I'm on 12 now Leah Bracknell has passed...

 

 

Sorry, give me a moment...

As I was starting my shadowlist, I was wondering : the celebrities that I pick has to have an obit in an english speaking newspaper or a french obit is sufficient ? (as I’m french)

some celebrities on the deathlist won’t have any obit un France : do I have to play by the rules given By the official DL or can I use french celebrities with minor international notoriety ?

It is meant to shadow the main deathlist so you should follow the same rules that it does. However, shadow lists aren’t necessarily meant for competition and you could really do whatever you like. It’s really just to see how you’d perform under the same circumstances against the list. 

[The Unknown Man 584]

Clive James's passing brings my hit total to 12.

Yasuhiro Nakasone brings my hit total to 13.

[Wickerman 76]

Jean Heywood (I missed the notice of her death in September) and Clive James brings my total hits for the year to 14. Still (only just) managing to stay ahead of the committee. Curiously the committee and I only have 3 hits in common - Herman Wouk, Robert Mugabe and Clive James; that's the wonder and randomness of death for you .

[Lafaucheuse 4,050]

With clive James and nakasone I’m at 17 hits. Quite proud

A Emmerdale hat-trick (Freddie Jones, Leah Bracknell & Sheila Mercier) help to get me in double figures, Me 10, DL 12

[jonnythegamemaster 40]

Been nearly a year since I uploaded my 2019 list so I just checked them now (see signature)

 

10 hits this year so better than my miserable 8 last year. One more to match my record of 11 in 2017 and 2 more to beat it. Now to assemble my 2020 list 

[Yvonne 360]

Sheila Mercier has died, well I was hoping for a late surge please give me some points

My list does not include Prince Pip, however, he might make it if one of my current batch drops before 2020. Will be posted here on Jan 1.
