Aww, Morlock (whoever that is) stopped the Deathlist trio - you, me, deadsox - picking up the trio bonus point! Hah. Still, ahead of Mr Tierney - likely to be the only time in history! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted January 22, 2018 Congratulations to those who had Patrick Cryne. I can't be too upset as his was a name that hadn't crossed my path. Guess I never searched for the right combination of keywords. I find it harder when a pick is shortlisted, fails to make the final cut, then ends up dying. The lead is indeed yours, Joey Russ. Well earned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 23, 2018 Well, I think I’ll expand my lead now with Masekela’s demise, but the question of whether it’s eight, nine, or eleven is a different question (won’t be a solo since I know gcreptile picked him here). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 23, 2018 Another trio. Gerard Tierney is the other person who shared the hit with me and gcreptile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 23, 2018 I'm actually nervous on how well my team might actually do on my first year. Three already gone (and one of them I wasn't expecting to die so quickly, and he was also a replacement pick), and I could definitely see more hits, but I'm not sure if it will be enough to win this year. I'm quite confident that I'll have a top ten spot this year though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,472 Posted January 23, 2018 Think you've got a floor of around 160 points, which would safely see you into the top 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 24, 2018 I’m on a roll with my 4th hit already. Don’t expect any bonuses with him, but I’m starting to think top 5 is plausible... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 24, 2018 Wow. I got the email that Mark E Smith that he’s a solo. I’m quite surprised by that... Also got asked if I was Cancerous Hatred afterwards as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,472 Posted January 30, 2018 Alcock a hit for me and drol, at the very least. One of those "just add someone because 50 names is a lot" people here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted February 9, 2018 As some names who I don't have, but others do, appear to be closing in on death, I may be able to put on more hit on my resume, so to speak. I had Foghat bassist Craig MacGregor in the AO Deadpool. No obituary yet that I'm willing to submit for confirmation, but I expect something from one of the better known music magazines will be published. If good, it's my second hit of 2018. Meanwhile, I also get to claim one of the 'strikeouts' as my own. I'm the one who had Dave Barrett, former Premier of British Columbia, in 2016. A suspected solo had he gone then and certainly one had I re-added him this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted February 9, 2018 Ah, I suspected that you and Gerard had him when I saw him dead. I kind of forgot about him in all pools, but I think had I given him more thought to him, he likely would’ve gone in over someone like Rose West... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think you both will be getting a daily double today as well, as Twitter is saying that Liam Miller is dead (can’t see either of you not picking him)...

I do, indeed, have Liam Miller. If he has died, he was days away from his birthday. Meanwhile, I found an obit from ABC news radio (the U.S. station, not the Australian one) for Craig MacGregor that should suffice. Will submit it momentarily.

msc 18,472 Posted February 10, 2018 A fine unique pick, indeed. I imagine getting an unique hit on someone known to be ill but fallen from the radar of other teams is always fun but then, I've never had a unique hit in the DDP or Alt Obits. Sort of the anti-DDT! 1. Joey Russ 65 2. Allen Kirshner 55 3. Morlock 45 4. Pan Breed 45 5. Gerard Tierney 38 6. Deceased Hose 31 Toast 8th Gcreptile 12th Joey has started very well. For now, I'll take being ahead of the mighty Mr Tierney while it lasts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted February 10, 2018 Especially did well since Masekela was a replacement pick for me. I just wanted to pick him somewhere, and he was one of the first 6 that came to mind... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
