Inverse Dead Pool 2018

[paddyfool 379]

Well done to the four people on nil points who have so far guessed correctly who would not survive four times out of four. Excellent fourcasting skills!

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Didn't have Tessa for this one. Phew. Still on nul points.

[Death Impends 7,975]

Can you guessa who picked Dame Tessa? Bibliogryphon, Sir Creep, time, and Torva Messor, whose victory chances are all lessa.

[paddyfool 379]

Holy smokes batman! Our fearsomely foresightful foursome are still free of points five fatalities in. Phenominal!

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Dodged another one with Dean Francis...phew, phew....

[Death Impends 7,975]

Dean Francis's demise deals a blow to six teams, among them CastAway, whose loss reduces us to just three hit-free teams. Though most of Francis's selectors had him in a lightweight position, this likely leaves Bentrovato and paddyfool down for the count.

[paddyfool 379]

Congratulations all 35 other punters! You're now officially better than random (as it should be).

[John Key 747]

I didn't enter that many deadpools, but I'll find myself refreshing this one because my name is currently at the top  The scores between me and the next 20 names isn't that much though - in my top 5 I've got four nonagenarians (Betty White, Bob Barker, Dick van Dyke, Doris Day) who all it takes is a tad of pneumonia to knock them over. I've also got Donald Trump at #4, as long as fox media doesn't turn against him I don't think he'll have a heart attack! 

 

We'll see, thanks for hosting so far @Death Impends, this year is a close one!

[paddyfool 379]

Close, indeed, partly because it's been a slow first six months this year.  Any of the top 20 or so teams could still take the lead if they miss just one big landmine.  Still a proper achievement to have kept a clean slate, though!

[Bentrovato 1,088]

Only just caught up with this again. Forgot I had Dean Francis and am perplexed why I had him so high when he had terminal cancer. Beginners error/outright laziness on my part for not double checking list. Always next year I suppose. 

[gcreptile 10,972]

Really glad Lord Carrington didn't make it, as I would totally have picked him.

[Joey Russ 7,227]

Been kind of slow for top 50 hits, huh? 

[Joey Russ 7,227]

Dodged another one with Charlotte Rae...

[Death Impends 7,975]

Sir Creep and theoldlady bet that Mrs. Garrett's upbeat disposition could overcome the Fact of Life that old age and bone cancer don't mix. They were wrong, and Charlotte certainly won't be a Rae of sunshine for their prospects, with Sir Creep now dead last and theoldlady's first fatality reducing the no-hit club to two.

How is this possible?

 

I surely can't last much longer at the top, I'm getting faint with the thin air...

Can I just point out how well you've done as a collective so far, despite my muddying the water? 7 deaths and just over 7 months in, and 24 out of 25 of the list above are still alive and kicking.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

LOL we are very comfortable once again assuming last place in this DP.  It's our happy place.

STATS AND FACTS

On the other hand, the ten most fecked according to the views of our collective:

 

1.    John McCain    6
2.    Leah Bracknell    13
3.    Nobby Stiles    21
=4.    Charlotte Rae    23
=4.    Stefan Karl Stefansson    23
6.    Marieke Vervoort    24
7.    Tessa Jowell    28
8.    Fernando Ricksen    30
9.    Greg Gilbert    39
10.    Rev Billy Graham    43

 

On the other hand only 2 of our 10 most fecked have died in over 7 months (and it was only one before the weekend).

Ahhh I was blinded by the light of the Lord! 

[paddyfool 379]

Looking at McCain and Bracknell alone, the odds have to be pretty good that that score will be at least 5/10 by the end of the year. 

 

EDIT: Sir Creep, I wouldn't advise getting too comfortable in last place. I fully expect my team to reclaim it before too long.

[Torva Messor 279]

Après Aretha, le déluge.

I feel responsible 

[deadsox 894]

So both John Key and Young Willie have Aretha.  Shakeup coming?

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Yeah. I picked Aretha quite high on the basis I had her in my DDP team.

 

Unfortunately, the main DDP team is doing rather well this year, so it's a win win situation. Or win lose. Or something.
