Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted December 26, 2016 OK. Your opening post had this pool ending January 1st, so I thought we were close to the end. If it goes the full 12 months, my comments came a little early. Awe I'd have quite liked to join this game too next month as I assumed it was starting afresh on the 1St January as per the Opening post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted December 26, 2016 Ah, yes, the opening post seems to be confusing people. I had originally planned to do this like Shaun did when he introduced Shaun's Death By Numbers: introduce it in the middle of a year, and if people like it, start a "real" round in January. But then a couple of folks said they like the idea of a May-to-May pool, so I agreed to that. But I don't think I ever mentioned agreeing to it. I'll edit the first post then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries mate -I will try to remember to do a list in April and hope I don't have a senior moment or two and forget! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 10, 2017 A small update for Huston Smith and Clare Hollingsworth. I did another look-through-the-obscure-picks-to-see-if-I-missed-any, and it turns out I missed Masamitsu Yoshida. He died in October, but no obit anyway. Shaun sneaks onto the podium!

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted January 29, 2017 Pomsel's gone, which will give me a much needed boost: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/brunhilde-pomsel-secretary-to-nazi-propaganda-minister-joseph-goebbels-dies-at-106/2017/01/29/ab645200-dcf6-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html?utm_term=.294dfa2846cb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted March 14, 2017 Hudnut eventually got a daily mail obit http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4046796/Former-Indianapolis-Mayor-William-Hudnut-dies-84.html And Robert Osborne died last week http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4287182/Turner-Classic-Movies-host-Robert-Osborne-dies-age-84.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks, CC! I haven't updated for so long because there have only been 2-3 deaths since the last updated, all uniques IIRC. But Hudnut and Osborne call for an update sometime today or tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone interested in doing this again starting May 1st? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,979 Posted March 14, 2017 I'll be up for a second round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 14, 2017 Well, YoungWillz linked the rules. Here are some potential changes to discuss: Wormfarmer wants a smaller point gap between ranks. If others support that too, I might change it to: 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 275, 250, 225, 200, 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 85, 70, 55, 50, 45, 40. Also, you get no extra points, but I might consider an extra, say, 20 points for a unique pick. Anybody care to share their opinions on this? I will post the scoreboard update tomorrow. And in early April, I will make a new thread for Round 2, and you can start submitting your teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormfarmer 427 Posted March 15, 2017 If you are going to do an update, might as well include my solo hit for Lynne Stewart. My bucket list includes finishing Top 3 here. The price is right, I will play again. I am also ok with a solo bonus, but what about using it as a tiebreake? That is, no outright points, but if two players tie, most solo hits gives them the win.

Now that I think about it, that's a better idea. Keep the no-extra-points, and use unique picks as a tiebreak. If they're also tied for unique picks, the winner will be the one with the youngest average age of hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted March 15, 2017 I like the tiebreak rule for unique hits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 15, 2017 Updated for Pomsel, Aikman, Osborne, and Stewart. All were unique hits, but that doesn't matter in this game. DeathImpends 1600 Book 1570 Wormfarmer 1370 Shaun of the Dead 1305 msc 1285 Captain Chorizo 1010 The Unknown Man 960 RadGuy 950 gcreptile 945 Jiromeon Kimura 895 ImNotHades 690 Davy Jones' Locker 625 Bibilogryphon 55 YoungWillz 30 Wormfarmer's patience with Lynne Stewart brings him onto the podium. Captain Chorizo becomes the 6th person to crack 1000 points. Also, Davy Jones' Locker, despite getting 250 points for Pomsel, doesn't move at all in the standings.
