I just found out Jay Kallio died back on September 30th:

 

http://gaycitynews.nyc/jay-kallio-model-activist-end-dead-61/

 

I know, he's included in your score gcreptile.

 

I'm pretty goddarn efficient you know....

 

Wow! But then I'm 12/25.

 

 

Maybe not that efficient actually. Fill me in on Ron Anderson, who I don't have for you. When did he die and obit please? You are due points for him.

This one was it.

 

 

So August 24th? I'll update the leaderboard above.

 

Thanks, it doesn't even change that much, as the death of either Glen Campbell, Sumner Redstone or Geoffrey Bayldon (all good choices!) still give the victory to either MPFC, DI, or Toast.

I just don't know. Anything could happen between now and the end of the year. Still plenty of jokers out there and of course the December 31 bonus. If I get my joker and six others to die on that date, I'm unbeatable!

Sure thing.

 

Be sure to have plenty of subs available in case of celebrity genocide and don't forget to specify your Wildcard.

 

Oh, and I'll be a little less forgiving on the celebrity rule. I'll be sure to ask you to reconsider if I think your entry doesn't meet the celebrity requirement. I think Deathray may have let Louise Sherry through in a fit of Christmas goodwill.

Oh, and I suppose I should put my list together in case anyone accuses me of assembling a dream team from entrants' picks.

 

I'll post it shortly. Ah, the onerous nature of this...

Apparently died on August, 24th, 237pts.

 

Edit: This was the article that led me to him:

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/article46530485.html

 

 

Ahem. 236 points. Jan 8 would get you 7 points, Jan 9 = 8 points.

 

August 24 - 237th day = 236 points.

I PM'd my list to you. I decided that this is for the deaths later in the year, I decided to send it this early. Not going to reveal my team just yet. And sorry for not putting it in alphabetical order.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali is my fifth hit, lol... 47 pts.... I think my five hits are worth about 130pts all together...

 

So how the hell you got 2200 unless the other 8 all died since October?

My Joker died in October that's a pretty good call. Looks like I gotta hope the conjoined twins die on Christmas lol.

Sir C, as I have blocked you, you can enter this game for 2017 in one of two ways:

 

Either PM your list to a trusted friend who can then PM it to me, or post it on this thread on or before 31 December before the cut off date.

 

I'll still welcome an entry from you if you decide to enter.

Thanks Shaun. I'll put it into alphabetical order and add it to the masterlist.
