Inverse Survivor Dead Pool I

[Grim Up North 3,725]

This seems to be a good time to sort out another ruling.

 

At what point does a month end? For example GHWB died on 30th November US time? Do people get November c/f points for him or not?

 

If they don't then is he a December hit or has he died in some twilight zone that does not exist in either month?

 

And if no one picked him for December but he classed as a December hit then do the people who haven't submitted teams move on to a score of 3 (0+3)?

 

Incidentally it is a good time because no one had him in November.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Seems it would have to be local time.  So a November hit.  Otherwise yes the +3 would apply.  But I don't believe it would in this case.  Pretty damn close though.

Yes, this has been an important issue in all of my pools because so many of my teams hail from the Europe side of the globe, and I am in North America.  What I have decided to do is use wikipedia's death notices as the source for the exact date. In this case, GHWBush passed on Nov 30, and no teams had him on a list, so there was no scoring involved.  But he was credited as a Nov hit.  If he had been listed as a Dec 1 death, then the teams that had not yet submitted would have taken the late list (score +3) penalty.  So in this game, it is best to get your list in for the next round at the END of the month prior, so you have no risk of penalty.  I will (try to) post updates several days before the new round starts so you have the new names (if any) to choose from.  These list updates will appear on the thread's first post.  Thanks for bringing this up!

1st hit (Overton), 3 pts for Skinny

[Wormfarmer 427]

Please check your own list posted above for accuracy and let me know if it is incorrect.  My list was previously PM'd to Quim since he was the first to get his list in for Dec.

 

Madhatter and the Unknown Man were eliminated in Rd 2.  Carryover (tiebreaker) points were earned by Joey Russ (7), Capn Chorizo (6) and Skinny K (1).  These will only count against you if you ever end up in a tie for elimination at the end of a round. 

 

Some Rd 3 stats:

Most picked: QE2 - 8 times,  mugabe - 7 times,  cardin/dole/nolan - 6 times

there were 8 solo picks (meaning instant death if you picked them and they are the only death in Dec): barker, escheverria, frates, harper, lear, overton, reiner, stiles

13 names were unpicked for Dec!!  

Good luck all!

Team was PM'd at 10am UK time 30th when Bush Sr was alive. If sub allowed, I'll swap in McCririck now into that spot?

[Joey Russ 7,220]

So, do the points that were accumulated last time count against your chances or are they only in the event of a tie. Because if it’s the former, then I’m likely out, if it’s the latter, then I think Skinny Kiltrunner is likely out after Overton’s death...

See Wormfarmer's 10th December post - couldn't be clearer.

Huh, that's very interesting.  It must show the 10th as a local time.  On my board there is no post at all on the 10th, rather a pair of posts on the 9th.  

OK Someone else has to give the pot the next stir

I believe this is the post being referred to, Sir Creep.

[Wormfarmer 427]

Skinny has scored a (relatively) big 3 points with RA Overton's demise.  Those are, so far, the only points scored for the month.  Skinny has his head firmly in the guillotine with only a few days to go.  Joey's carryover points are a non factor as every month is a stand alone contest.  Pts earned in prior months are only used as tiebreakers at the end of a given round.  They do accummulate, but do not hurt you unless you end up tied at the end of a round, and have more than the person you are tied with.  

 

I will not add any new names for Jan, we will go with the 59 names we have.   Teams can be submitted at any time.  Skinny needs a prayer!

 

Also, a point of interest - - my thread also has my post as having been made on Dec 9th.  The site must put a time stamp on each post based on the local time of the reader.  That could confuse things, if we are ever splitting hairs as to the exact sequence of things.

I'm praying for him. Mostly because of his Macca shrug.

Also because I'm not even remotely religious, and if it turns out there is an omnipotent deity my faux prostrations could backfire badly.

You can't join until all but one of the competitors have been eliminated and a new round starts. Most likely early 2020.

did someone lose, that's why we are submitting lists?  Who got the boot, me? lol
Edit - ok I see now, Richard Overton of all peeps.  Well shame on Skinny for bringing bad mojo to our DP hero.  Shame and a pox on you, and yes, the family.
