  7. The Big Sleep (1939) - Raymond Chandler It's the second Sunday of the month, so it's time for a new Dead Pool thread. The planet's dying, but so are people. So why not have some fun with it? If you're new to the Dead Pool, it's quite simple. You pick fifteen celebrities you think will die over the course of the coming year (2022). If any of them die, you get points. Whoever gets the most points by the end of the year wins, everyone else is furious at their choices and over-compensates by putting a bunch of oldies in the next year's team and they barely score anything. If you still fancy getting some enjoyment out of people dying, here's what you need to know: RULES To enter, you must be registered on Pie & Bovril before this thread was posted. To enter, send me a NEW private message containing the names of 15 celebrities you think will die in 2022. To make it as easy as possible for me and limit the possibility of mistakes, please try to spell their names correctly. If they use alternate names, please make a note of this. Reasons for a person's fame are welcome for clarification. When submitting a team, please create a new message. In order to have space in my inbox for everyone's entries I have to empty it each year. If you reply to a previous message you've sent me, I won't see it. Seriously, send it on a new message. If you've played in previous years don't send your team via that message, create a new one. I will reply to every message to confirm I've received it, so if I don't, I haven't. For the purposes of eligibility, your PM must be sent to me by 00:00 GMT, January 1, 2022. The game will officially end on 00:00 GMT, January 1, 2023. Despite this, if someone dies in a different time zone, the local time and date will be considered instead. In order to be eligible upon death, your entrants must receive an obituary in a UK-based national news source. Websites concerning a niche interest do not count in this instance - it must be a mainstream news source. If you pick someone obscure or non-British, you may have to find and post a qualifying obituary. I will make every possible effort to find a qualifying link for anyone who dies. The Lauren Hill Rule - American college sports personalities are not eligible. The Liz Taylor Rule - Is someone a celebrity if their child or spouse or relative is famous? Probably not. If their only claim to fame is a well-known relation, they don't count. The Abubakar Shekau Rule - If a pick's date of birth is unconfirmed or unavailable, their points will be calculated assuming their date of birth is the 1st of January of the latest year provided by relevant sources. The Terminal Rule - People who are famous specifically for being ill are not eligible. The World's Greatest Democracy Rule - People who are on death row or facing trial where the death penalty is a possible sentence are not eligible. Fugitives on the run are eligible. Your entrants must be human. Your entrants must be over the age of 18. Your entrants cannot be fictional characters. You are not allowed to kill any of your entrants yourself. If a P&B user is found to be responsible for the death of any of their entrants, they will be disqualified from this and all future Dead Pools. You are not allowed to select any P&B members. If, upon death, it emerges that a celebrity was a P&B poster, this is allowed. It is your responsibility to ensure all of your entrants are alive. Don't do what someone did last year and pick David McLetchie (d.2013). If you pick someone who dies in the final days of 2021 it is your responsibility to PM me with a replacement pick. I would suggest including a short list of back-up picks, just in case. Scores will be updated and posted, hopefully, every Sunday. SCORING Base Points: Each death is worth 125 points minus the person's age. So the younger your picks, the more points if they die. There are several multipliers available: First Blood - The first person to die in 2022 gets 25 extra points. Last Gasp - The last person to die in 2022 gets 25 extra points. Solo Shot - If you are the only person to pick someone who dies you get a bonus of 50 points. Deadly Duo - If only two people pick someone who dies you both get a bonus of 25 points. Captain Bonus - You can nominate a captain of your team who receives an extra set of Base Points added to their score. Inherent Vice - You can nominate a vice-captain of your team who receives an extra set of half Base Points (rounded up) added to their score. (If you do not nominate a Captain or Vice-captain, I will consider the first and second respective names on your list for these positions) Deadly December - If your pick dies in December, you get an extra set of Base Points in addition to any other bonuses. Unnatural Causes - If your pick is murdered, commits suicide or has an accident, you get 30 extra points. I think that's everything that needs to be said. Participation is always high and activity is always lively, so get involved and you might find a new hobby. An extremely weird hobby you'll probably never tell anyone else about, but still a fun hobby. With that in mind, all I have left to say is: GOOD LUCK!
  8. Week 50 update One death this week, former American senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole: Bob Dole: From WW2 casualty to top Republican - BBC News I'm not going to quote a single thing from that description of his life because it would do a disservice to the rest of it. Spending three years recovering from his body being broken on a battlefield in Italy during World War 2 is a highlight to me, but reading about him just makes you wonder about the sort of politicians you have nowadays. Despite all of that, here's what I'll always think of when I hear his name: "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others" is a pretty good summation of American politics right enough. Dole died at 98, so he's worth 27 Base Points with a Deadly December bonus doubling that to 54 points for @Arch Stanton, @Ludo*1, @peasy23, @TxRover and @weirdcal. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 713 2. Bishop Briggs 481 3. psv_killie 459 4. Savage Henry 429 5. Fuctifano 420 6. chomp my root 346 7. Indale Winton 332 8.

ZERO POINTERS: @alta-pete, @get_the_subbies_on, @Hamish's Passenger, @HK Hibee, @Mr. Alli, @Miguel Sanchez, @pawpar, @Raven, @ToBeSomeone, @wellinwigan The spreadsheet has also been updated with these scores: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-OTo44wF_W7A4Q0NFnd1sX3qEDdxTLDobvjhhSgnzkg/edit?usp=sharing The 2022 thread will be up shortly.
  9. QMU Covid policy: Fine, and at least matched the passport to a person's ID which makes more sense than not doing it WWPJ: Fantastic, although Andy looked a bit miserable all night Crowd: Fucking horrific. When the same guy with face tattoos crowd surfs and falls on top of you four times it loses it charm a bit
  10. We Were Promised Jetpacks at the QMU tonight. Anyone been there lately? What are their covid policies like?
  11. Mate for your own sake log off Actually For my sake log off, I never want to read something like that again
  12. Of course, I'm sure literally every restaurant/bar/pub/club/event host take all of their money in the two weeks before Christmas via deposits and pre-planned events. Absolutely nobody goes out this time of year and just spends money in a place because they feel like it, so nobody's going to miss that.
  13. Mixing a bit of truth in with your usual nonsense to try and make it seem more believable, smart move imo
  14. I saw the dentist on the telly this morning wearing scrubs and vaccinating people saying he'd be getting his family to take tests before coming round for christmas because he thinks it's a small price to pay I've not seen him for a while but you forget how awful that voice is.
  15. I'm still watching the old ones. Ghosty version of her turned up at the Doctor's grave. Harrowing to hear she's still not done.
  16. Four at the one time is cheating surely, nobody would look good compared to that.
  17. What ever happened to Tony's film reviews? I enjoyed those. Perhaps the shorter, episodic nature of television would suit his style more.
  18. Fast Car - Tracy Chapman Go - Pearl Jam The Wrong Car - The Twilight Sad Buck Rogers - Feeder 5OUL ON D!SPLAY - Daiki Kasho
  19. I remember as a child getting toys from the coupons or whatever it was Maw Sanchez collected from smoking Club. I'm sure I had a mat with roads on it and some small metal cars of varying colours.
  20. Bit awkward when a gun looking like that would actually get more people to sign up
  21. Everything I see puts her up in my estimations tbqh
