maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 1, 2017 Google says he's dead, no other sources... conspiracy theories anyone? He still "is" on Wiki - but he's toppling by the looks of it. 700+ points likely to be dished soon, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 2, 2017 Google has him as dead on December 31st. Mixed feelings about that. Pros: - 366 Deathrace points. - Didn't have him in the DDP so this will fuck up other folks' teams. Neutral: - If still alive, probably in final hours, so 360+ Deathrace points likely anyway. - I don't think most DDP contenders had him anyway due to his old ass age. Cons: - He's in my Shadow List, which means I'd have to edit everything by moving everyone one step up and putting in my sub as #50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perfect Passing 277 Posted January 2, 2017 Quote from www.encyclopedia.com/people/history/spanish-and-portuguese-history-biographies/mario-soares The very last paragraph: - ""Perhaps the most distinguished characteristic of Mário Soares as a politician was his ability to rebound after a loss. "There are victories and defeats in politics," he was quoted as saying after his 1986 presidential victory, "and what is necessary is to maintain your convictions, to keep battling."" ...........and breathing.

Check rule 10 of the Deathrace which makes it clear enough that to qualify as a team member the pick must be alive at "00-01 hrs 1 Jan" That said - Soares appears to have life; not that he knows much about it. Wiki says he "is" not "was" and there are no fawning obits just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiki says he "is" not "was" and there are no fawning obits just yet. Barring Wiki and rumours (the former anyone can edit, the latter we got about the Queen, and she's still going), Rule 11 seems to be accurate for Soares if it now turns out he died on the 31st. Widely believed to be still alive, no obits to the contrary, surely? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She would for the right bloke - someone with influence and a long time left to live. Soares slumbers on, eh? Another ten days or so and he won't present 700 points to Deathracers.

Considering your first wife is dead and six feet underground I guess she did go pretty low. Reminds me of the old gag... "Why does Scotland bury folk six feet under, yet in England its twelve?"
