alt obits guy 3,371 Posted November 3, 2018 It's been quiet times for me in the AO Deadpool, but that may be about to change. I had South Korean actor Shin Seong-Il (aka Shin Sung-Il). He's received an obit in the Chosun Ilbo, a major Korean daily newspaper, which I've submitted for consideration. Nothing official yet. I posted an English translation of the obit in 'Foreign Personalities...' thread. Edit: Confirmed and a solo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted November 22, 2018 Although I am not a participant this year, I noticed Devin Lima only scored 13 points on the hits page. Shouldn't it be 18? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It appears to be a typo. The players who had him did receive 18 points but, you're right, it's written on the page as 13 points. Hadn't noticed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YorkshireBanker 168 Posted November 22, 2018 when can we send 2019 teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted November 22, 2018 20 minutes ago, YorkshireBanker said: when can we send 2019 teams Although I suppose you can send a team at anytime, most people tend to do so about a week before the end of the calendar year. The pool is a January 1st to December 31st one. Also be prepared for your team to be vetted and for certain picks to be rejected due to a lack of fame, meaning you may be asked to resubmit the list with substitute picks. The deadline for entry is 7pm EST on December 31st, which would be midnight GMT. The pool's URL is: http://www.aodeadpool.org/ Rules about eligibility and on the requested format for submitting your list i.e. last name first, first name last, surnames in CAPS can be found here: http://www.aodeadpool.org/rules.html Any questions you have can be directed to aodeadpool@gmail.com The pool is currently run by Evan Hulka Hope that helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 5, 2018 Today appears to be one of those buzzworthy deadpool days and it's still only the early AM, Eastern Time. Sorry folks, but I had Tom Billington aka the Dynamite Kid in the AO Deadpool. His date of death is currently listed as December 5th. If it remains as such, he died on his 60th birthday. I miss out on 3 points because he aged into his 60s but it would be a 15 point birthday hit bonus. If it's revised to an earlier date, reverse the point circumstances. If it's any consolation, I dropped Thor Hansen from my 2018 list. He is also listed as having died today, Dec. 5. The points could fly today if anyone had both.

Would appear to be that way, but the great unknown (Gerard Tierney) may still have something to say if he had both Tom Billington & Thor Hansen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 5, 2018 Pool has been updated. Dynamite Kid was a trio. Gerard Tierney did have him, as did one other player, aside from me. Thor Hansen was a strikeout, last picked in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted December 10, 2018 I noticed the rules do not mention an age limit for picks. Does that mean it's ok picking a Rapper, who put Dr. Phil and his studio audience ho's on the map? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct with your observation, there are no age limitations for picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted December 10, 2018 Some bastards (Gerard Tierney and two others) did pick a 16 year old computer scientist a few years back, so no age requirement there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
