So. Going to do a few checks to see if I've missed the deaths of any team members. Low and behold on the third list I've checked I've found a missed death. Samantha Beaven, the brave cancer suffering mum, died in May and Captain Chorizo needs 30 basic points plus 12 unique point bonus to total another 42. This may about wrap it up guys...

What this tells me is Captain Chorizo paid zero attention to his team in this pool after submission. Should be stripped of title before obtaining it.

Not only that but.....

 

Much more importantly, surely a key rule is being forgotten here.

 

5. Anyone selecting tender-aged sufferers of terminal diseases or anyone under sentence of death or highly likely to be sentenced to death at the start of the year will be summarily ridiculed and very likely penalised in an arbitrary and unpleasant way should their candidates actually die or be killed.

I thought this pool was supposed to be free of famous-for-being-ills. Or at least the young ones anyway. That's a reason why I entered. She was 28 or 29 when she died and was described as a "young mum" I think that's tender enough? If anything he should lose points.

[YoungWillz 19,142]

3. Andrew Smith (btw I saw nothing about obit limitations)

 

 

Andrew Smith must be a common name. Which one is it, out of interest?

Hm, indeed I thought that this one and the Deathrace prohibited cancer fame types. At least Captain Chorizo would have won without her anyway.

[Toast 14,869]

Seems clear enough to me. You can pick anyone you want, but certain types of pick are discouraged. Note that some incur minus points.

 

Young people usually means children, or at least minors. Not people in their late 20s.

[Rotten Ali 599]

29 year olds are hardly tender. I take onboard the call and need for some ridicule at this point. So, thinking about the fall out that Maryport had to endure with the death of Felix Glenny, I propose that Captain Chorizo now be stripped of the 12 bonus points.

 

Furthermore Estuarian Float has a missing hit. 20 basic points and 8 bonus points for Setsuko Hara's death on the 5th September.

 

As for end of year awards, Toast picks up the 50 point best team award. Good selection of unique picks. A year ahead on the resounding call to list Tony Booth, but then to place Son-Law Tony Blair on her subs bench looks like something akin to asking lightning to strike twice. However to top it all, was the decision to bench Joan Sims. Bit tricky to ask an old dame to fill the role well, but having died in 2001 was not going to stop the laughs from the sidelines.

 

Like last year, I'm giving a raft of points to compensate those who did not specify subs. Having only one sub pays 5 points, not having two gets the team 12 lovely points. Eesti, Hein, Dr Zorders, Tick Tock, Gcreptile, Maryport and Estuarian Float get the extra 5 points. Banshees Scream, Book, Shaun of the Dead, Deathray (finally getting off the marks) and Captain Chorizo pick up 12 points.

 

With a single day to go it looks like this...

 

1st - 227 points - Captain Chorizo

2nd - 169 points - Death Impends

3rd - 168 points - Esuarian Float

4th - 167 points - Dr Zorders

5th - 152 points - time

6th - 145 points - Book

7th - 137 points - Toast

8th - 130 points - gcreptile

9th - 122 points - DDT

10th - 95 points - Eesti

11th - 93 points - Tick Tock

12th - 92 points - Hein

13th - 90 points - Maryport

14th - 89 points - Banshees Scream

15th - 85 points - the_engineer

16th - 74.007 points - LFN

17th - 70 points - STAB in the DARK

18th - 62 points - Shaun of the Dead

19th - 50 points - the Unknown Man

20th - 30 points - msc

21st - 12 points - Deathray

22nd - 10 points - YoungWillz

 

N.B. Maryport sits in the golden position of 13th.

Sir Creep's Team:

 

 

3. Andrew Smith (btw I saw nothing about obit limitations)

 

 

Andrew Smith must be a common name. Which one is it, out of interest?

 

 

Presumably Creep refers to a cancer-stricken college basketball player - not famous because he has cancer, mind, as his career started before the diagnosis. However it's still worth noting that if he dies and gets a qualifying obit, it will only work against you by mere virtue of his profession!

 

http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2315&page=25#entry180710

 

You'd still gain points, but because he's a basketball player and the rules of this game strike points for that, that'll reduce his value.
