alt obits guy 3,371 Posted March 8, 2021 Lars-Goran Petrov is a hit for me. I've sent in the NME (New Music Express) obit, which should be sufficient. At least two other people had him, maybe more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted March 30, 2021 Bobby Schmautz is probably my sneakiest pick in any deadpool to this point. Was watching playoff hockey and they mentioned that he had pancan during an intermission/stoppage, didn't seem to be any mention of it anywhere else. Now up to 13 hits a quarter of the way into the year. aaaaaaaand it's a birthday hit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted May 23, 2021 What is this death pool's USP? Why are you guys competing in it? Isn't the millions of pools yall already enter every year to satisfy your disturbing affinity for successful public figures' misery enough? Why is Alt in the name? Does the Alt Right run it or what? Isn't it dictatorial that the host can disallow picks just like that? Why is the website so amateurish, like it was created on a 10 pence budget? Does the rewarding of picking children at 25 points mean that everyone who participates in the pool is objectively morally corrupt, regardless of whether they pick a child or not?

And has some cool bonuses. Because it's there. Clearly not. Because it was started on the Alternative Obits Google group an ice age ago. Yes, clearly, DDT and Joey are well known right wingers. Entirely so, but then, so can most of the deadpool hosts on here. I've blocked picks just like that. Because it was, possibly. Dunno. Does playing a decade in the DDP when it allowed 18 year old sob stories with cancer make anyone who played it morally corrupt, regardless of whether they picked one or not?

It's a mystery... Surely you know the right information... Help me. Well, you know, Jim Marrs wrote a book on this, the Kennedy conspiracy, and he claimed that those behind it had killed dozens of people to keep the secret, from Hollywood to mafia dons and Popes. And you think, this conspiracy can kill off gangsters, Popes and Presidents, but somehow one crank writer is allowed to stay alive for 40+ years and expose it! (The question is never Who killed Kennedy - Oswald did. It's "why did he do it" and we'll never know for sure because that mob connected guy mysteriously killed Oswald within 24 hours...) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mischief Girl 44 Posted September 5, 2021 Great hit, congrats. As an American, I'd never heard of her until this year and was hoping she could hang on to join my 2022 list. Having said that, breast cancer sucks, and I'm glad she's out of her pain now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted October 3, 2021 Business appears to be picking up for me. Among the octet who had Greg Gilbert. I also had Bernard Tapie, who won't generate bonus points. Still, it will be interesting to see who had him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted November 8, 2021 Although it's becoming more and more of a long shot to win in 2021, I'm not yet done. I had Franck Olivier, the Belgian singer who now becomes part of the 'Curse of the Eurovision' (which is also where an obit link can be found). He was a solo, worth 13 points (8+5).
