Are you suggesting he's killing them himself? This would be his 7th hit of the year.

Of course I’m not suggesting anything…but maybe entering some rules might be a good plan, eh. Just in case. Optionally, he might be God or the grim reaper, and either of them should be disqualified.

As it is, I guess it’s time to start reading the tabloids for D list star who are doing poorly for 2022.

The rule is pretty clear. If you're found to have killed your own picks yourself, you get disqualified for life (yours, not your Dead Pool team, that is). There's no exemption for supernatural entities, but they might be hard to build an evidentiary case against.

I did suggest it should be expanded to if you're killing ANY dead pool contestants, just because there's some marginal loophole where can be in your interests to kill someone else's picks before they accrue end-of-year bonuses, but the powers of Dead Pool left that one wide open for anyone to exploit. If there's a rash of suspicious deaths of terminally ill dead pool picks on November 30th, don't say I didn't warn you.

Week 34 update

One death this week, former New Zealand politician Michael Cullen: NZ Labour giant Michael Cullen dies | Daily Mail Online

Quote

Sir Michael Cullen, Helen Clark's deputy prime minister and the father of New Zealand superannuation, has died aged 76.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern fought back tears as she remembered Sir Michael on Friday, saying he was "one of the most influential figures in New Zealand politics over the last 40 years".

"Intelligent, funny and kind, he left a significant legacy for the country," she said.

"He fought for social justice at every turn ... New Zealand is so much the richer, in every sense of the word, for Michael's life."

Sir Michael is a genuine giant of the New Zealand Labour party, serving in parliament for 28 years and taking ministries in two governments.

It's interesting to read about the death of a notable politician with coverage that's universally complimentary. 

Cullen died at 76, so he's worth 49 Base Points. @Ned Nederlander gets a Deadly Duo bonus for 74 points, while @expatowner1 gets a Captain bonus on top of that for a total of 123 points.
