By the way, I am working to update the team statistics, i.e. highest rank and no. of years in the game (maybe even a no. of hits statistic?). I wanted to finish that when this year's game is up. Let's see if I can, but recent weeks have been busy.

Well, slightly too much praise There is a little program that translates the Microsoft Access game file with all 1. teams, 2. celebrities and 3. picks into the website output. Every team has a code (so you can change the team name, but keep your "identity", the code is the identity). Every celebrity has a code, also. So you need to connect the celebrity database with the team database, and you do it through assigning the celebrity codes to the team codes (the picks). Anyway, it was just the program that crashed, not the website itself. It's because the translation program needs a perfectly fine Access file, i.e. no duplicate codes, all valid entries, all correct formatting. It was a little hard to figure out how it worked at the beginning. But it eventually worked, I still have a little trauma of these error messages though. That's when I had to go through the code to figure out what was wrong (all databases need to be in synchronicity, i.e. every celebrity in the game also needs to be picked, i.e. you have to delete unpicked celebrities from the master database). Once the program does its job, you get the A-Z pages, the team pages, and the scoreboard. LOTL, LOTM, obituaries and all other text is done on the website itself by Death Impends (or msc). It also took a while to make the website look okay. You have to upload certain files each year so that it looks okay. Anyway.... it took The Man in Black and Spade quite some time to get the game running initially, because they had to do both Banana's/Grim Up North's and my job at the same time. Accepting all the hundreds of emails, replying, checking and entering into the database. I seem to recall that the game wasn't usually up before February? Last year, we got it done in two weeks which was phenomenal. But well, the team submission via Excel REALLY helped. And we all had had some practice by then. (And then of course, TMIB and Spade still had to write the obituaries all throughout the year!) I would expect that this year, we will need a little more time. The late deaths didn't help and I would like to have some free time to upload and start the new game, that's usually on the weekends. It's not going to be done by next weekend, not possible. Maaaaaybe in two weeks? But it depends on how many new names there are. Doing it in three or four weeks sounds realistic to me.

Woops, deserved! I just saw the BBC obit and rushed on here....

Tom Karen, influential british toy designer of the 70s has died 96 on New Years Eve: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-64152619

If I had to guess... they might be trying to save his leg. I suspect it will have to be removed.

Chris Ledesma, music editor of The Simpsons since the beginning, has died at 64: https://metro.co.uk/2023/01/03/chris-ledesma-dead-longtime-simpsons-music-editor-dies-aged-64-18030364/

Christina Strutt as new 2nd sub and Graham Caveney as new 3rd sub please.

It's somewhat funny how the players are taking away the unique picks from each other, in a way that you can't rely on them at all, unless they're extremely late news or extremely risky. Going for unique picks is ...probably... overrated, but it does come with bragging rights.

Irish Ryder Cup player Barry Lane has died at 62: https://www.rte.ie/sport/golf/2023/0101/1344421-former-ryder-cup-player-barry-lane-dies-aged-62/

Stanley Mills, inventor of the chicken dance, died on the 29th at 91: https://news.yahoo.com/stanley-mills-man-behind-chicken-141445316.html

Stone was covered on the forum (by me?). - Edit: Ok, not really covered, but he was there. I wonder how the Mark Stokes situation will be resolved though. Adrian Sutton might also be unique. He's a bit obscure even though he was mentioned on the forum.

In the wise words of Boris Johnson, let's get it done! We've had some huge hits, I don't need to repeat. Let's go backwards... Anita Pointer... was not a pick?? Too bad, she was picked once in 2023 though, will have to be subbed. And then the avalanche: Pelé, Don West, Benedict XVI - all hugely popular hits, though the popularity means that the score order doesn't change THAT much. Barbara Walters has also been picked several times. Tony Vaccaro was a late unique hit for BabyBlue, well done! I see he got a Guardian obit just six hours ago. I also need to report the scoring of Jet Black. Happened a while ago, and should be in the earlier scoreboard for two players. This gives us the following scoreboard: Rank Team Score 1 Banana 1603 2 An Fear Beag 1500 3 msc 1474 4 Salmon Mousse 1420 5 Predictor 1417 6 Joey Russ 1395 7 Book 1368 8 gcreptile 1335 9 Cpt.

I think there's noone able to surpass him with one hit. However, we will now wait for a week. I will try to check for any missed hits, please let me know if you see one, or find anything else. And then we'll make it official.

Yes, his recent pictures basically show him with death face. It won't be all that long. But it's a very recent development, so I didn't pick him in everything.

A bit of sleep and I think the list is okay. So maybe not Larry David "eh", but okay. One always focuses on the 3-4 things that don't work well, but doesn't look at the 45 things that are okay. The list will get its' hits, but we'll complain a couple of times that it could have been just slightly better. And Henry Kissinger or Rolf Harris should have been no. 1.

Okay... 1. Rolf Harris 2. Ryuichi Sakamoto (joker) 3. Burt Bacharach 4. Nigel Lawson 5. Sonny Rollins 6. Jacques Delors 7. Henry Kissinger 8. Alan Greenspan 9. Nigel Starmer-Smith 10.

Congrats Great Uncle Bulgaria! Interesting strategy ;). Yeah, I never did as well in any deadpool as these first few days of 2022 when half my team died. But the "statistically sound" age-based picks just didn't work. Lucile Randon is now 3 years older than anyone else. James C Floyd is still alive. Oh well, would have loved to win it.
