Celebrity Death Pool 2010

[Daghain]

This is pretty much a c&p from last year's thread - rules are the same:

The rules:

1. Each entrant will make a list of 19 celebrities they think will pass in the year from July 9, 2010 - July 9, 2011.

To be included, all lists should be pm'd to me by 9:00 PM MST Wednesday July 7, 2010.

2. Points will be awarded on a pro-rated system based on the age of the deceased as follows:

80+ years old - 1 point
70-79 - 2 points
60-69 - 3 points
50-59 - 4 points
40-49 - 5 points
30-39 - 6 points
20-29 - 7 points
19 or below - 10 points

3. Highest point total at 9:00 pm MST July 9, 2011 is declared the winner.

That's it.

It's that simple.

After the deadline I will post everyone's lists in one post for our convenience to check back as need be as we progress.

I feel I must say to anyone who finds this game offensive, it is not our intention to offend anyone or make light of tragedies. However, death is reality. Celebrities are going to die and we are going to wind up talking about it and quite likely even making light of some it, so we may as well make a game of it.

Sometimes dealing with it like this makes it easier. Or perhaps we are just terrible people. Regardless, this is all intended to be in good (albeit morbid) fun.

Best of luck and get those lists going.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or post them here. I will answer them all as quickly as possible.

Oh yeah!

I already have a list prepped at work. I'm PM it to you tomorrow, Dags!

Thanks !

I feel I must say to anyone who find this game offensive, it is not our intention to offend anyone or make light of tragedies. However, death is reality. Celebrities are going to die and we are going to wind up talking about it and quite likely even making light of some it, so we may as well make a game of it.

Sometimes dealing with it like this makes it easier. Or perhaps we are just terrible people. Regardless, this is all intended to be in good (albeit morbid) fun.

Well said, Daggers.

[Daghain]

I'd like to take credit, but that's actually a c&p from jayson's original death pool post.

Truly, it was. That's why I c&p'd it. I had nothing better.

ETA: I really need to work on my list. I have NO idea who I want this year (although I still think Amy Winehouse is destined to die).

[turtlex]

PM on the way.

[Odetta]

done

you know she was on my list last year and the bitch just refused to die

Spoiler:

no matter how hard i tightened the belt

seriously, she is actually looking quite good these days and i am so loathe to say that, but give the girl her due.

thinking and pm'ing soon as i have a busy few days and wont get on line till next thursday so will mss you cut off

[Daghain]

I can't wait to show you guys the lists for this year. So far every single one of you has at least one person on there where I said "WTF?"

[gsvec]

PM sent!

[Daghain]

Bumpity bumpity bump bump bump! Just a couple more days for submissions, people!

Lots of good lists so far!

[Daghain]

BUMP!

You have about, oh, 9 hours to get your lists in, if you haven't already!

[Brice]

Can you maybe extend through the weekend? Or at least till tomorrow afternoon? Please?

[LadyHitchhiker]

I don't know. I guess Lindsay Lohan...

[Brice]

One can only hope.

[Daghain]

I'll give you 24 more hours. 9pm MST on Thursday, July 8.

[Brice]

Thank you!

[Daghain]

You're welcome!

[Brice]

Anyone care to bet that the PM Daggers got from me was the most original submission here?

[gsvec]

For some reason, Brice, I have no doubt!

[Brice]

[Daghain]

It's ON!

Lists have been posted in the first post in this thread. Point totals will be kept there going forward. If you PM'ed me a list BEFORE the cutoff and I did NOT post it in the first post, please PM me and I'll go back and add it. I've saved all my PM's just in case I missed one transferring it to here, so I'll know if you're lying to me.

I'd wish everyone good luck, but...yeah.

[Jean]

Fidel Castro can never die... he is one of the undead.

[Woofer]

Oops, totally missed this. Good luck, everyone!
