The PNDP is now increasing the lead over Deathlist: novelist Appie Baantjer, the list's no. 29, has passed away, aged 86.

 

It means Vaagheid can now celebrate his 8th hit, congratulations!!

I didn't know he was sick.

Edited the dead of Fignon in my signature.

 

I stopped using the NDP-blog, so you don't have to check there for changes.

 

 

I am thinking of making the rules of the NDP simpler for next year.

Ah, really? I'll give it a thought every now and then, and let you know what I come up with.

Can you make a top 10 out of it.

Everybody can send me their 10 picks till January the 10th (throught a personal message on this or the Dutch forum).

It will run from January 11th 2011 till January 10th 2012.

Your picks dead must be mentioned by only one newssource NOS teletext (<--- clickable link)

Because I have a NOS TELETEXT app on my mobile phone and can easily check it that way.

 

1 spot = 100 points

2 spot = 90 points

3 spot = 80 points

4 spot = 70 points

5 spot = 60 points

6 spot = 50 points

7 spot = 40 points

8 spot = 30 points

9 spot = 20 points

10 spot = 10 points

 

100+ or 18- year old = only 10 points

unique pick = +5 points

Dutch/Belgian/Suriname/Luxembourg/Former Antilles pick = +20 points

 

I had to simplify the rules because else I would have the same problems with my dyscalculia (which made this years NLDP very hard for me). I would apriciate it if other people helped me with keeping track of the deads.

 

I just finished the final score before my P.C. went nuts (and destroyed the document).

I believe the top 3 was

 

1. Tomb Raider

2. Rotten Ali

3. The Unknown Man

Using the highly scientific method of packing the team with those who narrowly missed out on DDP action for me and blending them with names I've seen on this thread that just looked well...very Dutch in most cases, I have concocted Carkers Convention (Netherlands) 2011

 

Gerry Rafferty

Corry Brokken

Sylvia Kristel

Erwin Olaf

Willem Holleeder

Kirk Douglas

Aad van Toor

Joran van der Sloot

Heinrich Boere

Billy Graham

Wow Maryport - I like your style in nicking the top of my list - I don't mind at all - but with the new points system Vaagy is going to run with (only +20pts for a Dutch death) I could only think of using my best two Dutch picks in 9th and 10th positions since the payback returns are somewhat denueded above these positions. Last year was quite rewarding in having only 3 hits from 25 names but with the double points bonus getting effectively 6 hits from the 25 took me to 2nd place overall.

 

For me its a complete re-jig of the entry list.

 

I'll be back in a bit...

When I've re-run all the numbers...

100 Jose Alencar

Respectfully wish to change my Dutchman (I could only find room for one person in the end) if someone else wants him.

You should. He's been dead for months.

 

I don't know how good your computer translate program is. But here is some research our forummembers did the last couple of months. I used it myself when I comprised my list.

Bit harsh to say I 'nicked' them. Granted, there is a lot of overlap but they're in a different order. to be totally honest I Googled a couple before thinking 'fuck it' and just going for names I liked in any old order. This is the least thought through, most random team I've deadpooled in about four years. I couldn't even tell you who some of them are. I didn't even bother to check if anyone in Holland knows much about Gerry Rafferty, but I guess we'll soon find out if he's qualified for NDP points. There is summat to be said for just going for it. I spent a lot less time on the normal CPDP line up who broke the points record last year than I did on the carefully crafted theme team ten who stubbornly refused to cark.
