This would be a brilliant question on pointless.

Throat?

Updated masterlist.The third nomination period will open 8th May 00:00 if no one scores before then.

Maryport Death Impends Spade and Jackschlotter each can still pick one extra name.New entries welcome.

I didnt know the name but knew the face.

You can pick another name as well.

You can have him but if Sally Major obits now it doesnt count.

I have decided that in all subsequent rounds all players can have two picks.That number will increase by one each time we have 28 days without a hit.

Here is the current masterlist: The Dead Cow Errol Christie John Wraw joeyruss Benjamin Suisala Linda Nolan Toast Greg Gilbert Marieke Vervoot Death Impends Rayya Elias The old lady Michael J Fox Chaz Bono drol Paul van Zandvliet Bibliogryphon Frank Miller Jane Campbell Shaun of the Dead Eberhard van der Laan Maryport Gord Downie rockerhopperpenguin Fernando Ricksen Jackschlotter Heidi Loughlin Captain Chorizo Chasey Lain Jay London

80 today!

Nope no one else has her.

You already have him.You get to pick a second name not selected by anyone else.

Ok a reminder.Everyone can now have a second pick.Criteria:Has to be aged 18 or over and be alive at the time of posting.Has to be born on or after 6th February 1952.

But the DDP obit rules are not retrospective.Hence why Craig Strickland didnt count.

Well I am in.Sounds a good idea.

He only counts if he dies after you posted that.You can switch if you want.I am applying the same DDP rules for missing people.

Malcolm Young

When you thinking of starting it?

Yeah the obit rules wont change.I just dont want pools on this that last too long.Especially as it wont last forever.

What would the rules be?

Ok the 28 day rule will be put in place unless there are any objections.Each player can pick a second pick at 22:00 GMT tonight.You can only pick one ectra name unless you are a new player in this round in which case you get two.

Yeah I have probably jixed some poor sod.

I am contemplating implementing a 28 day clause whereby if a hit hasnt occured in 28 days all players can pick a second name after a designated time set out by me as host.Unless like gcreptile they have picked a unqualifying pick in which case they can pick one name to keep them in the round.Then if at 56 days there has still been no hit everyone picks a third and at 84 everyone picks a fourth.Let me know what you all think.
