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.
