The Hare's Death Pool

Recommended Posts

Bush and Lee presumably puts me at a more respectable performance, but probably not a winning one...

As pool hosts all over the forum grapple with late-year deaths they have a particular effect in this pool of course; The 300pter club includes Devin Lima, Jean Barker, Stan Lee and George H.W Bush among it's ranks resulting in big shifts this year. @msc No longer has just share the most hits record with @Grim Up North, edging him out by 1 with an astonishing 16 hits, instills hope that mega-bonus for full team might get an outing one year.  @Sir Creep also steals my record for highest scoring hit with a WildCard on Bush netting him a staggering 666 points - however not enough to take him in the lead. It seems Prophet really does have God on his side, maintaining his lead by a whisker. But as we all know one death can blow this to smithereens in December:

There we go, where you stand in this, the first day of December. The wonderful thing is none of you are mathematically unable to win at this point. So keep the hope those of you languishing at the bottom; about 6 deaths would do it.

Oh and because I was bored I worked out what the actual maximum number of points you could get in this pool is;

 

(365 + 250) x 19 = 11685  

(365 + 365 + 250) = 980 

and then your 500 bonus for the entire team dying.

 

giving a maximum possible score of 13,165. Now this is entirely useless as if anyone ever scores that I'll eat my hat (made of chocolate just to be on the safe side). Especially as it can only be achieved once every 4 years.

Hi Deathray - I'd love to be on 1783 points - but I'm not - 1143 points I think - better revisit the spreadsheet formulas. Cheers GUN.

These were done by hand. This exactly why I'm putting spreadsheet formulas in for next year....

 

The likelihood is you've accidentally acquired somebody elses points. Now to work out who the fuck you got them from and reallocate accordingly.

Yup I'd given you a rather large bonus at the expense of the_enginner who rockets to 1783 pts. Why do I get the feeling I've done this to the engineer before... it's not personal, honest...

Thanks for the entry, has been added to the list. I can also confirm the datedif based logging system for next year is fully functioning! Yay. 

 

No more staring down the notepad with a calculator in one hand a my phone to google deaths dates in my other hand screaming! And hopefully no more stupid errors like the ones above.

Huh? They're all alive as far as I'm aware.

 

I see you saw about your joker being too ill to do interviews for the DVD. Not heard much of him since.

Assume he means as in you'd be along to point out if any of them had nout to do with Doctor Who. My first glance appears to suggest he's okay on that score, a new name for my Corrie theme team out of it.

Oh yeah they were all in Who, no worries.

 

Amusingly one of the folks relatives is on my shortlist for entirely unrelated health issues.

 

Jan 2nd? With half the team being 89 or older, dunno tbh! You never know with old folk.

Hey @Deathray.

 

It appears my second sub for 2019 has bitten the dust.

All Creatures Great and Small producer Bill Sellars dead aged 93.

 

Here because he directed Celestial Toymaker, but mostly because directors dont fit into the Acting Threads and I can't be arsed looking any longer to find the "more" right thread.

Would you like a replacement?

well 8 days to go, my only reasonable person who may die prior to 2019 is Nobby Stiles.  Not even sure if that would give me the nod, as I didn't look at other teams.  He's all I have left really.
