Okay, here's rules (stolen from another site): The Rules: 1. You pick 20 celebrities whom you predict will die within the calendar year 2011. If any of your celebrities dies, you score 100 points minus their age at death. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins the undying admiration of the forum. 2. All picks must be in by midnight Dec. 31st, 2010. Post them here in this thread. 3. Valid picks are not: a. already dead b. a fictional character c. non-human d. under age 18 at death e. a registered member of the forum, because that would be weird 4. You can pick people who are 100 or more years old but you won't score points for them. See the "Quantity Not Quality" award, below. 5. If we are uncertain about the celebrity's age at death, we will go by the higher age (lower score). 6. Your picks must specify a name: listing "anybody from [the cast of your most hated TV show or boy band]" as a pick will be ignored. 7. Persons under sentence of death will be valid for scoring points only if they die by means other than official execution. 8. Any poster who kills or otherwise contributes to the death of any celebrity mentioned in this thread is disqualified. It's just a game, people. 9. You can make changes to your list before the end of the year, but it has to be clear which names are your final choices. You may submit one or more "alternates" with your list in the event that one of your picks dies during December 2010, or submit an alternate after the death of the original pick, as long as this is posted by Dec 31, 2010. If you do not submit a name, I will submit the rest. You can have no more than 20 picks. If you pick more than 20, or if any of your picks is otherwise invalid, I may ask for clarification. Otherwise, I will submit the first 20 names on your list. Do me a favor: check twice, post once. We have no rule about submissions having to be unique, despite claims of "copying" anyone else's list. We will just turn up our noses at you if you do this. Sharing news of celebrities in ill health and whatnot is up to individual posters. We have no rule about what constitutes "celebrity," because it makes our heads hurt to think about this. Some celebrities have common, identical or similar names. It is helpful to be specific. Additional awards: The "Quantity Not Quality" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the greatest number of celebrities who died, regardless of their actual point value. The "Inside Track With the Grim Reaper" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who had the most unique picks that died. The "Opening Kickoff" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the first listed celebrity to die in 2011. The "Final Hours" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the last listed celebrity to die in 2011. The "Robbing the Cradle" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the youngest celebrity to die in 2011, but see rule 3.d. Have fun, sickos. |

Oh, and you can do more than one list if you like, but there can't be any overlap. Some people like to do a hate list featuring people who probably won't die, but you'd like to see die. Just specify if you want to do one of these. |

He does do a lot of traveling. I can't think of anyone under 18 I'd put on my list, I just think it's a weird rule. |

I claimed Michael Douglas first, actually. Doesn't matter though, the lists don't have to be unique. |
Author: | Sweet Greggo [ Mon Dec 27, 2010 11:01 pm ] |
Post subject: | Re: Dead Pool |
Having unique lists would require a draft rather than first come first serve. I don't mind it this way. Otherwise, I would have started throwing out names the first day. I started a memo on my phone the first day with a few names and added them as I thought about it. Tonight I only had to come up with the final 8 names or so. If we were doing unique names then Ich would be the one making changes cos I already had all of those. Pat Summerall was the only one I stole. And Aretha. |

Post subject: | Re: Dead Pool |
Doesn't have to be unique because we're deducting the age of the stiff from 100 for the score. If we both have the same name, it only means we're a wash as afar as the score goes. |
