But then I counted 21 so everything seemed alright - just noticed that I had Book twice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted June 12, 2017 Yay - first time I've led a Dead Pool. Revisiting my team it's funny that the one I'm most concerned about not dying by end of April is number 1 on my list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormfarmer 427 Posted June 21, 2017 Chessmaster Zoltan Sarosy (a solo pick) goes on the 19th of June. 55 pts isn't much but it beats a sharp stick in the eye. I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted June 28, 2017 Well, no doubt about the obligatory Daily Mail/AP copy/paste: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4645604/MLB-pitcher-lost-record-27-row-dies-51.html Too bad he didn't last until July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I'll still be here every day on my phone, I probably won't have much access to a PC, and doing updates on mobile is a royal pain in the ass. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted July 3, 2017 Update #9 for Smith Hart.

Details to follow in the Holiday Thread... Edit: Although I did cross Smith Hart off for GrimUpNorth in the masterlist, I forgot to change his score. Edit 2: Haha, looks like I gave the points to GraveDanger instead. My bad. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted July 3, 2017 I had him (quite low down my list) but my score hasn't changed between update 8 and 9? Can you double check please - thanks. And enjoy your holiday! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted July 29, 2017 Update #10 for Gretel Bergmann and June Foray. Jagraj Singh and John Wraw join the List of the Lost. msc 1435 The Dead Cow 1235 Captain Chorizo 1210 Jiroemon Kimura 1170 DeathImpends 1150 Joey Russ 1140 Grim Up North 1135 drol 1045 Book 1030 gcreptile 925 RadGuy 830 Shaun of the Dead 675 YoungWillz 550 GraveDanger 515 Bibliogryphon 500 Wormfarmer 465 Deathray 400 The Unknown Man 390 ImNotHades 350 Davy Jones' Locker 100 Gooseberry Crumble 0 Singh and Wraw not getting QOs definitely hurts a lot of people. 530 lost points for both msc and drol! But never underestimate the power of Guardian/Telegraph/Times backlog... P.S. In regards to my recent username change, I'll just keep listing myself as RadGuy on the scoreboard. P.P.S. I'm still on vacation for almost two weeks, but I did have the chance to access a computer and to make this update. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted July 29, 2017 Not that surprised at Singh, but I'm really surprised that John Wraw hasn't received an obit yet. Surely a bishop who supports gay rights would be a cert for a telegraph obit, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,954 Posted August 3, 2017 They both got QOs, so I am at 1280. But msc gains 530 points too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted August 3, 2017 5 minutes ago, drol said: They both got QOs, so I am at 1280. But msc gains 530 points too... 10 left alive (Al-Baghdadi almost certainly gone to limbo-land, QO wise) from team Pan Breed here. Hallyday, Bracknell, Downie, Dean Francis, Meads, Cameron-Blackie, Rayya Elias, Charlotte Rae, Greg Gilbert, Sgt Anna Irwin. Will be curious to see how many are left by end of the game.
