YoungWillz 21,037 Posted January 2, 2018 @Deathray The highest points for a single hit now stands with you. 614 Points for Doreen Keogh on 31 December. Still a few days left... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted January 3, 2018 I knew there was a reason I put that rule in. Increases my score respectably. Bittersweet though: one of the last of the original cast of my favourite show to die. Obviously too young to remember her performances but the ones I've watched on YouTube are grand.

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted January 3, 2018 Thomas S Monson is a hit for two teams in the 2018 game. And so it begins before the last one has ended! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't laugh, my joker didn't die last year - so this is 8 points (?) more than then! My stats analysis had her expected expiry date* as March 2018, so I should have seen this coming, but I was having a crisis of research confidence when I sent my Hare's team in. *Not as ghoulish as it sounds, merely the upper limit of life expectancy for her illness, after which time she'd become an outlier.** ** Ok, maybe as ghoulish as it sounds.

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted January 5, 2018 On the flipside.... Outright leader, msc. - 4 January - 3 Points x 2. Spare a thought for Captain Chorizo, who's had two hits already and is well on his way to doing a Death Impends for 2018.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look on the bright side. At least your joker did die. As for me, naw, my joker won’t die this year. Indeed I think I only picked her as joker because I was too paranoid and wanted to try and avoid another John Wetton dilemma... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted January 8, 2018 Well, what a year it has been! Firstly, thanks to everyone who had a team. It has been much fun spending the last 12 months watching this as it has developed over the year. Unluckily for this pool but luckily for some players, December was rather a Spartan month, bringing few of the really juicy points that this pool craves! We had many leaders. msc bounced up early, only to begin flagging and being overtaken by Death Impends. In fact, it looked like all the world that his team would totally expire within the first half of the year. msc regained some ground only for the magical run of Joey Russ to occur. From a standing start, he gained numerous consecutive hits which led to an iron grip on the lead for several months. But as we all know, this game is all about gaining in the latter stages. Grim Up North started an inevitable climb, as did Sean, The Unknown Man and The Dead Cow, who eventually all came to hold places in the top part of the table. Even Death Impends, whose challenge looked doomed, started gaining points as well, but failed to gain his 3rd consecutive 30 December hit. And there we have it folks, a debutante who won quite convincingly. I also have to mention the following for @Deathray record purposes: Deathray gains the most points for a single hit of 614 for this pool's first 31 December hit. Grim Up North and msc now hold the record for the most hits in a single year (15). Edit: Grim Up North holds the record for most points in a year: 2715. Congratulations to @Grim Up North and remember I did say your team was my favourite, when it looked like all was lost! £24 goes to the UK charity of your choice. So, in the spirit of this pool, hop to it and let me know where you wish your donation made. And so we move on to 2018.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 8, 2018 While I obviously didn't win, I still believe that the four month lead in this dead pool was one of my crowning achievements in my first year of dead pooling, and I'm proud of that. Of course, that won't happen for me again next year, and I would be honestly amazed if I gain the same point value as last time, as I don't really have any certs on my team this time... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
