The Joker's Dead Pool 2018

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,201]

Ken Dodd a 'hit' for a few players in this pool including myself. 

[Heef 166]

Could be time for an update given how much 'action' this pool has seen since the last one.

[Joey Russ 7,118]

I apologize for a lack of an update. I have been busy for a lot of the past few weeks, and when I wasn’t busy I have been mentally exhausted. An update probably won’t come until at least Friday, but I think one can be done by the end of next week.

[YoungWillz 18,948]

Yeah, I had Hawking here along with a few others.

 

Looking forward to the update,  but only when you feel up to it Joey.

[Bibliogryphon 8,615]

Jim Bowen my 5th hit here.

[Torva Messor 252]

If only there were a bonus for reading the obit on the 13th of March for a Joker who died on the 14th -- New World Problems.

Ahem, so no update will be coming this week, as I think my own mental health is slowly declining and starting to get worse. I will definitely get a much needed increase in counseling to try to improve my health, but I am not sure when the next update is coming. I sincerely apologize for the lack of an update in recent weeks.

It's alright Joey, mental health first over us.

I hope your counselor doesn't tell you to stop deadpooling.  In all seriousness though, take it easy Joey.  Hope all is OK.

We are with ya JR, if you need to hand this over to someone, just ask.

 

Remember, at Deathlist, help will always be given to those who ask for it.*

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,201]

Mitzi Shores passing a 'hit' for quite a few of us in the jokers deadpool including me. 

[Joey Russ 7,118]

Hey guys. It still may be a while before the next update for this comes up, but while I can't give scores yet, there is a way you can make this slightly easier for me. If one of you could keep track of the people who have died and received an obit, that would be hugely appreciated by me so it could make the task slightly easier when the next update finally comes...

[Bibliogryphon 8,615]

Nabi Tajima my 6th hit here.

Edited June 7, 2018 by YoungWillz
Withdrawn, no further interest in this

[Joey Russ 7,118]

Thanks for keeping track of the dead jokers. I don’t think I’ll be able to get an update done before June 1st truthfully, cause I’m focused on school and getting the scores for everyone takes a lot of time. There will be an update in the future, I promise. 

In bigger news, I am going to announce my intention to retire after the end of this year since I’m now going to run the Crowdsource List starting with the 2019 edition, along with the annual Advent Avalanche of course. I think those two are enough for me, and I don’t need to run a third one especially since I’m not doing a great job at keeping score. So, if anyone does want to take over starting 2019, they can either announce their intention here or PM me, but honestly, I think it might be better for it to slowly sink into the dead pool graveyard since it’s a lot of work...

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,201]

[YoungWillz 18,948]

See, Louise Latham didn't get a QO, afaik. So she doesn't count?

[msc 17,712]

Right, so as you might have noticed, Joey's been a bit ill/busy to update the scoreboard. So, I asked for the secret bonus system and Joey kindly passed it on, so I could update the scores. Its not quite complete as I don't know the list of "secret numbers" so folk might be missing a bonus point here or there, but as it stands, the scoring preamble...

 

Satoru Anzaki , Barys Kit, Jens Skou, Louise Latham and Bill Crider died, no obit so far.

Fixed Buisness, Chorizo, Torva, Gooseberry, Dead Cow, Heef got 1 bonus point for Order. 2 points for CastAway

Catherine Nevin. Oh dear oh dear. 1 point plus Drop 40 = 4 + 1 point for being on Spade’s 2017 team = 5  MINUS 3 points for being in Jail = 2. Ok, not as bad as I thought due to Drop 40 bonus.So 2 points for Cast Away, Dead Cow, Drol, Gooseberry, Joey, and msc  and 4 points for Torva, Pedro, Heef.

Liam Miller was in the Drop 40. 4 points for Book, Cast Away, Chorizo, Dead Cow, Drol, Death Impends, Heef, msc, Rad Guy, Toast, Torva, Unknown man

Vanessa Goodwin. 1 point for Book, Chorizo, Dead Cow, Drol, Heef, msc, RadGuy and Torva. 5 extra point for Drol and msc for getting the Double on Goodwin and Bannister in the same day.

Dean Francis made the Drop 40, so 4 points t Book, Choroizo, Dead Cow, Death Impends, Drol, Fixed Business, Msc, RadGuy, Toast and Torva.

Doug Ford was a unique joker on the DDP. So 4 points too Chorizo, Death Impends, Gooseberry, Joey Russ, msc and Torva.

Hmm, looked at the rules and there's nothing about QOs. I thought previously it had been specified they had to get a DDP QO.

 

If that is not the case, my list of Jokers is worthless and I'll be deleting it.

If Barys Kit doesn’t get an obit, that’ll be 8 people who will have a lost obitter, despite how interesting he is...

 

Presumed that meant DDP  QO obit, YWillz? The fab 4 mentioned above (all more notable than you average cancer mum) have failed to get a DDP QO so no points? Otherwise I'm lost at your complaint.

Dunno, I'm baffled.

 

At the point of perusal, nothing specified in the rules for this year's comp about QOs. I just assumed they had to get points on the DDP to qualify here. But there's nothing. So.....and therefore that means that Louise Latham has to be added to your list of lost?

Yes, but folk who don't get a DDP QO don't get points on the DDP, do they? Whereas the 16 who did, did. If Joey wants to say they do, I'll count them, but he was given non-DDP obits for Barys Kit and ignored them, so one is left to assume...

 

Louise Latham joins list of lost yes.
