We are now at 27 entries. We still have no duplicated picks! Remember entries close October 13th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT). That is a little over 2 days from now. I am still going through the process of validating selections. Currently 22 out of 27 have been locked in.

We currently have 22 submissions and no duplicate picks. I am going through the process of verifying them now...

I will say, obviously @The Old Crem is a fearmonger and has been wrong about pretty much every level of geopolitics since I've joined. BUT. There is no way Israel was attacked to this level without Iran knowing and approving it. Possibly funding it as well. Their parliament also just had a big circle jerk where they chanted 'Death to America' so...

The definition of Infomercials, Sports, and News Shows. I got the definitions from this page. Not sure if you mean the 'banned shows' (the shows that were selected last round and therefor won't be allowed this one) or if you mean the Master List that will be released when the game starts. Either way, yes alphabetical makes much more sense. I will do that for both!

Entries are officially open! Entries open immediately and close October 13th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT). Please use PM only. Some changes for this round: 1. You must send me 2 subs for your TV show. It is a requirement to send me subs in your selection. Without them it will not count 2. I've outlawed News Shows, Infomercials, and Sports. This is due to feedback from last round. I've left in Game Shows + Talk shows. I am using the Wiki definition for those genres of shows when deciding what qualifies. Please reach out if you have questions. 3. All selections from the previous round, except those that were eliminated due to duplicate selection, are not allowed for this round. Please ask questions or point out issues. I am always open to feedback. Thanks again to @Bibliogryphon for being my inspiration with this pool

The Chicago Bears will be kicking off their game in the next few hours, I am sure this will be covered heavily.

Hello everyone, There will be another round! Stay tuned for an update this weekend that will release the rules + open entries. Entries will be allowed for a week or two depending on demand for the game. Updates to follow shortly...

Eliminated Shows: None List of the Missed: Cancelled 2/3/24. Likely won't continue in future versions

Hello everyone! I've been posting on here around a year now, been a lurker much longer. Decided to dip my toe in making a deadpool. With @Bibliogryphon giving me permission, I am going to take his Silver Screen pool and go the opposite way. A deadpool based around TV Shows! It will be a very similar concept, in that everyone picks a TV Show instead of a movie. I will be changing the rules a bit + adding my own twist! Before I go to far into it, I wanted to gauge if this is something a decent number are interested in. The amount of people playing will impact the rules I create! If interested, please respond below or *like* this post. I'll be adding a Rules/Master List post for future updates as well. Expect the Rules to be published + entry dates on Monday, the 1st of August. Thanks!

I'd consider it. The only reason I have that rule is because you need 3 cast members to enter + 1 sub. So basically you need a minimum of 4 cast members alive to begin with. Originally I wanted 2 subs and switched to 1 before I created this game, that's where the #5 came from. Can I ask why 5 is an issue? I'm definitely open for discussion on any rule changes.

Congratulations @Toast! Not only are you the winner of this pool with 3 hits, you were also the only one that managed 2 hits! I'm not sure whether you winning says more about your skill or the lack of competition. Perhaps both . I will be updating the List of the Missed as best I can over the next few days as well as providing some commentary of this pool and how it played out. Expect a new thread for the second edition of this pool shortly. We had 27 entries for this one and I appreciate you all participating. Please feel free to let me know of any changes you think are needed before round 2!

It is an interesting time in U.S politics. I don't think Dems get a Speaker in any situation though, i.e. Jeffries. McCarthy has quite literally bent over backwards to be as conservative as possible, yet it is not good enough! They are heading for a massive loss in the House at this rate. It will be reminiscent of 2018.

It is common for those that are dying to miraculously recover on the day of their death.

That's a political problem. She was a living breathing zombie. She didn't make her own decisions on voting or in life. She should have stepped down or been removed. I'd say the same about current Rep. George Santos and Sen. Bob Menedez.

Crazy timing. Right before the government shutdown, the 1st day of Biden impeachment hearings, and just over a year before elections to replace her. It also means that the Governor of California just got some extreme pressure. She should have stepped down a long time ago. Similar to RBG, her years of service is tainted by inability to give up power.

A sad hit, but a hit nonetheless. David McCallum is the first hit for @TheSpinosaurus with the show Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. It had been 2 months since the last hit in this pool. Somehow the host chose NCIS and didn't pick the aforementioned...alas the world turns.

That is really upsetting. Rare to find someone that is a good actor and person. RIP

I am shocked that a list of people with old age and/or health issues had a death. You must be a psychic friend!

Nikolai Ryzhkov

August 24th is when they messaged me.

Kudos to him for knowing when to give up power and bow out. He likely would have faced a fierce primary, but I think he would have won. If only he had been the 2016 nominee...

Agreed. Consider that they left Pope Benny off last year. 50 spots and they missed him. You want to use one of them for Biden now? Just a tad deluded. Give it another year or so. I don't think it would be the worst idea near the end of his 2nd term.
