JohnT, you have sixteen in your list. It’s supposed to be thirteen. Until I hear from you I’m going to keep your list as it was in post # 114. Please, again, re-read Rule #1 and Rule #8 in the OP.
If that happens, we shall petition the Deathmistress to invent a new award for you, for most premature something-or-the-other.
All right, my bad. :smack:
Drop the bottom 3.
That would be me.
I had Prince Johan Friso as an alternate this year.
He was worth a lot of points, too. And would have been a unique pick.
In my first year of Death Pool, I had two on my list shuffle off this mortal coil.
I’m doing infinitely worse this year.
ETA: And I should get you my list of 2015 survivors before this weekend is over. I just got to find time to sit down and research who really wants to live next year.
C’mon, folks, give your DeathMistress a Christmas present. Post your lists before 12/31!
I’m waiting for some insurance payments to come in. The insured are placed of my death list and given immortality.
I will, but I have such a gimme in my list, I’m going to wait because I want the unique pick.

Oh OK Baker, here you go. I don’t know what I was waiting for anyhow, since none of my choices ever dies anyhow. I thought until a minute ago I might have a unique pick with Jerry Lee Lewis but no. Well, I really don’t want him to die anyhow as I am a fan.

Well you almost had that unique pick. I was putting in Jerry Lewis when I thought, hay, Jerry LEE Lewis. I thought old sports figures might be the way to go for unique.
I thought of getting in one of these pools in the past but it always got put off until too late. Looking at some of these lists I think some of them are more like wish lists.
Almost the same as last year.

I wouldn’t say I was complaining about it - fair’s fair, after all - but one of my alternates bit the dust this year, while all my 13 names that count are still alive and in no immediate danger.
Lesson learned: the life-saving powers of my list only extend to the 13 names that count. Alternates that aren’t promoted to that list do not receive any such protection. 
Former Prez GHW Bush is in the hospital.
First time for me. Here it is.

Cold Dish, that’s too many names. Until I hear back, I’ll use the first thirteen on the list. You pick thirteen names, plus as many alternates as you care to.
If the docs can keep him alive for another eight days, I can ensure his survival for 2015.
