Eesti 151 Posted November 8, 2020 On 21/09/2020 at 12:41, Eesti said: Currently on 16th position, but gaps are small. Here are my survivors: Tom Smith (Joker) - If this man doesn't go down. I don't have any chance at all. George Alagiah - Back on TV? F*ck. Noel Conway - Slowly dying, maybe too slowly... David Gulpilil - Why isn't this guy dead already? Yoo Sang-Chul - Clearly has to go at some point, but maybe not this year. Leon Spinks - I'd say it is very unlikely for him to survive this year. 90% chance that he dies before 2021. Nobby Stiles - Haven't seen any news about him. Could go this year, could go later. DEAD 30/10/2020 Alex Trebek - 50/50 chances. DEAD 08/11/2020 Jean-Louis Trintignant - According to sources should be dead already. What is going on? Bill Turnbull - Seems like not going this year... Eddie Van Halen - Nobody really knows when... DEAD 06/10/2020 So... if I get Smith, Gulpilil, Spinks and maybe 1-2 extras from the list, do I have any chance to win? I doubt it... so better luck next year! Better than expected.

msc 18,437 Posted November 8, 2020 Alex Trebek's death puts the Drop 40 to 16/40, a new DDP record. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 13, 2020 I have updated for the various recent hits. Tom's Chainsaw Massacre has had an incredible run these past days and finds themselves at 6th place now. Sutcliffe and Supernaw today, Trebek two days ago, as a joker, and Nobby Stiles just two weeks ago. Certainly, player of the month of November, with possibly the best november ever. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282 Posted November 15, 2020 Des O'Connor is a hit for my Pop Go the Wurzels team.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 15, 2020 So Des O'Connor died "peacefully in his sleep". The fall was more than a week ago. I refer to our previous discussion of these cases, that the fall was just a normal age-related occurrence, and not directly related to his death. So it's a natural death.

msc 18,437 Posted November 15, 2020 Yeah a fall bonus needs to be directly related to the death, like Christopher Barry, whose death was directly linked to falling down an escalator at a shopping centre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 17, 2020 Okay, cleaning up our general DDP database and I keep finding some rotten apples. I think I post it here for general knowledge, and my own references. New List of the Lost-ers: Vladimir Dolgikh John Lysak Sen. Mark Andrews Olympic Athlete Robert Chef D'Hotel died in Octobre 2019, but it's such an incredibly obscure announcement that probably wasn't even made in 2019.

msc 18,437 Posted November 25, 2020 I don't do nice graphs like Biblio, but here's the "remaining" DDP hits mapped out. The 2020 DDP is at 243 hits, 32 behind the record, and a day ahead of the record holder now. A slow November has put the attempt at a new record in jeopardy. 275 – 28/12/2016 – Debbie Reynolds 274 – 27/12/2016 – Carrie Fisher 273 – 26/12/2016 – George S Irving 272 – 25/12/2016 – George Michael 271 – 24/12/2016 – Rick Parfitt 270 – 24/12/2016 – Richard Adams 269 – 24/12/2016 – Liz Smith 268 – 24/12/2016 – Edwin Reinecke 267 – 20/12/2016 – Michele Morgan 266 – 20/12/2016 – Patrick Jenkin 265 – 19/12/2016 - Rabbi Lionel Blue 264 – 18/12/2016 – Leo Marjane 263 – 18/12/2016 – Zsa Zsa Gabor 262 – 17/12/2016 – Henry Heimlich 261 – 15/12/2016 – Craig Sager 260 – 14/12/2016 – Bernard Fox 259 – 13/12/2016 – Thomas Schellin 258 – 12/12/2016 – ER Braithwaite 257 – 12/12/2016 – James Prior 256 – 11/12/2016 – John Moffat 255 – - 10/12/2016 – Ken Hechler 254 – 8/12/2016 – Sheila Quinn 253 – 8/12/2016 – John Glenn 252 – 8/12/2016 – David morsley 251 – 7/12/2016 – Hildegard Hamm-Brucer 250 – 7/12/2016 – Joseph Mascolo 249 – 6/12/2016 – Peter Vaughan 248 – 6/12/2016 – Adolf Burger 247 – 4/12/2016 – Moyra Browne 246 – 2/12/2016 – Sammy Lee 245 – 28/11/2016 – Van Williams 244 – 27/11/2016 – Mark Taimanov 243 – 26/11/2016 – Fritz Weaver – 2020 DDP is here, 25/11/2016 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted November 25, 2020 "Finbarr Returns From the Dead" receives some late points for ALS "awareness raiser" Chris Penderast, because of a Daily Mail article about him. It comes a month late and slipped through the cracks - sorry! I assume Mr. Wolfensohn will get an obit in no time, which puts us at 246 hits, i.e. 30 away from the record with about 36/37 days left. And even if we fail to break the record, with a slightly smaller number of teams, it's still impressive and a credit to the wide quality of players. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 26, 2020 Just would like to congrats Reptile on his win after the late Felton obit. 25 points, I believe that’s the biggest lead since DDT dominate win in 2011... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
