The DL Prediction Game 2023

[Book 3,561]

Welcome to this fine competition to predict the frontpage of this site:

The DeathList Prediction Game 2023!

 

 

But what is it all about? It's not that hard:

 

What do you think the official DeathList 2023 will look like?

Which celebrities will be chosen by the Committee in which order?

Please tell us by picking 50 celebrities listing them from No.1 to No. 50.

 

 

This is the scoring system:

 

+10 points for the exact position

+5 points if the person is on the DL 2023 but 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 positions away from the original position

+4 points if the person is on the DL 2023 but 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 positions away from the original position

+3 points for every newcomer who also entered the DL 2023

+2 points for every returnee who entered the DL again

+1 point if the person is on the DL 2023 but more than 10 positions away from the original position

0 points for unique picks

-3 points for every pick who is not listed at the DL 2023

 

Please name 3 extra names/subs in order of priority.

Just in case that the replacement is taken, please tell me in which (any) place the sub should be placed. The other places automatically move up or down and close the gap if necessary.

 

The player with the most points will win the DL Prediction Game.

 

Please send me your DL Prediction Top 50 plus 3 subs through a new PM until 31.12.2022 at 22:59 CET (mainland Europe time 21:59 GMT).

 

All entries are welcome if they include 50 different people in a chosen order from No. 1 to No. 50 and 3 subs.

 

Thanks for joining (again)!

But if you continue to increase like this, you will reach +10 in the next year!

[Dying Probably 579]

Hold on, let me think...

 

1) Old, not dying

2) Ill, not dying
3) WTF why are they on here, dies
4) Sensible, dies

5) Tat, not dying

6) More tat, not dying

7) Even more tat, not dying

.

50) Even even even even even even even more tat, dies

A little reminder that you still can predict the next DeathList.

I know, everyone's waiting on Pelé...

Waiting for Pele to die is over.

 

I've submitted my entry by PM, @Book, hope you have this.

 

Thanks for running again.

[Book 3,561]

To everyone who has already submitted a team:

Please let me know (if you haven't done so) where your next sub should be placed.

If I don't get any information, the sub moves up to position 50. I can't write to everyone now

[RoverAndOut 4,746]

I'm still mulling over entering this. Haven't had as much time to weigh up the contenders this year, and only started putting together a prediction yesterday. Since when, Pope Benny and Barbara Walters have both fallen by the wayside, which has disheartened me - more work! Betty last year, Benny and Barbara this year - what is about the Bs cocking things up at the 11th hour?!

 

Might do a bit more pondering and see if a list starts coming together...

[Book 3,561]

Feel free to enter again @RoverAndOut

I would be glad.

But I know what you mean: It would have been great if Pelé had gone from 41 to 1 and Benedict XVI had re-entered to 2. A lot of movement in the DL. Now I could imagine that it remains rather static at the top.

 

 

Otherwise: Last official reminder to name a replacement or its placement for Benedict XVI

Ramshackle team submitted. Let's see if I can get close to my decent predictions in the past 2 years! 

[YoungWillz 21,071]

Dunno what's going on, but apparently there are reveals going on the DL main page.

 

I suggest that any entries received after Rover's be disqualified.

[YoungWillz 21,071]

Here's my team submitted and brought to Book (geddit?). Pope dying was annoying, added Kureishi. Nothing like the crazy DL Committee list, so I may do badly on the initial score, but who knows? I beat them with my personal list in 2022.

[The Daredevil 1,189]

@BookI think I got 122 points this year if that helps?

 

I got positions for Bennett, R. Carter, Gall, Kundera, Laine, Marcos and Taylor spot on!

[Summer in Transylvania 2,192]

@Book echoing The Daredevil, I think I managed 88 points, although this may need double-checking. I hope this can be of some help. 

[TQR 14,408]

I’m hopeful for a huge minus again!

Just for info: I will most likely not be able to do the evaluation until the middle of next week, please be patient. Thanks!

 

At the moment I don't have access to my PC, so I can only do the evaluation on Wednesday or Thursday. Thank you for your patience.

With a little delay, I am now submitting the result of this year's DL Prediction Game!

 

And the winner is... @The Daredevil! Congratulations!

 

Overall, many participants achieved very good results, even TQR!

Last year msc won with 79 points - this year this number of points would only have been enough for 7th place (which msc also achieved, haha, but with a good 66 points).

Remarkable: The Daredevil and TomTomTelekom each correctly predicted 7 places and received 10 points each! You can see that in the end result! Wow!

But maybe that also means the DL has become far too predictable...think about it...

 

Thanks to all participants! It's my pleasure as always!

(I'll give you the distribution of points later so you can do the math ).

Congrats @The Daredevil!!

 

Happy with 3rd place, angry at the fact that if i had placed pedo Sidney Cooke at 48 I would've gotten more points for Andy Taylor and Shane MacGowan.

Congrats Daredevil, thanks for running Book

Thank you all. 

 

Yes, going from last place in 2022 to first place this year is rather worthy of congratulations I guess. In all fairness though, this is the first year I didn’t use my Shadowlist for submission in this game, I created a specific DL prediction list (which will let me down in the side game this year if it goes ahead).

 

@Book Do I get a place on the Hall of Fame for 2023?
