No, it makes it more difficult for me when I do one of my periodic updates, I simply go through the lists and see who's dead/alive. I haven't got the time or inclination to see if they were claimed or not.

No, I don't think so. Who cares if my great aunt Ethel croaks it? Nobody except me. The point of the deathlist is picking people that are relatively well known. Some of the lists are full of nobodies. You didn't pick Gerald Wilson because he was a well known person who may or may not die, you picked him because he was 96. You got away with selecting him because he was, at best, known within 1940s jazz circles. I also disapprove of people scouring reports for celebs with cancer to select. Where's the fun in that?
Surely, that's harder than simply going through the thread picking out the successful death predictors? The claimee should link to proof like Macky did. Job done.
Anyway, why am I even arguing about this?

Right, and in exactly the same sense, who the **** cares if Brian Blessed croaks it? Nobody, except for his family and friends.
How would you define "relatively well known"? It's incredibly subjective, which is why Wikipedia is used as the arbiter of who is allowed to be included.
All of the lists are full of people that have a Wikipedia page.
**** me, you're smart. Not much gets past you, huh? D'ya reckon anybody else has copped that as well? Try not to mention it if you can, I don't think they've sussed me yet.
No, I "got away with selecting him" because he has a Wikipedia page.
Yeah, how very dare people attempt any type of strategy at all to try to win? We're only supposed to be ghoulishly selecting people who might die, nothing more.
To be honest, I could imagine you arguing with your own shadow

Exactly. This is a bit of fun where we enthusiastically celebrate the deaths of people we don't know because it helps us win a guessing game with no prize. Thanks for making it seem dirty, BN.

I find the whole concept of this "bit of fun" totally disgusting.

Here's one for you. I don't think it can compete with Macky's dead horse though.
Great tits those.

The original "It's My Party...." girl Lesley Gore has died.

It always amused when she sang "Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone".
...in a childish kind of way.
