Points for me and many many others (I hope) with Burt Bacharach.

I am once again posting a team on behalf of my mother. We had to go for a drive, so I printed the list off and sat in the passenger seat talking a ranking out of her.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is dead.

 

We probably should be getting a leaderboard up @machotrouts. Thanks in advance.

@Sir Creep, your receipt:

 

2022: 5lbs of coffee for everyone in this game if any of your top 10 died (Gorbachev, your no.7, died) - 235lbs

2023: 5lbs or coffee for everyone who did not pick Sakamoto if he died - 220lbs.

 

Total due: 455lbs of coffee.

 

Note to mods: “Debt: 455lbs and counting” might be a good new rank for him.

Can anyone suggest the name of a good foodbank in Detroit that Sir C could donate this coffee to, if the logistics of transporting it across the globe is what's stopping him from responding?

Yeah, a few of us have mentioned donating the winnings to a food bank, no joy.

Sorry, just took a couple of months' leave from the forum in the hope of seeding a rumour that I was secretly Burt Bacharach. Did it work?

 

Here, because I haven't posted it yet, is the complete list of Inverse Dead Pool 2023 candidates, ranked by the total number of points you've all assigned them. The top and bottom halves are colour-coded – the green half is what your team would look like if you were the exact statistical average Inverse Dead Pool player, and the red half is what your team would look like if you didn't read the rules properly.

 

    TOTAL POINTS # OF TEAMS
1 Donald Trump 1147 49
2 Vladimir Putin 916 48
3 Ozzy Osbourne 841 48
4 Bill Cosby 834 44
5 Clint Eastwood 817 45
6 Billy Connolly 806 48
7 Phil Collins 799 45
8 Buzz Aldrin 780 46
9 Dick Van Dyke 749 44
10 Rupert Murdoch 710 44
11 David Attenborough 609 42
12 Shane MacGowan 594 39
13 Prunella Scales 531 43
14 Mel Brooks 496 44
15 Willie Nelson 488 43
16 Yoko Ono 457 39
17 Burt Bacharach 392 39
18 Randy Jackson 368 35
19 Shannen Doherty 353 33
20 Linda Nolan 266 28
21 Tony Bennett 257 26
22 Janey Godley 248 27
23 Rhod Gilbert 228 26
23 Stanley Baxter 228 32
25 Tim Bilton 202 23
26 Francoise Hardy 195 21
27 Bobby Charlton 176 22
28 Harry Belafonte 169 20
29 Henry Kissinger 162 16
30 Eva Marie Saint 161 25
31 Roberta Flack 146 14
32 Ted Kaczynski 134 16
33 Kate Keltie 127 20
34 Jimmy Carter 115 13
35 Andy Taylor 97 16
36 Bob Barker 81 11
37 Glynis Johns 67 13
38 Rob Burrow 58 7
38 Larry Pressler 58 8
40 Frank Field 55 5
41 Johnny Ruffo 51 11
42 Ryuichi Sakamoto 49 4
43 Rolf Harris 46 3
44 Joanne Woodward 44 9
45 George Alagiah 41 3
46 Jonnie Irwin 37 2
47 Nigel Starmer-Smith 31 5
48 Steve McMichael 22 3
49 Simon Cowell (wildlife) 10 2
50 James Whale 4 1


For the second year running, our healthiest candidate is Donald Trump, who is not only picked by 49 out of 50 players – omitted only by my mum's wishful thinking team – but receives the maximum 25 points from 38 of them. Inverse Dead Poolers have banked a collective 1147 points on his survival, not far short of the potential maximum of 1250. With Vladimir Putin also being declared hale and hearty by the community, it looks like the Russian bot infilitration of Deathlist is a success.

 

2023's statistical fuckedest candidate is James Whale, with only 4 points donated by @Great Uncle Bulgaria to the cause of Whale conservation. Still, 2022's fuckedest candidate, Frank Field – who had a total of 1 point last year – is not only still with us, but apparently doing 55 times better this year. Hospice care really works!


(Burt Bacharach and Ryuichi Sakamoto obits/updates coming ASAP.)

Open the Pearly Gates, Hal

 

Austin Powers, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and Austin Powers in Goldmember star Burt Bacharach has died at the age of 94. In addition to his film career, he was also known as the tunes-composing half (i.e. the important half) of a songwriting partnership with lyricist Hal David, with whom he wrote the greatest hits of the 1960s and 70s, including 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' (unfortunately, correct), 'I Say a Little Prayer' (unfortunately, he needed a big one), 'Only Love Can Break a Heart' (unfortunately, so can being 94 years old), and 'They Long to Be Close to You' (unfortunately, "They" refers to maggots).

 

Lyrics jokes would be more apt for a Hal David obit, but rest assured that I am typing this very melodically.

 

Raindrops are falling on a lot of players' heads, but that doesn't mean your eyes will soon be turning red. Unfortunately, your names on the leaderboard will, not least that of our first player to lose their 25-pointer: my mum. Of course, she did some talking to her son, and she said she didn't like the way I got things done.

 

There are many more Tragic Moments on our inaugural leaderboard: 20 points for @MariNisia, 17 for faded ex-Inverse champ @TQR, 16 for 2023 debutantes @CalebH and @TheSpinosaurus (hello anyway) plus @wannamaker (wannamake it easy on yourself?), and 15 points for @Sir Creep. Never mind, I'm sure the next update will be better for him.
