Sean 6,330 Posted July 22, 2016 Bill Cardille dead at 87, hit for SC Also, I am very intrigued about your idea of the 01-99 deadpool, although the question of morality comes into play with 1999 births (we usually don't do minors). I'm also suggesting playing to a certain number of deaths (e.g. 50) or creating a time limit so that we will at least live to see the victor. Yeah that was a grey area and I dont think it would work very well as would go on for many many years.Tried to compile a list of my own earlier and it was too tough.Especially when you get to many of the post 1970 years where you might as well pick a name out of a hat.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 22, 2016 Something really seems amiss with the scoreboard but I've no time to sort it out. Oh sure there's a little quantity vs quality going on, but not to the tune of 100s of points with three people. I've now got an unprecedented* NINETEEN HITS there no fahkin way anyone within 5 of that, yet mired in a non-competitive 4th place? What EVVAH. SirCreep *meaning no one in the history of this website has likely had more, and it's fahkin JULY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted July 22, 2016 As Shaun is a bit busy at the moment, stewards inquiry from a friendly busybody. Is there something amiss with the scoreboard? Well, here is the scores for the top four as it stands, with working: Chorizo = 1331 Susannah Mushatt Jones (joker) – 99 x 2 Monty Brinson - 57 Kris Travis - 83 Martin Crowe - 62 Joey Feek - 75 Rene Angelil - 42 Jenny Diski - 47 Big Ang - 60 Howard Marks - 45 Carolien Aherne - 63 Sir Peter Maxwell Davies -34 Bonnie Brown - 38 Peter Esterhazy - 50 Johan Cruyff - 47 Paul Cox - 40 Pat Harrington Jr - 29 Rob Ford - 69 Robert F Dorr - 39 Bryan Weidmeier - 59 Phil Sly – 59 Jade Pateman 93 Lady Susan Renouf - 42 Sir Creep = 969 Rene Angelil - 42 Martin Crowe - 62 Johan Cruyff - 47 Jenny Diski - 47 Bob Ellis - 42 Peter Esterhazy - 50 Mark Farren - 82 Joey Feek - 75 Rob Ford -69 Pat Harrington Jr -29 John Jay Hooker - 30 Howard Marks - 45 Sir Peter Maxwell Davies -34 Henry McCullough - 43 Blackjack Mulligan - 42 Susannah Mushatt Jones - 99 Andrew Smith - 90 Douglas Slocombe - 13 Bill Cardile - 28 Death Impends = 1063 Rene Angelil - 42 Martin Crowe - 62 Johan Cruyff - 47 Jenny Diski - 47 Peter Esterhazy - 50 Mark Farren - 82 Jeoy Feek - 75 Rob ford - 69 Susan Renouf – 42 Pat Harrington Jr - 29 Susannah Mushatt Jones (joker) 99 x 2 Tom Libous - 53 Eric Lubbock - 28 Howard Marks - 45 Andrew Smith - 90 Kris Travis - 83 Abe vigoda - 21 DDT - 1499 Joey Feek – 75 Jenny Diski - 47 Phil Gartside - 52 Kris Travis - 83 Martin Crowe - 62 Louise Plowright - 56 Peter Esterhazy - 50 Bonnie Brown - 38 Eric Lubbock - 28 Rob ford - 69 Thomas Fekete - 89 Ronald Mulkearns- 30 Aden Hailu (joker) – 95 x 2 Rene Angelil - 42 Rev Sandy McDonald - 37 Peter Maxwell Davis - 34 Howard Marks - 45 Dan Haggerty - 42 Bob Ellis - 42 Abdul Sattar Edhi - 28 Johann Cruyff - 47 Julien Hoferlin - 66 Mark Farren - 82 Padnit Shakhar Ghosh - 35 Big Ang - 60 Alftredo Armenteros- 28 Susan Renouf - 42 The numbers are a bit off because I added Cardile and Renouf. Although I double counted Chorizo and came 200 points ahead, so even discounting crap maths you might want to double check that as it sounds like someone's been forgotten. Sir Creep is disadvantaged by picking the wrong 117 year old to be his joker. However, DDT picked neither, and is currently standing at 27/50 in July. Chorizo has 22/50, in July. Death Impends has a mere 17/50 (hah), but is a fairly astute chooser. All four teams have done very well, really, but the thing is, DDT is a monster at these games. The Ideas for Next year thread was once jokingly called Ideas for Mid-August years ago because of how often DDT would highlight a person whose health was hitherto unknown to be gravely ill, only for them to then snuff it within days/weeks. He is scarily good at these things. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,979 Posted July 22, 2016 Next year for this game I'm definitely making my team near exclusively my DDP team/people who I considered for it since given the amount of names that died on both ends this year, I'd probably be in the lead if I went with that instead of "half people who are ill, half people who are old and interesting". I'd still have a spot for June Foray though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't pick DDP people either, next year I should just give Shaun my team by PM if he runs it again. Wow thanks for that msc.Incrdible research there!

Hi Shaun - you haven't given me my points for Muhammad Ali. If that's not reason for the difference then if you check my post on page 1 you will see I have noted all my scores and yuo can add them up yourself and find the difference. I should have been on 724 on this update and now Dr Kate has nudged me into the 800s but I think that was after this last update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
