themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 13, 2012 Where can I access the rules please? Just want to know what constitutes a celebrity and such... A "hit" is one that has a mention of their death in a British national newspaper\website. It doesn't have to be a normal obituary write up. Reuters and of course the BBC are also acceptable. There's a precis of this on the List of the Lost page on the DDP website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 30, 2012 Joe Scarpa and John McGrath need to be added to the List of the Lost, unless an obit is floating around somewhere. Relevant pages updated. I knew about both and had updated my database but I often wait to see if there is an initial obit before putting on the LotL. With Scarpa, I waited so long I forgot!

angryGreatness 96 Posted May 21, 2012 Two tiny things to fix: 1) A while back I complained that my theme team featured the killer of Jam Master Jay, not the baseball player Ronald Washington. You fixed that, but now the picture is of the wrong Ronald Washington. 2) The most recent update says Gibb is worth 6 pts. (12 for jokers). Gibb should be worth the same amount as al-Megrahi, as he was 62 not 82. As far as I can tell the scores are all right though, so it's only on the front page that's wrong. Glad to see I'm now in the Top 20 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for Washington, I noticed almost as soon as I posted it, as I'd forgot the context of that Ron Washington and who he was... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
