Last year, Pele died on the 29th of December, bumping JustOneCornetto and Indale Winton ahead of Bishop Briggs with 2 days to spare. Pele didn't even get the last gasp bonus that year, either, so there's room for even more brinksmanship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 3 rich b*****ds, a well known Frenchman and a business owner…obits coming in soon…imagine the haul for anyone that named the lot of them… Actually, let’s see… Hamish Harding was 58…that’s 67 points, plus a 50 point accident bonus, add a solo shot and he’d could be worth 167 by himself. Shahzada Dawood was 48…that’s 77 + 50 + 50, could be 177. Sukeman Dawood…but might well not qualify as famous enough…was 19…that’s 106+50+50, could be 206. Paul-Henri Nargeolet was 77…that’s 48+50+50, could be 148. Stockton Rush was 61…that’s 64+50+50, could be 164. So, with “good luck”, someone could have rung up as much as 862 points in one go… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's pages for two more now, but they were created after the incident (and I'd guess that Wikipedia's editors will probably merge those into the accident's page at some point). The strategy of picking random nobodies nobody's heard of in the hopes that they not only die, but die in a way that hits the news, would be an interesting one, but generally rather fruitless.

I know, but it’s a fascinating concept. Did get me wondering, surely there’s been at least a double point incident in Deadpool history…someone must have gotten lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
