Now you have nicked Fanny Waterman back off me I was surprised when something appeared in my LinkedIn account today. The University of Leeds will be holding a celebration of the life of Fanny Waterman on 11th March and the great lady will be in attendance and interviewed about her work and legacy. 

 

This is one of my favourite Deadpools but having got off to great start I have had some bad luck recently.

Candidates only qualify if they have a BBC national news article about their death and or an obituary The game carries on until we run out of names. As soon as one candidate from anyone`s list dies the pool will be immediately restarted and it is first come first serve. You can even be a bitch and steal someone`s entire list if you wish. It is a competitive game.

 

I don't think I have a handle on how this Twenty/Twenty works. Does someone who has a hit have to include the obit before we replenish our lists, or is finding an obit for someone else's list enough? Does my new list not count because I provided a link to Ursula Le Guin's obit, without having her on my list?

As far as I know the qualifying obit triggers the new round. Even if UKLG was not on your list by posting the qualifying you get to pick first for the next round. I have been the beneficiary of other diligent obit hunting.

Thanks. That's how I understood it, and I saw one of my new Twenty/Twenty picks who, yes, I admit to stealing as in the rules, listed in another's Twenty/Twenty List. Did someone post an obit for a Twenty/Twenty list member in addition to Ursula K Le Guin between 23/01/18 16h02 and the timestamp of this posting? If not, it looks like Fixed Business needs to replace the 1923 Glynis Johns entry. Otherwise (i.e. no QO for anyone else in the interim), I'll revert to my pre-UKLG-Obit entry.

When is the list updated? Weekly?, Bi-weekly or at random?

Ah I just realised you added Glynis Johns, gg. I'll change it later if you need.

EDIT: changed to Gloria Henry

Is CBC Obit for Marty Allen okay? I'm surprised the CBC can find space for reporting outside the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
