Put your lists here.
Lists are due by Dec 31, 2012. 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 2013. 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, 2012. Post them here in this thread.
3. Valid picks are not:
a. already dead b. a fictional character c. non-human d. 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 2012, or submit an alternate after the death of the original pick, as long as this is posted by Dec 31, 2012. 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 2013.
The "Final Hours" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the last listed celebrity to die in 2013.
The "Robbing the Cradle" Award: awarded to the poster or posters who pick the youngest celebrity to die in 2013.
