Good questions! Thanks for asking. 1. Yes, they would count as multiple episodes. A Part 1 + Part 2 situation counts as two separate episodes IF IMDB or Wiki would count them as separate. This is prevalent in reality TV where they have a cliff hanger, but then the next episode is essentially a continuation. 2. I defer to IMDB + Wiki. If they are credited for the episode on one of those two sites, then yes. For example, a fond show of mine The Walking Dead often has multiple deaths a episode. They usually start the next episode with a recap and show the death again, technically the actor/actress appeared twice. If IMDB/Wiki do not credit them for both episodes, neither shall I. 3. No. It needs to have aired. If one of those special "minisodes" airs, such as a Christmas Special or something, than that would be allowed. One of the rules for this pool specified the show must have 10 episodes that aired. As we are discussing Television in 2022, I am willing to stretch that to any streaming service as well. The cast members must be in at least two episodes that aired. I will add this specification to the rules. Good question TV Shows obviously covers a huge background, hopefully this answers your questions. If you disagree or are confused with anything, let me know!

I couldn't contain my excitement and posted the rules/Twist early. I welcome feedback as I want everyone playing to actually enjoy it! Entries open immediately and close August 5th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT).

Rules: *Aired in the context of this pool, means TV/Streaming* A. You must pick 3 cast members for submission, with at least 1 sub. - If a cast member + sub dies before game start, I will allow a replacement B. Any person selected must have a IMDB or English Wikipedia page created by the time of game start. C. Any TV Show selected must have at least 10 half-hour episodes or 5 full hour episodes created from start to finish (that aired*). D. Franchise TV Show's will be considered separate. For example, Star Trek TNG vs D9. E. The cast of your show must have at least 5 living verified members by your submission. - If a cast member dies before game start, knowingly or not, thus bringing the number below 5. An exception will be made. F. Whoever's picks die first, wins! G. The cast member selected must appear in at least two separate episodes in the show (that aired*)! H. A plan for a tie-breaker is in place, it involves the overall age of the 3 cast members selected. Whoever has the youngest average age, wins. I. You MUST submit your team/show via PM, otherwise your submission is not counted J. If 2 people submit the same trio of names, but for different shows, I will honor the first person who submits it - The other person will be required to use their sub, but I will allow them to choose who to swap out. K. A QO will be very lax this game, I'll accept nearly anything. My Twist! As this website has brought some of the most informed deadpoolers around, I want to make it a bit harder. If any user picks a show, which is then picked by another, that show is eliminated from the game. Essentially this means you take a risk in submission, as any show you pick could be scrapped if someone else is likeminded. It also means it would be wise to have a back-up! Do you take a risk in picking a popular show, thinking others will be scared? Do you pick something unique knowing you have no competition on it?

Different way of going about it. With only 4 deaths so far from the DL, what were some bad picks? Hindsight being 20/20 that is.

Not sure if he has a Wiki or any mentions online, but Tuskegee Airman James Shipley passed away at 99 on July 21st. https://www.htmayfuneralhome.com/m/obituaries/James-Shipley-3/Memories Will embed link later.

On July 22nd, Howard "Howie" Kleinberg died at 46 via a heart attack. Kleinberg was a contestant on Top Chef's Season 3: Miami. He finished in 7th place.

What did we expect? Lost hope for the list when Dick got slated #1

Seems similar to what happened with Tanya Roberts. Imagine he dies this week.

Thank God you joined and shared this thought. I'd be lost without such wisdom. What a delight to the community!

It will be an extremely sad day when it is his last rodeo. An idol of mine

Did some digging as this shocked me. I didn't realize how relatively recent Picasso's era was! Not only does he have multiple children alive, but also an ex-partner who is now 100 years old! (Wiki) Françoise Gilot for those interested.

@ImNotHades Time to update the poll I believe.

It's pretty common for that thought to pop up in the 40-50's. Mid-life crisis no? I've heard similar thoughts from others. I think he is just coming to terms that he won't live forever. Not being invincible, etc.

That seems like a close vote. Is that common? RIP the person best developed for the position.

Ted Kaczynski

Do we submit the picks within a certain time frame? When is the start date? EDIT: I'm impatient. Oops

I see John Bartha has been solved/updated. Thank you for whoever did the research on that! I'd be interested in how it was figured out. I will note Wiki has him alive, but now has the correct birth year. Glad I didn't pick him for The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

I'd argue that being famous doesn't mean you need a thread! Obviously I'm in the minority based on the level of threads...

I'd consider joining this game if it was kept up to date. @Lafaucheuse Neither this pool nor Twisted DL seems to be managed. Odd....

Until some notable actors drop...it still has a bit to go.

I believe you have to wait for the round to start. Could be wrong though @drol
