gcreptile 10,979 Posted July 7, 2021 Dilip Kumar's death means that my G.I. generation has died off. Might be a first in this game, but only by hair's breadth. Dead Cow, for example, only has Clarissa Eden left. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted July 7, 2021 Time to find two replacements for not obiting Geoffrey Robinson, I guess. FW de Klerk Phil Read 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Following on from @gcreptile's quote in the Mahathir Mohamed thread, less than a year until this has been going for 7 years. I see quite a few players haven't updated their lists for dead.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted November 29, 2023 Sticky Vicky is a hit for me here (Christy Dignam was, too). I was leading this game for the longest time, but I wonder if that's still the case. I've got two names left in the Silent Generation, Owen Glenn and Mahathir Mohamed. The latter was a big mistake I guess. But in the end, it will all come down to the Boomer Generation anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,076 Posted November 30, 2023 Henry Kissinger takes me to 36 hits overall. Just Jimmy Carter from the earliest generation, so update soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted November 30, 2023 I think this game lives on without updates ;). I mean, one could have a look at it, but there are a lot of "dead" teams, with not-replaced non-obits, occasionally wrong birth dates, and such. If we're lucky, there'll be a clear winner in 5-10 years, they live, we live, the forum lives, and we're all happy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
