Lord have Mercier... a trio of teams benefit from Sheila Mercier's death. The Old Crem gets 45 points, Bibliogryphon gets 35 and his first hit of the year, and WidowsPeak gets 25.

Frederick be dead... Nixon's Secretary of Commerce, Frederick B. Dent, gives your host 40 base points plus 16 for uniqueness, for 56 in total.

December was a dry period as it stands with two deaths of little scoreboard impact. As 2019 draws to a close, the penultimate scoreboard arrives...

 

Remember, there still is a week left until the 2019 HPDP is officially closed, the end-of-year bonuses are applied, and the winner is crowned. If you spot any names who died and obited but did not get scored, or if you spot any applicable bonuses that a hit did not receive, these next few days would be a good time to speak up.

I think only three of mine obliged, so am content with mid-table obscurity.

Well, that's that. The 2019 HPDP has officially closed, and it was a rousing victory for @theoldlady.

 

Order is everything in the HPDP. A lot of canon names last year either died much earlier or much later than most teams were expecting them to. Thus whereas a lot of teams disrupted their victory plans by picking Fatima Ali super low while placing Ricksen or Blanco in pole position, theoldlady proved lucky in avoiding many of these names. Instead she cobbled a victory through Shivakumara Swami (has it really been nearly a year since he died? It feels like just yesterday we were all marvelling at his indestructibility...), Peter Tork, Le Duc Anh, Tim Conway, Robert Mugabe, Jose Jose, and Leah Bracknell. All these hits carried at least 35 base points, and four of them had bonuses attached.

 

Early on Lord Fellatio Nelson dominated the scoreboard with the jackpot hit of Carol Channing. However he would only have one further hit with Mugabe much later in the year. The early wipeout of Kaye Ballard and some canon names (the foodie trio and McGahan) swept msc into the lead, which he held on to until Tim Conway saw theoldlady scrape the top. For several months yet, it looked like either one could win, with msc getting his lead back after the July deaths of Arte Johnson and Johnny Clegg. But theoldlady returned to the lead for keeps with Robert Mugabe's death, and fortified her position with Jose Jose and Leah Bracknell.

 

The 13th place boost of 50 points is delivered to markb4. For the unusual team bonus, Joemoneypenny gets 30 points with his intriguing assemblage of decrepit moguls, fashion designers, and Nicole Kidman.

 

Congratulations to theoldlady!
