2022 Death Pool Party: Rules and Chat Thread

[eric olthwaite]

Right, wankers. We have sixteen deaths added.

Few points to note:
- Thee table function’s gone to shit because of the forum upgrade, do it’s a manual paste up for now.
- For some reason there were two spellings of Olivia Newton John, so both are listed.
- We have a misadventure: Jean-Luc Godard went for assisted suicide apparently

P2BL: I think it was you I challenged to provide appropriate / compliant evidence for the following:

Francisco Morales Bermúdez
Luis Echeverría
Nehemiah Persoff
Boris Pahor.
Art Rupe

I’ll screenshot the tables for legibility at some point but CBA right now.

[The Tin Man]

Cheers Eric, I'd completely forgotten I had Jerry Lee Lewis.Must have been a unique pick as well. Back in the game

[eric olthwaite]

Mighty Morgue-in Power Ranger

[Phil LUFC]

Might want to edit 1 of the ONJ's on the pick data tab - as it stands she's "unique" for both who picked her, one hyphenated, one not.

Cheers Phil, if you could email me your updated and populated version that would be great, ta.

[Devi]

Just over a month to go and I’m fighting for a podium… COME ON TEAM! You can do it!

[Phil LUFC]

I fixed a few other quirks I'd missed before - bold highlights for most recent scorers went to shit with the addition of the cancer column.

May as well upload it here now that's possible again:

not bad. if you don't make it you can always pull a Lyndsey Sharp, who finished 6th in the Rio 800m final, with so-called '46 XY DSD' athletes having claimed all three podium places.



for the avoidance of doubt, yes I am comparing ptbl to caster semenya.
