ABC Deadpool IV

F is for Ferlinghetti

Bout time I checked in to see how my big comeback is going in this pool.  Meh.  Not so great.  But I will inform of the passing of James Randi on Oct 20, 2020, which is a solo hit at "R" worth a total of 5 pts, giving me a new total of 16.  Brings me up a few spots.  Still far from the big showing I had promised myself.  Once again the competition is outstanding, while I am merely outsitting.

Uncle Bulgaria and I have Murray Walker

[Banana 859]

Carmel Quinn is a hit for a few

Also a hit for me, as he was my substitution for the double mention of Nick Hitchon.

Prince Philip is a hit for many of us here.

[Yvonne 361]

Any chance the scoreboard could be updated please?

[markb4 902]

Norman Lloyd is a hit for me, @Yvonne, and @Wormfarmer.

@Sir Creep Is this game going to be renewed for the 2021-2022 season?  

[Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,287]

Not that it affects the leaderboard (or even the top three quarters of the table) but I think I should have 15 points rather than 12.

Anne Buydens 2

Tom Moore 2

Des O Connor 6

Nobby Stiles 3

Murray Walker 2

 

Thanks.

[Yvonne 361]

Or would anybody else volunteer to take it on??

I've mentioned to Creep that if needed I could step in to run it. Not sure why this pool hasn't been updated in months.

[Yvonne 361]

Thanks Banana so do we submit a new list on 1 August?

Thats up to Creep

[HDS 238]

Is this pool back or not?

[Wormfarmer 427]

I will also volunteer to come back and run it, if needed.  I sure do appreciate Sir Creep's efforts over the past few years.  I can at least assure an update every few weeks, and usually more often when my job slows down.  I originated this pool back in 2017 so I have a desire to keep it running if there is decent interest.  Plus, I think I have my best list yet in preparation for the upcoming year!  Of course, Banana offered first so he earns first refusal.  

[Wormfarmer 427]

For anyone following this thread, please prepare your lists for submission prior to Aug 1, whether it's Banana, Sir Creep or myself that runs it.  I think it's safe to say the pool will live on another year.

This is your baby, I won't interfere 

[Wormfarmer 427]

If we don't get any input from Sir Creep by July 31, I will assume I am going to run the pool this year, and I will open a new thread with the title ABC Deadpool #5.  Entries will be accepted until close of Aug 3rd and the points will start to accrue on Aug 4.  Any deaths prior to that will need a substitute.  So that will give us a few extra days to sort out who is running and who is playing.  I will either post my list first thing (in code) or send it to an early entrant (I already have one person that PM'd me a list).  I will post a master list within a week or so after that.  

Of course if Sir Creep has plans to continue to be poolmaster, he can jump right in and set his own timelines.

[Yvonne 361]

That is good news thanks for taking this thread on

[Wormfarmer 427]

Since this pool has ended and we should have declared a winner, I was wondering if Sir Creep would mind if I made a final standings table?  What I would ask is that everyone who played make sure that their own final scores are correctly updated and post them here.  I can tabulate and formally congratulate a winner and put this one in the books.  For what its worth my final (miserable) score was 26.  7 hits, with 2 solos and 1 duo.  No 1940 bonuses.  Did anyone get the 5 vowel bonus???

Only other hit unmarked is Sang-chul, Yoo. Should be 5 points (last name plus 1940). So a total of 43 I believe.
