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.

I am really enjoying this round and I only needed to listen to a few of them to remind me. We have quite quickly weeded out some dross (and the odd gem) but just picking 10 to progress is really hard. I was only 10 in 1979 but had three older siblings so this music is really embedded in my psyche. The Eighties rounds will be even better

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)

The biggest number of picks in this category Still no one in a winning position. @Spade_Cooley has three in one category and is one of three players who all have four hits

Signature now updated

Evening Standard Theatre Award Winners - Best Actress 1961 Vanessa Redgrave 1965 Eileen Atkins 1969 Rosemary Harris 1973 Janet Suzmann 1974 Claire Bloom 1977  Alison Steadman 1978 Kate Nelligan 1980 Judy Dench/Frances de la Tour 1986 Julia McKenzie 1988 Lindsay Duncan Updated for the death of Joan Plowright. To be honest almost any of these would be a good punt. Probably not Alison Steadman or Lindsay Duncan but any of the rest

Both Christopher Benjamin and Joan Plowright were dropped from my team this year which as long as I can get some autumn hits seems sensible but a bird in the ground is worth two in the bush.

Fiona Shaw is brutally blunt on this point when defending her appearance in Three Men and a Little Lady. "They don't care what we do (in the theatre) so I can happily take their money to pay for what I really want to do"

This moves @CaptainChorizo into a winning position awaiting Armin Muller-Stahl

RULES  Pick a film with at least three (or four) remaining cast members and submit the name of the film and the three selected cast members on this forum  The first player to have all three of their cast members die wins the round. No two players can pick the same film but are allowed to duplicate cast members  If two players end up with their single remaining pick being the same performer then they are obliged to add a tie breaker to their team this can be any member of their film's cast or crew.   At the end of the round entries are wiped and everyone picks again. All films in the previous round are out of bounds (though could be reintroduced in the subsequent round). Winning films will go into the Hall of Fame and are out of bounds in perpetuity.  The Game will start as soon as your entry is submitted. All entries should be submitted before Thursday 14th April 2022 after which the late entries rules will be applied. Late entries will be accepted but they may not duplicate actors. Those that have already sent me teams via PM will be included on the Masterlist other wise post below but check the other entries and the banned list of films.
