@Book So The Quim Reaper and I are currently the two leaders of the side game with nine hits each?

That's right!

The next update/leaderboard will be posted after hit No.20; Kotto is hit No.18.

[Book 3,556]

Beverly Cleary clearly is a hit here for Annami, Bibliogryphon, Buffalo Phil, Elephant, Etushispushingupdaisies, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, Steve, The Daredevil, The Old Crem, theoldlady and ThereWillBeDeaths7.

Thanks, added. Your hit No.8.

[Book 3,556]

I guess it's no surprise that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was our No.1 pick by far!

19 out of 24 players put it in the first place and thus also correctly predicted the position on the DL. So now points for everyone!

 

 

Also, Philip is our 20th hit, so time for an update:

Brilliant showing. I didn't put Limbaugh on this list? He's on my shadow, and I just submitted that.

No, sorry, he's not on the list I have saved. But thanks for reminding me of your new name.

[Book 3,556]

Walter Mondale is hit No. 7 for the DL and also a hit for Bibliogyphon, Dying Probably, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, The Daredevil and TomTomTelekom.

[Book 3,556]

While her husband Kirk was picked by every player last year, Anne Buydens Douglas was picked by only 4 players: Annami, Great Uncle Bulgaria, theoldlady and The Quim Reaper. Congrats!

[Book 3,556]

Surprise André Maranne wasn't on the DL   Whatever, he was predicted by The Daredevil, The Quim Reaper and ThereWillBeDeaths7.

[Book 3,556]

Norman Lloyd was picked in many pools, so it seems, also here by Annami, Bibliogryphon, Dying Probably and The Quim Reaper, but not by the Committee.

[Book 3,556]

Yoo Sang-Chul is a hit for chilean way and theoldlady.

[Book 3,556]

Two had Kenneth Kaunda: 14:22 and The Daredevil.

[Book 3,556]

Oh dear, it is such a drought these days that keep me falling asleep, that I totally missed Dilip Kumar as a hit for chilean way, Steve, theoldlady and The Quim Reaper.

And the mother of French legend Catherine Deneuve, Renée Simonot, has died on the 11th of July and is a solo hit for Dying Probably.

Congrats @all!

[Book 3,556]

Long overdue hit with Gerd Müller for 14:22, Book, CaptainChorizo, gcreptile, RoverAndOut and The Daredevil but -again- not for the DL.

Will check it later whether there is another missing hit.

[Book 3,556]

Aha. It seems like I missed Eric Carle, a hit for Bibliogryphon on May 23rd.

So Gerd Müller is our 30th hit – time for the next update with no changes at the very top (and the bottom, sorry guys):

[Book 3,556]

Ed Asner is an hit for Annami, Etushispushingupdaisies and WEP but not for the DL, where he was selected for the second and last time in 2019.

[Book 3,556]

We really do wonder why Sarah Harding wasn't picked by the Committee because she was the perfect pick: British, very ill, well-known personality, great media coverage...

We = Annami, Book, Buffalo Phil, Prophet, RoverAndOut, Steve, The Old Crem, The Quim Reaper, TomTomTelekom and Vaagheid.

I wasn't massively surprised tbh - the Cmme don't really like going for younger picks. The youngest in recent memory I can think of (cue pedants in 5...) is Joost van der Westhuizen who had ALS.

[Book 3,556]

Thanks to my vacation, I'm a little late. But here are two blasts at once:

 

Abdelaziz Bouteflika has died on September 17th and he is a hit for 14:22, Bibliogryphon, Book, CaptainChorizo, chilean way, Etushispushingupdaisies, Great Uncle Bulgaria, RoverAndOut, ThereWillBeDeaths7, Vaagheid, WEP and of course the Committee.

 

Jimmy Greaves, who died two days later, is another hit for the Commitee as well as for 14:22, Bibliogryphon, Book, Buffalo Phil, CaptainChorizo, chilean way, gcreptile, Great Uncle Bulgaria, Joey Russ, msc, Prophet, RoverAndOut, Steve, The Old Crem, TomTomTelekom and WEP.
