Hello all,
After lurking on the DeathList forums since around 2016, I'm coming out of the shadows, now that someone has kindly created an alt.obituaries thread. It's long been the lone deadpool I've played. Don't get your hopes up that I'm the vaunted, but mysterious, Gerard Tierney. I'm not. I'm his shadow, Allen Kirshner, destined to always finish just behind him in the standings. It's good to meet everyone.
A brief word about myself. I've had an interest in death notices for many years. When I first came across the alt.obituaries dead pool in 2007, it seemed like a great place to channel that interest. I began playing it in 2008 and have done so ever since.
I've regularly kept up with the information posted in the various forums. I'm impressed by the effort everyone puts in. While I may relegate myself to this forum, in terms of posting, I guess we'll have to see.
Everyone has been quite open in posting their lists. I'm afraid I won't be so forthright. Sorry folks. However, as a goodwill gesture, I will list the 12 names I submitted for the 2018 AO Deadpool that were rejected and whom I had to replace:
1) Satoru Anzaki, 2) Ray Bitar, 3) Ami Brown, 4) Dean Francis, 5) Vanessa Goodwin, 6) Ian Lariba, 7) Abdelhak Nouri, 8) Carl Perkins (not the Blue Suede Shoes guy), 9) Joe Redner, 10) Will Rogers (not the man who liked everyone he met) 11) Dingko Singh and 12) Marieke Vervoort
Finally, a word to whomever had Dennis Stamp in the 2017 Deadpool I know someone who posts to these forums did. Don't hold your breath on a last-minute QO. Two people had him and I'm the other one. I did everything I could to have him count but no dice. Sent in a number of obits, none was deemed good enough.
All for now.
