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. I wonder if Vera Miles is now in contention as she was my sub who replaced Carmen Franco who was my first choice worth fifty points.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted December 31, 2017 Right, wake up from a few hours sleep, and there's 5 new teams to add! Must be Hogmanay! So I'll send off my own DDP teams and sort those out ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been wanting to participate in the last two years, but couldn't come up with 50 names. But I'm ready to send my list right now. Hopefully, I've made it easier for you by writing their respective points in brackets, and bolded the ones carried over from 2017. Edit: Sent. Although why on earth did I write "DDP" instead of "Deathlist" in the subject header? Lol... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,480 Posted December 31, 2017 I have added all the lists that were sitting in my inbox this morning AND the two which arrived this afternoon. We're now at 38 lists sent in for the 2018 Crowdsourced Deathlist. Blimey! 1. 216 2. 208 3. 201 4. 50th 198 --- 5. 196 6. 195 7. 194 8. 189 9. 188 10. 186 11. 178 12. 175 13. 171 The battle ground as it looks. I think 46th and higher is likely safe this late in the day, and below...60th is unlikely to move. However, there has been two late late comebacks. One won't surprise you all this past week. We have 3 celebs who have crashed through the 1000 point barrier! And 10 people have beaten the previous all time points record. I think that's quite cool, myself.

msc 18,480 Posted December 31, 2017 Also if you want a laugh at old me, I was getting so bogged down in the number crunching I found myself with 2 Robert Mugabes, so had to double count his points AND check I hadn't accidentally deleted anyone. No to both, I'd just not deleted an earlier Mugabe when more points came in. Told my wife about this problem. She smirked and said: "You must be out of it if you're miscounting the number of Mugabes in the world, dear." 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
