The Woolster

I'll tot the scores up, probably next week, but will see if I can get it done before then

Putting everyone's list together (finally!) Late entries always welcome, only 1 person has scored so far, so big disadvantage! There following entered last year but not this, if you resubmit, any that you have rolled over from last year will still get the points if they die within the week. This includes @Fowlers God , who has asked me who he had on his last entry in 2019! @Evelyn Tentions @alles ist gut @Bruce Spanner @Atticus Finch @No2 And if I've got the name change correct, @Captain Willard

Where is your entry...?

Fingers crossed I can get onto this tomorrow and put the lists together

I've got 2 From EastEnders and still didn't get the one who died!

Head over to the 2022 thread Mike!

Damn, I realised one of mine died in the summer and I missed it, thought I had a surprise podium finish!

Should get onto it next week, and if anyone still wants to enter please do, you can join mid-game

Haven't had a chance to go through anyone's list yet, work is busy and the wife has had covid for the last week and isolating, so I've had to do every bloody school run, shop run, lunch, dinner, evening kids club etc... But here's my list Shannen Doherty Nigel Starmer-Smith Jimmy Carter Rosalynn Carter Linda Nolan Tom Parker Jerry Lee Lewis Bill Treacher June Brown Pele

If you haven’t played before please get involved. Rules listed below. 1. Each contestant much pick 10 celebrities who they think will die between 00:01, 24th January 2022 and 23:59 31st December 2022. Lists are final as of the starting time. I will accept late entries, perhaps someone finds this thread half way through the year and would like to enter, however if someone dies within 1 week you won't get the points for it. 2. When the death has been confirmed, points will be awarded, and the people who had them chosen may choose a new celebrity for their list. 3. A celebrity is defined as a person who lives their life in the public domain. If we have not heard of them, then we can reject them. A good rule of thumb is if they have a Wikipedia page that you didn't just make. 4. Death row prisoners and people in public 'right to die' cases are not permitted. 5. Your picks can be any age at all. No minimum or maximum for the categories, but points will be awarded like this: 50+ - 10 points 35-49 - 20 points Under 35 - 30 points 6. You will get fewer points if it is one of your replacements which dies. This is because the new pick may be based on more recent news, so is not 'as skilled' as an original pick. 50+ - 9 points 35-49 - 15 points Under 35 - 20 points Please PM me your lists, and I will begin the spreadsheet. Even if you want your list carried over from last year, please PM me to let me know so that I can 1. confirm your list, and 2. keep track in one place who has entered. This also stops people copying your lists. Once the game begins, I will post the lists here. When you're sending your lists in, please put in the categories of your entrants in order like this... 1. John 50+ 2. Mike 50+ 3. Steve 50+ 4. Sam 50+ 5. Arnold 50+ 6. Peter 50+ 7. David 35-49 8. Liam 35-49 9. Tom U35 10. Paul U35 Please don't use nicknames! I will not open the PM until my list is posted. Good luck everyone!

AND NEW DEALTHLIST CHAMPION OF TLW IS..... @littletedwest obviously! Congrats mate, and a cracking score too, I think my top score was 90, so you've beat that, and I don't know if anyone has had 8 deaths before either. I am glad to pass over the title of the forum's grim reaper, it has been a heavy burden for the past 5 years! littletedwest - 94 points Rush Limburgh Prince Philip Leon Spinks Jimmy Greaves Dustin Diamond Capt Tom Moore DMX Sarah Harding Evelyn Intentions - 49 points Desmond Tutu Prince Philip Hal Holbrook Christopher Plummer Betty White Strontium Dog, Bjornebye and Redheart all on 39 points All with Prince Philip, Cap Tom Moore and DMX. Stronts had Rush Limbaugh Stig had Murray Walker Redheart made a late charge on to the podium with Betty White The Rest The Woolster, Atticus Finch & No2 - 29 points Vladimirllyich, Red_or_Dead & Gruntfuttock - 20 points Bruce Spanner - 19 points Alles ist Gut, Harry's Lad, Tokyo Joe & Colonel Kurtz (RIP) - 10 points Jairzinho - Nil points Overall, pretty good scoring, usually there is a fair few more with zero deaths. I'll get this year's one up and running in the next few days!

Ok, this could be controversial... According to Wiki, Hal Holbrook actually died on 23rd January, and the competition started from 1st February, however, his death was not announced by his family until 2nd February. Unless Evelyn admits otherwise, I presume he did not have inside info on this, so I am going to give him the points! This does however change the leaderboard...

Soon!

Shouldn't have made the clarification!

Has there been a NYE death before?! I know I've been a crap competition organiser this past year or 2, WFH has been crap for my free time, but I should have the time to tot up the scores next week!
