Pop_Zeus 141 Posted December 23, 2022 Whilst this won’t impact the top of the leaderboard, it seems the list of @Predictor is missing from the scoresheet. Astrid Soderbaum died on 28 Nov, aged 103: https://www.salaallehanda.com/2022-12-01/sista-dikten-last-for-astrid-soderbaum--blev-103-ar Also Lise Drougge & Everett Lee are hits, putting them at a score of 3 if I am correct. Quick question, is there any reason why this pool is only 15 picks, when many pools allow 20? Looking forward to next years game going up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to next years game going up Actually Predictor asked for that, to be out of this and other pools, he/she would have 4 hits... When I started in 2020 I was suggested to have 15 instead of 20, until now nobody has completed the 15 hits in a year, so I don't see the need to change it... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alcalina 7 Posted December 27, 2022 Sorry, wrong thread 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pop_Zeus 141 Posted December 29, 2022 Not long to go now. Can anyone join @drol and @Great Uncle Bulgaria at the top? I just mentioned this in another thread, but I’ve noticed this year how many people have died aged exactly 100, almost like the age is some kind of target; then their body just gives up. Someone could use their entire 15 picks on 100 year olds (and those turning 100 soon) and have as good a chance of winning of those going for the higher ages.

chilean way 1,724 Posted January 1, 2023 Finally the year is over and this game too... After so many emotions with a big start by @gcreptile who sadly keeps with 10 hits, we got a different winner as what expected!!! Altough was a tie between @drol and @Great Uncle Bulgaria I had to apply rule 7 (more unique picks), what made it as the winner to @Great Uncle Bulgaria, even without give a hit for controversial pick Asta Hasse... CONGRATULATIONS SO MUCH!!! And CONGRATS all who participated in this game, BEST WISHES FOR ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!!! 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,211 Posted January 1, 2023 Congrats Great Uncle Bulgaria! Interesting strategy ;). Yeah, I never did as well in any deadpool as these first few days of 2022 when half my team died. But the "statistically sound" age-based picks just didn't work. Lucile Randon is now 3 years older than anyone else. James C Floyd is still alive. Oh well, would have loved to win it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CONGRATULATIONS SO MUCH!!! Thanks and thanks for running this Chilean Way. This is a most unexpected and doubtless never-to-be-repeated triumph, mid-4th quartile is my usual level. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
