I have mine kind of set, including a couple of how the fuck they got on names. (I can assure you that none of the names I’ve tried adding to database got in or are still waiting for a response, so all have been on the database before I got on before now)...

A DL/DSCDP pal and I are planning a Spite Pick pool on DSCDP, but would like to limit the entries to invitation only, for those who have met their quotas for competitiveness and are satisfied to coast on the rarefied glee of karma. For example, if seeing people like Ivan Milat and Jeffrey Epstein die, but coming in fifth, is okay by you on one funeral home, let that funeral home be mine.

What's the name, Torva? Is it public, or do we need an invite? I definitely have some ideas!

It's going to be invitation-only. DMs of the 'me! me!' variety, DSCDP handle provision included, are accepted.

 

DSCDP: Beat a Dead Hearse is renewing the public hate-picks Funeral Home 'Die Motherfucker Die' for 2020, and will, I understand, be as thorough culling as s/he was in 2019. Because that's a public option my 'Spite: Every Drop a Delicious Ray of Sunshine' Funeral Home (well, ours, I have a partner) is invite-only. Accommodating FH directors, DSCDP folk who are mutual Twitter followers, and most anyone here choosing a high-on-glee-and-karma, low-on-points alternative expressing interest will receive an invite at least 48 hours before the pool starts.

Kisses blown to you for letting me keep some centenarian solos.

Quick preview of the lists is pretty impressive- I see dead people!

The biggest surprise to me is the solo for HdS for Daniel Arap Moi. Guess every figured he would get taken and wouldn't be worth more than 5 points, but now HdS is in line for the extra 25. Higher level thinking!

Am completely stunned that Alauddin Ali, Bibian Mentel, and Majek Fashek we’re on the database whereas folk such as Jeffrey Foskett and Peter Schjeldahl were declined. Really inconsistent...

Apparently they have 2 committees,  one American  and one  international, that vote on submissions.  I dont know what criteria they use, but I agree, inconsistent.  The mandatory requirement is a wiki page, but its certainly no guarantee.

I took a chance on the Galyon boys, world's oldest conjoined twins. If one dies,  they both die, so Daily Double is a good chance, plus solo points, for up to 164 points if it's their year. And if they die on their birthday, oh baby!

The rest of us are recognizable by our usual names.

I'm new to this, so didn't really know how to play it.  I couldn't think of many younger people, so concentrated on avoiding the very old. 

Some of my picks are long shots. The ones in italics are uniques.

Thanks, but I threw the same Hail Mary on Henry Gray (thinking first blood + maybe everyone else backed off) and sadly it missed. Several strong lists on here and several names i have earmarked for other funeral homes. Best of luck to all and thanks to Skinny for setting up the game.

Actually really do like this as a dart throw. If it hits, it's game over.

The good news for you is if Henry Gray goes in Feb then he becomes an extra 50 point bonus way more then the solo bonus

Now we wait for the ever-sexy First Blood bonus.  Who will it be? I say Neddy Smith.

I was one of those who lucked into the First Blood bonus. So excited I ate the candy bar I'd been saving since Christmas.

Congratulations on First Blood, but I'm guessing it was in a different pool than Fossorius Endeavour?  We all still seem to be at zero there, meaning this bonus is still up for grabs here.

Will you be posting a master list so we can keep tabs on pool hits?

(Still not really sure how this works)

If you get a hit, you will get an automatic email from the site.  Aside from this, the hits there get put up on their dashboard page, and the score totals are managed for us by the site as well.

I'll probably make note of some of the significant hits here, but others can feel free to as well if the mood strikes them.  I'm not possessive of this. I'm hoping there will be some form of running commentary here over the year by participants.
