Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 24, 2008 Good work son.... I did notice that the picture for Bert Wallace the footballer is actually of Don Revie! Bert WILLIAMS, I think you mean. I'm innocent for that one, it was up there already, but regardless, I'll change it for the next time. You're responsible for one pic though - Lenox Hewitt - couldn't find any pic at all - any ideas?

Yes Williams. Where the hell did Wallace come from? I've tried to look for Hewitt's picture to no avail. Perhaps we'll get one in the Times Obituary if he finally cops it...

Twelvetrees 10 Posted March 25, 2008 I am somewhat relieved to see that someone in the British press has finally noted the death of Merv Wallace, something that has been mentioned here twice before, but without the necessary obit. Like my DDP team, Wallace made little impact in the highest form of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted March 29, 2008 Are there any plans to update the DDP any time soon? Just wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted March 29, 2008 Are there any plans to update the DDP any time soon? Just wondering. I do have a social life as well, you know. I have been at a family function for the last two days away from my computer & at work with extended hours since Tuesday (again, away from a computer). Tomorrow morning is likely to be my first chance to update the site for Widmark's death, but I might just wait another week (or wait until you aren't top) yet just to piss you off!

Why? I haven't had the time to look in myself lately. Has Richard Widmark died? Do I have him on my team? Goodness me, what a surprise, hadn't noticed. I must say I don't take much interest, just chuck a few names together plucked from nowhere at the end of the year and forget about them. And how are you doing OoO?

Banshees Scream 110 Posted March 30, 2008 At the entrance of this year, 2008, I had one ambition here in the world of death. I had the facts memorized... the names categorized... the dream visualized ... it was my world. I had the championship right in front of me ... win or lose this year ... I had it right in front of me. I had the prospects ... I had the concept ... I had the prestige. I've always had that fire in me ... the one that sets competition in a blaze. I can tell you ... that from day one I knew the measures it would take to own deaths standings which amounts of several hundred minds. Today, I want to announce things have changed. Something in me has changed. From realities stand point the Master Mind team is slowly ... making it's way up the great ladder of honor ... and I know it and you damn well know it too. What's changed is I don't need the glory. Anyway it goes down 'is the way it goes down with me'. I just don't care - the party is over - turn out the light on what you knew me as. If anyone can beat me this year ... congratulations ... you truly are the very best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted April 3, 2008 To those who check the site in the next 24 hours or so: Main Page D Update The Main Page has changed - this is deliberate & is the new colour scheme. The wood background is no more! D - I am well aware that for some reason the whole set-up of D has changed - the font type, the RIP pics, the joker pics and the pics of the celebrities. I have no idea quite why this has happened, but is in the process of being fixed. However, I simply do not have any time tonight to fix it, so it will remain like that for the time being. As a result, I haven't done a full update of the scores, team page & who's dead & a e-mail update either until I fix D. I uploaded B & all seems fine, but seems to have thrown a wobbly. Strangely, it also did it when I tried to put the "Old" D page back. Might need a bit of serious study to see what has happened & hopefully I can fix it asap. (If not, I will contact a man or two who can!) So, apologies for the funny D page and apologies the site is in mid-update, as I don't really like any sloppiness on it, but I am on to it. Can't quite fathom why the links keep coming up as blue on the main page too, but that's being worked on. Anyway, apologies again & thanks for your patience.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted April 5, 2008 Only 2 of them to the best of my knowledge. However, accusations that Deathlist regulars dominates the top of the scoreboard can be discounted when you look at my lamentable showing. Rotten Ali's had a slow start too... Well, I,ve got Heston to come soon! Plus a few more who are prime candidates - they are taking their time OK!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted April 6, 2008 Here is how I project the Top 10 with look like after an update is done for Charlton Heston - BBC obit. 1. Godot's Waiting List 71 - 9 hits 2. The Living End 69 - 8 hits 3. They're Dead, Y'Know! 65 - 9 hits 4. R.I.P. It Up And Start Again 55 - 7 hits 5. Tonight Matthew, I'm Going To Be Badly-Torn Boy 50 - 6 hits 6. Meet Your Maker 45 - 6 hits 7. Misers 42 - 6 hits 8. Hunting Halos 39 - 5 hits 9. CanadianPaul 38 - 6 hits 10. Eejit 37 - 4 hits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 6, 2008 I think there will be a record of individual hits this year. The current record is 12, held by Fallen Sparrow and Meet Your Maker... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted April 6, 2008 Update done nice & early. As far as DDP history is concerned, Heston's death means one current competitor is now the all-time leader outright... but I will reveal no more yet as the inane analysis, DDP history & List of the Missed are all coming soon!

Handrejka 1,903 Posted April 6, 2008 Wow, that was a jump. I knew picking Heston as my joker would pay. On another note I see someone has picked conjoined twins this year and it wasn't me. Maybe next year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted April 6, 2008 Carkers Convention 2008 line up: 8 – Charlton Heston 10 – Rachel Jones 20 – Don Wittman A day of mixed blessings for MPFC. A hit with Heston, but Jones very sadly lost her cancer battle last month. It was only covered in her local paper, so she joins Wittman as a pick with no points.

Madame Defarge 21 Posted April 6, 2008 I looked up my team to see if the points were there, and ..... there was the little man with the funny colored hat. I forgot that at the last minute I had switched the Joker to Charleton Heston from Omar Abdel Rahman. Will wonders never cease? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted April 14, 2008 John Archibald Wheeler, whom I had on my DDP for 2 years, then took off, has died. I suspect that he'll get a UK obit of some sort for coining the term "black hole," although the last guy who died after I took him off my DDP (Fred Saberhagen) didn't. Nevertheless, he's already got an obit that's good enough for the HDP, which is where I kept him (albeit third from the bottom ). EDIT: And it's a 13th-of-the-month hit as well!
