Post subject:  Dead Pool 2015
This year we're doing a cross forum dead pool with Walt's new gay forum. You can post your list here or there. All lists will be posted and tracked on each forum.

Lists are due by Dec 31, 2014. Anyone who doesn't play is queer.

Rules are the same as last year.

The Rules:

1. You pick 20 celebrities whom you predict will die within the calendar year 2015. 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, 2014. Post them here in this thread.

3. Valid picks are not:

a. already dead
b. a fictional character
c. under age 18
d. non-human
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 2014, or submit an alternate after the death of the original pick, as long as this is posted by Dec 31, 2014. 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 2015.

The "Final Hours" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the last listed celebrity to die in 2015.

The "Robbing the Cradle" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the youngest celebrity to die in 2015.

Ok, all lists have been compiled, notarized, and enter into the game ledger for 2015. We have 12 participants:

Gam, Hoob, David the Negro, Swordfighter, Ich, VBF, cap, somey, Tit, TG, Walt, and SamH. Think of Walt and SamH like when baseball expanded into Canada. Chances are they're gonna suck for a long time and eventually get relocated. That's already happened to Walt, in fact.

The most common selection is George HW Bush with 8 picks. Valerie Harper and Fidel Castro were each picked 7 times.

Let the game begin, and may death smile upon us all!

Post subject:  Re: Dead Pool 2015
As Hoob pointed out in another thread, Little Jimmy Dickens died today at the age of 94. That's the exact age of celebrity the VBF likes to load his list with, so he netted himself 6 points today. Since we probably won't be able to find out whether he or Donna Douglas died first, VBF gets to share the Opening Kickoff award with Ich, albeit with separate picks. An unusual occurrence, indeed.

Updated Standings
Ich - 19
VBF - 6
Various Stupidheads - 0

We're only 2 days in. Can I ask just what the hell is going on here?
