Pete Frates makes it 18 hits for me. Assuming the pool is resurrected, that should hopefully leave me in a decent position. (although who knows, given the oddities of the scoring system).

That sounded like a LOT, but I looked and I too have 17 hits (3 wild cards).  I guess we call you the winner and me second place :)

UPDATE 5

1 2 3 4

 

 

Hits/Misses
Woizlawa-Feodora Elise Marie E Reuss | 3rd June | 1 team
Johnny Clegg | 16th July | 18 teams
Rutger Hauer | 19th July | no teams
Harley Race | 1st August | 3 teams
Lisa Wells | 17th August | 2 teams
Kathleen Blanco | 18th August | 20 teams
Valerie Harper | 30th August | 10 teams
Robert Mugabe | 6th September | 11 teams
Daniel Johnston | 11th September | 1 team
Fernando Ricksen | 18th September | 18 teams
José José | 28th September | 10 teams
 

 

We begin this update with the unnoticed death of the Duchess of Mecklenburg, Princess Woizlawa Feodora Elise Marie E Reuss. The 100-year-old was the last member of her family, but was better known for having a long name. She didn't obit. Shame.

 

In 2 months we lost five D40ers who became something of a canon. They were Johnny Clegg, Kathleen Blanco (who was a hit for the most teams and scored the most points so far), Valerie Harper, Robert Mugabe and Fernando Ricksen. Almost everyone had 3 of these people on their team.

 

Gooseberry Crumble once again took the unconventional route. He swerved clear of all five names and opted instead for a unique with singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston. Skinny kiltrunner, The Mad Hatter and msc narrowly missed out on uniques of their own. However, everyone missed Blade Runner actor Rutger Hauer. Another popular pick was José José, whose debut album was called José José. Regrettably no teams chose to double their fortunes.

 

A fair few of you have noticed that I've had some difficulty keeping this DP alive. The reason for this is that my setup is a bit of a time-consuming nightmare. The Brackers death date issue didn't help. It's a pool that people are interested in and I don't want to throw up a crude, subpar leaderboard. Anyhow, stay tuned for the next – fully up-to-date – scoreboard tomorrow.

UPDATE 6

1 2 3 4 5

 

 

Hits/Misses
Leah Bracknell | September | 17 teams
Bill Macy | 17th October | 2 teams
Marieke Vervoort | 22nd October | 8 teams
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi | 27th October | 4 teams
Gay Byrne | 4th November | 6 teams
Harrison Dillard | 15th November | 2 teams
Clive James | 24th November | 15 teams
Yasuhiro Nakasone | 29th November | 5 teams
Pete Frates | 9th December | 8 teams

 

 

I decided that the right thing to do, in the case of Leah Bracknell's death date, was to do nothing. The date has literally no effect on the scores. She was the most popular pick of this update, but 15 teams went for fellow hinger-oaner death-tease Clive James.

 

Speaking of whom, Marieke Vervoort provides the first unnatural death points of the year. Speaking of unnatural deaths, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi... I can't keep this chain going. Who else died? Actor Bill Macy, not to be confused with the more widely-known William H. Macy. Oldest living state leader Yasuhiro Nakasone and Late Late Show host Gay Byrne. Former 'world's fastest man', Harrison Dillard, who was a unique pick in DDP, another string to the bows of CaptainChorizo and Gooseberry Crumble.

 

Although Pete Frates might not have come with any bonuses, his death nudges An Fear Beag into joint first place. Bookies' favourite The Mad Hatter has serious competition now. If there are no changes then An Fear Beag will win; he has 18 hits versus The Mad Hatter's 14, and 3 wildcard hits vs 2. Any changes to the top will result in an update.

As there were no changes aside from the death of unpicked M. C. Beaton, @An Fear Beag is indeed this year's winner! Major props to @The Mad Hatter as well, who tied for points but ultimately lost out when it came to hits. Another tiebreak further down was decided on hits – Chorizo coming in at 6th whilst fellow 100-pointer Unknown Man settles for 7th.

 

 

1. An Fear Beag - 115

2. The Mad Hatter - 115

3. theoldlady - 107

4. Book - 106

5. msc - 104

6. CaptainChorizo - 100

7. The Unknown Man - 100

8. Pedro67 - 99

9. FixedBusiness - 98

10. Death Impends - 94

11. Banana - 83

12. The Old Crem - 82

13. Skinny kiltrunner - 80

14. Sir Creep - 79

15. Joey Russ - 77

16. RadGuy - 75

17. YoungWillz - 64

18. Gooseberry Crumble - 60

19. Toast - 54

20. Bibliogryphon - 49

Thanks Clorox. Somehow I had completely missed your post on 24th December, so I had no idea I was in the lead. It came as quite a pleasant surprise today when I saw that I had won it.

I am still completely bewildered by the scoring system in this game, so I don't really know HOW I won it, but I'll happily take it!!

Thanks for running the game - it seems like a lot of hard work for little reward.
