Everybody is on the leaderboard. Treat yourself to a tequila shot at the bar!

 

What will August bring? Apart from grouse shooting. 31 days of frolics on their way!

Rachael Lillis has gone! We can all get a bit Misty when our picks pass away, but who knows how gcreptile is feeling as the only person to pick her, as they Jigglypuff their way up the board.

 

Ash to Ash as they might have never said in Pokemon.

 

Leaderboard updated, no bonuses.

 

Still waiting on anything qualifying for Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, but a risky pick when you haven't got Yahoo! to rely on. Anything spotted will be appreciated.

Rachael Lillis even got a BBC obit, which is a testament to how widely accepted manga/anime stardom is now:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ge9zdve9no

 

I was a little surprised that she was unique here. Maybe people feared she wouldn't QO?

 

Btw, in terms of "franchises", Pokémon, is the biggest of them all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises

 

Bigger than Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Marvel, etc...

Plus, Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff were three of the most marketed Pokemon characters when the series was at its apex of popularity. There's a chance someone could've heard of at least one of them even with zero knowledge of Pokemon.

I think my life would be amazing with a Jigglypuff. I'm an insomniac! Apparently people wake up peaceful and rested which is worth wiping the art work off your face IMO.

This is what I have. Apart from "gotta catch them all", I have no idea about this series at all. 

 

I will set up a Poke Booth though, for a special session of mourning in the bar. ;)

My entire knowledge of Pokemon is down to my goddaughter who is a huge fan. I bought her an Igglybuff when I visited her earlier this year, but I've no idea what an Igglybuff is or why she loves it so!

Gena Rowlands has headed for her 77 Sunset Strip.

 

A Woman Under The Influence of Alzheimers, but also aged a mere 94, she was dropped into The Notebook for Perhaps and Grimgrass and rewards them with a Bonanza of points.

Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall has headed for the Beverly Hills! (This death essentially rules the 98 year old out of the LA Olympics in 2028).

 

A solo hit for RetroGamer47 pulls them out of the bottom pack with their first hit. 

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

As RetroGamer47 has pointed out, in between me updating the leaderboard and this, Afa Anoa'i has begone.

 

A totally Wild double unique in 2 days, making them the ladyfiona of this month so far. Wrestles their way to sidle alongside yours truly on the board.

 

No bonuses.

There's nothing like an old one! 

 

Great Uncle Bulgaria is the only player to score with the world's oldest woman! (Meant in a purely gameplay sort of way, nothing to see here). Maria Branyas Morera disappears from view, but hurtling up the leaderboard comes our most important Womble.

 

With their first proper hit, they play an Ace, meaning a bonus of 5 points. Well done!

Nope-ily dok-ily.

 

DDP eligible obits without the Yahoo! I'm afraid.

 

I mean, I'd love to help of course, but rules are rules. ;)

Do you want Swede with your dinner? Our servers are content to please!

 

Sven-Goran Eriksson has departed the field of play. Yes the man who led England to defeats against Australia, Northern Ireland and a 10 man Brazil was a popular pick, despite shagging three ladies while he was on a free transfer. Ah, but pancreatic cancer will kill you, and subtle rumours spread across the Forum that he was on the way out. Yes, if you picked him, you know who you are!

 

Perhaps picks up a Joker hit, so adding 50 points to their score. Maybe too early to cash it in, as with MariNisia. The Killing Time, TQR, Death Impends and theoldlady lift themselves from the despair of of the bottom of the pack to - er- slightly above the bottom of the pack. Leaving livingbygrace and Gooseberry Crumble languishing, but fear not - a card hit or two and you are back in this game. 

 

Bonuses granted to the following:

 

The Old Crem and The Killing Time both play A Hearts, each gaining 5 additional bonus points.

 

wannamaker has played a pair of Kings - 10 additional points.

 

Wormfarmer has played a pair of 3s - 10 additional points.

 

ladyfiona has played a pair of 10s - 10 additional points.

 

ladyfiona maintains their lead, with Grimgrass nipping at their heels.

 

Leaderboard updated.

There's no way on God's green earth that Lady Saltoun won't get a QO.

Seriously, every influencer with an untimely death and 1+ Million followers will get a QO in this world.

gcreptile and Captain Chorizo, no strangers to the Halls of the Casino, thought - "there's a gun guy with pancan, why not give him a shot?".

 

Their combined accuracy in picking Paul Harrell has earned them another card played, with gcreptile taking second place by a single point.

 

Sometimes it pays to get your head into the darkest recesses of the internet and support the gun lobby. It surprises me by the support of the UK press in publicising this death. But then this is coming from a guy who runs an imaginary Casino!
