Lemonade Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just read the rules again. First it says that they can be any age then it says further down they must be at least 18 years old.Lucky, do your job we need an official decision on the rules.I really want him dead though!I was gonna say, "just think of the points for his age and a unique pick" but I just noticed he's on Bux's list too.Great minds, blah, blah, blah.Let's just pretend he's 18 for the sake of making my life easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I propose the following amendments to the official rules. Who seconds the motion?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. - this rule to be removed-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:0-29 years: 12 points - changed from 18 to 030-49 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Does that mean you could theoretically add pregnant celebrities miscarrying to your roster?Also, if your celebrity is pregnant and dies with child, do you get bonus point for a 2-for-1?xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I agree with Lucky's rule amendment...but would still like the first person to pick a particular celeb given a few more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
