h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ooooh, checking Dai's list we missed one of his picks - Tony Martin, who dies in July of 2012!

Dont think it's enough to change the leaderboard though.

And he says that since he's not really active on hootoo any more it wouldn't seem right to continue, but wishes you all a Happy and Healthy 2013!

I'm 'not really active on hootoo' either, but it doesn't stop me.

hmmm, Spiller is not active on h2g2 either and he only wants to be involved in the Deathlist, is that ok?

there might also be the occasional question on SEx

I wouldn't like to suggest there's a hard and fast rule - it's up to the individual.

Dai hasn't posted anything or even logged on in over a year, and feels personally that it's an appropriate time for him to bow out of this particular arena.

I'm sure we welcome all contributors, new and old, active and less active.

<> no problem Peanut! All are welcome, whether active on h2g2 or not. I'll go tweak the scoreboard,

No notable deaths overnight, so yay, my best year ever. May I express my thanks to the Mexican Marines and Law enforcement for the removal of my under 50 from the list.

Here's to a new year, a new list - and probably back to my low scores)

CHawke

Congrats, C Hawke

New game: A87781972
Scoreboard: A87781963
please could everyone read through your own list and let me know of any errors.

Congrats to C Hawke!

Galaxy Babe, thanks for putting the time and effort into this.

Thanks

Yes very well corralled and organised GB!

And congrats C Hawke

Indeed - well done both

Indeed - many thanks to GB for getting the list up so quickly - interesting reading - no-ones gone for LiLo as their under 50 despite the fact she is 27 this year. I excluded her as I didn't want to give the kudos that is associated with the 27 club.

Lady Gaga joins the 27 club this year, that's why I put her in.

Well done and thank you GB

Monty Hall is on my 2013 list, but I'm also predicting there's a 2-in-3 chance that they'll put him in the wrong box.

B

I just want to congratulate C Hawke for winning, Galaxy Babe for organising and My Beta for throwing rocks from afar.*

I've never played this game myself, but I have the greatest admiration for those that do. These threads are usually my first port of call when I hear of the passing of a celebrity.

* Terry Pratchett was credited with "throwing rocks from afar" in the instruction books for the Discworld computer games. It seems even more appropriate for MB.
