Controversial question- how long do you keep a dead player on Fargo?

[Twocylndr]

I don’t think I’m the only one…anybody who is no longer living who are listed in my phone records will remain there till I croak.
I honor the dead.

Me to sorta...I just haven't taken the time to remove them

i must admit, i got sad checking the fargo top 100 last week. but there's another way to look at it of course, and that is to say look how good this guy was. JLC was a top 10 fargo player for as long as i've known about fargo, maybe since it's existence?

Yeah, but i'm happy to see his name up there when i check the T100. Loved watching him play, especially the mixed dubs events with Rita Chou.

Same. Still have the last text thread with my late uncle.

I think people were getting their social security checks even though they were 350 years old and mail in ballots after they had been dead for years .. nothing to see here, please move on

Yep, I agree. I even call some of them from time to time just to be sure.

Yes, exactly. Turns out Chang (and Mika…) are already marked as deceased in our system. That means they are intended to be excluded from the top player lists. And they are in fact excluded with the lists the way most people access them—through the mobile APP.

There are also lists accessed from the website through which we recently learned deceased players are not excluded. That is our error, and we are working on fixing it.

Thanks Mike. It's not as if we'll ever forget our beloved deceased players, but the rankings are for the living.

With an active list..they should be removed if it's well documented...It's current data. People who have passed are not active or playing should not be reporting on a active data collection list..sorry..

A few years ago a friend of mine died.
I got a birthday greeting from her from LinkedIN then later a "congratulate her for a k-th year at CompanyX"
I tried to tell them that she had died, when, where, and cause.
They responded that they needed response from HER in order to quit sending greetings.....

Go figure !!

But that is the insanity of computers.....

Insanely Immaculate Nonsanity.
