Deathlist 2010...
Icy North Posted Dec 22, 2009
It's understandable that someone who has been through the emotional turmoil of a near-death experience, or who has lost close friends might feel this way about this game.
I'm sorry, guess. I hope you're feeling fitter and enjoying h2g2. This game is of course seen by some as being in bad taste - I'm not entirely comfortable with it, myself - but if you subscribe to the listed and unlisted deaths threads, you'll see that many of us play this in order to remember people's lives, and regret their passing. Sadly, death comes to all of us one day.
As I am, so shall ye be.

I don't believe guess has issues with our Deathlist Game or with the rest of us. Any issues appear to be personal with Mu Beta. If you two want to meet in the playground, let us know where and when. I'll be there selling tickets I need the
My mum died earlier this year, 8 March. I quietly grieved and got on with keeping the Deathlist pages updated when I felt I was able to. In September, I grieved again when I had to have my 15 1/2 year old dog put down. I doubt if any of our lives are perfect and carefree throughout the year. Guess does not have the monopolly on that.

yeah, but, come on GB, if we're going to have celebrity status, we want their money too well, at least I do.

My list should be with you soonish Emilly (if I can find the piece of paper it's written on.)
I don't play this game through malice, if anything it is the opposite. My metaphor would be betting on England to lose at football. If England win I'm happy but if they lose I make a little money to sweeten the blow. Other people's picks and the posts in the unofficial thread allow me to read about some amazing lives that I wouldn't otherwise hear about.

Well said, van.
I think I just need to pick a single substitute and resub last year's list but I'll check ...

Sorry Emmily. That's what you get what you've already started conditioning yourself to write 2010 as the date.

No worries The Groob, it's easily done. I'm surprised I haven't done it myself yet.
Mol, received your list

17 players so far.
I've got a bit of time to spare, so I'll work out how many nominees and get back to you when I have that result.

Unfortunately, Fluffy won't get any 'unique choice' bonus points for including me on her deathlist. I'm already on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's and Ayatolla Khamenei's. General Thein Sein of Myanmar would probably be happy to see my demise too.
