That’s why there was one pick that legitimately surprised me that they were rejected. And before you ask, it’s not Marieke Vervoort... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why I was surprised Carmen Franco - very famous in Spain - got turned down, as did one headline news type from the UK*. But it's their pool, their rules! *This turned out a blessing in disguise, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 29, 2017 Franco was probably rejected because she was really only notable for being related to a family member, which they said in the rules they would reject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted December 30, 2017 So, question: is the annual Deathlist New Years chat around the reveal of the new Deathlist 50 happening, and if so, how, given we don't have a chat function anymore? iirc (and i probably don't), DI set up some chat thingy last Hogmanay?

From my research, he used xat last year after the other chat that was created was deleted or abandoned due to some random people (not morbidkid for once) that we don't know were talking about some nasty stuff or something...

Death Impends 7,979 Posted December 30, 2017 FWIW, I checked the Xat Radders created and I still have my moderator powers in it. (if no one did, we'd be shit out of luck with Rad being away till after the new year, and he was the chat's only admin!) So we could still use that this year. https://xat.com/Deathlisters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted December 30, 2017 Ah it works and I'm even still signed in. Brilliant work, Death Impends! Controversial breaking news on the 2018 Deathlist there, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 30, 2017 Oh wait, I'm on a different computer now, that's why I'm not logged in. Can you add me to the chat Death Impends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 30, 2017 I tried to log on to my old laggy computer where I logged on the Deathlisters chat in hopes that I could log on to my account, only to hit a screen that it's stuck on before I could even open Chrome. Drats. I tried logging on to this computer for the chat, but it says that it requires a password, which I have no memory. I also apparently haven't saved an email on there so I could check the password. Does anyone remember the password to this chat? Please and thank you.

Death Impends 7,979 Posted December 30, 2017 Didn't recall there being a password. Worse comes to worse I might just create a separate Xat if the password thing isn't resolved. But that won't be till tomorrow so we have a bit of time to figure it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted December 31, 2017 @Joey Russ Dead Cow says he had to take a few measures to get in the chat, he thinks blocking cookies might've did it. Might want to try that out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 31, 2017 I actually tried going into other chats. I think it might have to do with the computer itself, which I have no control to change instead of not being able to log in, which means I can't view any chats on Xat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
