Prophet 250 Posted January 4 I had a strong feeling that they will go for Ken Livingstone after his recent Alzheimer diagnosis, as he's easily among the Top 10 most well known political figures in the UK and is exactly the kind of name they usually chose. I mean it would be to early to include him but so were many names on prior Deathlists. I'm kind of surprised to see that I was the only one who had him in mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,664 Posted January 4 Congratulations @wannamaker, a superb performance given the high number of new entries! A predictably average performance from me, I could have scored so many more if I'd known they were going to listen to people for a change! Excellent performance from you too @Great Uncle Bulgaria! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,252 Posted January 5 Congrats @Wannamaker Pleasantly surprised to be on the rostrum, although I'm usually slightly less bad at the ones that don't involve correctly predicting who is going to die. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Book 3,511 Posted March 2 It's the second of March and I think it's time for the first view on the hits between January and February. The DL got off to a brilliant start - and we did the same. There were also a few more hits, for example the obvious Jonnie Irwin. Also interesting is Toby Keith, who was taken by a total of 5 players - but only as a sub for three! The situation is similar for Alexej Navalny and therefore very bitter for TQR, because he only had both as subs and could've taken the lead. But it's not all that bad, because you know: This isn't about anything anymore Hits so far: 01. Derek Draper (15.08.1967 – 03.01.2024) (1 player): DL 2024, Prophet 02.

Book 3,511 Posted June 1 Please move on, there is nothing to see here! I can't believe that it's June and we only got 4 hits since March and 12 in total – but it is what it is, a drought all over the deadpools, lists and games. Or maybe I have just overlooked some deaths? Please tell me and I will correct the standing immediately! As far as I can see, we do have the following hits: 01.

Book 3,511 Posted August 1 Next Update: Oh wow, June and July were really productive in our Prediction Game. We have 8 hits (and the DL has one more!) and 2 of them were chosen by 20 and 21 players respectively: Shannen Doherty and Bob Newhart. The rankings have also changed a bit. All players can now score hits and I'm leading the whole thing. Thank you for your attention, the game ends here now As far as I can see, we do have the following hits: 01.
