Deathray 2,940 Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks to those of you who picked Schmidt for also picking subs; he's the first 'DNS due to death' on the masterlist DNS? Did Not Survive? Did Not Start - I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 11, 2015 Aye, indeed, DNS means did not start. Some - ahem - cunt had schimdt on a team and now has the #1 name on the subs bench replacing him. I'll take the top sub from the list to replace the premature topplers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 9, 2015 You're eager! I think this could be a far tougher year to win though. With Death Impends rapid improvement year on year, DDT and Spade being DDT and Spade (if they play), and perhaps Sir Creep if you can entice him to play (his Shadow list this year had 7 hits by February, with smart picking he'd have crushed the field here)... I was kinda lamenting that---as MY research goes for 2016---I keep asking 'where are all the Ahmad Givens's, King Abdullah's, Jules Bianchi's and Lauren Hill's of the world this year? I can't find hardly any, whereas we had no problem putting 10 gimmes on last year's lists. Where are they? And sure there may be a couple Joey Feeks out there but goddammit EVERYONE is going to have that name so we are all tied up. Ahmad Givens and Little Jimmy Dickens were a couple personal 'finds' and maybe I will find a couple that last few days of December (see: Dickens) but I doubt it. Anyway I digress only to say I got out of the gates quickly this year but they were there for the picking. I don't see as much low-hanging fruit. I'm beginning to question my searching capabilities. All the good names seem to be dying which doesn't help. SirC PS I threw a couple names out there who weren't supposed to die yet (Jeff Golub, who suffered from same dastardly disease Dudley Moore succumbed to) and just caught lightning in a bottle when he dropped over January 1! He actually should've lived till this year according to averages. So there's always luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,442 Posted December 9, 2015 Sir Creep, your man with the cancer (Adam Something) from that band we spoke of a few weeks ago - no press at all in the UK so not going to be a DDP hit, but would probably be worth Deathrace points, I'm sure of it. The month is also young, I can think of several "gimmes" who only appeared in the last half of December: Lou Rawls, Paul Goggins and Neil Young* to name but three. *That's the championship winning deceased footballer and not the famous singer-songwriter, before any smart alecs reply.

Us yanks clearly at a disadvantage when it comes to having a clue who might obit as we approach 'fringeness' (new word). He may not obit even here, but Rolling Stone would give a mention and there's that. *That's the championship winning deceased footballer and not the famous singer-songwriter, before any smart alecs reply.

msc 18,442 Posted December 9, 2015 I moved the DDP obit reply to the 2016 DDP thread to avoid clogging up MPFC' game. In terms of this game, nearly everyone obits. In case you think I'm exaggerating, I won the 2015 version with the following people: Gery Leuliet, Isabel Rosado, Yutaka Katayama, Irving Kahn, Hans Erni and Roy Douglas. All of them qualified.
