Rotten Dead Pool

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Did the site creator of rotten die

Last update (who's birthday  is it today) was on 9/11. Maybe he/she got sad or something?

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...

Hm... might as well round out a "what if this was still running?" hypothetical. Kathleen Blanco another sure thing. After that... Wouk and Dole. Bush Sr, Kumar, Hardegen, Redstone. As always, Barys Kit.

It's because Ali got too busy. B)

If the RDP is down for good, Barys Kit is guaranteed to go next year, when I can no longer use him here.

 

Yep, looks like sod law has happened...

Another double hit with Michael and Hallyday. 6/10 after not quite 7 months. So... on course.

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.

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)...

Rotten Ali will doubtless know for sure but...am I right in assuming nobody did the perfect 10 in one RDP game?

I think not. Garn (Poochie) missed it by one month (Barys Kit).

 

My last game will/would end with 7/10 sometime this week.

So if the closest was a month's miss - Ali is very close to the best there ever was there. Respect!
