Est.1993's Half-year Deathpool

[Windsor 2,233]

Washington Post still the most reputable re Esteban Steve Jordan, c'mon Independent, NY Times and the rest of you. The man was a legend, or summat.

 

I'll get some points for Edwin Morgan, which will cheer me up after the Esteban Jordan obit failure.

Aye, Esteban is a pisser. Bit random that Washington Post made a meal of it and NY Times made nothing, if you look back on the thread it was only a suggestion in a post that added NY Times to the hit list of qualifying write ups. He's certainly got a reputable US write up, just the wrong one for us.

 

Played with Morgan though Windsor, I avoid writers as a rule because the stubborn bastards have a stickability that sucks in the world of dead pooling.

Esteban was in all the Texas papers. Should've picked the Dallas Morning News, that bastion of journalistic excellence, otherwise known as the Dallas Cowboys Weekly.

The Dallas Morning News sounds reputable. I think we should add them to the list.

 

Looks like I'll have to head off to Legacy.com to bribe the site manager with some sexy pictures...

Alright.. Windsor, youve now got 165 points. Thats 103 points ahead of 2nd place runner, CarolAnn. But, I was pretty sure Edwin Morgan wasnt a unique pick. I even had him listed as a non-unique pick. But I looked through the roster thoroughly and couldnt find a second Edwin Morgan. So, whatever then. I also have stopped using the fancy scoreboards because they take too much time to paste together on Paint.

Esteban points?

 

Awesome, thanks 1993.

[Estuarian Float 97]

So... still waiting on Esteban and Corneille obits.

[Estuarian Float 97]

Corneille gets an obituary from the New York Times, which puts Vaagheid on the board. Still no Esteban.

[Windsor 2,233]

New York Times obit for Sheik Saqr al-Qasimi.

 

It says he was 90, but most sources say he was 92.

 

Edit: Do I still get the five bonus points for him being 'incumbent', or did we rule Royalty out of this bonus category?

[Estuarian Float 97]

I think I will include royalty. And by the way, if there are any deaths I've missed, I'll still go through the roster and check each of the unmarked ones at the end of the year to be sure.

[Vaagheid 141]

The Dust Pool kind of caught me of gaurd, so i just decided to make my picks as intresting as possible:

 

12. Harry Mulisch

I only accept featured obits on the front page of the site. That personal little webpage mustve been something else. If Jordan got a featured obit from Legacy, his name would be on this list.

It was worth a shot, CarolAnn.

I think Est.1993 said at some point that this was going to be a one off deadpool? Thats from my not too reliable memory.

That's a shame

You've done a really nice site.

Could I suggest you hand over the site to someone who only runs it July to Dec.

[maryportfuncity 10,645]

The top six, it'll take a Tsunami to stop Windsor walking away with this one.
