Loughlin spoilt my team. The rest may be goners.

Hm... Jose Jose the only one left I'm certain will go down. I think Gilbert and Bracknell still have another two months in them. The two Aussie politicos and old man Frankland could go either way.

With only Bracknell (everyone has her) and Charlotte Rae (too few points) left as likely, I can pretty much concede here, though. Those 240 point lost on two surprising non-QO-ers were killer.

Hm. Jose Jose sure thing. Stefansson very likely, but he’s only worth 40 points, so it wouldn’t help me too much. Gilbert, Bush, and Bracknell iffy. Unsure about Littlefeather. Sampras won’t die (not sure why I considered him at all). Most likely threats for me are Goodwin, Mack, and Francis imo (he closed his gofundme page, not really the best sign)...

Gcreptile picked him in the Easter Pool in 2017 (likely as a set up) so either you fell for a Rick Davies gambit, or you were trying to double bluff someone else and it sort of went wrong.

Update #23 for Lewis Gilbert and Vanessa Goodwin.

 

DeathImpends 3350

Grim Up North 3330

Joey Russ 3240

The Dead Cow 3110

drol 3050
msc 3000

Book 2825

CaptainChorizo 2820

RadGuy 2755

Wormfarmer 2565

Jiromeon Kimura 2550

gcreptile 2235

Bibliogryphon 1410

I was gonna wait for a third hit to make this update but it's been quiet for weeks, so I'm not gonna hold off on awarding Goodwin points any longer. DeathImpends takes the lead with just over a month to go...

 

To answer the above post - yes, this pool will be running for 2018-19. The new host, Captain Chorizo, should be opening the new thread in a week or two. Y'all make sure to give him a big 'like' when he does.

Thanks Rad. So as it is so close at top with only a month to go here's a bit of a who wins if what happens. I mainly did this to see who would need to die for me to win and then expanded it by a couple of choices so there may be a couple of options I have not included. For example in the double deaths Sacheen Littlefeather has not been included but might help Joey in a couple of cases.

 

msc might spring into the reckoning if a QO turned up for one of his corpses.

 

No Deaths - DI wins obviously

 

One Death

Leah Bracknell - DI

Charlotte Rae - GUN

Nobby Stiles - GUN

GHW Bush - GUN

Dean Francis - TDC

SKS - GUN

Jose Jose - JR

Ted Mack - DI

Greg Gilbert - JR

William Frankland - DI

Pete Sampras - DI

Any other single death - DI

 

Two Deaths

Ted Mack and Anyone - DI

Leah Bracknell and GHW Bush - Book comes storming through the pack

Leah Bracknell and anyone else on above One Death List - same winner as One Death List except if JR

Leah Bracknell and Jose Jose - DI

Leah Bracknell and GG - DI

Charlotte Rae and Anyone else except Ted Mack and Jose Jose - GUN

Charlotte Rae and Jose Jose - JR & GUN tie

Nobby Stiles and anyone on One Death List except Ted Mack and Jose Jose - GUN

Nobby Stiles and Jose Jose - JR

GHW Bush and Dean Francis - GUN

GHW Bush and SKS - GUN

GHW Bush and Jose Jose - JR

GHW Bush and GG - I think JR but have not checked everyone

GHW Bush and Pete Sampras - JR

GHW Bush and William Frankland - DI

Dean Francis and SKS - GUN

Dean Francis and Jose Jose - TDC

Dean Francis and Greg Gilbert - TDC

Dean Francis and WF - TDC

SKS and Jose Jose - JR

SKS and GG - JR

Forgot about how I was doing entirely in this... guess I have a pretty good chance of making it two in a row, with Jose Jose seemingly not an absolute guarantee anymore. But him, Rae, Stiles, and SKS still the biggest threats. Though Mack the Knifed is just as plausible a bet to die in the next month and a bit.

Is this one still running for 2018/19? 

 

 

Yes it will be up April 5th or 6th ish.

Rules will be 97% the sameish with some slight alterations of Obit sources and removal's of Cancer Mum's/Athlete's wives etc unless they have some actual fame/notibility outside of their corpsey status.

Thanking you!

 

I don’t think the phrase ‘corpsey status’ will be out of my head for a while...  :D

It went really quiet after Goodwin, as I don't think there were any hits since then. Interesting. Looks like Death Impends will win for the second year in the row...

Congratulations, DI!

 

How close it was in the end...

 

I hope to improve my position this time.

Can’t really complain about being third despite having a really poor pick. Well done Death Impends on another win.

Woohoo! My growing skepticism of Goodwin obiting and Nevin dying might have hit hard in the DDP but my different attitude to them in April 2017 was a nice little savior in here. Good game guys.

Only 6 people still alive on my list, I just did a lousy job of ranking them, and of picking people of significance that someone would care enough to write them up.  I good lesson learned, will I learn it in 2018-19?  I'll take the top 10 finish.  Thanks for the fun.

Well done DI - thought I might sneak past you in the last month and GHWB gave me a glimpse of victory but wasn't to be.

 

Thanks for running Rad and enjoy competing hassle free going forward.
