Charles De Gaulle 484 Posted January 2, 2021 The death of Michael McKevitt puts Gcreptile, msc, DDT, Banana, An Fear Beag, theoldlady, and Salmon Mousse in a joint lead with 47 points. Everyone else is at zero. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 2, 2021 I will give a first update after I close the 2020 competition. So in a couple of days, I hope you can wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charles De Gaulle 484 Posted January 2, 2021 Ok. So in just the two hours two more picks have been declated dead. GCreptile with 138 points (All three). Book with 92 points (Little, Westiphal) Salmon Mousse with 138 points (All three) . An fear beag with 97 points (McKevitt, Westiphal). Drol with 92 points (Little, Westiphal).

Kenny 283 Posted January 2, 2021 I mistakenly thought that McKevitt had carked last year. If we had real justice, the murdering bar steward would have been hanged years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted January 2, 2021 I also had Floyd Little. Joker too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annami 85 Posted January 4, 2021 My first sub Alexi Laiho, a vocalist of Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, has died. No points for me though since he's only one of my subs and I'm not sure if he even gets QO (I didn't find anything about this in English yet, but it's all over the Finnish newspapers).

gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 8, 2021 Alright, get ready for a first scoreboard... Now, all the names are not yet in my long-term memory, so I hope not to miss anyone. But it seems to me that so far, we've had "The DDP triple", i.e. Floyd Little, Michael McKevitt, Paul Westphal. Plus, we've had two unique hits: that cleric picked by DDT, Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, plus Gerry Marsden, a unique hit for Bibliogryphon. However, only one person scores joker points, and that is An Fear Beag for Floyd Little, so he's the first leader of the scoreboard: Rank Team Score 1 An Fear Beag 183 2 gcreptile 141 2 Salmon Mousse 141 2 msc 141 2 Banana 141 6 DevonDeathTrip 126 7 Book 92 7 drol 92 7 Wormfarmer 92 7 JoeyRuss 92 7 Cpt.

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted January 11, 2021 11 days in, and I am up to 7 hits, but only 3 with QOs so far. Nawi, Shaidle, Strain and Hitchon all awaiting obits. I suspect that I will set a blistering pace, then run out of gas by the midpoint and watch multiple teams overtake me, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 16, 2021 Second update: We have Julie Strain, Stacy Title, Tommy Lasorda and Sylvain Sylvain. Ezra Nawi is looking for an obit. Will the broadsheets save him (or actually, those who picked him?)? And Kathy Shaidle didn't even get a "real" article anywhere. Most likely a miss - but we have to whole year to look. Anyway, the result is a scoreboard that has Cpt. Chorizo leading. After I had looked at all the teams, I actually thought, that's the most solid one. Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 30, 2021 3rd update... Mr. Whit scores the unique Cloris Leachman/Cicely Tyson double, as the latter is a unique hit for him. Plus, there are the already mentioned Larry King, and Phil Spector - bringing us the four hits I usually look for in an update. Ezra Nawi...well either tomorrow or never... Curiously, Larry King was a widely predicted death this year, and frequently picked in the DDP, but not so much here, the scoreboard remains more unchanged than one might have thought: Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.
