Welcome @Lord Insomnio. I am technically the host of this game but the players put in a lot of effort notifying hits, providing obituaries and pointing out duplicate picks. You are well placed to use the remaining month to hone your team and then the scoreboard resets to zero for the 2025 game on 1st Jan.

That isn't really an update more of a character description

LinkedIN or one of the job websites would be a good fit

If there is an English report of the death of Aida Judith Leon the three players will benefit @gcreptile @MariNisia and @An Fear Beag the latter two will move onto three hits in three categories only two hits from victory but will she get that obit over two weeks since she died and no English language confirmation

SCAVENGER HUNT BINGO DEADPOOL RULES Each player picks five selections (and one sub) in each of five categories (for categories see below). There are three ways to win 1. You get at least one hit in each of the five categories 2. You get all five hits in one category 3. You get three unique hits across the whole game.  There is no fixed duration you play until there is a winner. In the event of a tie the total number of hits across all categories and after that the number of unique hits. Obits will not be stringent but must be in English and from a News source (not social media). The Game Controller will be checking that picks meet the category criteria at the start of the game but challenges will be accepted during the first two weeks after the full list of entries are published on the forum. In order to ensure that there are no issues with selected names that have died prior to the game beginning each team will need a substitute in each category. This will come into play if the death of a pick was found to be before the start of the game. Once the game has begun a substitute will not invalidate a unique pick but will not count as a unique pick for the player whose substitute it was. A unique pick is considered unique in category. For example if two categories were Conservative MPs and Contestants on Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars and three players picked Edwina Curry in the first category and the fourth player picked her in the second category. If she eggspired then Player 4 would get a unique bonus. When a winner is declared the selection of the next categories passes to the victor and they get to select the new categories. The Categories for the sixth game are: 1) Anyone who has provided a credited voice for The Simpsons This also includes people who have played themselves as long as they are credited 2) Anyone who has been a spouse of a Head Of State For the purposes of this game HoS will include President, Monarch or Head of Government (PM) (so both Mary Wilson and Prince Philip would have counted) 3) Anyone who has won an Ivor Novello award (including band members as long as they were members at the time of the win) This is limited to the six main competitive categories and the two commercial awards as listed below Nominated annual awards Best Song Musically and Lyrically Best Contemporary Song Album Award Best Original Film Score Best Television Soundtrack Best Original Video Game Score Other annual awards Songwriter of the Year Most Performed Work 4) Any footballer (male or female) who has won a senior international cap for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales 5) Anyone credited in a movie featuring Batman (from "Batman" (1943) to "The Flash" (2023)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_in_film Teams must be PM’d to avoid revealing those unique picks. There will be a two-week period after the lists are published for disputes to be settled people whose picks are removed at this point will be allowed replacements but will not be allowed to select another person's unique pick. Entries close a midnight on 31st July 2024 (BST)

It is one poll and Kier Starmer has time on his side. He has four years to do something. A lot of people are really upset at the moment and there is probably and underlying fear that KS will start back sliding on Brexit. This will only really begin to matter if the disparate Reform vote begins to have some genuine successes at the Ballot box in council and parliamentary by-elections or there is a coming together on the right.

Jon Brady has gone at Northampton Town. Not a hit here. I think that due to diminishing returns this game should run across a league season. At thus rate the winner might be determined by a manager dying of old age

In the character actors thread I have posted lists of London Evening Standard Theatre award winners but I was trying to find a place for the other theatre creatives (writers and directors). I did think there was a Luvvie thread but apparently not so here we are with a list of the ten longest surviving Playwrights. With a very interesting name to start us off. BEST PLAY (Writer) 1957 Roy Lawler (b. 1921) 1967 Peter Nichols (b.1927) 1972 Tom Stoppard (b.1937) 1974 Alan Ayckborn (b.1939) 1976 Howard Brenton (b.1942) 1980 Ronald Harwood (b.1934) 1983 Athol Fugard (b.1932) 1985 David Hare (b.1947)* 1986 Christopher Hampton (b.1946) * Co-author with Howard Brenton.

1983 is normally considered as Thatcher's Landslide victory - post Falklands and up against The Longest Suicide Note in History
