Deathray 2,933 Posted April 4, 2016 So here's a thing.... After emailing The Guardian's obituary editor to ask if they were going to obit Delpech (see upthread), I then emailed The Independent's. He told me they had one on the way. Now, you may have noticed that with the closing of The Indy's print resources, they are no longer running an obituary section. No obit ran in the six weeks between my email and the section's closure. A closer look does reveal an obit, however, of the guy who wrote their music obituaries. This is why there was no QO. I am going to lose the DDP because someone who was never picked by anyone died. A first? I don't quite understand why there response to their music obituary writer dying is to close the entire obit section? I think this is a case of correlation not cause in that the obit section was getting nerfed anyway and he died around the same time. You've not lost the obit because he died, beware of seeking cause where there is only correlation. It's worth noting the obit writers obit is from the 1st March, whereas the last obit on their section is the 26th March Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,234 Posted April 4, 2016 Is The Living End in cahoots with the Grim Reaper? Well, it's not a race. It's impossible for him or anyone to keep up that hit rate, simply because you run out of names at some point. I mean, I fully expect all 20 people on my Love Boat roster to be dead by the end of the year (but they might not all obit...). It then depends on the quality of the hits. But then, DDT made quite a gamble on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, far from a sure thing, but very decisive if successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,368 Posted April 4, 2016 Worth noting for the stat wonks among us that if DDT gets another hit after Mulkearns, that guarantees the points record will be broken (which I think most of us figured was an inevitability this year - I could easily see at least five teams breaking the previous points record of 112).

I think a team in second place are nearly guaranteed to break the points record too with Jenny Diski's impending death and then Any One Other. Elsewhere, I could certainly see DQSP, Cancerous Hatred, Heading Nowhere and Golden Slumbers all getting over the current record total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
