Current standings: uh, I think I'm winning? Yeah. That's it. Of course I'm winning. In counting, there is strength.
Gimmie a moment this break (it's been Finalsseason here at Ye Olde Lahskool), and I'll count your kills.

2018 thread: Uncle Pete, post 453, supra
Rules will probably be more-or-less the same, assuming that...um...okay, I honestly have No Idea if we're actually migrating over by 1 January. We're a few days out, and y'alls know as much about it as I do. Maybe more (see Lahskool excuse, supra).

So, what to do? Well. Right now, I'm thinking a shortened schedule, so that everyone has a chance to research, find fiends and friends, and pick their Lucky 13. We'll start the Abbreviated Death Pool two weeks after we jump ship; this should give everyone time enough to settle in and get to picking.

Heather Menzies-Urich, best known as Louisa von Trapp in The Sound of Music, has died.

In terms of scores, my Very Unofficial Tally shows Ariston leading on points with 110 (from only two hits!!!), followed by Light User at 87 and Leorning Cniht and Sandemaniac at 55.

In terms of most hits (The Quantity not Quality Award), there is currently a tie between Tree Bee and Light User, both with 3 hits.

I really may be wrong about this, but I think the current leader for the Sudden Death Award (for last death in 2017) is me, with Bobby Doerr dying on November 14. But the whole point of that award is that anybody can get it with an opportune passing in the next few days.

And, let's face it, there nearly always seems to be a sleb of one sort or another who croaks over Christmas/New Year.

I think I may be in for the wooden spoon for 2017 - so far I don't think I've had any hits at all.

Ummmmmm, no. You have 12 very sad points for Adam West (June 9).

Assuming I haven't made a mistake (and I usually assume that I have--it saves time in the long run), we had 44 players for 2017, and 19 of them have so far failed to get even one hit. But I haven't looked at today's obituaries yet....

And it has been announced that mystery writer Sue Grafton has died, with the Kinsey Milhone Alphabet series ending at "Y" is for Yesterday. We know that she intended the last book in the series to be called "Z" is for Zero but apparently it was not yet written as of her death.

Really sad about Sue Grafton. I loved the way she described starting the series: as a way of dealing with the messy divorce her ex-husband had just put her through, by murdering him in print. The later books didn't continue with that foreword, but the first few did.

Uh, you know, its less then 24 hours until 2018 for a lot of people and somebody is going to die in the next couple of days, so maybe a new game could be started and somebody could...you know...cut and paste something from here?

It was said earlier that the new thread will start 2 weeks after the new boards. There will be a difficult time when people will die and you have no chance of gaining points.

We can, however, record the sadness at their passing. I know that is what your real concern is.

Would it be possible to give ourselves a few days after the re-launch to get our lists together, and just start from there?

As Og and SC said, we'll probably lose a few deaths and points, but it can't be helped, and we'll all be in the same boat, so it won't matter.

For myself, I haven't even thought about who's going on my 2018 Kiss of Life™ list, so it'll give me a little time to think about it.

Am I the only person who's managed to score a complete zero? All mine have survived the whole of 2017. I haven't done the maths but they must now have achieved a staggering cumulative age. This was my list if anyone wants to check.
quote:

1. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
2. June Whitfield.
3. Paul Gascoine (Gazza).
4. Winnie Mandela.
5. Prince Philip.
6. James Earl (Jimmy) Carter.
7. Robert Mugabe.
8. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev.
9. George H. W. Bush (Sen).
10. Nigel Lawson (Lord Blaby).
11. Douglas Hurd (Lord Westwell).
12. Joseph (Sepp) Blatter.

And finally one who if he reaches his terminal event in 2017 is less likely to do so through natural causes

13. Kim Jong Un.

There are some on that list I'm quite surprised to see still going. I begin to wonder. Do I have some special gift to confer immortality?

I’m on a duck as well. There’s always an element of chance in this game (I’ve won it in the past when the CIA blew up a particularly young and high scoring Taliban commander).

My 2015 list not only scored a duck, but 2 of the people I'd removed from the 2014 list died.

I'm tempting that again this year, by making a few changes.

One of these years my full list will survive and I'll pop my clogs, the ultimate irony.

I've done some research and I reckon 20 of the 45 players scored no points.

However, people might be more interested in the other end of the game so by my calculations the top scorers in 2017 are Ariston and Light User with 87 points each. Third was Tree Bee with 54 points.

The Quantity Not Quality award was certainly well-named as Baker scored a measily 7 points for his 5 celebrities now remembered and not seen.

Zappa won the Inside Track With The Grim Reaper award for identifying Mary Tyler Moore as being the first of our celebrities to transfer to other realms on 25th Jan and Hedgehog won the Sudden Death award for realising that Bobby Doerr would be the last one to go on 13th Nov.

Three people share the Why Does It Always Happen To Me award with two scores each. They are St Gwladys, Cottontail and Light User.

I appreciate that other people have been doing tallies so please do speak up if you have different ideas on the winners. I think that the uncertainty surrounding some of the terrorists might lead to differences. Google is my friend but it appears that it might not know everything. I will put up my full lists in a few moments.

It doesn't matter how carefully I check stuff something always slips through. Ariston's score according to my spreadsheet should be 104 plus whatever Ayad al-jumaili would have scored. I have a date of death of around the beginning of April and no date of birth. If anyone can supply better details then please do.

Therefore Ariston is the outright winner with at least 104 points unless the terrorist was 117 when he died.

Right, then, full scores.

1st Ariston 104 points (at least) from Joost van der Westhuizen, Isnilon Hapilon & Ayad al-Jumali.

2nd Light User 87 points for Gregg Allman, Bruce Langhorne & Martin McGuiness.

There was some discussion at the beginning of this thread about allowing competitors to change their picks. The current rule is quite strict that changes can only be made if one of the picks dies before the competition starts counting. I'm not sure why this should be unless it is to avoid nightmares for the scorer in keeping track. However, as the threads on Old Ship and New Ship are linear then I don't see this as a major problem so I propose we relax this rule in 2018.

Does anyone have any comment on this? I might change my mind after seeing how it works out!

Many thanks as well, given that I have my feet propped up and a cuppa coffeetea* brewing. It's my reward for Killing All Of You.

*Brew coffee. Steep green tea in the coffee. It's a grad student special.

I doubt she was on anyone's list, but Irish singer Dolores O'Riordan (from the band The Cranberries) has died aged 46 [Frown]

It is so young, and she was not, as far as I know, a heavy drug user. Tragic loss - the Cranberries may not have been global megastars, but their music is really good.
