Inverse Survivor Dead Pool I

[paddyfool 379]

Minor mistake to point out: you've written "Barder" down under unknown man. I think you mean Barker?

[paddyfool 379]

Nice breakdown above, paddyfool.  I had already looked at that for myself, but hadn't thought about doing it for all lists.  Thanks for the work.  It is interesting to see that only Bibliogryphon's list is impervious to a single death month.  Lots of us can go home with as many as 4 or 5 different one-and-done scenarios!

Some further stats:

Yes, 50 of the 56 eligible names in round 1 were drafted.  Only Don Lusk, Beverly Cleary, Leslie Philips, Herman Wouk, Norman Lloyd and Lucia Hiriart went untaken.  Most common name was QE2 on 13 out of 17 lists.  Second was Kenny Rogers at 9.  Many names (13) were only taken once.  Remember, I will likely add some names prior to round 2 so that the pool doesn't get too small.  My goal will be to make the new names unattractive.  Will you have the cajones to select them?

To stop the error perpetuating through this whole Pool the correct spelling is Jill Gascoine.

I don't know what you mean by make some noise.  Do you want a PM when someone scores?  I will update the table fairly regularly as needed.

Didn't really mean anything  I'm sure I'll notice anyway. Because it's a monthly thread I'm trying to at least stay reminded that it exists!

John Key is at risk of elimination here now that Denis Norden has died...

Listen here low-life bullies, I have just blocked each and every one of you and unfollowed this thread! The moderators will be hearing of this. 

 

- A very upset John Key

[Wormfarmer 427]

Remember to get your lists in for Round 2 (even you, John Key, in case there is a last minute change in the standings) anytime before the end of the month.  You can post here or PM me if you prefer not to share until the round has begun.  Late lists will incur a penalty if ANYONE on the master list dies in Oct prior to their list being submitted.  See details in the intro to this thread.  Remember, no names can be reused from your round 1 list, but 5 new names have been added for your selecting pleasure in round 2.  John Key's time may be running out . . . . . . 

 

By the way, I thought it very amusing that British musician Chas Hodges, keyboardist of "Chas and Dave" died yesterday of . . .  wait for it . . . . organ failure.  How appropriate.

Dang, that's like walking around all day with your fly open.  I'm mortified. Or just really hoping Rhoda survives.
