Everyone who got selected and made it to January 1st has entered the official DDP competition, minus Eileen Derbyshire and Billy Graham, who has to sit out due to being the last two selected. There's a good batch of dead certs here, and some who will survive to 2018 (I'm specifically talking to MC Ren here), so let's see how they do. Might do fairly well - top 50 for sure; but some of the likely topplers are not exactly spring chickens and unique pick bonus points strike me as highly unlikely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,942 Posted January 8, 2017 Should get a fair few hits, but I can't see the points tally adding up to much due to age/well-knownness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,029 Posted January 8, 2017 Could see around half the team gone in 2017 if all the cards fall right. Already got Sarstedt, after that Skellern, Coward, Michael, Christie, and Wetton are certs, Sallis, Baddiel, and Campbell have been tottering for a while, and Morano, Kristal, and Hollingworth are Methuselahs.

Joey Russ 7,255 Posted February 2, 2017 Death Slam Form Guide #14 Desmond Carrington Dead pool wank fodder of the highest order - doddery, already ancient and battling multiple health problems; a recipe spiced up with the realisation that - by common consent - he lived for his work and he's just been invalided into retirement (and fuck knows, you'd have to be in a really bad way to be so unfit you can't talk into a microphone and name a few tunes). Oh aye, and it's been a major year for old school DJ deaths - Wogan, The Cashman, Sir Jimmy... You weren't that far off actually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who got selected and made it to January 1st has entered the official DDP competition, minus Eileen Derbyshire and Billy Graham, who has to sit out due to being the last two selected. There's a good batch of dead certs here, and some who will survive to 2018 (I'm specifically talking to MC Ren here), so let's see how they do. Just a quick little update (though not for medals), we're currently looking at 9/25 dead at the moment. Weebl has the 6th hit for his wise choice of prog rocker John Wetton. Shaun gets 7th for Sara Coward, someone who probably died later than some people expected. Grim is 8th for selecting Peter Skellern, who also was the joker for the Advent Avalanche DDP team due to being chosen first. And the world's oldest person, Emma Morano, makes Deathers the person who is in 9th place. With almost 5 months away from the beginning of the original competition, I'm wondering how many will be dead before the time of the next Advent Avalanche rolls around... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just looked over your list again and only 2 people who you considered likely hits still remain, King Michael and Colin Baddiel. What's even odder is that the Advent Avalanche has more points than the Living End at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,255 Posted August 12, 2017 Crazy idea, I know, but does anyone think that the Advent Avalanche could break the 100 point mark at this point, since half of that team is dead already? Though apart from King Michael, I don't think there are any topplers likely to die and obit at this point, so I still think it's unlikely... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The deaths of Glen Campbell and Yisreal Kristal has made drol and time 12th and 13th place respectively. I'm bringing this up because we're less than two months away from opening a new thread for essentially what I call the start of the major dead pooling season.

maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted September 19, 2017 Death Slam Form Guide #1 Colin Baddiel Grumpy grandpa with celebrity son and an increasingly slight grip on anything resembling the plot. The subject of his son's stand up routines of late and also a documentary which made clear the steady slide into the abyss that continues in the oldster's existence. Increasingly popular with dead pickers and likely to be a hotter favourite this year than he was when I picked him for the same competition last year.

msc 18,512 Posted September 19, 2017 Aye, the fact that the average life expectancy for someone with his type of dementia hits in 2018 for him iirc should see Baddiel Sr on far more deadpool teams next year should he live that far. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,255 Posted October 20, 2017 Just a heads up, I will be making a new thread for this game in about two weeks time or so. Looking at the list above, their appears to be 11 names that can be reused if they all make December 1st, including the king who seems to be hanging around forever and that mysterious MC Ren, who I have no idea on how he survived one whole year. Granted, those two are probably at the top of people's list on who they pick if they make the starting line... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
