Celebrity Dead Pool 2014


Lemonade

Recommended Posts

I've been a similarly ghoulish bastard, but how else is one to compete with Bigsby? :D Managed to restrain myself from a tempting but thoroughly nasty joker choice. I do think one would struggle to fill a team with far-along, terminally-ill choices, or otherwise following the tips Ca-gere put in the other thread though; seems to be the same names that crop up in dying/ill celebrity articles and other death pool/race/list sites. I think you'd have to go deeper and specialise in country singers (?; Bigsby) or Asian politicians (me...); I have also gone back to making up the numbers with longer shot punts on various dictators. Also left in Ieng Thirith (don't think anyone will copy her...) despite, in her case, being possibly being inclined to agree with the charges of obscurity of I sometimes receive.

What is Lucky Rathen's status this year? I move for him to be excluded from placing a team if he's taking in all the entries due to him having an exclusive look at all the teams which could potentially give him an unfair advantage (if he was shady he could half inch a good chunk of Bisgby's dead certs and some other likely suspects and have a good shot at winning).

Bigsby sent me his list first. I replied with my list.

Also I did made that clear in the second post... do all you people have me on your ignore lists or something?

 

That must've got lost in the YoungA not understanding the concept of the game debacle, apologies. I still think it's a little shady though.

So you saw Bigsby's list before then doing yours?

 

Does that not defeat the whole purpose of keeping the lists secret in the first place?

 

 

Maybe the two of you need to not take a silly game about predicting celebrities deaths quite so seriously....

 

I sent my list to Bigsby last night at 6pm. At that point the only entries I'd received were Jaseyboi, Bisgby and MattJimF, none of which I'd given more than a cursory glance. This doesn't give me any more of an advantage than looking up last year's thread and seeing who everyone picked then. Also I'd actually written mine in the morning, before I even got Bigsby and Matt's messages.

Are you telling me the death of celebrities isn't serious?

 

I'll just have to take your word for it that only 3 had put their lists in, there's still trust points in the Rathen account so you get the benefit of the doubt this time.

 

It's almost like having a player-referee in a football match though.

There are still a few crossovers, I guess that's inevitable, but at least its not just down to lazy copying this year. A few corkers of off the wall picks. I've laughed out loud a few times.
