Ready to do battle and steal those picks from your fellow players Its fast and fun but you need to be on the ball but if you miss a round or two you can join in at any time  Basically the aim of the game is to pick 20 candidates from the years 1924-1933.You need 2 from each year and you must have one male and one female from each year. Candidates only qualify if they have a national news article about their death in English and or an obituary. The game does not start until 1 January 2024 (UK Time Zone) and no teams can be posted before this time and will continue until the end of the year. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. Its a competitive game. The overall winner will be the person with most hits in the year. The pool restarts as soon as a link from the the qualifying article is posted verifying age of the deceased (by their own standard). No two players can have duplicate picks and the age given in the article will be accepted as soon as the article is published and pasted to this site. It has to be decisive at the time the news breaks. If the age they give is different to the year of birth you don`t get a hit unless it is amended before another death that meets the criteria of a hit. There have been a number of cases where two or more deaths break at about the same time. If a later breaking death occurs but it actually happened before the start of the new round you will be awarded the point if you had the earlier death in your team at the point that they died. I will do my best to be fair and even handed. There is no limit to the number of players and you can enter the round at any point. You may even miss some rounds if they are quick. You do not need an admin to confirm your pick if you have a QO to post your next round team but you may be challenged if it in any way suspect.

Did I get a bonus for a run of three in the same suit?

It was THE second unique of the game not their second unique of the game. No-one is yet in an out position Though there are now hits in all categories

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)

Yes Peter Sinfield is a hit for both @Spade_Cooley and @MariNisia SC is now on three hits

At this time of year people will be focused on trying to predict which way the committee will jump with regards to retained names and this year with so few hits the choice will be even more difficult. So I have thought why not bring some modicum of consensus to the debate for the committee to ignore using the tried and trusted Kill or Save methodology that has proven so popular I have listed below the current 45 survivors which we need to whittle down to 25 names - Each person starts with 20 points. - You can vote once a day. Since we all live in different parts of the world with all sorts of different timezones, please add a date at the top of your votes to avoid any type of confusion (e.g. 18/9/24, 18th of September, Wed 18 Sept, etc.). - Each day you can give 4 points and subtract 6 points to any nane on the board, you can split your points between as many names as you want. -Placeholder posts are allowed, but if you don't edit your votes within 5 minutes, then the next person can go and do their votes. -Consecutive votes are not allowed. - New Rule for this game until the first person is eliminated you cannot give more than 50% of you score (+2/-3) to a single individual. - Make sure you copy and paste the most recent voter's scoreboard when you take your turn to score. For your own ease, ‘paste as plain text’ to get rid of the previous poster’s formatting. Then, delete their +/- scores, add yours, adjust the name's points total and make your scores bold If you do eliminate a name please update the counter. Game is over when 20 names are eliminated

The suggested consensus for the retained 25 for the 2025 list 1. Nigel Starmer-Smith 2. Esther Rantzen 3. Linda Nolan 4. Noam Chomsky 5. Joanne Woodward 6. Jean-Marie Le Pen 7. Stanley Baxter 8.
