Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 7, 2018 I'm surprised that a game around the 1940s hasn't come into fruition, especially since there's a game around the 50's! I figured since baby boomers are starting to decline, this pool should be started. The rules are simple, pick 40 people from the 1940's on your team. If they die and receive a DDP eligible obit, then you get a hit. If they don't obit within three months, you replace them with another person. The first person with all 40 people dead and have a QO wins. After the first 15 names, coming up with the rest was actually quite difficult for me, so here goes nothing: Kathleen Blanco Pat Bowlen Eric Clapton David Crosby Tim Curry Gerard Depardieu Oliver Dragojevic Donald Fagen Aretha Franklin Superstar Billy Graham Jimmy Greaves Luke Halpin Stephen Hawking Cynthia Heimel NQO Bill Heine Mazie Hirono Tony Iommi Mick Jagger Terry Jones Jose Jose Tessa Jowell Peter Lorimer Stan Mikita Joni Mitchell Olivia Newton-John Jalal Mansur Nuriddin Ozzy Osbourne Al Pacino Jimmy Page Anna Pavord Martin Peters Iggy Pop Keith Richards Freddie Starr Nobby Stiles Bernard Tapie Christopher Walken Mike Willesee Ronnie Wood Celeste Yarnall Bobby Zarin 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,112 Posted January 7, 2018 Oh no, not another "starts now and here's my team" DP. Sooo much better to give notice of a starting date, with teams only revealed once the game is underway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sooo much better to give notice of a starting date, with teams only revealed once the game is underway. I wanted it to be one of those can join any time pools for those who missed out on the major dead pools, hence why I revealed my team now. You can join anytime if you want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
