Woody Allen - 41 points

81 year old actor and director Woody Allen has directed a movie every year for the last 35 years and shows no sign of stopping. He might be old, but if he's still working then he's gonna keep on going... Two of you had this idea.

Maggie Smith - 41 points

Maggie Smith played a 100+ year old in My Old Lady (2014) but the actress is only 82 in real life. Still working always seems like a sign of good health. Two people picked her.

Doyle Brunson - 42 points

The godfather of poker has been around the game forever. He's 83 and still plays cash games regularly but has stopped playing tournaments since the days are too long for him now. Two of you are confident that he'll still be going strong into next year.

Dianne Feinstein - 42 points

Two of you picked this 83 year old incumbent Senior Senator. Still working = good. Not a unique pick = not so good.

Warren Buffett - 43 points

86 year old business man Warren Buffet is quite a bit richer than Michael Bloomberg. It means he's gonna live longer right? Time will tell I guess but 2 of you think so.

Rosalynn Carter - 45 points

Wives always outlive their husbands right? Well if that's true then Jimmy Carter's wife Rosalynn will carry on going for the time being. Three people picked Jimmy, but only two of you thought to pick his 1st lady.

Mel Brooks - 45 points

90 year old actor, comedian, film maker and all round good guy Mel Brooks is up next. Two people think that he'll make it to 91 and beyond.

Dick Van Dyke - 46 points

The 91 year old actor is probably best known for being the costar of Mary Poppins but has acted in many things besides this. Two people are hoping that he will become famous for longevity as well as acting.

George H.W. Bush - 46 points

41st President of the United States of America and oldest living former president at 92 years old was picked by two of you even after his recent health scare. It's a shame such a gamble didn't result in a unique pick.

Doris Day - 46 points

The American actress and singer is most likely 92 years old but some sources say 94 for some reason. Here in POG she is 92 years old and two people are hoping to see her make it to 94 for real in a couple of years time.

Bobby Doerr - 49 points

98 year old former baseball player played for the Red Sox in the 1930s. He's the oldest of only 3 players to have played MLB before the US fought in WWII. Two people selected him.

Olivia de Havilland - 50 points

This 100 year old actress was in Gone With the Wind and played Maid Marion in the 1938 version of Robin Hood. The above picture was taken on her 100th birthday, but I don't think she looks a day over 85. Two people have faith in our first revealed centurion.

So here endeth the people picked by multiple contestants and here endeth the reveal for tonight.

Every reveal beyond this point is a unique reveal and will score at least 50 points. Now everybody can work out their own potential score, but not the potential scores of others contestants.

I'll post a few "so far" stats to end tonight and pick this up again tomorrow. Would like to do more now, but I'm tired and have work in the morning.

Felt good about Bobby Doerr acing :/

Enjoyable thus far. Looking forward to the continuation, although I'm guessing there are people who are going to smoke me by several hundred points in available value & I can't root for thaaaaat many people to die...

This reveal has opened my eyes to a new perspective on this game.

Deathpool i only root for my own picks to die. Don't care about the rest.

Lifepool was billed as a positive game, root for my own picks to live...

with 20 contestants, i find that instead of rooting for my 10 to live, my path to victory probably requires a good number of the 190 other picks to die (maybe a few less due to duplicates).

TLDR: Deathpool, only root for 10 people to die. Lifepool, root for 190 people to die. Is this really a more positive game?

you need to pick the oldest people and then you can root for everyone to survive...
