You wait 6 months for an update in this pool, then two come along at once (ok, so not at once, but within a month of each other which counts as "at once" in Jokers Pool years.

 

Two hits that I am aware of since the last update.

+1 Base Point

+1 (Hidden Bonus)

+1 (Ended longest gap between hits)

Only place for me three.

I've still no idea who/what she is (or was) but lots of greater minds than mine seemed to think she was a sure thing so I took heed....

I can't make any promises, but i reckon it will be earlier than the 2020 tally :lol:

 

Now that the Hare's has been sorted, I'm making a start on this one. Should be done within the week.

 

I will also be changing some of the rules for next year to make it a little easier to run. Starting with the number of picks a player can make. 50  picks is too many, from a limited pool of potential selections.

Apologies yet again for the delay in getting the results up. I am awaiting a ruling from @Clorox Bleachman on a matter which will affect the winner of the pool!

 

If I have not heard back by Friday, I will use my own finite wisdom to make a call on it and declare a winner.

Now to reveal the all important hidden bonuses. I will stress at this point that I did not pick the bonuses - they were carried over from the previous competition. So if you have any complaints about the fairness of the bonuses, please feel free to direct them to the previous host(s), who will probably care even less than I do. Do feel free to complain to me if you feel that the bonuses have been applied unfairly or incorrectly. But be warned, I have just introduced a new "Hidden" bonus of minus 20 points for anyone who complains that the bonuses have been applied incorrectly of unfairly:P

 

SECRET BONUSES

 

1.      +1 if they were the first or last person to enter Young Willz (first) and Marinisia (last)

2.      +1 if their list is alphabetical Doulton, Salmon Mousse, Book, Marinisia

3.      +1 if they publicly revealed their teams Everyone, except Young Willz, Bibliogryphon, Msc

4.      -2 if all their wildcards are listed at the top The Unknown Man

5.      +1 for every misspelling in their entry The Old Lady (+1) Hell (+1) GUB (+1) 

6.      +3 if they were born before WW1 Kane Tanaka, Boris Pahor

8. +2 for a DeathList.net alumnus i.e. from 1987-2022 I think I revealed this as I went along - I certainly did towards the end!

9.      +3 if they were born in 1942 or die at the age of 76 (Tom Weiskopf)

10.  +5 if they were from Canada NONE

11.  +5 if they are related to Batman in any way George Perez - allowed by the adjudicator Clorox for his work on some comic or other!

13.  +2 if they were a bass player NONE

14.  +2 if they were a world leader Christos Sartzetakis, Francisco Moralez Bermudez, Queen Elizabet II, Pope Benedict XVI

15.  +2 if they were LGBT NONE

16.  +1 if they were female Lots - I am sure you can figure them out yourself!

17.  -3 if they were in prison at some point Christos Sartzetakis, Boris Pahor (Clorox adjudicated that Concentration camp counted as prison), Lester Piggott, Jerry Lee Lewis

18.  -1 if anyone says any of the bonuses except the given six (Sadly none)

 

PLUS BONUES FOR ANY PICKS AT POSITIONS 2.3.5.6.8.11.13.16.19.21.26.31.34.35.36.41.43.46.47.49.

45.  Vicky Phelan – Wildcard 

46.  Janey Godley

47.  Tim Bilton 

48.  Nehemiah Persoff

49.  Tony Bennett 

50.  Barbara Walters 

 

@The Old Crem, one of the contenders had picked six wildcards at the started of the game. I never noticed it at the time, it was not picked up by anyone else off the masterlist posted, and in typical fashion, it was only discovered at the very last minute.  Of the 6 picks, 5  had scored, with varying points attached, and the decision as to what to do would have an effect on the winner.

I passed the decision onto @Clorox Bleachman. Firstly they decided that it was an honest mistake, so their was no question of disqualification. In their wisdom, they decided that the fairest thing was to pick a name at random to remove the wildcard status from. That name, randomly generated by Clorox, was Vicky Phelan. The other 5 remained as the wildcards.

 

So what effected will that have on the winner? Stay tuned to find out!

A few last bits of house-keeping:

 

Perhaps is deducted 2 point for the most hits in the game, and drops one place in the rankings.

Annami is deduced 5 pints for being in 13th position. It does not affect their position.

Gooseberry Crumble gets +10 points for being in last place. Unsurprisingly, they are still in last place, by a distance :lol:

 

And so, a month after the pool has finished, but approximately 15 months ahead of schedule, I can declare that the winner of the Jokers Pool 2022 is : THE OLD CREM :party:

Congratulations @The Old Crem. Ultimately the victory came down to 2 things. The selection of Barbara Walters which lifted you above the 2 long time leaders, and your luck holding up after Clorox's decision to randomly remove one of the wildcards. Had the random selector chosen Pele, you were down to joint second. Had it selected Kane Tanaka, you were in a tie for first. Small margins eh?
