CDC Celebrity Dead Pool 2023. (transfered over)

[nuckin_futz]

@smithers joe Just transferring over the Dead Pool from the old site.

CDC Celebrity Dead Pool 2023.

 

Okay peeps its back for another year.   Get your selections in now.

 

 

Pick 20 famous people you think might die in 2022.

Deaths must be confirmed by a web link.

In case of a tie, the winner will be the one with the lowest collective ages (of death).

Do not edit your submission (beyond it's original submission date) or it will be disqualified.

Make your submissions anytime from today through 2023. Deaths before your submission date will not count.

 

Note This is a Celebrity Dead Pool. You cannot simply select people just because they are old. They must be famous for something other then being old.

 

People up for state sponsored execution (death row) and hostages are excluded.

 

Important note - You may not kill anyone on your list or your entry will be disqualified. 

 

 

I have included anyone who has previously played. If you want to be excluded from communication please just let me know. If you know anyone else that may be interested feel free to forward them an invitation.

Please remember this is for fun and has been treated that way for many years, I have made mistakes in calculations etc in the past and am happy to discuss miscalculations so we get the correct results when awarding the winner.

Didn't somebody on your list get found in a lake somewhere?  That's pretty suspicious if you ask me, you shouldn't really make it that obvious...  

[Canuckpuckluck1]

Hey team

 

Glad we have migrated. 

Ive been AWOL with international jaunts to Vietnam and Thailand, and then some work commitments and new construction on the home front. But Im back.

 

 

 

 

Here is the latest and as usual if there is a mistake just let me know and I will correct it. Its difficult to chase up every name on every list, so keep the chatter up and I will do my best to update as quick as I can.

I create a spreadsheet at the beginning of the game and then check off names as I see them broadcast in the media. Or if you guys alert me. At the end of the year I do a far more thorough search. Its a little time consuming hence my lack of activity lately ( ive just been a little busy).

 

I will hopefully be a little more on the ball with this from now on.

Well you better pay them for the overtime then Joe.  No way in hell I can afford to pay these guys double overtime unless Francesco opens up his wallet...

[Canuckpuckluck1]

Its been a little quiet heading into the last past of the year. @Elias Pettersson is still out in front with his gang of henchmen doing the dirty work but I have pulled up alongside.

 

There has been two passings I know of, 

 

Johnny Ruffo

Ruffo died this month aged 35 after a long battle with brain cancer.

 

 

 George Alagiah

BBC newsreader George Alagiah dies aged 67 | Television

RIP Frank Borman. Commander of the Apollo 8 crew that first flew around the Moon on Apollo 8, in Christmas 1968.

 

(It's late sorry November 7, 2023) He was 95.

 

Not many Apollo Vets left.
