Death Impends

STATS AND FACTS The Inverse Dead Pool has dropped in participants compared to last year, with 36 players total (12 less than 2019 and identical to 2018). Donald Trump has usually been the top dog in the Inverse but he wasn't popular enough in the DDP this year to be Inverse eligible (the DDP - the one place where you wish Trump had popularity...). With Trump out, Gazza now sits atop the perch. There is also an unanimous pick this time around - every single team has at least some modicum of confidence in Angela Lansbury's ability to see the year out. Name Total Points Total # of Teams 1. Paul Gascoigne 742 33 2. Queen Elizabeth II 707 34 3. Linda Nolan 646 33 4. Billy Connolly 635 34 5. Dick Van Dyke 616 34 6. Angela Lansbury 601 36 7. Barbara Windsor 529 34 8.

Jill Gascoine 188 19 Last year's people's choice would have finished in 10th place with 38 points, with Doris Day, Marieke Vervoort, and Valerie Harper the trio of landmines. Which of the above will follow in their paths? Conversely, the community regards these ten as the most fecked: Name Total Points Total # of Teams 1. Tom Smith 7 1 2. Genesis P-Orridge 12 1 3.

John Andretti 32 3 Nobby Stiles has been in the bottom 10 for three years in a row. Will the community's continued lack of confidence in his stunning survivability be validated this year?

And that shuts the door on Inverse 2020 entries. Good luck to everyone and their picks. Stats now being tabulated...

21 countries now. Pakistan, France, and Australia added to the tally last year, Oman this. There's also potential for Denmark and South Korea this year.

A Lotte hits going around lately. Up next is the death of South Korean businessman Shin Kyuk-ho, who marks the first hit for DeathByArsenic with 20 base points and 8 bonus points, for 28 total.

24 hours remain to get a team in...

Okay I have added two new reactions with functions like those suggested. Shocked and facepalm.

Roberta convo has always been in John's thread before. And so it shall stay that way.

Your team lacks a #14. I've bumped everyone #15 and lower up a spot and moved Olivia de Havilland to your #25 as it stands.

I have the power to add reactions so could look for a couple useful new ones over the weekend.

Christopher Tolkien goes from Middle-earth to under earth, and sees markb4 join the scoreboard with 10 base points and 4 extra for uniqueness, for 14 total. And four hits means scoreboard time. Book and RadGuy are joint top off the rapid demises of Qaboos and Scruton. Can these strong starts continue? =1. Book 75 =1. RadGuy 75 3. drol 65 4. YorkshireBanker 63 =5.

I like how for years Allen was second banana to Gerard Tierney in Alt Obits, but since joining the DL he's won twice in a row. Sort of has the feel of the plucky karate hero who needed to train at the DeathList Dojo to unleash his full potential Well done, Allen!

YorkshireBanker gets on the board with the death of Bobby Brown. The Rangers great, not the wishful thinking one relating to one of today's Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductees... Either way, 45 base points and 18 bonus points for uniqueness for 63 total.

That happens for me too if I copy directly from Excel to the forum. What I do is copy and paste the spreadsheet section to Word, and then copy and paste it from there to the forum. Sometimes I use the "Keep Text Only" option if it's only one column that I'd rather not have display as a table.
