The Hare's Death Pool

[YoungWillz 21,024]

This pool will last for deaths today and tomorrow. We've arrived at the thickest end of the game.

 

Obviously, there will be a hiatus of about a week thereafter for deaths to get reported etc, but everyone who dies in 2017 before closure will count.

 

Now, if I get 7 hits tomorrow, I win....ha ha. Some kind of bonus for hits on the 31st.

 

So it's never over....so here we go....

I can do better than that - if we are only talking one death (and it isn't on 31st December) then only the following deaths win it for

Sean

Diana Athill, Jacques Chirac, Olivia de Havilland, Paul Gascoigne, Rev Billy Graham, Douglas Hurd, Terry Jones, Leslie Phillips.

 

TUM

Leah Bracknell, George HW Bush, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Valerie Harper, Glynis Johns, Yasuhiro Nakasone, Isabel Peron, Ian St John, Dick van Dyke.

 

Death Impends

Ted Mack - but only if he dies after Christmas

 

So I have a very special list of 18 people (plus family, friends,colleague, fellow death listers obviously) who I'm hoping will see 2018. I'm fine with Simon Ricketts dying provided he doesn't do it on 31st of December and he is the only death.

 

If it is on 31st or there are multiple deaths then scrub all the above.

31st December Simon Ricketts death wins it for msc but otherwise the year end bonus does not add any further jeopardy to me.

 

39 hours..........

[YoungWillz 21,024]

THIS IS A FINAL REMINDER.

 

With under 14 hours to go before the time for submission of teams for 2018 slams shut, and I mean for good, I am now asking that any additional teams now be posted on the thread. This means you are not a hostage to the messaging system (some don't appear to have reached me initially, for some reason), and lets me have a rather busy Hogmanay without checking every hour there are more entries.

 

This is the list of confirmed entrants so far:

 

1. YoungWillz

2. Bibliogryphon

3. FixedBusiness

4. Deathray

5. Phantom Of The Midway

6. NiceGuyEddie

7. The Unknown Man

8. Torva Messor

9. JoeyRuss

10. Captain Chorizo

11. Grigori

12. Whoaml

13. FujimoriNoMorey

14. The Dead Cow

15. msc

16. John Key

17. Sean

18. Death Impends

19. Prophet

20. drol

21. Book

22. Toast

23. Wormfarmer

24. Grim Up North

25. WidowsPeak

26. gcreptile

27. mr.whit

28. the_engineer

29. Pedro67

30. Sir Creep

 

Entrants from 2017 not on the list are JiroemonKimura; ImNot Hades; Rotten Ali and Rockhopper Penguin (well, understandable).

 

Everyone is welcome to bust my bank account for 2018 for charity.

 

No further reminders will be issued. Then the game will commence and I can get a Masterlist up early on New Year's Day.

 

Thank you to everyone for your understanding and for the entries so far. Again, this already has a greater number of entries than ever before.

 

Best, YW.

Time is running short, but we have reached the number of teams we had last/this year. Well done.

 

Still have not received teams from @Pedro67 and @gcreptile and some others who entered this year. Hurry before the deadline, otherwise you'll have to wait a whole year again before enjoying the 12 month ride that is this pool.

I'm Coming. wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!

 

[Deathray 2,940]

Nice to see this pool maintain it's 100% record of increasing entries year on year. Well done YW on running a fabulous competition, and a level of competence that leaves many of us baffled. Good luck to everyone in 2018. Is it too early to congratulate Grim Up North?

I merely stand on the shoulders of giants Deathray. And yes, the competition won't officially close until midnight GMT between 7 and 8 January to allow death reports to filter through. So we'll keep the lad waiting, eh?

I know y'all think I"m forgetful....etc.... but I work every day 12 hours (6a-6p),  every day since Dec 3, and I'm working now in fact trying to get this together lol , throw in the fact I have basically two trainees and I've had little time to DP as I had hoped this week.  The trainees weren't part of the program 10 days ago, and just left yesterday.  So it's playing catch-up for me.  I apologize to all the DP admins...believe you me I'd like to submit better teams. I just cut/pasted DDP team and added a few names off top of my head lol for this list.

A LOT of borderline cases.

 

However, after due consideration, I'm only going to rule out Karen Land. She's ill. She's raising money for herself. Doesn't meet the criteria. Podermanski scrapes in as she is trying to help others with her blogging - really close.

 

Pick another body please Sir C.

Not a great policy when FFBIs are banned even if you almost got away with it. 

[YoungWillz 21,024]

Oh and tell me who your Joker is please.

 

Ah, just noticed it's George Bush, forget that.

 

I'll need that extra body though...

[YoungWillz 21,024]

About 20 minutes to go, I think it's only fair I reveal my team which was posted at the outset and copied to Bibliogryphon. No need for anyone else to post their teams as the Masterlist will be up shortly.

 

As you will see, I've gone with a theme team of people associated with The Beatles. Guess I won't be needing those subs mind...

The above is now the confirmed Masterlist for the 2018 Pool. Your subs will remain on this list until 14 January, which should be enough time for any deaths before 2018 to be notified and the subs inserted in their place. The subs will then be erased from the Masterlist (I'll keep a note for my own purposes).

 

A round 30 entries, many many thanks for supporting this Pool. And as I have said to everybody, good luck!

No. This year's will be finalised in early 2019!

 

Now, as for last year's game, you know the one you are leading in, this gets finalised on the turn of 7/8 January 2018.

[YoungWillz 21,024]

Doreen Keogh died on New Year's Eve according to this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5229571/Coronation-Street-actress-Doreen-Keough-dies-aged-91.html and therefore is a unique hit on this pool for 2017.

 

Yes, it never ends until it ends...

[Joey Russ 7,220]

The first New Years Eve hit ever on here...
