It wasn't all bad for DDP top 50 selections going 1-3 as Daisy Berkowitz and Chuck Berry finished in the 41-50 range on DDP while neither made the Crowdsource or Deathlist 50. If you are saying Daisy Berkowitz was in the top 50 in DDP last year I find that absolutely stunning. Extremely shocking. Highly questionable. I'd be far more inclined to believe he was one of the top 5 'most dropped names from 2016 to 2017'. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy Berkowitz by 36 teams. Almost certainly in the top 50. Lots of people going "well, this must be the year" or, like Gcreptile, using the stats for that type of cancer to make an educated guess.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 2, 2018 So here's a headline about a mum that died TWELVE MINUTES into the new year. Got me to thinking....this being the stats thread...anyone recall a person who was an extremely early 'first hit' on Jan 1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forget the exact time, but on January 1st 2013, I dozed off about the usual time (3am after "new Deathlist chat", real life stuff, etc), I'm pretty sure I woke up around 10am, and Octopus of Odstock's DDP joker had already died in the intervening 7 hours! And it wasn't a Famous for Dying person too, it was a sports commentator (ok, on cricket but cricket is huge with English folk) and he'd seen some "CMJ is nearing the end" tweets at Christmas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted January 2, 2018 I dunno if I'm misremembering, but I'm almost sure there was a "first death of the millennium" about three minutes into 2000.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 2, 2018 I had a 'hit' three years ago with guitarist Jeff Golub (who was almost a last second cut), which was being announced by early afternoon.

As opposed to 'gahn' or 'gun', which I think everyone outside of OreGINN says. As for the residents, I believe (but may be corrected) that it is pronounced 'Or-e-GO-nians', long O.

Ah yes of course. Getting my wires crossed. You are correct her obit is already written waiting to publish (maybe too early by accident). I noticed she was at a high level of activity on Worshington the past couple weeks, complaining about this and that as a good Democrat should be doing I reckon. Perhaps it was that which led me to strike her name in the end (she was one of my last 10 DDP cuts, but I used her in my own home league DP as my 20th name...I can't use all the obtuse names like here). Pancreatic can knock someone down inside of a month of course so maybe I will regret that decision, like so many come December lol. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 12, 2018 So I looked over again at the list of joker's for 2017.

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 14, 2018 So I'm not entirely sure if I should start a separate thread for this or not, but I am interested in figuring out what is the best potential 100% common knowledge team out there, and I want to try and see how the more popular hits start to shift. So this is what I have so far (most of these names down below aren't dead yet, I only put them in there to try to make it look neater with a full team instead of two names, so those are highlighted in orange for names I think could die in 2018, but they probably won't all be dead in 2018 (Goodwin might not obit either)). So here's what it looks like so far: Leah Bracknell Patrick Cryne Rayya Elias (joker at the moment) Dean Francis Greg Gilbert Vanessa Goodwin Clive James Tessa Jowell Devin Lima Peter Lorimer John McCain Liam Miller Olivia Newton-John Fernando Ricksen Nobby Stiles Stefan Karl Stefansson Bernard Tapie Morgan Tsvangirai Marieke Vervoort Bobby Zarin If you do want a thread for this, say so and I will do it.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted January 24, 2018 Here's the active member stats, which I found surprisingly high, but I suppose there is a hardcore of about 20-30 of us who contribute the vast majority of posts. 1 Sep 2003 1 1 Oct 2003 8 1 Nov 2003 6 1 Dec 2003 9 1 Jan 2004 13 1 Feb 2004 11 1 Mar 2004 14 1 Apr 2004 18 1 May 2004 23 1 Jun 2004 32 1 Jul 2004 29 1 Aug 2004 30 1 Sep 2004 29 1 Oct 2004 37 1 Nov 2004 48 1 Dec 2004 45 1 Jan 2005 65 1 Feb 2005 84 1 Mar 2005 71 1 Apr 2005 83 1 May 2005 60 1 Jun 2005 76 1 Jul 2005 84 1 Aug 2005 84 1 Sep 2005 91 1 Oct 2005 111 1 Nov 2005 102 1 Dec 2005 107 1 Jan 2006 144 1 Feb 2006 114 1 Mar 2006 108 1 Apr 2006 88 1 May 2006 96 1 Jun 2006 87 1 Jul 2006 86 1 Aug 2006 90 1 Sep 2006 94 1 Oct 2006 111 1 Nov 2006 114 1 Dec 2006 137 1 Jan 2007 140 1 Feb 2007 115 1 Mar 2007 98 1 Apr 2007 85 1 May 2007 83 1 Jun 2007 91 1 Jul 2007 98 1 Aug 2007 101 1 Sep 2007 100 1 Oct 2007 84 1 Nov 2007 82 1 Dec 2007 82 1 Jan 2008 114 1 Feb 2008 88 1 Mar 2008 93 1 Apr 2008 87 1 May 2008 69 1 Jun 2008 82 1 Jul 2008 77 1 Aug 2008 85 1 Sep 2008 79 1 Oct 2008 73 1 Nov 2008 75 1 Dec 2008 99 1 Jan 2009 121 1 Feb 2009 90 1 Mar 2009 118 1 Apr 2009 87 1 May 2009 79 1 Jun 2009 113 1 Jul 2009 119 1 Aug 2009 100 1 Sep 2009 98 1 Oct 2009 85 1 Nov 2009 96 1 Dec 2009 105 1 Jan 2010 110 1 Feb 2010 86 1 Mar 2010 97 1 Apr 2010 77 1 May 2010 82 1 Jun 2010 76 1 Jul 2010 68 1 Aug 2010 76 1 Sep 2010 71 1 Oct 2010 90 1 Nov 2010 77 1 Dec 2010 90 1 Jan 2011 121 1 Feb 2011 69 1 Mar 2011 88 1 Apr 2011 74 1 May 2011 90 1 Jun 2011 64 1 Jul 2011 82 1 Aug 2011 78 1 Sep 2011 71 1 Oct 2011 68 1 Nov 2011 70 1 Dec 2011 79 1 Jan 2012 92 1 Feb 2012 76 1 Mar 2012 67 1 Apr 2012 69 1 May 2012 75 1 Jun 2012 87 1 Jul 2012 77 1 Aug 2012 78 1 Sep 2012 71 1 Oct 2012 70 1 Nov 2012 106 1 Dec 2012 127 1 Jan 2013 129 1 Feb 2013 101 1 Mar 2013 92 1 Apr 2013 110 1 May 2013 87 1 Jun 2013 105 1 Jul 2013 106 1 Aug 2013 74 1 Sep 2013 71 1 Oct 2013 81 1 Nov 2013 72 1 Dec 2013 137 1 Jan 2014 121 1 Feb 2014 93 1 Mar 2014 89 1 Apr 2014 84 1 May 2014 75 1 Jun 2014 90 1 Jul 2014 71 1 Aug 2014 85 1 Sep 2014 84 1 Oct 2014 86 1 Nov 2014 78 1 Dec 2014 92 1 Jan 2015 114 1 Feb 2015 94 1 Mar 2015 97 1 Apr 2015 83 1 May 2015 92 1 Jun 2015 95 1 Jul 2015 94 1 Aug 2015 113 1 Sep 2015 87 1 Oct 2015 109 1 Nov 2015 108 1 Dec 2015 127 1 Jan 2016 144 1 Feb 2016 133 1 Mar 2016 122 1 Apr 2016 120 1 May 2016 113 1 Jun 2016 116 1 Jul 2016 95 1 Aug 2016 103 1 Sep 2016 94 1 Oct 2016 107 1 Nov 2016 111 1 Dec 2016 165 1 Jan 2017 195 1 Feb 2017 147 1 Mar 2017 139 1 Apr 2017 111 1 May 2017 138 1 Jun 2017 157 1 Jul 2017 133 1 Aug 2017 151 1 Sep 2017 165 1 Oct 2017 167 1 Nov 2017 168 1 Dec 2017 205 1 Jan 2018 268 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted February 5, 2018 So, about 1 month from the beginning of the year, I have unhighlighted Patrick Cryne back to black, as well as adding Jessica Falkholt in place of Tapie (I just chose to remove a random 7 pointer) as I slowly evolve this into a team that you could've made with 20. I'm not sure if Falkholt will be in the final 20 at the end of the year as car crashes are always 50/50, and I felt this should be more faced on known illness rather than the most likely to die. I have also thought about adding Mark E Smith and Paul Alcock, but decided against them since they didn't receive that much publicity and are only worth 8 points whereas Bobby Zarin already received a lot of public attention at least on these forums. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve this so I could put out the best possible team by the end of the year...

Death Impends 7,979 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Another thought sparked by Rev BG's death, the last surviving people on the DL by year of birth: 1890: Rose Kennedy (d. 1995) 1893: Andres Segovia (d. 1987) 1894: Jim Joel (d. 1992) 1896: George Burns (d. 1996) 1898: Ninette de Valois (d. 2001) 1899: Lord Denning (d. 1999) 1900: Queen Mother (d. 2002) 1901: Princess Alice (d. 2004) 1902: Brooke Astor (d. 2007) 1903: Bob Hope (d. 2003) 1904: John Gielgud (d. 2000) 1905: Charles Lane (d. 2007) 1906: Albert Hofmann (d. 2008) 1907: Oscar Niemeyer (d. 2012) 1908: Claude Levi-Strauss (d. 2009) 1909: Ernest Gallo (d. 2007) 1910: Luise Rainer (d. 2014) 1911: Joseph Barbera (d. 2006) 1912: Karl Malden (d. 2009) 1913: Erich Priebke (d. 2013) 1914: Chapman Pincher (d. 2014) 1915: Herman Wouk (d. 2019) 1916: Olivia de Havilland (d. 2020) 1917: Vera Lynn (d. 2020) 1918: Billy Graham (d. 2018) 1919: Lord Carrington (d. 2018) 1920: George Shultz (d. 2021) 1921: Prince Philip (d. 2021) 1922: Norman Lear (d. 2023) 1923: Glynis Johns (d. 2024) 1924: Jimmy Carter (living) 1925: Dick Van Dyke, Jacques Delors, and Pete Murray (living) Stopped there, as there's 5 living 1922 names! Usually these days if you're on the DL, you're on it by your mid-90s, but there are the occasional Luise Rainer surprise additions, so the last few years there could still see a new debutant or two.
