Death Impends 7,979 Posted August 9, 2015 May cook up a list for this in the coming days not gonna predict any DODs though. Because of the time of the century we're in this pool in concept sorta reminds me of the ones out there that calculate points by subtracting the picks's ages from 100 cept for in this case centenarians aren't completely worthless and there are still two people alive from the 19th century who would get you more points than the Martin Crowe types. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,330 Posted August 9, 2015 True true.I will most likely scale back.Part of the reason I let such a huge number in is because it is late in the year and I want a lot of hits to judge how the idea looks in practice.I do have a masterlist of all 5 entries to avoid cheating and will expect any non-major deaths to be notified to me along with an obituary in this site.Of course I track deaths daily on wiki and other sites so I shouldn`t miss many out but I can`t guarantee it.
