Prophet 245 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

ThereWillBeDeaths7 612 Posted January 4 Congrats @wannamaker and thanks once again to @Book for running this game. I think this has been my highest result in the DL prediction game so far (4th place). 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,567 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 1,057 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

Glynis Johns received votes from me and the Committee, however Beckenbauer scored for the opposition without reply and Draper was just not Deathlisty enough for me to pick him - but the Committee did!

Book 3,365 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.

YW - 1; DL - 3. I'll be Frank, I expected the Committee to pick Frank Field, but they didn't and I did, which allows a small measure of catch up.

And it seems like Frank Field is the one and only hit in March and April for the Prediction Game... what a drought at the moment... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
