Joey Russ 7,209 Posted May 4, 2017 Think three non obiters on my team pretty much diminishes my chances on this dead pool, assuming nonobiters can't be transferred on the transfer date. On the bright side, I wasn't the only person who selected Ben Suisala for this dead pool. (Waves to gcreptile) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,388 Posted May 16, 2017 1. Wouldn't this count as a QO for Darren Sawchuk? It's Yahoo, which is a qualifying obit, and while its Canadian Yahoo, the rules don't specify British, and in fact, given FOX and CNN are used, imply Yahoo in general. You'll note its an obit with his name in the headline. A quick glance around the net gives a DOB as 1965. 2. Here is a Yahoo obit on Vicki Letele. I'll admit to being surprised there was no Associated Press obit for Paul McGill, or a CNN/FOX/Yahoo In Brief on Sasha Lakovic, so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,930 Posted May 29, 2017 Too bad Sims and Suisala didn't obit... I would be running away with this. But it's the right punishment for wading through the swamps of FFBI-picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,716 Posted June 12, 2017 Errol Christie for lots of people and Helen Fawkes (awaiting obit) too for me (and probably some others) . Time for an update before it becomes too big a job again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,716 Posted June 14, 2017 He doesn't know - he's in the Deadpool Development room hatching up some more experimental ideas for new Dead Pools which he is hoping to release soon provided his Research and Development Grant comes through from Deathlist HQ. This rather excellent dead pool is one of my favourites so I hope Shaun manages to keep it up to date this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,267 Posted June 14, 2017 I think so.Update tomorrow.I put it off as I thought both Christie and Van Zandvliet would die an hour after I finished so was waiting for them to go.Both lasted longer than I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
