The Hartlepool Deadlypool

Recommended Posts

After months of arduous labour on the parts of Notapotato and Magere Hein, The Hartlepool Deadlypool is ready to accept entrants.

A cut above the usual deathpools, the Hartlepool Deadlypool distinguishes its self in that it requires the participants not only to predict the deaths of celebrities, but also the order in which the deaths will occur.

A fiendishly complex scoring system combined with a uniquely arbitrary and unpredictable team of administrators and some opaque and incomprehensible rules should all make for an exciting game in the course of the year.

So get your entries in! Closing date is the 31st of December. Probably.

I will look into this.

Taking my chances with this question, but what do you have against a certain living wife of a deceased former president?

 

Not that I plan to use said person in any Dead Pool, just curious.

There's a lot to do at the end of the year.

 

I intend to enter the Derby Deadpool for the first time and regale the Deathlist on my top 50 for the year for their consideration. And now this one's got to be in order! My brain will hurt!

Notapotato's word is final

Am so excited. Have just submitted Cancer Ward for the HDP, a specialist team that had to have (or have had) cancer to qualify and Liz Taylor didn't even make the team. Sorry Liz, I have at least 10 before you although I might have put you in goal.

Last night I submitted my entry - hay, it took me a few moments to bounce around your rules. Looking forward to the laughs we will have on this one - chears Notapotato(e)

Thank you everyone for your entries to the HDP!

 

Now I have fixed the entry form, would you mind entering your teams again?

 

Sorry.

 

Thank You.

I've re-submitted my team of mostly obscure people.

 

And yes I know I spelled paediatrician wrongly, the shame burns like white phosphorus.

Sorry.

 

Thank You.

Have I really got to do it again? I plucked 10 names from thin air, literally the first I thought of. Most weren't even over 60, they were wishful, optimistic entries.

 

Never mind, I'll have another go tomorrow.

Notapotato - How come LBJ can't be on the list?

It's just an irrational prejudice dating back to the days of Weatherman90, Death List Observer and GracieJc8.

 

Thank you to everyone who has entered. I hope Godot gets out of the Funny Farm in time to resubmit his choices.

I'm going to enter as soon as I've thought up a name and a team - so probably just before midnight on 31st December. At least it will give me something to talk to elderly relatives about on New Years Eve - there's nothing like a good discussion about death with old people on the eve of a new year.

I've entered (the competition, not anything else recently!) and have heard nothing back from the admin team responsible - poor show if you ask me!

Don't wory I have all of your entries (Except Godot's) and they'll get acknowledged in due time.

 

Except for whoever's it was who sent me a list of about 30 people and put in my own email address. They are unlikely to win.

 

For your peace of minds, here's a list of the currently entered teams:

 

Windsor The troll

C. A. D. ABRE

The Ghost of Guiseppe Garibaldi

Nice Tits

The Douglas Bader dance Troupe

Horsebrutality

Josco's Jokers

Widow's XP

Stab in the Dark

Damn with faint Praise

 

If your name isn't there then drop me a line.

 

I had a wee think about the substitute question and have decided not to allow them, but the candidate who dies before the end of 2005, although getting no points themselves will still count towards increasing the multiplier for the others if and when they drop off.

 

Not many of you have put in much profile info or an avatar. You can still do that after the closing date and we may even get around to puting it up on the site sometime.
