
