2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

The Game Room
2221

Sincere and heartfelt meaningless word for padding, you mean.

2222

Please be patient will you?

2223

I can be patient, but it helps to know I’m waiting on something rather than having no idea if I’m waiting on anything at all. So thanks for the acknowledgement. No hurry.

2224

Murder spree?

2225

To be fair, the death happened last spring and was even mentioned in the thread.

It’s just the two of us who had the guy missed noticing it.

And two more 2025 deaths (not picked on a list–at least not from my search–so no impact on standings):

2226

Oh, wait. Rule 7 again.

2227

Rule 7 only speaks about people on your list.

2228

Woohoo! A Top 20 finish. Me and @Mahaloth tie for 18th.

2230

I had a great year.

2231

I tied with Baker, and had fun!

2232

Top twenty-five. Not too shabby.

2233

Well, I guess you did, since I only got 13 points for a 55-point death. And the ranks should have changed, unless there’s some explanation for how It’s Not Rocket Surgery got those last 45 points.

As I said in my PM to you:

Hi Baker,

At post #2163, the 3 and 4 positions in the rankings looked like this:

3 It’s Not Rocket Surgery 218 6 0
4 RTFirefly 186 5 0

I then reported that I had 55 points for Criscilla Anderson dying at age 45 in early December. (This turned out to be a unique death, since phungi just had her as an alternate.)

At post #2180, the rankings for the 3 and 4 positions were:

3 It’s Not Rocket Surgery 263 7 1
4 RTFirefly 186 5 0

I’m rather perplexed here. AFAICT, it should have looked like this:

3 RTFirefly 241 6 1
4 It’s Not Rocket Surgery 218 6 0

since I got 55 points and the unique death, and there’s no reference to any other deaths for points in between the two scoreboards, so Rocket Surgery’s score should have presumably remained the same.

If I’m in the wrong here, please show me where. But it looks like you accidentally gave my points and unique death to It’s Not Rocket Surgery, only giving them 45 points rather than 55. If INRS really got those 45 points, that’s fine, but who on their list died?

2234

Will edit

2235

Sorry to not be involved in this. I’ve been super busy.

I haven’t checked on my picks this year. I just trust what Baker says my score is. If my score and placement are in error, then by all means correct it. I’m out now but will check my list from last year when i can.

2236

I put quite a bit of effort and axon firing into compiling my list and I finished at #7. My previous high was, I think, in the 50s or 60s.

Thank you, Baker!

mmm

2237

Okay, I did more checking and RTF has 241 points and six picks. Still doesn;t change their rank.

Hey look at that, I’m….uh …I’m there! :blush:

Thanks for tracking things Baker!

2239

I have updated my spreadsheet that has the history of the winners and so forth. Please feel free to let me know if you have any information I missed.

2240

Thsnks for the confidence but I did miss adding one post. Folks should keep an eye on their own lists and I will try to keep up. Please just don’t message me three times in 24 hours right at the end of the game.
