maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted October 29, 2017 It's fast, it's furious it's f***in' good fun. Teams of 20 topplers posted on this thread or PM'd to MPFC will be collected into a masterlist to provide a carnival of carnage, the counting of which goes live in the first second of 2018. Points aplenty pour into the scoreboard until someone snags the stupendous total of 2018, at which point the event that used to be the fastest deadpool in common useage (until MPFC started something faster!) slams on the brakes and the lucky winner is duly given metaphorical back-slaps and allowed to claim a prize worth about a tenner (though tradition thus far dictates this turns into a charitable donation)*. Closing date for entries is midnight on 30 December 2017. · Bear in mind an alternative to the charitable donation is a double measure of spirts or a couple of pints bought at a DL Con and such an event is scheduled for 24 March! And here's that list of entrants in full: Bibliogryphon - bg Book - bk Captain Chorizo - cc Dead Cow - dc Deadsox - ds Death Impends - di Deathray - dy Devon Death Trip - dt Drol - dr Earl - el FixedBusiness - fb FrankieSayRelax - fs GC Reptile - gr Gooseberry Crumble - gc Grigori - gg Grim Deeper - gd GrimUpNorth - gu JoeyRuss - jr Lard Bazaar - lb Maryportfuncity - mp MSC - ms NiceGuyEddie - ng Phantom of the Midway - pm TheQuimReaper - qr Sean - sn Toast - to Torva Messor - tm The Unknown Man - tu Mr Whit - mw YorkshireBanker - yb YoungWillz - yw Ol' Clive James gets into the Deathrace spirit, simply glad to have a presenting job again and totally heedless that he's now in the firing line after our previous MCs - David Cassidy and Johnny Hallyday - withdrew their services to those making deadpool picks for 2018.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted October 29, 2017 Sick, us?! No way - there are proper rules and everything, look: Deathrace 2018 - Those Rules in Full: 1 - The object of the Deathrace is to be the first contestant to reach 2018 points. 2 - To enter the Deathrace a contestant must have:i: a team of twenty topplers ("topplers" must be at least 18 years old on 1 Jan 2018; but are otherwise unrestricted). ii: Deathlist membership (i.e. be at least a pointless ranter and at most a dedicated Cumbrian corpse hound, or summat) 3 - Entries close promptly at midnight on 30 December and entry can be made either by sending a team of twenty to MPFC via PM hereabouts and/or by posting a team of twenty on the Deathrace 2018 thread. Once entered a team cannot be altered. MPFC makes sterling efforts to get a response from those careless types who omit a joker from their teams but if such efforts come to nothing the pick in first place on the list is - by default - deemed to be the joker.4 - Players score points every time a team member dies and accrues an obit (see point 9 below) and the score for each death is calculated as one point for each complete calendar day remaining in 2018 after the death of the team member; so a death on 1 January earns 365 pts, a death on 2 January earns 364 pts etc. 5 - Each team must nominate one member as a joker and the joker scores double points on death. 6 - The winner is the first player to reach or exceed 2018 pts. 7 - In the event that a death or deaths on a specific day push more than one player beyond a winning score the player with the highest overall score will be deemed to be the winner. 8 - In the event that two or more players tie for victory a Deathrace play off will ensue with all potential winners continuing to compete until such time as one potential winner scores more points than any other potential winner (such points continuing to be accrued as per the scoring system described in point 4 above). 9 - An "obit" in the context of the Deathrace is any news report in English from a reliable source. Such sources include - but are not limited to - UK national press, UK national broadcast organisations, foreign press and broadcast organisations with an English language thread to their communication, trade press in English, local news organisations reporting in English and coverage in specialist online sites, such as those monitoring the well-being of super-centenarians. Where dispute arises over the qualifying nature of a news source for obit purposes MPFC's decision is final. But he wants fast and furious competition and is generally very amenable to low hanging dead pool fruit of all varieties. 10 - To qualify for entry purposes team members must be alive at 00-01 hrs on 1 January 2018 or qualify for the Raymond Hewlitt Memorial Exemption (RHME) (see point 11). 11 - In honour of everybody's favourite Maddie-implicated paedo scum a candidate widely believed to be alive on 1 January and subsequently proven to have died previously will be awarded 366 points in the event that a Deathrace qualifying obit subsequently appears for said candidate. In the event that a Deathrace qualifying obit for the candidate is subsequently proven to have existed prior to commencement of the Deathrace all points will be voided. RHME points are only available during competition and in the event that a winner has been declared before discovery of a qualifyiing RHME candidate no revision of the final result will occur. Similarly, if some lucky candidate is awarded RHME points and these points are still in play at the time a winner is declared the points will not subsequently be voided and may - therefore - count towards a championship. All disputes relating to RHME will be resolved by the astute judgement of MPFC and there is no appeals procedure (though all sides of opionion are warmly invited to liven up the Deathrace thread by venting their fury). 11a - Similarly to pt 11 above, if an obited death occurs during play of the Deathrace and is missed despite MPFC's best efforts to stay in touch and/or the spirited efforts of Deathrace participants and said death is missed in totting up points, after which a winner is declared, then this death will not count for competition purposes. The same is true in the case of a known death gathering a late obit and therefore allowing some other competitor to be declared a winner. All disputes relating to rule 11a will be resolved by the astute judgement of MPFC and there is no appeals procedure (though all sides of opionion are warmly invited to liven up the Deathrace thread by venting their fury). 12 - In the event that Deathlist editing options or other online trickery is discovered to have been employed in the editing of teams, those duly fingered for such cheating will be removed from the Deathrace and banned for life from subsequent entry into Deathraces. 13 - The prize will be awarded as follows:i: Should the winner agree to attend a DLCon with MPFC a double measure of alcholic drinks (pints, wine or spirits) will be supplied by MPFC along with much hearty congratulations and back-slapping. ii: A carefully chosen and appropriate prize will be posted to the winner (such as the DVD copy of the original Deathrace movie supplied to the 2009 champion). iii: MPFC will make a charitable donation to a cause of the winner's choice (as has been the case with four of the five existing winnings of the Deathrace). This course of action is highly encouraged and is known to show dead poolers as something other than the sicko scum many ranters believe us to be. AND FINALLY...A masterlist of entries will be posted after the closing date. MPFC will undertake to update the scoreboard at least once every seven days. On completion of Deathrace activities the thread will get lively for a short while as losing contestants and spectactors offer well-deserved congratulations to the skilful and highly talented new champion, after which time it is expected that the cooling corpse of the thread will be allowed to gently sink into oblivion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted October 29, 2017 Bloody hell. You're early this year! Anyhow Deathrace Form Guide #1 The 41st President of the United States has been suffering declining health for nearly half a decade now, along with his wife who will no doubt be later mentioned. He's achieved an awful lot in his life, but sadly is now a shell of his former self; and in the past week has suffered accusations of sexual misconduct from idiots who don't know what real sexual assualt is some American actresses.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 29, 2017 Deathrace form Guide #3 Rayya Elias is an author that is most notable for being the wife of well known author Elizabeth Gilbert. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t done work on her own, cause she has written a couple of books as well, which makes her more than a fringes to fame pick. Last year, she was a cult pick for some of the top players, but there’s no doubt next year that if she’s still alive next year she’ll be a pick for many of us on the deathrace...

Deathray 2,940 Posted October 29, 2017 Deathrace Form Guide #7 Ray Wilson - oldest member of the 1966 World Cup winning side. He played for Huddersfield for 12 years, before shorter but still decent stints at Everton, Bradford and Oldham. However he has apparently become a keen artist whilst he has been unable to remember his world cup victory. A true football legend but sadly, like many of the others in the team, his latter years have been blighted by alzhiemers. He was diagnosed with alziehmers in 2004, it's only probable that after 13 years of living with alzhiemers his health is in decline. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted October 29, 2017 Deathrace form Guide #9 Anne Hamilton-Byrne In the (likely) event that the nonagenarian narcissist and dementia doll fails to provide MPFC with a unique hit on the DDP before New Year's Eve expires it's surely open-season on the crazed Aussie cult-leader who forced bleach-blonde locks on her brainwashed flock and encouraged levels of devotion upon herself that might have given Hitler an argument that he wasn't so bad after all. A documentary on her "Family" cult did the rounds in 2016, raising her late-life fame to levels suitable for the kind of obit that would pass muster for Deathrace purposes. Palliative care ain't permanent care and our Annie has soaked up a fair bit of it; how much more she can stretch out after the Deathrace startline is a key question.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted October 29, 2017 Death Race Form Guide #12 Whether you like him or not, there's no denying that Robin Williams is an absolute legend who is known for a lot of things. Some people know him for hits such as "Wichita Lineman" or "It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas", while others may recognize him as a guitarist for rock legends AC/DC. Outside of music, he has also had his fair share of acting roles, with some of his legendary performances including his role as Paul Kersey in Death Wish, Scotty in Star Trek, Penguin in the Batman TV shows, and astronaut George Taylor in Planet of the Apes, as well as being the voice of Shaggy in Scooby Doo. Perhaps most notably he refused to give up his seat to another white person, and it's because of this he became the 40th President of the United States 25 years later. In short, he may have had more achievements in life then any other person, well, apart from Javier Perez de Cuellar... 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
