You provided 4 subs with Pervez as your highest sub, and they would move up as appropriate. If a sub passes away I will usually just tag you to make that argument at the time rather than constantly moving everyones names up. On your points for Lucile Randon, what was the subject matter of her wikipedia page and several documentaries? Was it only her advanced age? If it wasn't about her advanced age, was she made famous from them? You can make this argument and defend your pick if you think that she is famous enough in her own right outside of her advanced age.

Just been on holiday so haven't been paying much attention to this forum, coming back soon Under the rules and guidelines: Candidates cannot be famous solely for the fact they are likely to die imminently - this includes people famous only for their advanced age. Probably the rule I would be strongest on. I don't believe Lucile Randon would be famous for anything other than her advanced age.

2022 Shadow DeathList Competition Big note: Please don't challenge individual names on someones list when they post. When a celebrity dies, this discussion can take place then. This is more of a "everyone who already makes a normal Shadow DeathList should come and submit this here anyway" kind of thing, to explain the motive of this competition and why the rules are generally relaxed. To enter: Have a list of 50 celebrities chosen by yourself, for their likelihood to die in 2022. Candidates must be famous enough that their death is confidently expected to be reported by any countries media On the issue that someone isn't famous enough, I have no idea how to deal with that. Adding strict rules and limitations doesn't seem very cool though, because I want people to feel comfortable posting their normal Shadow DeathList. Candidates cannot be famous solely for the fact they are likely to die imminently Candidates may submit their list any time from September 2021 to December of 2022 of 50 names + 5 subs. Post your list here to enter, there's no stress in posting it by January 1st if you're ultra-competitive with keeping your names a secret Names on the scoreboard will only count AFTER you submit your list. If you submitted your list on the main Shadow Lists Forum or another similar forum late this may be taken into consideration. (If you submit a list in February of 2022 without having had posted it elsewhere, deaths occurring in January aren't going to count) Things to keep in mind about any person you choose: Are they likely to obit in a major newspaper? Are they a well known celebrity? Do they have a Wikipedia page in any language (that clearly wasn't made just for Deathlisting) You will not be asked to prove any of these when you post your list, but upon your candidates death you may need to meet some of these criteria. I will try and be pretty relaxed on these and use discretion, but family members of yours/local nobodies are the reason why I'm not just saying that all names will count if they die. A rough guideline that I don't follow is to probably try and pick names that the "main" DeathList may also pick. Scoring System: One death = One Point Making this early to take criticism of making this, suggestions, and to give me time to think of necessary rules. The inspiration for creating this comes from wanting a clear place to compare how my Shadow List does to the main DeathList. Anyone else that wants this for any reason is welcome to join and post their list below at a reasonable time. It is a valid criticism to say that the lack of rules may affect the quality of names or the formality of this deadpool. Some people already make a Shadow DeathList and I want this to be a place where we can compare them. For 2022, at least, I won't have formal rules on names. Being reported in the newspaper and having a Wikipedia Article that isn't a stub will go a long way.

That's more than perfectly fine - and generally automatic I'll move Scales up on your list so that it's easier and there's no question when I adjust the scoreboard. First major death with 30 hits, congrats everyone who's got a hit I will try and keep a good log of deaths so any mistakes I do can be easily fixed - the numbers of entries has almost doubled from last year and I'm trying a new system.

Very likely the case. I will still allow for a period of time for anyone to dispute or discuss (time of death, people inclusion of him)
-
Frank McGarvey died on the 1st of January. Before I add them to the scoreboard, I welcome discussion about this. Any questions about when he died, if any of these times may be valid/invalid because of entry, or anything else you can think of should be mentioned now. I will also tag the people who have him as a death so that they may defend their point if they would like. Frank McGarvey @Book - 1st January 4:43AMNZST (31st December 3:31PM UK) @gcreptile - 30th December @Famous6Eva - 30th December @Windsor - 29th December I will wait at least a day before adding him to the scoreboard.

I put Connie Francis into your 23rd position!
-
Oh I see, good eye. As long as no information about Connie Francis has been revealed in the last 4 days and she hasn't died, I think it's fair to pass the choice onto you. Would you like Graham Nash to be moved up, or for Connie Francis to be moved into your list? (same criteria Graham Nash, no new info and hasn't died) Ultimately, I feel that my position is to be lenient (within reason) because this is about people using their own shadow deathlists, not necessarily just for some silly, meaningless competition

The only problem with that is that it may impact deaths being identified - if you want to keep it that way, you might just want to remind me when someone on your list dies!
-
OH, you got me - I'll definitely add in another sub. For integrities sake, the next person on my regular list is James whale. Rolf Harris Randy Jackson Anastasia Zavorotnyuk Frank Field George Alagiah Ted Kaczynski Rowshan Ershad Andy Taylor David J. Linden Jonnie Irwin Rhod Gilbert James Whale ^ my new list would be like that with James Whale as my second sub
-
@Death Impends I would like to keep it simple and move everyone up one, including my subs. My new list would be; Rolf Harris Randy Jackson Anastasia Zavorotnyuk Frank Field George Alagiah Ted Kaczynski Rowshan Ershad Andy Taylor David J. Linden Jonnie Irwin Rhod Gilbert Hope that fits with this, let me know if there's anything else for me to do. So many big deaths at the end of 2022 made Deathlist competitions a bit harder!
-
That's okay - just post another comment with those fixes and I'll add them onto the masterlist!

Congrats on a good score, and a sneaky last minute point! News articles seemed to be announced on the 1st, but the phrasing seems to be "Pointer died from cancer at her home in Los Angeles on December 31, 2022, at the age of 74." thus being a 2022 death.

I will do nothing with this instruction, I want you to post your list with these people in it. I don't want to write your list for you. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be with that, if you can't post your list I can't add it to the masterlist. @DoorSlammer private messaged this list for submission: 1. Henry Kissinger 2.

Awesome, nothing need be done from you. @Redrumours Please make the appropriate format changes to your list. I really don't want to look at capital letters all year before I move them into my sorting system. @Salmon Mousse Let me know when you have edited your own list with the sub changes that you wanted.
-
Don't mind me, just getting a bit flustered by this competition being doubled in membership from last year - and my leniency allowing end of year fix-up antics and late entries. Yup! Just fix up your list and repost it as a new comment and I'll put it onto the masterlist. Is this the same as the one you private messaged me 13 hours ago? If it is, then that's fine and I'll just copy that one, but if it is different - please take note of the third comment in this forum for appropriate ways to format your list! Adding columns or anything fancy means that I have to fix it up which I don't want to do.
-
Waste of a post, ban this man! Wait - you're not a newbie. I regret Rolf Harris, who upon deeper inspection seemed sicker than I thought he would be.

This might be our final scoreboard! Our end of year champions are @gcreptileand John Key I guess rather than an applause, I could suggest we humbly pat ourselves on our backs? Special mention to Book, who lead the game for most of the year until our final December deaths, and everyone who bet the Main Deathlist in getting more than 14 hits. A learning curve, thanks everyone for your patience through the frequent mistakes I made! I enjoyed hosting. I've always considered my shadowlist to be the most important list I make each year, and I thought there was a hole in there not being some kind of Shadowlist competition - even though there are ones that rhyme quite a bit. Any late death announcements or findings may change the scoreboard - but for now this is it!

Just edit your list and repost it as a comment and I can slap it onto the masterlist!

I'll add your list to the masterlist. Apologies for the misgender, I should have known by your profile picture! I will replace Bernice Johnson with the Pope on your list. Do you mean Eddie Bernice Johnson? That's the name that came up on google.
-
At this right your whole list will be dead by the end of 2023! That looks right to me. I'm not sure if I should know what this means
-
Edited comments will go unnoticed now that I've made the masterlist. Check here the masterlist. Posting your list again would be your best option for having both Arthur Scargill entered and a new sub to be considered.
