RadGuy 1,613 Posted January 15, 2017 Zhou Youguang was my 2nd hit, and we're only a fortnight into the year. What's interesting is that my first couple of hits were #2 and #10 - just like in 2015 (Sam Simon and King Abdullah). The problem is in 2015 I ended with a grand total of 6. P.S. I would have been at 4 hits if I hadn't dropped Clare Hollingworth and Zygmunt Bauman at the last minute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 20,436 Posted January 28, 2017 John Hurt is, very sadly, the first hit on my personal Shadowlist. Didn't pick him for anything else - simply can't believe he's gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,168 Posted January 28, 2017 Hurt puts me at 4/50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDavidSteel 15 Posted February 12, 2017 yes im not sure what happened to that actor. for example, if John was hurt i do have a list for this year but wont bother sharing now. i can say that (to my knowledge/of top of my head) all (10) are alive. My number does vary from year to year though. I think, for 2018 I will have an unlucky 13 list (post on december 31st) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 820 Posted May 29, 2017 I am at 10 hits with Soares, Youguang, Snuka, Tyler Moore, Corey, Van Der Westhuizen, Sumner, Rockefeller, Brady, and Fresco. Only one female on my shadow list has died out of the 12 on my shadow list. Looking for at least 20 hits by the end of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,253 Posted May 29, 2017 First year of this and I'm one ahead. I'll take that! Especially given my rule that, if I don't know the person or feel the person isn't well known enough, they're vetoed from my list. QR 6 - 5 DL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilyForrester 81 Posted May 30, 2017 My first year and I'm tied with the Deathlist 5-5 at the moment. It was 4-4 for about a month and a half but I had Noakes on my list. I'm hoping for over 12 but I'll be happy to just beat 10 for my first year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 820 Posted June 27, 2017 I think I have a solid list for 2018 already. It's getting to that point where it's hard to make room for new people who fall ill because every spot is full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
