JiroemonKimura 95 Posted August 19, 2019 Is this an acceptable obituary for Lars Larsen? You didn't explicitly mention MSN but it is included in Windy City. The fact that Univision is also included seems to imply that foreign-language sources are acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted August 20, 2019 Well all good things have to come to an end, and after 15 days without a hit, our Admin had to actually DO something. And do he has. Updated for Kathleen Blanco - a plethora of hits - and a FINE solo hit for Lars Larsen for JiroemonKimura! And with that solo hit, we have a new leader. Scores are on page (1), and I'm not posting all at this point, but here is your condensed scoreboard: JiroemonKimura - 12 msc - 9 some folks - 4 some other folks - 3 some cuntos - 0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well.... Maybe I'm compiling a personal list of non-obitable people on my team lol. SC Edit: Even the Detroit Catholic paper has it lol. Edit2: Etchegaray points deleted for now.

That pool, in turn, uses the obit sources of the Derby Dead Pool, but adds US sources ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox networks. Also acceptable are CNN, The New York Times, the LA Times and the Associated Press as legit obit sources. This is the QO list @Yvonne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiroemonKimura 95 Posted September 7, 2019 Based on the Lars Larsen precedent of allowing MSN, both Etchegaray and Ellis have QO's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he's saying as precedence for Lars Larsen, those two should be allowed. However, I agree with you, those aren't good enough QOs so Lars Larsen's points should also be deducted.
