Joey Russ 7,220 Posted May 16, 2018 Ethnic Cleansing goes to joint second along with Bucket of Blood with Ray Wilson (both only one point behind me currently). I think it’ll turn to a much tighter competition come the midpoint... EDIT: If Vanessa Lafaye gets a late obit, they would be in the lead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,967 Posted May 16, 2018 If anyone cares, if my calculated scoreboard assumes that Marieke Vervoort will survive the year with 100% probability, then Ethnic Cleansing moves into the lead. Pan Breed at 2nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,964 Posted May 25, 2018 He was namechecked by the FT earlier this month too. If the combo of that, his cancer charity, and his navy resume don't eke out an obit somewhere, then I don't think I'll be making many broadsheet gambles in future DDPs! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted May 25, 2018 Interestingly, only three of my non drop 40 picks are still alive, Matt Cappotelli (who’s probably a goner any day now) and the last two major gambles on my team, which are John Cocks and Stuart Fraser... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,967 Posted May 25, 2018 The competition is SO close this year. I lost two places today, in spite of my hit with Dean Francis, because Garn had both Bain and Francis (the only one? Edit: no, GUN, too)) and MPFC had Dean Francis as joker. But if Matt Capottelli were to die tomorrow (and honestly, why not..), I would gain 8 places again - into the top 10. I think it's possible that the eventual winner is going to have 17 hits (tied for the record). My scoreboard would have a new leader right now - Deadsox, because I considered John Bain's death less likely than Dean Francis' death. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The competition is definitely beast mode this year,I reckon with my own team even if I hit around 120 points with McCain,Jose,Bracknell and Capottelli not seeing out the year that alone wouldn't gurantee top 20.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted May 25, 2018 Just realized that if Vervoort dies by euthanasia and she's the next hit on my team (although I don't think that's likely to happen), then I would've beaten my point record from last year by one point. I agree with gcreptile, I think generally the overall quality of all the teams have improved from last year, and I think it's going to be quite hard to call a winner at this stage of the game. Reckon we won't know the most likely winner till around November/December, when the year comes to a close... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely enough, the only person who's still alive from the people you named is Sumner Redstone. Might be a good time to start giving gcreptile his points...

Aye, tight and exciting - Francis (my joker) catapulted me to = 7th but I'm not the only one looking at a decent total for late May and spotting some smirking survivors (Newton John and Nolan) who's relative good health already taunts me as Total Biscuit (in the running for team selection until late December) topples. Even "20 Hits'" team won't do the clean sweep, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
