Death Impends 7,361 Posted February 22, 2018 Just have to look for EU leaders now, I have shortlists for all the other categories. Did disappointingly just find one name on my shortlist, a very obscure producer named Rick DePofi who won a niche competitive Grammy and had glioblastoma, died earlier in the month. Would have been a perfect sneaky pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 23, 2018 Reminder (I know....condescending reminder, but WTH)..... February is a short month. One settles in 'oh I got X days to send it in' and suddenly it's March. We've all been there. OK I have. Word to the wise. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,618 Posted February 23, 2018 5 Days folks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 3,398 Posted February 23, 2018 I'm still planning to enter, done the research I'm going to do, now just need to narrow down my 5 picks. I've also been hampered by my unexpected and increasingly likely need to choose a second round team for msc's Deathlist Cup. Both will be submitted over the weekend so there is time to verify before the deadline. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,361 Posted February 26, 2018 Finally got around to picking the names and sent something in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,618 Posted February 27, 2018 All thirteen entries are now validated. Any last minute entries?@Davey Jones' Locker? This has thrown up some interesting research and which categories will be key in the game. Will post full lists after Thursday. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those categories are a bit random! What's the logic behind it all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,011 Posted February 27, 2018 I may be the only person who had the same sub in two categories. Needless to say she (yes she) didn't make my starting roster in either category. So there is at least ONE person who could potentially be listed in two categories, probably a couple others I missed. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Don't know if your mystery lady fits this particular bill but I came across a couple of Dallas actors who'd starred in Kevin Bacon films. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the logic behind it all? Logic do not speak of such. This is a Scavenger Hunt collect lots of different things. There are many ways to win and there are a lot of names that have been revealed to me. The first round got down to a very tense finish with almost 20 celebs being the final straw. It did take nearly 18 months though. The winner gets to chose the categories for the next round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,018 Posted February 28, 2018 Just wait for some to submit "members of New Kids on the Block" as a category next time round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have to do anything after submitting your team. And it could all be over in a matter of days, it would only need five (or even three!) deaths. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If this thing is over in 6 months or less I'll abandon this website for as many days as the game took place.
