As a wee aside - how do some people know how many teams have picked a particular celeb?

 

Thanks

Because they have all the teams and are collating a database.

I guess she just doesn't make the starting line for me, as I've already exhausted my three sub picks on Pele, Benedict XVI and the disallowed Natalie Fornasier. Maybe a first in Deadpool history? Certainly a dubious distinction, if so.

It has happened before, starting with less that 20 players. But your combination of disqualified/dead after submission/dead off the radar, but before the game is up, is unique.

The starting gate?  What the hell date do you think the starting gate is/was?  
Now don’t come at Sir Creep, he would be happy to allow a sub at any time of the year if you discover a person was dead.  However, that is NOT the way it’s been run; you get a day or two tops.  I played with 19 two years ago in a very similar situation.

List of the Missed. Somewhat surprisingly to me, she was only ever picked in 2021, thought she'd be a youngish punt pick more often.

I don’t think she was seen by many as someone with a high risk of dying young.

Just confirming that the committee is now working on the celeb data entry for 1,091 new celebs. No ETA yet on official release, but if all goes as planned should be about a week's wait?

I am not sure, which topic is for a pick from 2021, who died in 2022, but in some kind, she is a candidate for the List of the Missed, I think?

Kajsa Telander, Swedish author, has died back in November 2022.

I can go ahead and edit her in to the 2022 LotM page since it has no impact on the completed game.
