SchindlerHaughton 1 Posted January 3, 2013 I'd give it until 23:59 on January 2nd. That is plenty of time for any celebrity or even remotely notable person to get an obit if they are to get one at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eesti 151 Posted January 3, 2013 I think it would be fair to allow points* for a late December death if the qualifying obit came on 1 January. This would not cause an undue delay to the final results. * just to clarify: points to count for the year ending, not the year just starting. This was exactly what I thought. Nice to see that we have an open discussion here now. My suggestion was to give one week time to get obit but if that is too much then maybe less would be still better than 23.59 @ 31.12. I guess it is a question if this game should be bittersweet or honest. I would chose honest rules but I can also understand the positive-bittersweet side of being strict with the rules. So far so good for me. I haven't lost any points because of late obit yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted January 4, 2013 There's usually at least a few hours between death and announcement, though. How inconsiderate. Can't they announce NYE deaths a few hours before the celebrity in question buys the farm? regards, Hein I think they should make an assessment on 30th and open the door for them - just out of consideration for poor deadpoolers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 10, 2013 Anyone knows when the ddp 2013 entries will be published on its website? Fingers crossed it'll be Saturday. Now the new picks will not have too much details, they will be rolled out over the next few weeks. There's around 1100. 587 teams and about 3280 celebs in total. Just need to iron out a few kinks and we should be good to go, providing the data load goes well and the subsequent generation of pages... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
