    I think Croesus is right - there's bound to be one or two that'll slip through the net.

    Say we keep the thread open for a week, to see if anything new transpires?

    What I meant was that the game ends shortly, nobody on the list can count if they die after midnight. I'll check in a couple days and give the totals.

    Or different time zones?

    The relevant time zone is midnight GMT.
  • Did anyone have Adobe Flash ?

  • The death was announced last night of Tommy Docherty, one of the most interesting football managers of recent times.

    All of the special awards are shared this year.

    The Opening Kickoff award goes to Priscilla, Simon Toad, Schroedingers Cat, Sipech, and Spike, for Terry Jones.

    The Quality not Quantity award goed to jedijudy and Leorning Cniht for having three picks each.

    The Inside Track with the Grim Reaper award goes to Hedgehog, jedijudy, and McMaverick, for having each two unique picks.

    The Sudden Death award, for the last celebrity to pass and give points, goes to Lyda, jedijudy, and piglet.

    Finally, Leorning Cniht wins the overall game for having the most points of anyone, forty-one.

    Yay!

    Thus expires 2020 Celebrity Deathpool. Thanks for your work, Baker. :smile:

    Thanks from me to @Baker too; although we're taking a break this year, there's no reason why the game can't happen again in the future.

    I'd point you to General Goodbyes and RIPs in AS as a place where we can note the deaths and pay tribute to people of "substance".
  • Thanks for organising, Baker. 👏

    Thank you Baker.
    I’m amazed I’ve actually got on any sort of winners list - I keep trying with the quiz!
  • Is the game running this year again?

    After a discussion in the Styx, started by the late Robert Armin, about whether the game was in poor taste, it was decided to take a break for this year, as a mark of respect to him and to Rossweisse.

    There's no reason why it shouldn't run again next year.

    Thank you Baker. Everyone on my list survives!
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host, 8th Day Host
    Ahhh. The Kiss of Life™ Tree Bee!
  • I only scored 4 with Valery Giscard-d'Estaing, but had hoped that he'd have scored the Sudden Death Award with 2nd December - alas, t'was not to be 😔

    Thanks.
  • Are we going to have a general goodbye to interesting people thread? For example, the man who got Anfield singing You'll never walk alone, Gerry Marsden, died today.

    That would be this thread, unless a new iteration is planned for 2021.

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Thanks, Nick - that's the one.

    If anyone's looking for it elsewhere on the Ship, it's in All Saints.
  • I've just popped over and added Gerry Marsden and Tanya Roberts to that thread.
  • Sorry - completely forgot that thread.
