[Joey Russ 7,119]

Their spelled wrong I'm sure. Though I think he should be disqualified for not following directions of PMing you.

[The Mad Hatter 1,091]

Their spelled wrong I'm sure. Though I think he should be disqualified for not following directions of PMing you.

why?

[YoungWillz 19,020]

Despite predicting 27 names correctly, I'm sure I'll probably be way down.

 

I'd say my list was more deathlisty than the real deal this year.

[Toast 14,833]

Their spelled wrong I'm sure.

 

Pot, may I introduce Kettle.

[Vaagheid 140]

Their spelled wrong I'm sure. Though I think he should be disqualified for not following directions of PMing you.

 

I considered it but i thought the only problem with doing it like this is that your list is out in the open for anyone to see.

 

So whatever unique and smart entries you put on there could be stolen from you by everyone else (so its more his problem then mine).

 

The PMing keeps an element of surprise in the game.

[YoungWillz 19,020]

Well that, and it could be edited after the list appeared.

 

Not I'm saying it has mind...

[Vaagheid 140]

Well that, and it could be edited after the list appeared.

 

Not I'm saying it has mind...

 

I took his list and saved it in a document immediately after posting (like i do with all the entries)

 

I wasn't considering disqualifying him but i was considering disqualifying the entries he severely miss spelled.

 

Anyway how about a vote among the other people who entered. Should Morbid Kids entry be counted or not? majority decides.

[Joey Russ 7,119]

Yes. I bet he'll be last

[YoungWillz 19,020]

I'll be last and thanks for the clarification Vaagheid, I did the same with the Hare's Pool.

 

I still like my chances of a top ten finish though...

[Joey Russ 7,119]

I'll be last and thanks for the clarification Vaagheid, I did the same with the Hare's Pool.

 

I still like my chances of a top ten finish though...

I think you'll do better than you think. The fact that you guessed the exact spots for 3 people means an instant 75 points for you. Plus others. I wouldn't be surprised if you got a top 3 finish.

[The Mad Hatter 1,091]

Yes. I bet he'll be last

Can you fuck off? Why do you care so much.

[rockhopper penguin 2,264]

 

Yes. I bet he'll be last

Can you fuck off? Why do you care so much.

 

Come on now children.

[Vaagheid 140]

If i calculated it correctly

 

Book 1st with 206 points

Radguy 2nd with 178

Dead Cow 3rd with 175

Joey Russ and MSC shared 4th with 172

YoungWillz 5th with 89

Mobid Kid 6th with 77

I thought I saw that Shaun PM'd something to you. At least he said in a post.

[YoungWillz 19,020]

Ah, good. Thanks for running it again Vaagheid, much appreciated.

 

Now, let's see how the lists compare in actual deaths.

 

Well done Book, you obviously know the Committee better than most.

[Book 3,343]

Last year I got 16 hits and the DL got 12.

I hope to beat the Committee again.

Doesn't look that bad because of my first hit Peter Sarstedt!

18/50

 

19.09.2017: the record of the DL is broken (again)!

26.09.2017: tied personal score

27.09.2017: I guess a sub does not count, so no Playboy points for me

05.12.2017: Still one ahead of the DL...

Well done Book, you obviously know the Committee better than most.

 

I asked for inclusion but never got an answer!

 

Interesting to see that YoungWillz and me got the exact prediction on Kirk Douglas (01.) , Billy Graham (03.) and Ian Brady (50.)!
