Windy City Deadpool 2023-2024

Recommended Posts

Ah, April. As the weather gets warmer, the DDP hits get fewer.

But - not to fret - as the Windy City Deadpool is here to save us all from a summer of deadpooling boredom!

 

Basics:

Pick a team of 21 people.

The higher their rank, the more points they get when they die and obit.

Submit it to me via PM or on this thread, by the end of April.

 

Scoring System:

1st pick: 500 points

2nd pick: 450 points

3rd pick: 400 points

4th pick: 350 points

5th pick: 300 points

6th pick: 275 points

7th pick: 250 points

8th pick: 225 points

9th pick: 200 points

10th pick: 180 points

11th pick: 160 points

12th pick: 140 points

13th pick: 120 points

14th pick: 100 points

15th pick: 85 points

16th pick: 70 points

17th pick: 55 points

18th pick: 50 points

19th pick: 45 points

20th pick: 40 points

21st pick: 21 points

As you can see the margin slowly decreases from 50 to 25 to 20 to 15 to 5 until the 21st pick.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by whoever has the most unique hits.

 

Bonus Points

Scrapping the old bonus system,I am gonna borrow from the now defunct Doug Stanhope Deadpool and every month will have unique scoring bonus for qualifying notables

 

Each Month's Theme gives the oppurtunity for  a 50 Point Bonus

 

May-Memorial Day(Any  notables who served in any countries military at some point)

June-Pride Month(Any LGBTQ  notables)

July-Hemingway to Hell(In honor of Ernest Hemingway who's death and birth was in this month,any writers  or journalist notables get bonus points)

August-Summer in Europe(Any  current or former head of state's from a EU Country)

September- Sporting Sportsballers(Ie Athletes/coaches,commentators,owners ie notables associated with sport)

October- Spooktober(People generally considered evil.IE Murderer's,War criminals/Kissinger,Paedo's,rapists etc)                

November-Neighborly Neighborino's (Since the Windy City (ie Chicago) is in the Usa,bonus points to any notable deaths of Russian's,Mexican's,Canadian etc ie anyone from a country that border's some part of the Usa)

December- Santa's Choice(Bonus this month go to any religious leaders or  someone who has played Santa Claus,Mrs. Claus,Rudolph or an Elf in tv or film)

January-Joint Jumpin January(Ie musicians,songswriter,music producers ,music journalist ie associated with music)

February-Black History Month(Ie any black celebs/notables)

March-Oscar Month(Since the Oscar's are typically in March this a film themed month.Anyone who has been nominated for an Oscar/Bafta film award,or Directed a film in competition at Cannes,Berlin,Sundance.Venice etc or any other major festival  qualifies for this bonus)

April-Wrestmania Month(Ie Wrestlers or anyone associated with wrestling)

 

The only 2 bonsuses to return are

Youngest Hit Bonus-100 Points

Hit in last 7 days -77 points

 

Acceptable Obits:

Anything accepted by the Derby Dead Pool, plus The Independent.

Plus the following national American news sources:

- New York Times

- LA Times

- CBS News

- Chicago Tribune

-Wall Street Journal

 

Plus the following International news sources:

http://www.cbc.ca/
https://www.theaustralian.com.au/
http://www.heraldscotland.com/

https://www.univision.com/

 

* Cancer Mum's/Athlete's Wives(IE Tiffany Youngs) and other Famous For Being Ill Types will not be accepted even if they get a qualifying Obit

 

*Some name's may appear like  a gray area(ie Roz Patterson).Notable in her Native Country as a reporter and would easily get a QO with a plane crash or auto accident type death.However if none of her QO obits mention her journalistic career and is just an angle about her being a Cancer Mum then no points will be awarded.     

 

*Relatives of the famous (Since there was a bit of confusion last year  even if the relative of a famous person has some type of professional credit,unless their obit specifically mention them in a professional role that reasonably a person obits from it will be a non QO obit .   For example if Tom Cruise Nephew/Brother/Dad etc.  Bob Cruise was a Gaffer,Best Boy,Photgrapher/Hairdresser/Caterer or had a Vanity Producers Credit on a Mission Impossible Behind The Scenes Doc on IMDb  that still not a high enough bar even if they get a DailyMail copypasta .Those specific behind the scenes industry occupations never are noted unless they are related to someone famous. However if a Bob Cruise has professional acting/writing etc credits where they may land an Obit even if they were related to nobody famous then they are acceptable. Any questions just ask

 

 

Duration:

The competition lasts from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024

Get your team in before Big Ben welcomes the month of May.

Teams can be sent either through pm or posted in this thread

A lot of these prematurely posted lists include at least 10 of my picks, in a different order to mine. So for the record, I haven’t copied or took note of a single one of these. Although with 2 weeks to go it’s still subject to change. 

 

Can we make it deathlist law that all lists need to be PM’d before any pool goes live?

Eh, I don’t see the issue with public lists at all. You can easily just skim them over and if a name is revealed publicly oh well. Not the end of the world

To me it’s not really a problem because I have my own mind. However I’m sure there’s a handful of opportunistic poolers that will be eager to see which picks to hijack for themselves. Even if there isn’t, it eliminates the possibility. 

 

Not a big deal really. I think it’s interesting to see who has been picked/where they fall on other people’s rankings without any potential outside influence on the day a pool goes live. 

 

Maybe I take it too seriously :biggrin:

On the contrary, I know all these names. Can people post more secret names publicly instead? I need all the help I can get these days.

I'm just watching what people put in and then at the last minute may change one or two.

I don't like seeing publicly posted lists. I try not to look but it's difficult not to be influenced. 

Couldn't people put their lists into spoiler tags until the start?

I think it is down to each game runner

 

For Scavenger Hunt I insist on DMs only as uniques are a big part of the game and it requires quite a bit of research for each category but I am much more sanguine on the other games

Biblio, who is William Rogers in this list? I've done a Google search and all I can find is the First Secretary of State who died way back in 2001.

British Politician who left the Labour Party in the early eighties to found the SDP. Now Lord Rodgers
