gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 1, 2019 The masterlist is now 99,9% finished. I hope there are no mistakes on it, but you can check it and notify me. As I said before, I will be away from home from the 3rd-6th. I assume there will be hits by then. But the scoreboard will have to wait. Also, if the giant list creates problems for the forum, let me know. Then I change the format to Phantom of the Midway's horizontal listing of last year. Edit: Also thank you to those who added birthyears to the names, that will prove useful! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 25, 2019 New scoreboard. Three dead chefs/maitres de cuisine plus Carol Channing, Muriel Pavlow, Diana Athill, and Shivakumara Swamiji. Chris Wilson is looking like another non-obit. Quite a few people have now cashed in their joker.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted February 9, 2019 After two weeks, we just have three more hits, Andrew McGahan, Albert Finney and John Dingell. But also two possible non-obits with John Cocks and Paul Dewar.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted February 23, 2019 A quick and dirty update before I collapse from coughing and sneezing.. Quite the interesting bunch of hits, Stanley Donen, Peter Tork, Gordon Banks, Bruno Ganz, Michael Murphy, Paul Flynn and Jordan Dawes with the perfect score of 100. Bernice McCabe, so far, is a non-obit. Three players are waiting. Will the broadsheets pick up her name? Tanya Gendle... I will let subs come into place. Joey gets Beth Chapman, and Clorox... well, letting her get subbed is me being slightly generous, but his sub, Pauline Maroney, is not famous enough as a fringe pick. His second sub would be Steffan Lewis, which is a problem. Can I award these points kind of retroactively? I decided against it, because he never really was in the game to score. So the third sub Leah Bracknell is going to come into play. Hopefully an acceptable compromise, as there are clouds appearing on her horizon. And Michael Murphy, I know his age at time of death (66) but not the year of death. He could have been born in either 1952 or 1953. I will now award the 52 points. If you come across any proof that he was born in 1953 (and celebrated a final birthday in 2019), show it to me. This is the new scoreboard: 1 Phantom of the Midway 624 2 Clorox Bleachman 506 3 Devon Death Trip 481 4 Cpt Chorizo 477 5 Joey Russ 476 6 GCReptile 464 6 msc 464 8 drol 422 9 Banana 391 10 Sir Creep 381 11 Skinny Kiltrunner 330 12 Death Impends 327 13 Grim Up North 289 14 YoungWillz 268 15 Book 129 16 Fixed Business 84 17 Prophet 83 18 Yorkshire Banker 82 19 markb4 81 20 Gooseberry Crumble 73 20 John Key 73 22 Grave Danger 56 23 theoldlady 49 23 The mad hatter 49 25 Deathray 36 26 The old crem 35 27 Bibliogryphon 0 27 The Unknown Man 0 27 The Quim Reaper 0 27 Pedro 67 0 If I forgot anything, let me know! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
