Clegg might well be one of the most inconsequential deaths in deadpooling ever.

 

It was the first thing my South African neighbour told me just now when I came back from walking the dog.

It made the Radio 4 Nine O'clock news bulletin. Not someone I was familiar with.

I still keep thinking of La de da Gunner Graham

[markb4 902]

John Paul Stevens is a hit for me.

[gcreptile 10,979]

Hers's a quick update:

The first subs have scored, especially Michael Sleggs, but also Johnny Clegg (sub for some, main for others), and Tunisia's former president of Bangladesh Ershad. Plus, we also had hits with John Paul Stevens and Denise Nickerson, a unique hit for Banana who is the big winner of this update with 3 hits. Of course, Michael Sleggs also leads to the expected change at the top in favor of Death Impends:

Lol, sorry, you had the unqiue hit with Ershad, but I was too lazy to look up his first name, so I thought I just add his function.... 

 

ok, now I guess I better look it up... former president of Bangladesh Ershad.

[Pedro67 232]

Essebsi my 2nd sub and 11th in total to depart. Same the obit count isn't quite the same.

Ahah, now you're right!

[Banana 859]

Solid hit with Princess Christina

BUT

my dumbass cut her

[YoungWillz 21,071]

Kathleen Blanco my..I'm going to say 5th?...hit here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7369689/Kathleen-Blanco-Louisiana-governor-Katrina-dies.html

[Sir Creep 7,070]

I haven’t checked here a while.  Blanco Clegg Gestapo.  All dead.

[gcreptile 10,979]

The update might have to wait for another week, sorry!

[YoungWillz 21,071]

6th hit with Valerie Harper: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7412971/Valerie-Harper-dead-80-Mary-Tyler-Moore-actress-passes-away-battle-cancer.html

[gcreptile 10,979]

Update after more than a month, few hits, but pretty big ones - especially Kathleen Blanco and Valerie Harper. Fred Rister was picked twice if I recall correctly, and two unique hits, Tim Fischer (DI) and, surprisingly, David Koch (DDT).

Randy Romero is the biggest collective D'oh in a while, I guess. I am especially surprised that at least the NYT obit hasn't come.

Valerie Harper puts Clorox at 2nd. Phantom of the Midway (the player formerly known as RadGuy) jumps from 9th to 4th - the Rister effect.

 

Any errors or omissions? As always, let me know.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

I"m assuming the updated scoring is a work in progress.  

I'm roster #22, I have Blanco.  I took a look at roster #21, also Blanco, neither scored.  So I presume you are going team by team and haven't gotten to me yet.
I have Johnny Clegg no score.  I posted this (see up this page).   

I only mention Blanco....cuz you did.  As in 'I have updated the scoring [including Blanco]'.

You got the points. However, Clegg and Blanco were also picked by almost everyone else, so don't expect to rise in the ranks. 

 

Edit: Ah yes, and I am not up to date with striking through the names. The scores are up-to-date though.

[YoungWillz 21,071]

7th hit here with Mugabe: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9868586/robert-mugabe-dead-zimbabwe-leader/

[Joey Russ 7,229]

Chris Duncan for me. Would really help my chances in this pool...

[theoldlady 2,313]

Hits with Mugabe and Ricksen for me.

[TQR 14,408]

Ricksen scores me 152 juicy points here, to help my chances of getting out of the embarrassingly shit zone of the leaderboard.

[gcreptile 10,979]

Update time:

 

New hits are the frequent picks Robert Mugabe, Fernando Ricksen and Jacques Chirac, as well as the less frequent pick of Suzanne Whang. Jimmy Spicer, so far, is a non-obit. Maybe the fact that the New York Times is a QO here, could become important.

DI keeps the distance to Clorox, who added Ms. Whang in the replacement period. Suddenly, Clorox' pick of Daniel Hernandez aka "that 69 rapper" looks interesting.

But then DI is currently waiting for a Spicer QO.

Ricksen was a joker for some, so those players see a big boost in their score.

[Joey Russ 7,229]

Duncan is also a hit for me, although it looks like his score is in but you forgot to mention him? 

[gcreptile 10,979]

Yes, the score is in!

I am also in the process of updating the main team list, it's just a bit tedious... I have to improve here next year.
