Inverse Dead Pool 2022

Damn. Made it through 5 deaths...

 

Unlucky #6. 

[Sean 6,315]

I don't think I ever replaced one of my Dick Van Dykes.Can I let the host pick a name for me as a punishment?

Already sorted that in January – I chopped off your lowest-hanging Dick and moved everyone below it up a place, with your sub Eva Marie Saint at #25. If you still want me to punish you for e.g. sex reasons let me know.

Manon Fire

 

Apologies for the delay – looks like someone didn't pass the "famous enough that I find out about her death promptly from the Twitter trends" test.

 

Susie Steiner, former Guardian journalist, has died of brainworms at the age of 51. The author of the Manon Bradshaw detective novels, she will certainly "Remain Silent" now that she's "Missing, Presumed" dead. Those are titles of her books. Sorry, references don't tend to land when they're about "Persons Unknown". That was another one.

 

If there's one condition that inverse deadpoolers know to be scared of, it's obscurity – you know someone's really fucked when they crack the DDP Drop Forty without a Wikipedia page. For the most part, Steiner was picked by only our bravest players i.e. the ones already on the bottom of the scoreboard – thank you to @Doulton, @Hell, and @Neobrakeon for conspiring to preserve my mother's dignity down there – but it's also time to shuffle off for @MortalCaso, who becomes the latest victim picked off from the Zero Points Club. And then there were seven...

[MortalCaso 1,627]

I got some bad news for 35 teams! (Including myself)

[Joey Russ 7,225]

Oh, I only had her at 23, so doesn’t hurt me too much…

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Didn't pick Newton-John at all here by the looks of it. Possibly a bad choice by me, though I get no points, perhaps it looks bad that I thought she wouldn't survive the year.

[Pedro67 232]

Think I’ll happily take the 1 pt hit for her

[BuffaloPhil 926]

Second hit for me here, but only 2 points to follow the 4 I got for Dot Cotton, could be a lot worse!

Shambles.

I put her in the same place

[Death Impends 7,970]

Not unlike Greg Gilbert in years past, ONJ was stable for so long my mind internalized her as not being as terminal as she was. #6. RIP her and me.

I think chopping off my low hanging Dick is enough.

[MortalCaso 1,627]

Tom Weiskopf anyone?

Ain't looking until I see a QO... Sure I'll have him somewhere, probably not here.

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Checked and didn't pick him to survive.

 

Mind you that's Olivia Newton-John and Tom Weiskopf updates needed from @machotrouts, and it may get worse. 

 

 

[machotrouts 828]

Okay I think that's now a three-body pile-up since I was last here? Sorry, had a busy August and so did death. Will update soon!

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Had Mr Gorbachev very low down on my selection.

 

Will he tear down my chances of a high finish? 

[gcreptile 10,970]

I hadnt picked neither Olivia, nor Weiskopf, nor Gorbachev, update pleeease!

[Pedro67 232]

1pt for the 3. Keep on breathin’. 

[Philip 121]

Damn I had Gorbachev 

[Sideik 236]

No gorby or weiskopf but 9pts from olivia for me

[Pedro67 232]

Make that 1 point from these 4 hits. Keep breathin’ ya feckers.
