Hilariously, over half of this team never ran for President:

This is my team. I changed the theme after the first year to a generic Dem politicians theme but I suppose nobody running the game ever noticed. Long as it doesn't impact the points, I've never minded too much.

Good to see the two who nearly made my Dames teams, Mary Peters and Esther Rantzen have both popped up on other teams.

Zero Hit's Wishlist


Jan Svankmajer
Adrian Street
Afa Anoa'i
Ana Ofelia Murguia
Bull Nakano
Christiane F
Dario Argento
Dump Matsumoto
Elsa Cardenas
Guillermo Vilas
Werner Herzog
Julia Vera
Julieta Serrano
Kourosh Yaghmaei
Linda Perhacs
Ney Matogrosso
Pepe Soriano
Sergio Chamy
Shin Jung-hyeon
Yoon Jeong-hee

There's another double entry for Julieta Serrano - correctly as https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_S.html#serraj

 

But also here for some reason not as above but as Julietta Serrano https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_S.html#serranj023

 

Both are the same person but shown as uniques for both teams, so this needs tidying.

I could see the list of the lost being quitter this year. There doesn’t seem to be as many picks which feel unlikely to get a Q/O.

If you exclude the entirety of WEP’s pointless entry of [very] obscure foreign actresses.

In 2020, Reptile was quick to suggest he took one batch and I'd take the next batch of new names, to add into the database. I twigged after agreeing that he'd given me the batch with WEP's 2020 additions! Leading to descriptions like this. And this

 

To make up for this, Reptile took the WEP names in 2021 and I had the porn star team to deal with. Which led to the moment where I absent mindedly told Mrs msc that I'd sort out dinner "in five minutes as I have to finish off three porn stars first". 

 

She knew it was DDP related. Still took the piss for weeks!

I think this year’s Not Gone Yet but Still forgotten stands a good chance of a hit with a decent Q/O chance with Maria Branyas Morera.

 

Going through all the picks and I’m surprised Jeanette Charles is a unique for a team despite how many times she is mentioned on this forum.

I retired from the DDP this year as it's no longer something I enjoy, but it's sad to see a few of my past uniques haven't been carried over this year.

Notably:

Kim Weston (wiki), soul singer who duetted with Marvin Gaye in "It Takes Two", turning 84 this year with a bad history of serious health issues.

Eddie Stobart (wiki), haulage giant who has disappeared from the face of the earth in recent years, turning 94 in April.

And another.

 

Jimmie Walker correctly listed here: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_W.html#walkji

 

but also listed as Jimmy Walker here: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_W.html#walkerj023

 

Both the same comic actor, both listed as uniques and therefore needs changing.

A few notes:

In the interest of 100% accuracy, DCAU Demises is actually a DC Animated Universe theme team, not the live-action DC Cinematic as the description currently says. I did make a DC Cinematic team, too, but I thought the Animated team was more interesting. (And less likely to be 100% punts).

 

I think Steve Wojciechowski is supposed to be the NHL player known as Steve Wochy, not the basketball coach. At least... there'd be no reason for a centenarians team to pick the basketball guy.

I had 13 uniques on my theme team and 16 uniques on my Unusual Suspects team

 

My I Cannot Believe they're Not Deader team has six drop 40 names on it (no uniques)

Thank you all for your discoveries! The game now hopefully includes all of them (so far).

The scoreboard will be updated completely tomorrow (but it has begun!).

 

For the people who want to assist with the photos, it's coming soon!

As always, I'm pleasantly surprised just how few issues there are, relative to the size of the monster that is the DDP.

 

Glad to see we are on our way, well done to the DDP Committee for all your hard work (and hard work to come).

 

There will of course be much sorrow as the world loses our beloved celebs, never forget their contribution. Those hated celebs however...well, meh.

Mr Reptile has earned himself a beer.

Mr Reptile has only earned half a beer from me so far - Jim Norton is now the right Jim Norton (or to put it another way, you've addressed him by his proper title, you little bollocks), but Paul Young, the Still Game actor, has been rechristened John Young (who was his dad, who died in 1996).

Hello.

 

Many thanks to the DDP admins.

 

Some housekeeping:

SPORTSPEOPLE I THINK MIGHT DIE IN 2023:

Bill Gates is the former Middlesbrough footballer and not the vaccine-microchipping computer illuminatus.

Dave Watson is the former England international (b. 10/46) and not the goalkeeping coach.

Dick Savitt is completely correct, I'm just bringing him up because I got a unique hit.

 

PEOPLE I THINK MIGHT DIE IN 2023:

Michael Fish is the designer of the kipper tie and my lone recurring unique and not the weatherchap.

 

Salut!

 

 

On the other hand, the Michael Fish in my Well done if you got these at home team is the weatherman. It's also a theme team.

Can someone explain how Katie Brickell was allowed as pick when in 2021 she was on the list of rejected picks and described as 100% FFBI? Has she increased her fame level?

At a glance, no. Looks a case of slipping through the cracks due to her already being in the system. She was caught for 2021 but looks like she was there for all of 2022 without any of us noticing.

The good news being that's road tested her ability to draw ranter fire.

Just started my annual trawl of the DDP cross referencing it with my own 1000+ Name longlist and I noticed that Helena Bonham-Carter is out of order

 

She is listed at the bottom of the B listing. At first I thought she should have been in the Cs but she should be much further up

I was sure I had put Gianluca Vialli in this game too, but I didn't, how angry
King Constantine is still not updated on the scoreboard as dead? I didn't find him in the dead list and I still have 0 points despite having him
