weatherman90 7 Posted February 11, 2006 Hello Fellow Deathlisters. Although a bit late, I have decided to start my own deathpool. You can read all about it on THIS page. The pool begins on March 31, 2006 and will end on March 31, 2007. This is a chance to finally start a new pool with all the picks that you forgot to pick last time! Good luck to all who join!

Banshees Scream 110 Posted February 11, 2006 Using the Deathlist to advertise? - Although is that legal? If I wanted to create a thread involving used CD's and DVD's for sale purposes would that be permitted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How strange that a link to a dead pool doesn't belong in the Wiki Dead Pool entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely internal links don't need to be notable, If obscure Danish Rock bands and unknown elementary schools get their own page then notability is a red herring.

DeathList at least isn't commercial. That could be useful though if I hear someone talking about the game and I want to figure out exactly what it's about without purchasing the product. I think being notable and valid for Wiki, in the end, is subjective and relative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherman90 7 Posted February 12, 2006 ...Anyone interested in joining? I think I know why they removed it....I had it under "external links", when it should have been under "internal links". Perhaps I should place it again...in the right spot this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 5, 2006 To anyone thinking of joining this or other deadpools that begin in less than a month (IE. Rotten Deadpool), this may be of interest: The Final Days of Art Buchwald. Won't make it 2007, so no good for DL or DDP, but if anyone's thinking of joining Rotten, it's an easy point.

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted March 6, 2006 Just a short 25 days to the DEAD-line I almost certainly will submit a team, but your scoring does seem to be very biased against the elderly. Maybe this is a reflection of your tender years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 6, 2006 I almost certainly will submit a team, but your scoring does seem to be very biased against the elderly. I was thinking the same thing. Makes it difficult to accumulate points if you pick people that might actually die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherman90 7 Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks, I got your picks up on the page Phantom. By the way, if anyone doesn't have a Wikipedia account...just sign your deathlist user name instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this is a reflection of your tender years. I made up the scoring one night...I didn't realize that I made it so severe so that 76 year olds only scored one point! I have since adjusted the scoring to a more reasonable level; I might also add the Joker option; just as the Derby Dead Pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
