deadsox 894 Posted December 22, 2017 Just pm'd my list msc. 50 names, no cancer mums or FFBI's. Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukah, Happy New Year and Happy Burns Nicht to all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted December 22, 2017 Yep, and we're still waiting lists from regulars like @Sean, @gcreptile, @Death Impends (his list doesn't tend to come in till Hogmanay, but we're not forgetting him!), @Book, @Switch, etc etc. The "12-50, not just 50" rule has encouraged a bunch of forum regulars to take part for the first time, too, which is nice.

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted December 22, 2017 Wait, does the 12-50 rule only count points for the amount of picks that are on the list, ie 1 - 12 points for 12 people as an example? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The list must have a minimum of 12 names on it, and a maximum of 50. 2. Your 1st choice will gain 50 points, 2nd 49, etc etc to 50th which will gain 1 point. If it were different, there'd be clarification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,333 Posted December 23, 2017 I will be entering in a few days.Working Xmas so will be about the 28th 29th.I am compiling the list on the back of work newspapers but only using final two birth years so no one catches on.Remembering who each year is especially when there are several from a certain year can be a bugger though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the breakable records at this point are going - points needed to qualify, most points by an individual, and so on. And even then, there's 31 names who can jump into the top 50 with a single vote, and a few still to vote as they've mentioned above. All to play for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,479 Posted December 25, 2017 I can see it in my inbox, @Death Impends! Shall add it to the masterlist in a bit, just in from Christmas dinner at mums and slowly gaining my whereabouts to check how many shortlisters died today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTrost1234 21 Posted December 26, 2017 Not Joni Mitchell, and what do people in England know about her anyway? She sings a lot better than the singers of today. If a rapper passed, I wouldn't care. I loved her song, "Help Me I Think I'm Falling In Love Again" That just gave my age away. I pray to G-d that we don't get a bunch of deaths on last days of December, like we did last year.

msc 18,479 Posted December 26, 2017 This Christmas, I got asked what I wanted, and I said socks. Because I'd run out of them, you see. They just disappear in the wash, somehow. Anyhow, everyone got the same idea and I now have lots and lots of socks for presents this Christmas. Everywhere I turn, there is socks heading in my general direction. So many I had to put some away for later: one or two socks is OK but after 5 or 6 you start to make editorial house decisions for what to do with them. Anyhow, there's a completely off topic story about socks and me for you all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Joni had a stroke 2 years ago it made the news here in Britain.She is a big name but is not that well known amongst youngsters except for both sides now being prominent in love actually.

msc 18,479 Posted December 29, 2017 Rose Marie was in 452nd place or something daft. No worries there. Carmen Franco was in 43rd place. In come lots of sub points which don't change much. Without spoiling things, as it stands after 30 lists 50. 155 points --- 51. 155 points 52. 154 points 53. 152 points 54 149 points 55 148 points 56 142 points 57 138 points 58. 138 points 59. 137 points 60 136 points I won't carry on, you get the point: ludicrously close even now. And we're talking big deadpooling names too. At this point, the only list still expected is Sean. Spade and DDT might get lists in but I'm not going to push them. Others like, oh, TMIB, charon, LB, Dead Cow, Sir Creep to name but a few are more than welcome to put in a list of 12 names (or more) at this stage if they want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,333 Posted December 30, 2017 Will submit mine later. sadly am 12 hour shifts until new year so will have to upload my shadow list as my entry.I will try to make it as close to the 25 over from this year's Crowdsourced Dl but there I am sure will still be a handful of dropped names.Apologies.

msc 18,479 Posted December 30, 2017 No worries Sean, looking forward to it. 12 hour shifts sound hellish, tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
