This not a predictions game, this is a response time game. If you don't post fast enough you have no chance of winning. Completely pointless. 1

wow... was not expecting that. Must say i made the list purely for the predictions and not to last the year. I don't think many on it will die.

So i asume the competition is closed now and we have to wait...

So I decided to start a little competition to predict the deathlist 2016... This is how you play: You send me (as a personal message) a list of 50 names who you think will be on the Deathlist 2016 in the order you think they'll be on there... * You get 5 points if you guess someone who is on the list correct... * you get another 5 points if you also guessed his/her position on the list correct... * Entries need to be send to me before 12:00 A.M. GMT on the 31th of December 2015... * I will reveal the winners in the first week of January... The person with the most points wins... (apologies for the bad grammar... typed it on my phone in an airport) edit: updated the rules below to make the stakes higher.... ----- 25 points for exact position 15 points if you are at only 1,2,3,4 or 5 positions removed 10 points if you are at only 6,7,8,9 or 10 positions removed only 5 points if the person is on the list but farther from the original position...

I am loving that the deadline is still in my timezone. It's tradition, i guess. In the past i never entered because i feared it would be unfair since i would be able to see other peoples unique picks but this is nicely solved through removing the unique pick-bonus. i'll try to get a list finnished in time, but it might not be easy because i am currently abroad. Also thank you again for hosting it, book.

Well this is a wierd story that just keeps getting wierder. Dotan, a musical artist in the Netherlands who came under fire a couple of weeks ago for having hundreds of fake social media fanaccounts. Now has gone missing according to his mother.

Thank you

Is someone willing to take this game over from me next year? I just know next year is going to be an extra stressful year for me and i won't have the spare time too run this game. So if someone wants to take it over for me, I would really apriciate it. (I will even give you the password for the mail-account)

i am sorry i have been sw busy lately. i will try to do it this weeekend. Is their someone who want to take this game over from me next year.

And that's it. No more entries. Now we wait for the results tomorrow.

Just 3 hours left

Just a quick warning. This competition ends on the 30th around midnight not the 31st. So if you still haven't entered and want too then do it NOW. Also to clarify this isn't technically a dead pool. It is a competition to predict the frontpage of this site. If you want to use your entry as a shadowlist you are off course allowed but i am not keeping score. I had some reason to believe that was unclear among new entries but could be wrong. Also i have a big art exhibition coming up in the first two weeks of January and have too build up for that. So i hope people don't mind if i post the final score in late January because of that.

Merry christmas. And a reminder that there are 5 days left to send in your entries.

10 days left. Have not recieved any entries in my mail yet but it will probably be fine again.

That's it for 2017

Experimental Dutch filmmaker Frans Zwartjes died at age 90 https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=nl&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=nl&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.eyefilm.nl/over-eye/nieuws/frans-zwartjes-boegbeeld-nederlandse-experimentele-cinema-overleden&usg=ALkJrhj1uUUv7vIednfDRXHVI48jCyEBcw

Okay seeing that i might be quite busy for the next two months, i made a special e-mail for entries next year (So that my private messenger doesn't cluther). DLpredictiongame@mail.com Kind of the same rules as last time but less points 5 points for exact position 4 points if you are at only 1,2,3,4 or 5 positions removed 3 points if you are at only 6,7,8,9 or 10 positions removed only 1 point if the person is on the list but farther from the original position An extra 2 points if you where the only one who guessed the person correctly And 2 points detracted for every person you got wrong You are allowed 3 extra names (in order of priority) who will replace a name if they die before the list is online. Also maybe give your predictions a title seeing that i can't use the DL usernames anymore if it goes through the mail. You can send them to dlpredictiongame@mail.com (only) untill the 30th of December at 23:59 CET (mainland Europe time so 22:59 GMT). I will reveal the results somewehere in January. Not expecting any entries yet, but if i am not here for most of November and December you now know how to reach me. I will start checking this mail adress weekly from mid-november and daily from mid-december. Please don't use PM me the names anymore.

Seems a bit premature... not? I don't think he will ever reach 90 but can easily see him outlive his first term.

I have been a (former) regular poster here since 2008. I have not created any new thread here in over a year and am now making one for someone with medical problems and enough fame (in my perspective). If you have issues with the mass-posters here, don't fucking take it out on me when i post a thread once a year.
