qustion is what has happened to Mr.Stats? That remains

a mystery but really he only had 105 posts which isen't

to much to bragg about though i hear for posting he was

good at what he did. Then there is also Weatherman90

who has also disapeared without a trace. I noticed that

all of his top 4 canidates to die this year which is in his signiture

are still living. I'm guessing that once one of them takes there

last breath then Weatherman will return to the DL with great

sucsess. Why? Maybe lack of attention,Wanting to gain popularity

in which that he has. It all remains unsolved but just think if

none of these deathlist regulers return there are always the

ones to come..

We already clarified what happened to Stats.

 

As regards Weatherman he was never terribly popular and is unlikely to become it, particularly if Lady Bird Johnson were to snuff it.

 

He disappeared because he was getting quite a bit of abuse from some members. Hardly surprising given his choice of avatar.

 

He was also very keen on asking impertinent questions..

 

(PS: well done mods! Best bit of abuse I have seen for quite some time! )

Indeed, I believe Windsor was attempting to become the new "Mr Stats". He often posts somewhat obsessively about exactly how many people have died compared to previous years, how many total deaths we have had since 1987, and other such statistics.

 

Maybe the original Statto will put him firmly in his place.

Bugger - I suppose that leaves me unemployed on deathlist now then.

I was always led to believe that Mr. Stats didn't actually exist.

Yes, he was something of a legendary figure, whose name was spoken only in hushed tones and with due reverence. Whether he truly ever existed was a matter of conjecture; sifting through old threads appeared to support his existence, but many leading figures of the day pronounced that such a wise and statistically erudite being could only possibly have been a godlike figure, created specifically by the Death List itself to justify its existence.

 

Or maybe he's just a bald bloke from Bognor Regis.

Right....thanks for clearing that up.

Are you saying my explanation wasn't good enough for you? Or are you still jealous of Mr Stats usurping your position?

[Windsor 2,143]

Actually I couldn't think of anything else to say and I wanted my 700th post.

 

Besides - Mr.Stat's pint of milk (whatever) will not last forever, he shall have to venture out again for who knows how long. Unless ofcourse he gets a home help.

[sympathyforthedevil 11]

Forgive me for saying something blasphemous, but I believe the role of Mr. Stats has been somewhat overexaggerated.

 

I have looked through his old posts and only very rarely are they of a statistical nature. For this reason, I was wondering whether anyone here could clear up exactly why he deserves his particular moniker?

 

Cheers,

 

s.f.t.d.

If no one can think of a reason, I want to be the new stats man. (shotgun)

[Magere Hein 1,397]

No, no, no.

 

No.

 

Mr. Stats is to remain Mr. Stats.

 

Besides, I'm also of a statistical bent, so when there's a vacancy I want to apply for the job.

 

No.

F**k.

So I basically continue to be a complaining little twat?

I have decided to withhold my reply to this, for the present time.

[VileBody 11]

Perhaps this thread could be combined with the Euthanasia one since we sound like a lot of mad old biddies in the rest home

 

"What happened to so-and-so?"

 

"Ooo i don't know, dear, I think he's passed on - I'm 87, you know, and my Alf fought at Gallipoli"

 

"Young people today, eh? Have you done your lottery yet?"

 

"I'm 87"

Mr. Stats does a lot of behind the scenes work, and in late December generates a master list of contenders which is used by the DL Committee to select the 50 names for the following year. Might be an idea to make things a bit more democratic this time around and get input from the Mods and the regular (and non-insane) posters as part of that process, although that type of decision is probably up to the DL CEO.

 

And Windsor, if you'd like to carry out with your polls (or wait, is that Millwall?) and statistcal analyses, from my perspective please feel free to continue.

On the topic of "where is xxxx?", Mr Notapotato is a bit quiet of late.

TF - Id be tempted to give you warning for brown-nosing...if I didn't enjoy your complimentary comments so much

[Banshees Scream 107]

But I genuinely do have faith in those doing the selecting.

I'm sure they give it much brain.

Well atleast a good majority of the time anyway..

[VileBody 11]

I entirely agree with the above - there's no place for democracy in a primitive society.

 

My vote goes for benign dictatorship...er...oh booger....
