FixedBusiness 407 Posted November 15, 2017 I'm entering this too, just wait a couple days so I can add my "long"list and do some research. Good luck to all! Actually would it be better if I put every name in a Google doc so it doesn't stretch the forum? Then I will link it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted November 15, 2017 My list: - USA's Congress voting members: 435 Representatives +100 Senators = 535 - UK's Members of Parliament (MPs) = 650 - Australia's Members of the House of Representatives = 150 - New Zealands's Members of Parliament (MPs) = 120 - Dáil Éireann Assembly of Ireland members = 158 - Every Head of State from every sovereign country in the world, plus their Vice President OR Advisor = 195*2 = 390 - The Dalai Lama = 1 - All living members of the Kardashian family as depicted in Keeping Up With the Kardashians = 14 535+650+150+120+158+390+1+14 = 2018 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted November 16, 2017 Funnily enough, although that list is just the first 200 people listed alphabetically on Wikipedia, The 45 King is a guy who has been longlisted for me a number of times in the past: had massive drug issues during the early 1990s and suffered a heart attack a few years ago as well. Producing top 10 singles for Eminem and Jay-Z, as well as being the guy behind the "900 Number" beat, should see him a guarantee obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has been pointed out above many of the parts of your list are vague in current form; which is why the dead pool requires a full list. I get the feeling you are not intending a serious entry to the competition. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastAway 488 Posted December 7, 2017 I'll attempt creating a list for this, I think. Can't promise I'll actually end up getting one in, but trying to create a list should be entertaining in and of itself. If said list creation does happen, I might steal FixedBusiness' idea of a Google doc with the list that's then linked here - would probably be easier to keep track of anyhow.

Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted December 7, 2017 I started. Got to about 750 and about 10 of those names have died since. I think the rules need to be elaborated otherwise we’re going to have a lot of problems with this. IE a team must have at least 10 subs, a clear criteria of notability must exist and in cases where names are common (eg the old Liz Smith problem), people have to list year of birth and/or profession. I also don’t think I’ll have the time to order the list from least likely to die at 1. to most likely at 2018. That’s a big ask. A better points scoring system would be 1st hit = one point, 2nd hit = 2 points etc or one similar to DDP where points are determined by age of the deceased. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
