arghton 6,123 Posted December 31, 2021 Considering Tutu was probably my last hit, I got 37/250 if I counted them right. I'll count the hits of other people in a couple of days in case there are folks whose death hasn't been reported yet (or, well, there's still hours left of this year) Betty White. 38/250.

arghton 6,123 Posted January 25, 2022 I've now counted four teams, three to go, I'll try to get it done soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,123 Posted January 30, 2022 Final scoreboard, only to be updated if someone finds a mistake: 1. @msc: 102 points, 94/250. 8 bonus points for Yoo Sang-chul, Pat Smullen, Lars Göran Petrov and Hideki Hosaka with the "under-50" bonus. 2. @CaptainChorizo: 100 points, 89/250. 11 bonus points for Yoo Sang-chul, Pat Smullen, Bibian Mantel, Greg Gilbert, Sarah Harding and Bart the Bear 2. 3. @Joey Russ: 66 points, 64/250. 2 bonus points for Pat Smullen. 4. @chilean way: 51 points, 44/250. 7 bonus points for Yoo Sang-chul, Pat Smullen, Bart the Bear 2, Winter and Bo. 5. Me: 38 points, 38/250. 6. @Bibliogryphon: 37 points, 37/250 7. @gcreptile: 32 points, 32/250. I recommend counting your teams to check if you can find something I've missed. Especially msc and CC. Off-radar deaths: Ambroise Yxemerry (1917-2013) Picked by CC, turned out he died in 2013. Fast Eddie Fryer (?-2017) Picked by gcreptile, turned out he died in 2017. Loongkoonan (ca. 1910-2018) Picked by CC, turned out she died in 2018. MIA (Some of my dumber terrorist picks): Bajro Ikanović likely died in 2016. Nobody really knows for sure. Fatiha Mejjati went from dead to alive to dead and is now alive again. How the fuck are they still alive-awards, somehow they didn't become hits in this pool either: Leslie Phillips: How? Not seen anywhere in years. Are we sure he's still alive? Kane Tanaka: Managed to survive and live from August 2020 to the start of 2022 (and is still alive) and also became the third-oldest person ever. Oscar Wyatt: Overweight 97-year old businessman. Suffered a stroke in 2008. Now looks 20 years younger than what he is. Monica Vitti: Probably has had Alzheimer's for over 30 years. Boris Pahor: He has looked like a corpse for a decade but still going at 108. Thank you for participating. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MortalCaso 1,426 Posted January 30, 2022 Will this pool be making a comeback this year? I've thought it would be a fun one to try. Thanks for running it @arghton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
