YoungWillz 21,142 Posted August 26, 2018 Unsurprisingly, tied with the Committee in picking McCain, so it's still 3 up to me: YW - 10; DL - 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 11,037 Posted November 12, 2018 Apparently, I'm at 12 hits. Edit: McCain, Carlisle, Lee, Miller, Graham, Rae, Carrington, Ellis, Jowell, Norden, Aznavour, Hawking, Smith, Maynard, Stefansson. Edit: Oops, actually 15 hits. I forgot Carlisle, Norden and Maynard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 749 Posted December 5, 2018 Deaths: 1. John McCain (chosen by DL) 6. Stefan Karl Stefanson (not) 10. Billy Graham (DL) 11. Lord Peter Carrington (DL) 13. Denis Norden (DL) 15. Stan Lee (DL) 26. Doug Ellis (not) 27. George Bush Sr. (DL) 40. Devin Lima (not) 42. Barbara Bush (DL) 45. Connie Sawyer (not) 47. Tessa Jowel (DL) 48. Stephen Hawking (DL) 49. Aretha Franklin (not) So my prediction of who they would choose is matching my personal deathlist numbers with 14, and is 2 above the official deathlist DL did not include 5 of these people, I think their only mistake from my list was not including Stefan Karl Stefanson and Aretha Franklin, for the official deathlist the other three: - Doug Ellis, not completely famous, his death wasn't a certainty. - Devin Lima, he doesn't even have a wikipedia page, I wouldn't have known about him without googling him from Deathlist. His death was pretty likely, but not very deathlisty. - Connie Sawyer, she was 105 and in her day had her fame, but she wasn't too famous or her death wasn't expected.

YoungWillz 21,142 Posted December 29, 2018 Well, June Whitfield was on my list, so that's 15 hits for me, and yes I will say so far. Can't see me getting beat by the Committee this year. YW - 15; DL - 12. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
