honez 79 Posted June 1, 2009 Okey, this may sound kind of lame, but I like some help from the astablished members here on how my personal death list should look like for next year. Since I entered this site I've always had difficulty processing the flood of information on here. I've tried many times to closely look at the "ideas and possibilitys"-thread but it's so overactive that I never really have the time to look these people up and catogorise them on importance and sickness, and oftenly feel that it just become's to much to make sense of. If some experienced members here could help me through it a bit and (how sad as it may sound) can help me compose my list for next year, I'd realy apriciate it. You might as well take all of my DDP team members from this year. None have died yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it ain't science, it's a bit of science and a lot of guesswork. So - for example - you could pick the oldest bastards going as I have for a theme team this year, and get some passable scoring, but you're likely to lose out on spectacular young deaths, which bring in more points. Such teams only win when celebrity deaths are very thin on the ground. You could try all manner of scientific stuff - as does Rotten Ali - and acquainting yourself with survival rates of particular cancers would help, but you'll still find people bucking the trends. So I was fairly confident Susan Atkins and 'Chemical' Tolimir would have delivered some points by June because their cancers suggested they couldn't escape death for so long, but they have. Oddly, my best ever performance in the big one - the DDP - was a team cobbled together at the last minute and done mainly on guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted June 1, 2009 Oddly, my best ever performance in the big one - the DDP - was a team cobbled together at the last minute and done mainly on guessing. That is my policy every year - it gets a top 50 place often as not. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll add its a darn waste of time to do all the spread-sheet stuff like I have - look where its got me! The idea looks good but its all down to gar-gar. You only get out a portion of what you put in. Still it keeps me off the streets at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If some experienced members here could help me through it a bit and (how sad as it may sound) can help me compose my list for next year, I'd realy apriciate it. I made a list wich can function as the base (lot of people could die and get sick in the upcoming year) for my personal list next year. From a professional/experienced view how does it look, who should I add and who should I leave out??? 1. Ariel Sharon 2. Johannes Heesters 3. Farah Fawcett 4. Frederick Chiluba 5. Tanja Nijmeijer 6. José Alancar 7. Željko Šturanović 8. Don Van Vliet 9. Bobby Robson 10. Abu Ayyub al-Masri 11. Fidel Castro 12. Corazan Aquino 13. Patrick Swayze 14. Elizabeth Taylor 15. Norman Wisdom 16. Ted Kennedy 17. Vincent Siew 18. Adolfo Suárez 19. Pierre Cardin 20. Princess Lilian, Duchess of Halland 21. Patriarch Pavle of Serbia 22. Louise Bourgeois 23. Ali Hassan al-Majid 24. John Demjanjuk 25. Stephen Hawking Vaagheid, it looks to me as if you can swim on your own now. It's a lovely looking list, if slightly long for the DDP. Don Van Vliet!! You big tease.
