Deathray 2,940 Posted February 16, 2014 A deathless week in a dull dull race. A serious question to keep us amused for a bit. With 318 points on offer today (and the total dropping by one a day), will anyone actually hit the magic 2014 pts for the year? We've called winners before 16 Feb in previous Deathrace competitions. Current scoreboard: Maryportfuncity - 718 Rotten Ali - 713 Uschi - 669 MSC - 358 Toast - 358 Damon Killian - 354 Death Impends - 348 Has there been a winnerless year yet?

Death Impends 7,979 Posted February 23, 2014 Alice Herz-Sommer brings an end to the drought. Surprised I'm alone on picking her, given how Methuselahs are quite popular in the Deathrace. (nvm, see Chorizo has her as well, but listed twice separately in the list) Also noticed, while browsing through the Master List to see if any deaths slipped through the cracks, that Larry D. Mann (died Jan 6) was on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 23, 2014 Cheers No major changes, but at least there is some change: Scoreboard Maryportfuncity - 718 Rotten Ali - 713 Uschi - 669 Whitehouse - 359 MSC - 358 Toast - 358 Damon Killian - 354 Death Impends - 348 Captain Chorizo - 309 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit harsh on the Winter Olympics IMHO. At this rate we'll still be discussing possible winners at this year's DLCon in Canterbury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted March 5, 2014 Well this is getting tedious... I'll watch from the sidelines as we slowly drift towards no-one can win point (24th September). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted March 5, 2014 Well this is getting tedious... I'll watch from the sidelines as we slowly drift towards no-one can win point (24th September). I may be wrong but I calculate the no-win point as being currently 23 October for the two leaders. This time last year I scored my first ever Deathrace points for Hugo Chavez but I think he caused the winners to cross the finish line. Something has got to happen soon. Hasn't it?

One can only hope so. Re Biblio's point above, it'd be bad form for me to win, I've always seen my job as looking keen and congratulating the worthy winner who strolled over the line with inspired picking. I think the unexpected good health of Wilko Johnson and Billy Graham (who looked like a cert to go very early). But there's lots of talent ready to topple, surely.

I do not think you should be embaressed about winning. I have a similar dilemma for my work game going into the Autumn for the past three years I have had a healthy lead but have been pipped at the post by another player. It helps to maintain my integrity. I for one do not think you are cheating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted March 20, 2014 Points for me, for Fred Phelps. "Many DeathList successes bring with them some sadness, so it’s all the more pleasing when we have a success with a candidate who is generally accepted as evil." The front page, on Botha.
