Fantastic TV, had to pause it a load of times to just shout "what are you doing" at the TV with the missus.

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, 1st February 2024 and 23:59 31st December 2024. 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. Please post replacements in this on this thread, PMs may be missed or not come through.
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.
If your message bounces back, please let me know on the thread, I may need to pay for membership to get the space in my inbox...
Good luck everyone!

A bit of what might have beenery here but if she'd have carked it four days earlier, I'd have pipped you by a point.
I bow to your uncanny skill at reaperage.
I would have been a tie, only original picks get full points, and she was a replacement.

AND............ STILL DEATHPOOL CHAMPION OF THELIVERPOOLWAY - littletedwest!!!
I think that is the 3rd year in a row, so congrats!
littletedwest won with 49 points thanks to what I think is probably the quickest death (I do seem to remember 1 if not same day, maybe next day nomination before?), after picking Shane McGowan on the same day that Kissinger finally went. If McGowan had gone first, it would have been a draw
Bobby Charlton
Rolf Harris
Henry Kissinger
George Alagiah
Shane McGowan
Harry's Lad was 2nd with 40 points.
Rolf Harris
Henry Kissinger
George Alagiah
Silvio Berlusconi
And I came 3rd with 30 points.
Rosalyn Carter
Henry Kissinger
Bob Barker
Tied 4th with 20 points
Redheart, Gruntfuttock and Bjornebye
Tied 7th with 10 points
Vladimirllyich, Red_or_Dead, Tokyojoe and No2
Nil points to Jairzinho and Special K
Shout out to Bjornebye, who had both Sinaed O'Connor and Burt Bacharach in his list last year, but took them out for this year's entry...
I'll get the new game up an running in next day or 2

We need @The Woolster to do us a running points total. I loved those weekly updates he gave us.I'm thinking about it...
It was pretty pointless in those seasons where us and City were pretty much winning every game, and too depressing to do last season.
It's just finding the time... But I guess it would get me back on the site more often and rather than just in January to sort out the Celebrity Deathlist comp...

I didn't enter this year (I get too frustrated with the scores not being updated) but he was on my last year's list. Bob, I'm sorry, if I'd entered you'd still be alive.
I did ask if anyone would like to over as I'm not really on the site much!
I think it would be good for the game if a frustrated player took over the reigns and put in the effort it deserves...

Remember those boss threads we had for a few seasons where someone (I want to remember the name of but the name I think I can remember doesn’t show up when I try and @ them)
went to painstaking effort to track what we needed points wise to achieve our ambitions for champions league spots and an ultimate league title against a bunch of different statistical barometers and whether we were up, down or even against them?
I loved them. They were boss.
well, GOT have started their own, and I reckon it could be just as much fun

Thanks!
When us and City started winning more or less every game, it became kind of pointless so stopped doing them. I think this season would be too depressing, but maybe I'll start it up again for next season...
Wasn't too much effort though, at least once I'd set the spreadsheet up anyway!

I've got 8 messages so far in my inbox, get your entries in by tomorrow if you can.
There are a few who get involved and post in the thread, but have never entered, I think it's about time you did and get some skin in the game!
