The Hartlepool Deadlypool

[Magere Hein 1,400]

Let's not jump to conclusions. It's good to think about this, but there's no reason to expect fraud ATM.

 

Perhaps we must set a deadline, say 8 January 0:00 UT or the first death, whichever is first.

 

regards,

Hein

If it's going to be a problem, I'll retract my team.

 

Don't be silly - you are in, and with a jolly good team too.

Well this is jolly isn't it?

Do people want the Deadlyboard back online? Doesn't really seem necessary. It can all be done here.

I'll post the rules and the scoring system for you to argue about as soon as I can find them. It'll be the 2011 ones.

If you're going to do that, I'll need time to compose a list.

HPDP 2012

 

1 – Abdelbaset al-Megrahi Eve Arnold

 

[Rotten Ali 600]

Can't do any changes on the fly Guys... I've got copies of the original entries...

[Tuber Mirum 125]

Apparently there were no rules in 2011.

 

Here are the 2010 ones.

 

And here is the scoring system.

Mr Notapotato's (*cough*) taste in Wallpaper was indeed occasionally somewhat inclined to vividity.

 

There appears to be a certain amount of confusion between the Deadlyboard Forum and the Hartlepool Deadlypool site.

 

To reactivate the forum would be easy but seems unnecessary. Updating the website would involve an enthusiastic person taking over the domain (or registering another suitable name) and working out the scores and publishing them.

 

Mr Hein did once talk of writing a database to calculate them automatically.

[Rotten Ali 600]

Interesting to note that on the 9th of Jan the 2012 Ad-Hoc HPDP had it's first leader.

msc's hit with M.B. Sanha. 5pts basic + unique bonus of 2pts. Can't see that he commited any crimes against humanity.

 

Then on the 14th of Jan we had a new leader... The Unknown Man with the 25 basic points gained from the death of Dame Lesley Strathie + 2pt unique bonus.

However bonuses multiply with one 5th of the score.

Score was 25pts, hence 25/5 = 5, 5x2 = 10 bonus points are awarded.

 

And then today's news of Etta James Death has provided points for 9 teams.

It could have been that she was on Hollywood Squares but I've checked the list that shows those who have been on twice or more and there was no sign of her.

 

So the leader board looks like this:

 

1st, The Unknown Man's 2nd hit gives a leading score of 80 points.

 

Joint 2nd, Magere Hein = 50 points

Joint 2nd, angryGreatness = 50 points

Joint 2nd, STAB-in-the-DARK = 50 points

 

Joint 5th, Windsor the Troll = 45 points

Joint 5th, Toast = 45 points

Joint 5th, est 1993 = 45 points

 

8th, Bert Trautmann = 40 points

9th, Godot = 30 points

10th, Maryportfuncity = 10 points

11th, msc = 7 points

Any chance you could do my tax form?

[Rotten Ali 600]

Sorry, no chance. I'm having a hell of a time at the moment, since I'm in the throws of pressing on with just doing my own. Each year it's the same, I hate them too.

[Rotten Ali 600]

Est1993 has points due for the death of Joe Paterno the other day.

2nd, Est1993 = 73 points

Hell. Fucking. Yes.

[Estuarian Float 97]

And Spinetta points for me?

[Rotten Ali 600]

Yes, good spot, however only 20 basic points. Bonus points = 2 for unique hit. Times 1 fifth of scored points, so that's 28 points on the way. That push, puts you top, now on 101 points.

Are you sure you're calculating the scores correctly?

Remember: when a candidate dies, the remaining ones have their score shifted up or down accordingly. So that if they all die in the right order, they all get 50 points.

[Rotten Ali 600]

Guess I'm doing as per - but you can check these working...

 

Est1993 started with the following...

 

50-45-40-35-30 Megrahi,

45-__-__-__-__ Etta James,

40-45-40-35-30 Besse Cooper,

35-40-35-30-__ Gary Carter,

30-35-30-25-30 Robin Gibb,

25-30-25-20-25 Jaruzelski

20-25-20-15-20 Zhuang Zedong

15-20-__-__-__ Joe Paterno

10-15-20-__-__ Luis Alberto Spinetta

05-10-15-20-25 Chinua Achebe

[Tuber Mirum 125]

That seems to be very much in the Spirit of the Hartlepool Deadlypool, in that it is completely incomprehensible.

Don't forget to be belligerently arbitrary as well.

 

Help me please: in what order did those four die?

[Rotten Ali 600]

James, Paterno, Spinetta and Carter...

 

Simples...

As per the space after the score...

 

Is it me?

[Tuber Mirum 125]

I understand it now. Each vertical column is the potential score after each consecutive death. I wish I'd done it that way instead of just changing the numbers in one column every time.
