msc 18,476 Posted October 3, 2016 Now that I've worked out how to do it, I've edited my list on Page 3 with dead people now in red text like a Vincent Price movie. 12/50 is no bad, but I'll certainly put more thought into this deadpool if it runs again in 2017.

Tom Leppard 35 Lady Susan Renouf 42 Bonnie Brown 38 Peter Esterhazy 50 Caroline Aherne 63 Goran Hadzic 58 Muhammad Ali 42 Burt Kwouk 30 Henry McCullough :43 Thomas Fekete:88 (an extra point will be given for proof of DOB) Abdul Sattar Edhi 28 Abbas Kiarostami 40 Here are a list of the deaths since the last update.Please let me know if any are missing.Have not included Al Baghdadi as his death has not been officially confirmed.I need to sort out a few queries with regards to Jiroemon Kimura`s score as I seem to have miscounted it.I also need to look it to some other entries that have queried my counting up of the points. I have absolutely no points at all; niet, nil, nada, jack. But I would like the fact that I am in the game recognising. And would it be record to finish on zero - I feel like I might have a precious gift. The gift has faded. I have now had 4, count them, 4, hits for a princely total of 117 points. Winter is coming the Reaper is with me, look out everyone the Penguin is rolling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted October 4, 2016 Question: If Emma Morano, the last of 1899 babies, died by the end of the year, would you consider giving 100 points for people born in 1900, e.g. Violet Brown??? Also, update please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 8, 2016 Hey Shaun, I was randomly looking over the list and I think you owe msc 58 points, as he got the one and only prince on his team, and I think you overlooked him. When you finally get around to your next update, you should give msc his points. If he's somehow not on your master list, he's on page one of this page. EDIT: The team was Youwanticewiththat (Apoligies if I spell his name wrong). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted October 8, 2016 I didn't have Prince on my team, but I will gladly take 58 extra points if they are on offer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 8, 2016 I didn't have Prince on my team, but I will gladly take 58 extra points if they are on offer. I checked and it wasn't your team. It was Youwanticewiththat's team. She's (checked her profile to realize I called her the wrong gender) is missing the 58 points. Again, page 1 and I'm pretty sure it's the second to last post on that page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 18, 2016 Are you going to run this Deadpool next year, cause you seem to be really busy. Also, update please 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted October 23, 2016 Since Shaun is busy, I've decided to put a list of people who had died but have not been awarded points. Please tell me if I missed anyone else (as I'm sure I have missed some): Bill Cardille Dr Kate Granger Steve Latourette Helen Bentley Joao Havelange Gene Wilder Vera Caslavaka Rowena Kincaid Gloria De Haven Vivien Gray Mauril Belanger Bhumibol Adulyadej Jimmy Perry Prince (owed to Youwanticewiththat).

Cheers that is a great help with regards to next years Death by Numbers I am proposing faar smaller teams.I am thinking of cutting the teams to 20 with the same rules as before i.e points for of birth with ajoker but with an additional bonus of 5 points on the total for picking someone who appears on Deathlist 2017 and also 5 points for picks that appear on the DDP Drop forty.If your pick appears on both these lists you get ten extra points.I will accept entries as of now but will allow you to add as many subs as you want and or request changes before January.The earlier the teams are in the better I will be able to plan the database and avoid the calamity of this yearscontest.I think it is fair to say that this is now the most inefficient deadpool of the lot.So feel feel to subit some teams and help make death by numbers great again! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,330 Posted October 25, 2016 And by 20 I mean 20 picks.Any number of teams are welcome before midnight GMT on 31st December so you all have plenty of warning for the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted October 25, 2016 I wouldn't call the most inefficient deadpool - real life, as we say, must come first. I do think this is probably the finest deadpool to come along since the Deathrace itself, though, so am glad to see it continue in 2017. A team will be PM'd to you at some point before the bells.

YoungWillz 21,056 Posted October 25, 2016 I have some time on my hands. Would you like me to plough through this thread and give a scoreboard, or are you working on this?

Sorry for my ignorance but what is the DDP Drop Forty? Also these point bonuses I presume are only awarded if your pick appears on the lists AND dies?

Deathray 2,940 Posted October 28, 2016 I wouldn't call the most inefficient deadpool - real life, as we say, must come first. I do think this is probably the finest deadpool to come along since the Deathrace itself, though, so am glad to see it continue in 2017. A team will be PM'd to you at some point before the bells. Erm, another deadpool hereabouts already has that title well and truly trademarked. I wouldn't say that. The Hartlepool only had one update so far... and it was in June. That's very far from being the case. Lol. It was the Hares Deadpool. My bad. I knew it began with an H though Yes, but with respect the deal with the Hares is very clear what the deal is with all entrants and has been for a while. An update is however forthcoming. I apologise for having a life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
