I am obviously missing a really easy. Team Dirt is in first place. Where is the list? I keep scanning and searching the page and can’t find it.

Methinks Baker posted her standings in the wrong thread.

I was shocked to find out that the still-living Doctor Whos and Masters added up to exactly sixteen. I’ve never had a list work out that well before, numerically speaking.

Yup, I did.

Donna Britt, news anchor, died of ALS, at the age of 63.

(Putting me on the board with 37 points).

I just did a quick scan of my list, and apparently another of my people has died: Pave Maijanen, Finnish drummer, at the age of 29 points (71 years old).

Two picks is a LOT in the Themed Pool!

It helps to have list full of terminally ill people.

Cloris Leachman dies at 94.

RIP Phyllis Lindstrom et al.

Six points for me! (and a couple of others)

Aww, damn.

I mean, yay points!

She was great as the grandmother in “Raising Hope” a few years back.

Bruce Kirby has died but he was on my alternate list.

So close.

6 points and a spot on the board for Bayaker and Shoeless

Almost forgot that I had the Canadian hater of human rights and the environment on this list too!. Suffice to say, she never AFAIK, corrected her mistake when spreading the fake news that a murderer was the founder of Earth Day.

Kathy Shaidle died on 9 January 2021 (aged 56)

Forgot the link to her wiki page:

44 points for GIGObuster:

Hey @phungi can you recheck the standings? It looks like I fell off the bottom of the list when you added GIGObuster.

apologies for the copy/paste error:

If Charo does die this year, which of her birth years will we use to calculate her age?

I’m not a player in the themed pool, but in the normal one, a dispute about the person’s year of birth means that the more recent year is the one used. So whichever year makes her younger is the “official” year used. I assume this pool operates similarly.
