Deathlist Cup 2022

[Captain Hemlock 742]

I'm currently in a scoreless tie with @GuyFromFuture. Should I send a March list in or wait?

[Annami 85]

Emile Francis is a hit for HDS by the way, he died last weekend:

Hockey Hall of Fame member Emile "The Cat" Francis has been put out for the night, and HDS claims four points as a unique hit.

And as for next round: so the 0-0 ties will be decided by a variant of coin-toss. If required, I can draw these coin tosses now so currently tied teams can know if they should think about submitting a team. 

If any team in the next round doesn't submit a team then the best-scoring team from this round will have a slot, but it's unlikely at this stage we'll have any non-entrants. It may be worth our best-scoring loser (An Fear Baeg, by some distance) throwing together a "Frank Field, George Perez and nine others" side quickly just in case, but I wouldn't spend hours on it if I was him.

Christian Today won't help my DDP aspirations but it'll suffice here. DigitalNun Sister Catherine Wybourne, who stood firm against Vatican suggestions that nuns shouldn't use social media, has been hit with the biggest banhammer of all. Predictor and Grim Up North are both nun the wiser.

I don’t think this has been spotted yet: Harry E Goldsworthy died on 16 Feb but it was only announced a few days ago I think. Points for @MariNisia against @ThereWillBeDeaths7

It was noted on the forum, but I think he didn't receive any obit (that was not paid by his family) yet, though surely, some military magazine is going to publish something soon?

[ThereWillBeDeaths7 725]

QO or not, I'd say this pretty much seals the deal, well played @MariNisia 

[Guest]

@YoungWillz Despite what I said about not counting my chickens, I just remembered that Feb is a short month, so I have put my March team in. With three and a bit days to go, can you mount a challenge and make me look like a buffoon?

Oh absolutely not.

 

With all of my team still alive. who is the real winner? 

[MortalCaso 1,629]

Random update:

 

Ludmila Ferber died January 26th. Would not have counted. She was a unique pick by @YorkshireBanker who won by default this round via Sean.

 

Thought I'd point it out since you listed their picks @Spade_Cooley

She was also a rejected pick in the Alts Obit. pool

@ThereWillBeDeaths7... Thank you for your message, I really appreciate it.

You're a great player and your victory would not be a surprise to me.

The truth is that it is my privilege to play with you this month.

No matter what happens at the end.

When is the deadline for team submission?

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

11:59pm GMT on February 28th.

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

OK, Death Impends now has my very hastily thrown together Round 2 team, so I can begin dealing with any messages sent to my account now without being accused of cheating.

If both teams from any of these ties like this post, I will publicly post the results of the coin toss for their match.

[Death Impends 7,977]

Indeed, can verify I have and reviewed Spade's PM.

She’s currently in hospice care.

Thank you! Seriously though we should stop discussing names. You guys are after giving away two very good picks now in this thread. From now on let's keep things hush and let those who have done their due diligence triumphant rather than handing people names.

Let's see if we can't collectively follow this sage advice.  You know who you are.  Feel free to post obits; but when we get to 48 hours before Cup teams are due try to set your inherent cuntishness aside and let Cup players do their worst.

Although if people do want to keep naming names in earshot of me, I am OK with this, too.

Marietta Giannakou, Greek politician, MEP 2009-2014, Minister for National Education and Religious Affairs of Greece 2004-2007 finally dead at 70:

Leg amputated due to diabetes complications in 2008, picked in Maryport's Midsummer Dead Pool in 2016 when she was in ICU after a heart attack. Recently suffered a fall and seems to have been a pick somewhere this year.

Bringing this over to the cup, believe this would put me at 18 points in my unneeded cup team. What could’ve been…

[Spade_Cooley 9,530]

Marietta Giannakou was the former Greek education behind a botched move to get the country to recognize private universities, leading to widespread student protests and a hastily curtailed career in parliament. Then she had a leg cut off. wannamaker draws equal with Famous6Eva in their tie, but will not be seeing round 2 at this point due to the average age rule.

March team sent in.
Good luck @Book should be exciting!

Was checking my picks and found out that Fabio Restrepo died February 13th

Is the deadline tonight or tomorrow?
