One more observation. If there is an error in your list, say, you are one name short, or someone on the list has died and you posted no alternates, I’ll post about it once in this thread, and send one PM. After that I won’t nag, and it will be up to the player to be sure their list is correct.
The least you could have done is put them in spectrum order. 
Started out that way… I still don’t know where Brown, Tan, Silver go.
George H.W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Jimmy Carter…where’s Rosalynn? It’s not like she’s a spring chicken either. It’s not like she just barely missed the top 12, either - I think she’s only on 2 lists.
With an attitude like that, you’ll soon find your thirteenth, if it’s the last thing you do.
How often does rule 8a. Come into effect?
Just now saw this.
:mad:
Don’t be mad. Just say GMTA and sit back.
Your list wasn’t a copy though, the only one you have in common is Betty White. And two other people have her, for a total of four.
Unless I have made a mistake Rosalynn Carter is on only one list as a primary pick.
Dead Letters, Chapter II. Same authored themed list from last year with my one dead person changed.

Chuck Palahniuk
Orson Scott Card
Günter Grass

To be frank, and with no disrespect meant to Texcat, I’m upset someone else had the same color theme idea.
That’s the reason for my :mad: ness.
But as a heads up to you, Baker my 2015 list is more wordplay based, and may or may not be headache inducing. As I had my 14 and my 15 year lists together, I looked over my 15, it needs more revision, the theme is very loose at this point.
I made my first list to play in 2010.
That makes 5 years?!
I had no idea I was that morbid.
Thanks for those links. I’m going to assume the players who selected them had thier spelling correct, and did not add or subtract a “t” somewhere.
I’m very new to this so ill do my best

Where’s the love for William Katt?
I’m sure you’re right; I too have been tallying how many lists a name shows up on, but I haven’t been distinguishing between primary and alternate picks. It’s more along the lines of, if Michael Douglas pops up on four different lists so far, I’d take a minute to Google him just to make sure he isn’t this year’s Hugo Chavez.
We’re honored to have your first post be in the Death Pool. Could I ask a favor? Could you please check out the OP, about formatting your list?
I didn’t do too well in 2013. My list was full of stubborn bastards. Only Annette had the courtesy to shuffle off her mortal coil. So I’m changing a few names this year.

Let’s see how many are still standing this time next year!
When it comes to Googling, I’d check out news reports on the funeral of Nelson Mandela. With so many heads of state attending, the logistics of security will be a nightmare. I just saw a news report and several names are current picks for 2014.
