TIME - for a convention - time to have some FUN - time to do it again...

Look out Ebola making a nasty return. 79 dead in West Africa in the last few weeks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-26825869 I'll keep it contained in one post... As of 2nd April - 95 deaths. As of 4th April - 97 deaths. As of 6th April - 99 deaths Looks like the WHO and MSF are halting it. Well done so far... but it will return... As of 3rd May - 157 deaths, so it's still going... 5th May - 164 14th May - 166 23rd May - 183 27th May - 200 2nd June - 208 5th June - 231 10th June - 252 deaths. Ditto 17th June - 337 deaths. 23rd July - 672 deaths. That's doubled in the space of the month. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27953155

I'm still here, I'll get round to it...

I do appreciate the hanker to keep the old thread on the go but every now and then you need to get a new car/dog/wife. It will keep the clutter of 2019 away from my efforts soon to really sort out who won last year. Also I half fancy trying to sort out who won in the year prior to me doing the duties. To everyone still waiting, sorry. Happy new year. I've updated 90% of the old spreadsheet but won't be entering any pools in 2019. Going to be busy all this next year, but I'll be turning back the clock to the point where it all went wrong and get a host of real answers for 2018 soon.

No I'm not here, not even lurking, not watching and not recording. Seriously, I got a new hobby that takes too much time. Too much back and fourth for work - but just been let go off for Cristmas, that's very kind of them. (blighters expected me to clear 35 project jobs but I only managed 27) So with the prompt from DDT I promise to tie up the loose ends of the Hartlepool Deadlypool in the remainder of the year and if anyone wants to take it off my hands there is no chance they could do a worse job. Catch you round in a bit...

Just died - sad one. We all got to go sometime. He was a class act.

Big day with "the man we do not name" dying today. I'll be having a good look at all the teams and picks very shortly.

I'll be doing an update soon. Not sure when - maybe during the coming week.

Was the date fixed or did it lapse?

No, you get the full ten. I very well understand the problem you faced.

and because you had a pre season hit you can bring a new sub in that could win you more points later in the year.

Please comfirm where you want Lynott in your line-up.

I had it down that you got a point for Carmen Franco - but yes, France Gall in for your number 1 spot.

and you can nominate a replacement sub - which could win you a further 25 points latter on in the year.

your choice entirely - where ever you think he fits best.

sorry missed those - I'll sort it out in a minute - but yes, you can move any of your team around and bring in any other name to bring your squad back to 12 names.

And my team... because we are now in 2018, I trip the dateline curse and can only enter 9 names. Thus my whole team from last year (minus the two hits) is carried into this year. 1. Valerie Harper 2. Ed Asner 3. Carl Reiner 4. Betty White 5. Marty Allen 6. Mel Brooks 7. Nanette Fabray 8. Carol Channing 9. Jerry Stiller Sub 1. David Hedison Sub 2. Bobby Vinton (new for this year) If anyone else wants a team entry - just submit up-to 9 names and 2 subs, any time during this year. So yet again I'm back-dating the start of this pool to Boxing Day (26th Dec 2017) and a number of teams are off the mark. Hits on Rose Marie, Carman Franco and Erica Garner. Won't do these 8 teams much good because I'm not rewarding them to any degree. Plus a real first 25pt sub hit for gcreptile getting Thomas S Monson. 1st Leader board of 2018 1st - 26.0 points - gcreptile 2nd - 2.4 points - Sean 3rd - 1.3 points - Phantom of the Midway =4th - 1.1 points - Death Impends =4th - 1.1 points - Prophet =4th - 1.1points - Drol 7th - 1.0 points - The Dead Cow 8th - 0.5 points - time. (just for saying she was on the cusp of your list) =9th - the other 22 teams. gcreptile, PotM, Sean, TDC, Prophet, Drol and DI can now add an extra name(s) into their 2018 teams. Either promotion of a sub or introduction of a new name(s).

Yes, there is a limit of two subs, I'm taking down all the names right now. This year every one who puts down three or more sub names will get 10 minus points if those people die. LOL.

Gord Downie played the drums so bonus points for many. Rad Guy 30.8 plus 12. Captain Chorizo 45.7 plus 18. Jiroemon Kimura 35.6 plus 14. The Unknown Man 35.5 plus 14. msc 25.4 plus 10. Maryport 40.3 plus 16. Deathers 30.2 plus 12. Book 30.1 plus 12. Morbid Kid 35 plus 14. On the same day 17th October, Danielle Darrieux died. This was a double day hit for Book. She was down to score 20 points and depending on who died first, her or Gord Downie each death should affect the others score. I don't know now who died first so will count it as a draw and not move the team members up or down but also I'll provide a special bonus of 20 points for the double hit. So with the bonus of 8 points that's another 48. On the 18th Nov, Malcolm Young died and provided 20 basic points plus 8 bonus points for I'mNotHades. Final hit of the year looks to have been Rose Marie, on the 28th Dec. The Dead Cow pulls in 40.1 basic points plus 24 bonus points. Death Impends adds 68 points and I add 32 points to my score. the bonus hand out for not playing subs is this year one short rated at 10 bonus points for Billiogryphon, I'mNotHades and Maryport. If two were blank then together they score 25 points to Jiroemon Kimura and Prosperina. DDT wins a bonus few points for again playing an adventurous team - almost the same line up as last year's effort. 25 extra points on that basis. And as Book was the 13th finisher, an extra 50 points are added. Well done Death Impends. Left it till three days and the last hit of the year to re-pass RadGuy. 20th and final leader board for 2017 was... 1st - 411.7 points - Death Impends 2nd - 378.8 points - RadGuy 3rd - 323.2 points - Drol 4th - 322.9 points - Maryport 5th - 314.0 points - Morbid Kid 6th - 308.5 points - The Dead Cow 7th - 295.5 points - Captain Chorizo 8th - 294.2 points - msc Position 8 & 1/2 - 262.6 points - Book 9th - 248.3 points - gcreptile 10th - 231.5 points - Prosperina 11th - 227.2 points - Pedro67 12th - 219.3 points - Jiroemon Kimura 14th - 188.1 points - Deathers 15th - 179.9 points - Uschi 16th - 179.1 points - I'mNotHades 17th - 176.9 points - Bibliogryphon 18th - 168.2 points - time 19th - 156.2 points - DDT 20th - 154.5 points - The Unknown Man 21st - 130.5 points - Toast 22nd - 120.2 points - RottenAli 23rd - 119.3 points - Joey Russ 24th - 115.7 points - LFN 25th - 82.4 points - Young Willz 26th - 79.7 points - Tick Tock

Also missed was a hit on Carsten Mohren on the 31st Jan. This should be an extra 42 points for Jiroemon Kimura. He is missing 56 points for the hit on Sasha Lakovic.

Oh heck - don't - it's still all under control. Just had far to much to do - don't put your self out - I'll be on it later.

I would like you to add a catagory for me please Toasty instead of my 4th choice.

Plenty of threads go into the hundreds of pages - this is just on page 12.
