Lets hope the tradition of someone not reading the rules and turning their list in after the deadline doesn't continue this year...

Makes no odds Joey

 

Rules is rules and ridicule duly follows

 

Though in terms of discussing etiquette I would point out that I LOVE teams already ordered alphabetically and the odd team has acquired a joker by default having nominated nobody and then ignored my reasonable requests to identify one (in that instance the person in first place gets the nod regardless of how likely to die s/he is)

That's what TMIB did the year I forgot to name a joker!

Carmen Franco

 

Unrepententend apologist for her civil war winning father and decorated with enough Spanish civil honours to give the obtituarists a challenge in getting the upper case letters in the order (even if they can't explain WTF each gong was awarded for). This class of 26 graduate is now in serious health trouble and stumbling our way with enough media interest to allow some of the usual half-accurate/half-hopeful prognosticating from armchair experts on death prediction. Long-list bait for sure.

^ Terminal cancer of undisclosed sort and not getting it treated. Shoe in for Hares Pool points, maybe Deathrace/Deathlist Cup too.

Indeed - it's only her current obscurity in the UK and US that'd keep her out of Drop 40 contention in the DDP (IMHO at least), but I'm working on it.

Deathlist Form Guide #41

Martin Peters

 

Former footballer who made a significant contribution to the early games of Gorleston's run to the Norfolk Senior Cup in their memorable 1983-84 season. We asked about other games he might have played in but Martin seemed a bit hazy on the details and at one point claimed to be actor Peter Falk and swore blind he'd recorded a song called Could it be Forever. We're all agreed it won't be forever, or even that much longer. But as always with the Deathrace the real question is when.

Deathrace Form Guide #42

 

norman-dewis-in-a-jaguar-xk120-136395344

 

Norman Dewis

 

97 year racing driver and test-driving legend who put in the miles that made Jaguar cars a classic. Dewis was close enough to the worst motor racing accident of all time - Le Mans 1955 - to count his future hold on life as something of a bonus; particularly since his racing days co-incided with a carnival of carnage. His steady progress to a century of years has of late been marked by the establishing of his own website and appearances at classic car events - especially when they concern the Jaguar brand. He's old school enough - likely - to be horrified at the nature of our interest and - therefore - may well spite us with a no show in the 2018 results. But, he is 97.

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

FixedBusiness - fb

After our previous MC - David Cassidy - withdrew at the last minute it wasn't lung (heh heh) before L'Elvis Francais stepped in to greet the guests at our annual shebang!

 

Reigning champion: Death Impends

 

OFxVeD3.thumb.jpg.998b76257867d5f537ea65

 

 

 

And those former champions in full:

2009 - Raskolnikov

2010 - Nobody, I mean f***in' nobody, reached the winning points total

2011 - DDT

2012 - Spade Cooley

2013 - DDT

2014 - Death Impends

2015 - MSC

2016 - DDT

2017 - Death Impends

 

 

 

 

 

Just noticed the new MC. Hopefully he will oblige to stay for the next 35 days unlike David Cassidy...

Master of Ceremonies, typically the guy who talks between acts at an event in real life. For some reason mpfc uses it to denote one of the most likely to die picks in the game.

I like the story about George Harrison on holiday in France. In a hotel, when he hears the familiar shrieks of teenage fans, and got worried. Then into the hotel walked Johnny Hallyday, and the shy Beatle breathed a sigh of relief.

 

EDIT - Actually, trying to think where I first heard that, and come to think of, it might well have MPFC on here?

I do know what an MC is...although the preferred option for me would be "emcee".

 

Ah, so that's Hallyday...*shrug* not really a pick for me, Aznavour's more my style...
