Would be just my luck for Keith Richards to kick off.
Been riding that horse for 20 years!
Let me know what your list would have been and we can track it. But you know, not many chose Richards this year. Hmmm.
I had that last year, with a list submitted. 
Lacey Underall is skinny-skiing her way through the giant caddy shack in the sky. Cindy Morgan dead at 69.
Derek Draper (on my alternate list) dies at 56
44 points down the drain. 
Last year the Opening Kickoff was on Jan 6. Looks like this year it will go longer.
I am confused. Glad to still be on the race, of course.
if it makes a difference, According to wiki, Cindy Morgan died in 2023.
Her roommate came back from the holidays and found her dead presumably of Natural Causes.
Another pointless death.
Huh, i just noticed that too. Wikipedia originally had her death listed as today (Jan. 6), but just now changed it.
What is confusing you?
I think this:
Followed by this?
(I was confused, too)
mmm
That is correct, @Mean_Mr.Mustard has explained it perfectly. And you are the one getting the Opening Kickoff Award (or not), you have a stake in this.
I’m happy that I explained it perfectly, but I remain confused.
1/4/24 – David Soul dies at 80. @MarkF2004, who had Soul, gets 20 points.
1/5 – @Baker acknowledges MarkF’s 20 points and Opening Kickoff award.
1/6 – Baker says the Opening Kickoff award will go longer than 1/6.
mmm
Ah, I didn’t realise there was uncertainty about the award… I await our Deathmistress to (as t’were) put us out of our misery…
He is dead tho’…yes?
I wouldn’t read too deeply into it. The award was awarded. Baker probably just forgot. It happens, especially when you’re running a massive death pool.
You are probably right, it’s just that I am confused, surely Baker can clear everything up.
In the meantime, some news:
Mario Zagallo, Brasilian who lost against Uruguay died yesterday, aged 92.
Soul gave the Opening Kickoff. I’m a confused DeathMistress myself and I think I was pondering the other game where I myself got the Opening Kickoff,
I know. It wasn’t announced until now and it’s not the first 2023 dropped in a 2024 death pool thread.
