Next update:

The new hits, as far as I am aware: Mike Willesee, Manohar Parrikar, Edmund Capon, Samantha McConnell

 

Hmm, that's actually less than I thought. If I see it correctly, nobody picked Dick Dale, nor Angus Sinclair, nor Jan-Michael Vincent, etc...

However, Bernice McCabe got her belated obit.

 

As such, the result is this:

 

Rank Team name Points
1 GCReptile 628
2 Phantom of the Midway 624
3 Cpt Chorizo 574
4 Devon Death Trip 573
5 Joey Russ 558
6 Clorox Bleachman 548
7 Sir Creep 478
8 drol 477
9 msc 464
10 Death Impends 461
11 Banana 446
12 Skinny Kiltrunner 412
13 Grim Up North 289
14 YoungWillz 268
15 Book 129
16 Yorkshire Banker 124
17 Fixed Business 84
18 Prophet 83
19 markb4 81
20 Deathray 73
20 Gooseberry Crumble 73
20 John Key 73
23 Grave Danger 56
24 theoldlady 49
24 The mad hatter 49
26 The old crem 35
27 Bibliogryphon 0
27 The Unknown Man 0
27 The Quim Reaper 0
27 Pedro 67 0

 

 

Ahem, yes I am leading after three hits in this update. However, I previously said that I will not use the replacement period. So I am not going to lead after July.

 

Feel free to point out any mistakes or omissions! Especially those UK-centric celebrities I tend to miss.

 

Edit: Baroness Warnock for the next update

Alright, a quick update before I leave for a few days and before the ketchup bottle of death ejaculates:

 

New hits: Baroness Warnock, Bill Heine, Con De Lange

Also: I only just realized Cpt. Chorizo had Pedro Morales - who died in February with NYT obit. Sorry!

 

This is the new scoreboard, and it shows that Con De Lange was a very significant hit for the new leader! (Gets me out of that awkward position, too....)

Fuxsake I (team #18) haven’t checked in on this one in a while.  I have FIVE dead unaccounted for.  But I believe only Parrikar has a QO.

Funny how it goes. Sometimes it takes three weeks for three hits, sometimes just three days.

I am behind in striking through the names - the scores are up-to-date though (Well, before Cass, Jean and Anh).

Two more possible hits for you, as Granville Coggs and Mary Stopes-Roe await confirmation or a QO.

The former had an interesting life, let's see if it's enough. The latter should come with time.

4 hits in 8 days, obits permitting for a couple, with Coggs, Stopes-roe, Day and Conway.

I.M. Pei is my 5th hit here. :rip:

Yes, time for an update after these very busy recent days.

The Hawke / Conway combo was chosen frequently, and although they only yield few points individually, the combo is nothing to sneeze at.

 

Other hits are I.M.Pei, Brian Walden (another one of Gooseberry's left-field but successful unique hits!), Doris Day, and the now more distant hits of Le Duc Anh and Grand Duke Jean. These two were the only hits in almost 4 weeks!

The jury is still out on Tommy Donbavand, Granville Coggs, Mary Stopes-Roe and Ezra Castro (Pancho Billa, who qualified because in contrast to Tyler Trent, was already notable BEFORE his terminal illness).

Unfortunately, the jury seems to be in a bad mood...

 

There was also one non-obit I hadn't noticed previously, I think, it must have been Representative Jean Price of Montana.

 

The resulting scoreboard is this:

 

1 Death Impends 769
2 GCReptile 725
3 Cpt Chorizo 678
4 Phantom of the Midway 657
5 msc 623
6 Banana 621
7 Joey Russ 620
8 Clorox Bleachman 610
9 Devon Death Trip 602
10 drol 571
11 Sir Creep 511
12 Skinny Kiltrunner 412
13 Grim Up North 367
14 YoungWillz 297
15 Yorkshire Banker 230
16 Prophet 186
17 markb4 154
18 Gooseberry Crumble 134
19 Book 129
20 theoldlady 119
21 Fixed Business 117
22 The mad hatter 102
23 John Key 93
24 Deathray 92
25 Grave Danger 85
26 Pedro 67 72
27 The old crem 56
28 The Unknown Man 33
28 The Quim Reaper 33
30 Bibliogryphon 0

 

First reminder: The substitution period is still 6 weeks away, but maybe you can already start thinking about your 5 substitutions. As promised in the initial post, I will not participate.

Thanks for the explanation.

(I think you have enough wiggle room for me to grudgingly accept :D).

@gcreptile My score should actually be 157 (not counting the recently deceased Herman Wouk). Is this a typo or are you not using the 1922 birth year for Doris Day? Just wanna check.

Yes, I used the wiki DoB. Ah, now I remember there was an issue. What's your suggestion?

 

I might just do another update this weekend, with Wouk, Pongia and possibly Bobby Joe Maxwell.

 

Edit: I did find some Doris Day-related clunkers. Yes, I will be going with the 1922 DoB, I don't know what happened there. The update will come this weekend.
