    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    I have become too old to know (and care?) about the new generation of celebrities. But I try to listen. Some of these internet people are quite well-known, in terms of numbers. Better known than some classical musicians who get Telegraph obits.

  3. Not in my list yet... Look at this post in 20 minutes and I'll know. Edit: Yes, you'll do well. Edit: It's 132,73 pts. I have relatively low scores for Pete Frates, Helen Fawkes and Charles Bradley. And if, for example, Frates dies, you'll get a boost of 12,8 pts.

    The 3Rd Death Of 2017

    Jill Gascoine again
  5. Update for Joost, (and Gordon Aikman, but Shaun isn't quite up there...yet), Paul McGill's obitability now at 5%. People who picked Joost get quite the boost... as I only had his chance of dying in 2017 at 60%, but with his high base score, his death gains people 0,4*13=5,2 points. The 60% chance was my thought that he was slightly past the average life expectancy of people with ALS. Also, the higher probabilities are mostly reserved for terminal cancer people and those in a coma and declining. 1. The Love Boat (156,12) (back on top with a third hit) 2. Golden Slumbers (155,32) (climbing, and climbing, to the top - five hits now) 3. David Quantick's Showbiz Pals (154,72) 4. Day in the Death (153,71) 5. Thomas Jefferson Survives (153,11) 6. Still Life (147,01) 7. To Kill a Gabor Sister (146,74) 8. Pan Breed (144,79) 9. Garn2 (144,41) 10. Dead Ends (144,0375) 11. New Years and Drinks All Night (143,95) 12. Droller Coaster (141,78) 13. I will not die, it's the world that will end (140,43) 14. I'm sorry for your trouble (139,75) 15. The Living End (139,33) The first two teams now surpass the previous points record. But, as a reminder, I will reduce expected scores a couple of times as people "run out of time to die". Maybe once every quarter. We have yet to see any of the gambles NOT paying off. But this early in the year, the only possibility of failure is not obiting.

    Joost Van Der Westhuizen

    Indeed, sad. I wasn't entirely convinced that sports related ALS could kill. I suspected that you suffer severely from it but don't die from it. I only picked him because statistics told me to and because of something his ex-wife said.

    The Deathlist Cup

    Err.... I found out my pick Ken Ryan already died in January... http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/burnabynow/obituary.aspx?n=kenneth-j-ryan&pid=183636982 Edit: Well, since it was my own fault not to find that out when I had the chance (it was possible to know in January!), I think it's only fair if my team misses an 11th member.

    Well... the ...I don't know... "interior muscular apparatus" must have become too weak for living by now. Every breath must be a fight. I don't know what else can collapse out of muscular weakness... It will be over soon.

  15. Probably. I'm not at home to check. But I've increased Hurt's chance of dying to 100%. The Excel formulas should do the rest. That would explain his/her entry into the scoreboard.

    The Deathlist Cup

    Coincidentally, I saw a documentary on organ "harvesting" last week. Basically, Da Silva is dead. If she's an organ donor, she should die-die soon. But the machines can keep her heart beating for quite some time.
