Death Impends 7,964 Posted February 24, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted February 24, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 24, 2018 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)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 26, 2018 Update #23 for Lewis Gilbert and Vanessa Goodwin.

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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,725 Posted March 27, 2018 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 SKS and WF - DI JJ and GG - JR JJ and WF - JR GG and WF - DI Pete Sampras and Dean Francis - TDC Pete Sampras and SKS - JR Pete Sampras and JJ - JR PS and GG - JR PS and WF - DI 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,964 Posted March 27, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 30, 2018 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,964 Posted April 30, 2018 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormfarmer 427 Posted May 1, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
