gcreptile 10,234 Posted February 28 Oh dear, popular pick for March, the musician Cat Janice has died. She was an American musician who wasn't exactly a household name - until her advanced cancer diagnosis created a storm. At the time of her death she had 1,9 Million TikTok followers and her final song "Dance outta my head" actually entered the charts. Sad story all around - except for the two players who picked her here - max bossetti ominously scores joker points and Wormfarmer punches his ticket for the next round. livingbygrace 0-9 Therewillbedeaths7 Gooseberry Crumble 0-10 Famous6eva GuyFromFuture 6-3 Liz Lemon Caleb H 7-6 Bibliogryphon Dying Probably 0-16 max bossetti Wormfarmer 6-0 Thatcher Yorkshire Banker 3-9 DeathByArsenic The Immortal 0-0 justonecornetto GreatUncleBulgaria 0-6 Mortal Caso theoldlady 0-0 Baby Blue A bit more than a day remains to enter your team for next month. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well played @Great Uncle Bulgaria And rather better played you, at least some of yours died which is more than any of mine did...good luck in the next round, I've been heavily squonked by Banana twice in recent years so you've saved me from further embarrassment... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting nervous about my match now. Can't find many good names out there and a couple of interesting ones from earlier in the week have not made it to the start line (Quelle surprise!)

Oh Good heavens sorry about the spelling. Not thinking this morning and obviously need a cup of coffee. Yes it can be luck, though I could be putting my own self at a disadvantage because I give myself a rule that the people on my lists are people that I know in some sort of fashion. I just do not feel like putting someone that I never knew of and slapping them on a list because there is a buzz that the person may be on their death beds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,234 Posted March 1 Looks like we've got two no-shows, sadly. So, Cpt, Hemlock and Annami, you're already through. Before I post the match-ups, a few notes on disqualifications and allowed names, just so you know where I'm at. Disqualified: - John Adams (MND), "Awareness raisers" need a national profile according to the rules, the BBC local pages didn't cut it for me. - the mother of the Israeli hostage, well, obviously - Chelsey Reynolds: "Award winning apprentice jockey", I thought "apprentice" is more important than "award-winning", so she's not notable ..yet, so to say. Allowed: I-Ho Pomeroy: "Elected politicians at every level" are allowed as per the rules. I posted a reminder of that rule on the forum when UK councillor Jason Smith died, so I call it the "Jason Smith" rule. Craig Cobane: Probably the name I invested the most time in, and thought about the longest. It did seem to me that the position of the college and the scientific level of Mr. Cobane combined were enough, though just barely. I pretty much automatically allowed everybody with a Wikipedia page. The super-duper old are also in. Basically those who would obit, i.e. not 6th oldest North Dakotan or something. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
