maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 28, 2006 Handy; much as I like the humour in the bonus points for surviving a night in hospital it is - surely - a hostage to fortune to have that rule. Some celebs would be easy, I mean Sharon survives every night until he dies. Ronnie Biggs also, but some others could be confusing, does going in and out for a minor op in a day count? What about those famous enough for paper obits, ill enough to count and suffering from diseases away from the public eye. For example; I'm sure Lindsey Hughes - academic - will die of cancer soonish. But nobody is following her in and out of hospital. I don't even know if she'll die in a hospital, hospice or at home. Collating the points on that could be hard. But she's celebrated enough to get a national obit when she goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted November 28, 2006 If you can prove it you get the points, if you can't you don't. Another example of deadpools going too far. It's only a game and I think Hans rule is a good one for keeping the game going in between deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted November 28, 2006 Ok, my rules for 2007 are up. Nothing's changed significantly but there are a couple of tweaks. I'm not taking entries yet but thought I'd post the rules in advance. The "any one" bonus point rule is excellent. I'd go for any one Russian dissident now living in London. Or is that too big a pool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 28, 2006 How about any one Albanian famous enough to get a broadsheet obit in the UK? In other words, in the unlikely event that two such Albanians died in 2007 you could only claim the 'any one' bonus on the first death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest_Star Crossed_* Posted November 28, 2006 I was going to join, H, but my IP address has been temporarily banned from lj for exceeding the "incorrect login" thing. I can't be arsed to think up a Username with which I'll be happy in the long-term, or indeed write down another set of login details on a scrap of paper which I'll subsequently lose, so I was trying to post in your journal, as you, and guessed your password as... bugsindrag docwhosux handrejka but none of them were your password, so it banned me. Thing is, I can refresh my IP by just switching my router on/off. I haven't done that for ages though, because it just seems unfair to the router, doesn't it? It's doing a good job, routing stuff, so why switch it off? Besides which, it would be less fun for MH if he didn't know it was me castigating mpfc every now and then.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted November 28, 2006 How about any one Albanian famous enough to get a broadsheet obit in the UK? In other words, in the unlikely event that two such Albanians died in 2007 you could only claim the 'any one' bonus on the first death. I can think of at least two straight off, and I'm not including "Honorary Albanian" Sir Norman Wisdom either. EDIT To save you asking, Leka, Crown Prince of Albania (King Zog's son) and Sali Berisha, the current President. Also a few footballers too, most notbaly Shefki Kuqi & Rudi Vata Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 19, 2006 Re any one from..... Is any one from Deep Purple okay? Mistakenly posted this query on the DDP thread. 12 musicians have been a genuine Deep Purple at one time, one of them is long dead so, in effect, I'm saying one from the five there at the moment and the six former members.
