John Key 747 Posted December 31, 2022 I cancelled on New Years Plans to "look after my dog" - I think the Deathlisting may have been a small contribution to that as well. Large amount of selections like this are usually where I make my mistakes, so I'm trying to be careful as it is the end of the year. Feel free to check the records and stand up for your list - you deserve it. People also called the Pope different things in their list which adds to more potential mistakes. I've tried to be thorough and look for different things he might have been called. (things considered were "pope", "benedict", and I did "XVI" not thinking it would pick any up that I missed - but it picked up our tied champ, gcreptile, who called him Benedikt XVI. Almost missed) Pope Benedict XVI Bibliogryphon 9+1 John Key 22+1 earl 10+1 Theoldlady 21+1 Doulton 7+1 wannamaker 17+1 The Old Crem 13+1 Dying Probably 7+1 Hell 14+1 Salmon Mousse 20+1 Etushispushingupdaisies 6+1 MariNisia 18+1 Gooseberry Crumble 5+1 Annami 17+1 dimreaper 6+1 Death Duke 11+1 jonnythegamemaster 15+1 Nick 14+1 The Daredevil 16+1 _floydylan_ 15+1 arghton 5+1 Book 21+1 gcreptile 22+1 gcreptile 23/50 John Key 23/50 Book 22/50 Theoldlady 22/50 Salmon Mousse 21/50 MariNisia 19/50 wannamaker 18/50 Annami 18/50 The Daredevil 17/50 jonnythegamemaster 16/50 _floydylan_ 16/50 TQR 15/50 Hell 15/50 Nick 15/50 Main Deathlist 14/50 The Old Crem 14/50 markb4 13/50 six feet blunder 12/50 Death Duke 12/50 Pop_Zeus 10/50 earl 11/50 Bibliogryphon 10/50 Redrumours 9/50 Doulton 8/50 Dying Probably 8/50 Etushispushingupdaisies 7/50 dimreaper 7/50 Miranda lass 6/50 arghton 6/50 Gooseberry Crumble 6/50 DieHardGiantsFan 3/50 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Key 747 Posted January 1, 2023 This might be our final scoreboard! Our end of year champions are @gcreptileand John Key I guess rather than an applause, I could suggest we humbly pat ourselves on our backs? Special mention to Book, who lead the game for most of the year until our final December deaths, and everyone who bet the Main Deathlist in getting more than 14 hits. A learning curve, thanks everyone for your patience through the frequent mistakes I made! I enjoyed hosting. I've always considered my shadowlist to be the most important list I make each year, and I thought there was a hole in there not being some kind of Shadowlist competition - even though there are ones that rhyme quite a bit. Any late death announcements or findings may change the scoreboard - but for now this is it! Good luck for 2023, in all regards. gcreptile 23/50 John Key 23/50 Book 22/50 Theoldlady 22/50 Salmon Mousse 21/50 MariNisia 19/50 wannamaker 18/50 Annami 18/50 The Daredevil 17/50 jonnythegamemaster 16/50 _floydylan_ 16/50 TQR 15/50 Hell 15/50 Nick 15/50 Main Deathlist 14/50 The Old Crem 14/50 markb4 13/50 six feet blunder 12/50 Death Duke 12/50 earl 11/50 Pop_Zeus 10/50 Bibliogryphon 10/50 Redrumours 9/50 Doulton 8/50 Dying Probably 8/50 Etushispushingupdaisies 7/50 dimreaper 7/50 Miranda lass 6/50 arghton 6/50 Gooseberry Crumble 6/50 DieHardGiantsFan 3/50 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salmon Mousse 473 Posted January 1, 2023 Anita Pointer a last second hit for my squad. Given that the exercise here, for me at least, is to create a list that's legitimately famous enough to replace the main death list 22 hits seems to be a big success. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats on a good score, and a sneaky last minute point! News articles seemed to be announced on the 1st, but the phrasing seems to be "Pointer died from cancer at her home in Los Angeles on December 31, 2022, at the age of 74." thus being a 2022 death.
