The Hartlepool Deadlypool

[Toast 16,130]

WTF is wrong with having an annual thread for each pool?  So much simpler to follow.

WTF is wrong with having a single thread for each pool? So much simpler to follow.

This forum is basically many hundreds of mentalist* bouncing off each others neuroses, seemingly.

 

 

*Not just the depressed folk, OCDs, pathics, list obsessives, aspergers, whatever else etc etc.

I mean this statement is absolutely true but what brought on the musing?

 

Also I'm not sure there's many hundreds of us once you knock off the bots.

I was diagnosed with OCD in my teens. Mine is based around security and safety. Triple checking locks,making sure oven is off and electrical items unplugged etc. I also had hypochondria. Over the years i've managed to curb it and worry less. My family and wife have really helped me through it. I don't think it will ever go 100% , i'm just a natural worrier. If i were a wrestler i'd be the ultimate worrier   

 

Also I think we have a few eccentrics here. I can defo see a few deathlisters in real life being labelled that by their friends and family.

I do appreciate the hanker to keep the old thread on the go but every now and then you need to get a new car/dog/wife.  It will keep the clutter of 2019 away from my efforts soon to really sort out who won last year.  Also I half fancy trying to sort out who won in the year prior to me doing the duties.  To everyone still waiting, sorry. Happy new year. I've updated 90% of the old spreadsheet but won't be entering any pools in 2019. Going to be busy all this next year, but I'll be turning back the clock to the point where it all went wrong and get a host of real answers for 2018 soon.

I'd hate to think of life in terms of work over-whelming you to the point that gargantuan dead pooling talent is lost to the world for good.

 

You'll be back, right?

[Deathray 2,940]

With the greatest respect to @Rotten Ali he hasn't logged in since the 16th January, the period of respecting his right to tally up the scores may well have been stretched at this point at 2 months, I know there was a few hankering to do this so over to you guys...

 I'm still here, I'll get round to it...

That's serious praise - coming from a dead pooler

I'm going to give Rotten Ali another month to round up the scores for 2018 and then - don't all stampede at once - I'll be putting the job out to tender.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

[Death Impends 7,957]

If no one else is able, I should be able to do a scoreboard for 2018. I'd have most likely said no if circumstances were different but currently I'm in the "looking for a job" state which while dreary to be in, does mean I have the extra time. Plus there seems to be a bit of a lull for deadpool-relevant deaths (cue Blanco and Ricksen going tomorrow then), and having my HPDP framework in my Excel file will make rosters/scores for further years smoother to implement.

LotLers are Colin Butts, Elder Roma Wilson, and Morton Sobell (who got suitable obits but his death was not announced until late January 2019).

 

Also @Bibliogryphon only posted his first 9 names publicly but indicated he PMed 10 due to some confusion over Ali's absence. If he still knows who his 10th name was I'd appreciate it.

 

@Sean as far as I can tell never put in new names after Garner/Franco died so I will just bump his subs up to 9th and 10th on his main team and have no sub slots on his team. Similar case with @Prophet but he only had Franco.
