Three departures since the last update:
David Dinkins: November 23rd (Mad Hatter 1296 points)
David Prowse: November 28th (The Old Lady 1635, Young Willz 1023)
Valery Giscard D'Estang: December 2nd (Etib80 1058, Quim Reaper1715 )
None of them makes any material difference to the upper echelons, so I won't clog up the thread with an unnecessary leaderboard at this stage.
Still 28 days to go.

On 02/12/2020 at 16:59, msc said:Its a facetious reference to Varadkar.
In short it means if your campaigning has become so renowned you are referred to worldwide - Phelan for example was on CNN in 2018. But folk like that are incredible rare. I suppose a 2021 example is Ady Barkan who has noterity internationally now for his campaigning (aided by Biden support). Whereas Stand up 2 Cancer campaigner Cameron Patel was only really known around Leicester. And is dead, which is another bad reason to pick them.
Not wanting to take this thread completely off topic, but I don't think that Vicky Phelan had much, if any, influence on the fall of the Varadkar government. Or indeed that his Government was "toppled" in the conventional sense of the word. It was a minority Government propped up by Independents and the support of their bitter rivals, which was supposed to last 4 years and which finished up about 2 months shy of that. in reality the Government had run out of steam some months previously, and it was only a matter of time before a General Election was going to be called. But Vicky Phelan and the Cervical Check scandal (which happened 18 months previously) had little or no effect on that.

23 hours ago, msc said:4. Have they achieved anything of note in spite of their illness? (ie did they raise shitloads for charity ala Jane Tomlinson, or now work for the BBC ala Deborah James, or got an OBE for their work ala Kate Granger, or helped topple a government ala Vicky Phelan). OK FOR NOW
Out of curiosity, what government did Vicky Phelan help topple?

My biggest regret is picking 2 FFBI types in the misguided belief that such a strategy was essential to having a shot at winning the thing. Immediately regretted it once I realised that the better, more long-established and classier teams had all avoided such picks. On top of that, they are both still alive and probably wouldn't QO if they did go, which pretty much ruled out any chance of catching Greptile (although I doubt I would have anyway). It is no more than I deserve for the two really poor picks. I applaud the committee for ruling those out next year- it will make for a much better game.

3 hours ago, Paul Bearer said:Fucking courts. I've just been called up for jury duty.
Can't you just tell them that you are far too busy moderating The Deathlist Forum to do jury duty?
If that statement alone doesn't immediately disbar you from having some poor sods fate in your hands, then the British justice system is in a far worse state than I thought.

This is getting interesting. Etush has another hit with Russian actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan to bring him up to 2693, or one hit away from the lead. A few live prospects on his team as well, so this game is far from over. Grim will be looking for a Tom Smith wildcard hit to put the game to rest, but so far no joy. All to play for.

48 minutes ago, Toast said:I realise that, but there was still nothing funny about their "jokes". What's funny about continually insulting someone unless the insults are really witty and original? eg Blackadder.
M&W were just school playground level.
Each to their own I suppose. Personally, I find their insults quite amusing, but I realise that they might not be to everyone's taste. It is easy to forget nowadays that M&W were playing to the mass family audience. Their humour had to appeal to everyone from young kids up to grannies. There are not many modern comedians who could pull that off, but with so many more outlets now for their work, they don't need to. It does mean however, that M&Ws stuff doesn't come across as particularly edgy or original, and maybe doesn't stand up so well to modern audiences.
And what's wrong with school playground humour? Next you will be trying to tell me that fart jokes are not funny!

Without even looking, I have a worrying feeling you have him in the Hares pool. If you did, he is going to be called Armen D.

Now he's 66 years old, in prison and being accused of terrorism and possibly in ill health:
https://www.myjoyonline.com/news/international/rwanda-denies-rusesabaginas-health-is-deteriorating/
Two things I have learned since I started deadpooling:
1. Everybody in prison is in poor health, and should therefore be released immediately on compassionate grounds (according to their lawyers, who would never exaggerate).
2. They very rarely actually die.

14 minutes ago, msc said:*I was going to say Bob Monkhouse here, but Wiki says he never hosted it? I have strong memories of Monkhouse hosting a BBC gameshow in the early 90s but can't find evidence of it online...Around the time Jim Davidson hosted Big Break.
He hosted $64,000 Question on ITV in the early 90s. Maybe that's what your thinking of.
Or Wipeout? It was on the BBC in the early nineties but he didn't host it until the late nineties, when Big Break was still running.
Or maybe your ageing memory is playing tricks on you

OK , I lied. I don't have some sort of a life
Alex Trebek was a hit for 26 out of the 43 players. That seems to be a record, beating Leah Bracknells record of 22 set last year.
First up, he was a hit for the leader Grim Up North. This brings Grim up to 17 hits, which breaks the record for most hits in this game, set by MSC in 2018. It also brings Grim up to 2888 points - another record, beating John Keys 2805 set last year.
He was also a hit for the next 5 players on the scoreboard, keeping them all in contention as the game hots up.
Remarkably, the 10 players in positions 7-16 on the last scoreboard all had Trebek as their wildcard, instantly bringing them all closer to the leaders, and causing a major bottleneck in the fight for the minor places. Only 275 points, or 1 hit, separates Etush in 2nd from Banana in 16th.
Ans as Grim continues to streak ahead, it is worth noting that there are now 5 players within 2 hits of the leader, with more likely to join that list as the days tick by.
Spare a thought also for CaptainChorizo. With Alex Trebeks demise, he equalled the old record of 16 hits in the game.... and dropped from 3rd place to 9th in the process .

36 minutes ago, RoverAndOut said:Some decent contenders on your Eurovision list. Olivia is known to be unwell, Nora Nova is ancient and Simone de Olivieira has survived cancer twice! That could get you to 4, I think the astronauts is the wildcard category here.
I don't want any of them to hit - they all bring someone else onto hits in 4 categories. Roy Taylor has MND, Franco Battiato retired due to ill health. Either of those would be better.
Its also a bit pointless having this discussion a few months after this game has started. No matter how many hits happen in the first few months, we will all still be looking for a spaceman to hit in about 2 years time.

Okay - some major activity in the Hares pool:
John Lysak is apparently dead. Who was he? A pick so obscure that he died on January 8th, but no-one even noticed until September. And Whoam! who picked him didn't notice until last week. His reward is a whopping 7 points.
Geoffrey Palmer was a unique pick for YoungWillz to nab him 309 points and a rise from 4th last to 6th last.
You will have to wait for Trebek - I do have some sort of a life you know.

Nobby Stiles was a 303 points hit for a lot of people. However, somewhat surprisingly, only one of the top 5 had him. That one was the leader Grim up North, who stretches out to a commanding two-hit lead again.
He was also a 606 point hit for Nantonian who leaps up to 4th place with only 8 hits, half that of the leader. A very efficient performance, and leaves them in a good position to make a late run as we enter the crucial stage of the game.
Sean Connery was a unique hit for Fixed Business. This combined with a Nobby hit, brings FB up close to the middle of the chasing back.
This is the current leaderboard. As usual, feel free to point out any omissions.

So, apparently Vasili Kulkov died on 10th October, and none of you bothered mentioning it. Honestly, do you expect me to all the fucking work around here
Anyway, points for Etushispushingupdaisies to bring him up to 1751 points and 4th place.
Yorkshire Banker also had him to move up to 849 points, and a slightly less shite position than he was in before.

5 hours ago, Grim Up North said:Hmmm I'm not being very attentive to this pool - AFB I've actually got 15 hits - David Hagen isn't listed as a hit for me. Not sure if it is included already in my score or not??
He's worth 206 points I think.
Cheers, GUN
Indeed you do Grim - I am obviously incapable of counting to 15. Unfortunately for you, the Hagen points had already been added. This is your scorecard:
Alex Trebek 0 Bernard Tapei 0 Chris Doleman 28 January 2020 27 David Guilpil 0 David Hagen 25 July 2020 206 Dennis Goldberg 29 April 2020 119 Ernie Moss 0 Frankie Banali 20 August 2020 232 Genesis P-Orridge 14 March 2020 73 George Alagaih 0 Greg Gilbert 0 Howard Finkel 16 April 2020 106 Jimmy Carter 0 John Andretti 30 January 2020 29 Judy Dyble 12 July 2020 193 Kirk Douglas 5 February 2020 35 Lee Kersake 19 September 2020 262 Liz Clark Soul 20 July 2020 201 Nobby Stiles 0 Pat Smullen 15 September 2020 258 Ruth Bader Ginsburg 18 September 2020 261 Sinisa Milahojivic 0 Stirling Moss 12 April 2020 102 Tom Smith 0 Vera Lynn 18 June 2020 169 All of which gives the grand total of 2273

So Grim stays out in front, but who is that I see creeping up behind him into second place, and only a hit away?
The field is bunching up behind, and a couple of late hits or a wildcard could jump someone out of the field and into contention.
An Alex Trebek hit at this stage could blow the competition wide open!
As always, let me know if there any errors (like your wildcard not being counted Clorox!),and keep your eyes peeled for the more obscure departures.

Hares Death Pool 2020

I said he had some live prospects to take the lead, and he's only bloody gone and hit one! Etushispushingupdaisies is one of 4 players to successfully predict the late demise of Tabare Vasquez, and so takes the lead with a new record of 3033 points.
The other three to hit The Unknown Man, Nantonian2013, and Jiromeonkiruma were all among the leaders, and all move up into the top 5. All are within 2 hits of the leader and have plenty of picks left (Nantonian has somehow hit 2524 points from only 10 hits), so Etush will not be putting the champagne on ice quite yet.
A new leader definitely deserves a new leaderboard, so here it is:
