Lemonade Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Because I think it deserves it's own thread. Get your teams in! (I've already noted the ones which were listen in the old thread). Here are the rules:Quote:THE BASICS:Pick 20 different celebrities who are alive, but who, in your opinion, will no longer be with us by 31st December 2010. Celebrities can be of any age, and can be suffering from illness.Nominate one of them as your "joker".For each celeb demise that you guess correctly, you'll score points, and if your joker sadly passes away, your grief will be alleviated by the fact that you'll score double points.The team with the most points at the end of the year will, unsurprisingly, be deemed to be the winner.In the event of a dead heat on points, the winner will be selected according to the following criteria, applied in this order:-The most hits (i.e. correctly-chosen deceased celebs).-The youngest average age of hits.-The most amusing team name.OTHER RULES:All of your chosen celebs must be:-Human.-At least 18 years old at time of selection.-Not on any form of "Death Row" or scheduled for execution.-Actual real-life people, not characters out of soap operas and the like.-All entries must be celebrities. Your Great Aunt Jenny doesn't count-Named individuals, not just "Pope Wotsisface" or "the oldest person in the world".-Players must not murder their chosen celebs. That's cheating, and cheating is wrong. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be disqualified from the game.SCORING:The value of the basic death depends on the person's age:18-29 years: 12 points30-49 years: 10 points50-59 years: 9 points60-69 years: 8 points70-79 years: 7 points80-89 years: 6 points90-99 years: 5 points100-109 years: 4 points110+ years: 3 pointsOn top of this, bonus points are awarded as follows:Unique pick: +3 if you were the only competitor to pick that person.Unlucky 13: +2 for a celeb who dies on the 13th of any month.Unnatural causes: +3 for murder, suicide or accident (but not State executions).Party pooper: +5 for a celeb who dies on their birthday or Xmas Day.Joker: Take the total of all the above and double it.(All times and dates will relate to local time at place of death) Last years top 10 was:1 TigerfromMars 152 Karma Tsunami 153 Surfer Rosa 144 DigitalxVoodoo 135 Alan Cynic 126 Scorge 127 Lucky Rathen 88 Gooch Taylor 79 Scottyboy 710 Murr 7The Dead Pool Class Of 2010 contained, among others, Ronnie James Dio, some guy from Slipknot, Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper, Rue McClanahan, Stuart Cable, Frank Sidebottom, Harvey Pekar, Hurricane Higgins, Lance Cade, Tony Curtis, Norman Wisdom, Solomon Burke, Claire Rayner, Tom Bosley, Ari Up, Gregory Isaacs, Gerard Kelly, Ingrid Pitt, Bernard Matthews, Leslie Neilsen, Irvin Kershner, Captain Beefheart, Teena Marie.Deadline for entires: January 20th.
