Death Impends 8,029 Posted December 6, 2017 Coming up with a 2018 team would be pretty tough, once again due to the crap database. Not a lot of obvious picks they'd have right now besides McCain and Charlotte Rae. So just as well it's down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Royalty King of Romania, 1927-30 and 1940-47 25-Oct-1921 TBD 02-Jan-2017 2 Daniel arap Moi Head of State President of Kenya, 1978-2002 02-Sep-1924 TBD 02-Jan-2017 3 Liliane Bettencourt Relative World's 16th richest person, 2005 21-Oct-1922 TBD 02-Jan-2017 4 Glen Campbell Country Musician Rhinestone Cowboy 22-Apr-1936 TBD 02-Jan-2017 5 Franco Zeffirelli Film Director Romeo and Juliet 12-Feb-1923 TBD 02-Jan-2017 6 Freeman Dyson Physicist Theoretical physicist at Institute for Advanced Study 15-Dec-1923 TBD 02-Jan-2017 7 Mikhail Gorbachev Head of State Final leader of the Soviet Union 02-Mar-1931 TBD 02-Jan-2017 8 Antony Hewish Astronomer Co-Discoverer of pulsars 11-May-1924 TBD 02-Jan-2017 9 Glynis Johns Actor Winifred Banks in Mary Poppins 05-Oct-1923 TBD 02-Jan-2017 10 Mário Soares Apparently this lot. I get bored finding out who isn't in their damned database before too long, really. Apparently I am running at 4/10. I think I am just sticking with the Alt Obits pool for games outside this forum. That just gave me a nice email to tell me I got 2 points for picking King Michael, along with Death Impends (who I am currently beating, a rarity!), deadsox (who I am not currently beating) and some non-Deathlisters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,255 Posted January 31, 2018 I think I figured out what happened with it. Rotten Dead Pool is one of many sites from rotten.com, which was a very controversial site. Apparently, the main site was last archived on August 18, 2017, and I’m guessing sometimes afterwards, the main site became defunct (definitely by December 2017). I’m guessing because the main site shut down, all the spin-off sites ceased to function as well. So I think that the Rotten Dead Pool is permanently down because of that...

Kathleen Blanco another sure thing. After that... Wouk and Dole. Bush Sr, Kumar, Hardegen, Redstone. As always, Barys Kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Sr., Dilip Kumar, Billy Graham and Hutton Gibson remain. Just Barys Kit left for Garn. 7/10 now after Billy Graham - personal best. Sadly, I subbed out Barys Kit for George Bush Sr. who now looks like the most likely holdout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,255 Posted April 12, 2018 Can’t even find the web address for it anymore, so I’d say it’s definitely permanently defunct (though not surprising since I discovered that it’s associated with a now defunct website). RIP Rotten Dead Pool (died 2017)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think not. Garn (Poochie) missed it by one month (Barys Kit). My last game will/would end with 7/10 sometime this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if the closest was a month's miss - Ali is very close to the best there ever was there. Respect! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
