Game On!

[RBP]

All the LiLo selections will cancel each other out. :lol:

I don't know celebrities very well, but I'd give it a shot.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

LiLo is not kicking it next year :hand:

[Hal-9000]

LiLo is not kicking it until next year :hand:


:thumbsup:

[deebakes]

i'd be in :shrug:

[KevinD]

I'll give it a whirl, but have to think about it for a bit to come up with 15 of 'em.

[Leefro]

You can not have Liam Neeson Clint Eastwood or Jim Carrey

[KevinD]

Sez who? How's this work? If someone else already gas the celeb, you can't have them too?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

i'd be in :shrug:

:cheers:

Yes you can


Sez who? How's this work? If someone else already gas the celeb, you can't have them too?

You can pick any celebs you want, even if someone else already picked them

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'll give it a whirl, but have to think about it for a bit to come up with 15 of 'em.

We can lower it to 10....I just thought 15 would give everyone a better chance of scoring points

[KevinD]

Don't have to for me, I'll just be thinking of who I want to select..

Obviously my joke was a little bit cleverer than I thought

For it to be a joke, it would have had to be funny ;)

[Leefro]

True enough :(

Comics say jokes that are not that funny 99% of the time ;)


Ohh btw count me in :tup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

So....tentatively then (so far...guessing from the posts in the thread):

Myself
Hal
RBP
Kevin
Lee
Dee

Is that correct or not? :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

Man. I wonder if anyone else realizes how fucked up that is, given the topic.

[Noilly Pratt]

OK - count me in as well. No idea who I'd put on the list but hey. Time to research celebs with risky hobbies...

[Hal-9000]

I won't be a part of a celeb death bet ffs :lol:



unless I can pick LiHo for all 15 spots :dance:

[minz]

You people are so morbid at times. :shock:

So how does this work... where do we maintain our lists, when do we submit them, who's keeping score, does it last all year, can we add names when someone on out list dies.....

I want answers dammit! :x

You ask too many question nap man.

Inquiring minds want to know!

[Leefro]

I remember the post your own albums on AS so we could always pin our choices on the front page

[Lambchop]

So we're going to play a game where you're rewarded by guessing when another person dies?










Count me in :mrgreen:

Lindsay Lohan - 31st of December 2012/1st of January 2013.

Cause of death? Cocaine and clown semen.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It's not that difficult :facepalm:

Here's how it will go:

A) Pick 15 celebrities that you think will kick the bucket next year - scoring is based on the age of the celebrity. It starts with 100 and then you subtract the celebrity's age. For example, you choose a celebrity that does in fact die next year and that celeb is 85 years old, the score would be 15 points (100-85=15). But, if you correctly take a gamble and pick a younger one, and that celeb happens to be 24 when they die next year, the score would be 76 (100-24=76). The younger your correct pick, the more points. You don't need to predict date of death, just who you think will in fact die next year.

B) The lists need to be made before December 31st and then PM'ed to me. I will start a new thread and then put everyone's picks in that thread so everyone can see everyone's picks and everyone's scores. I will keep score and update that first post as the year goes along.

C) You don't replace someone if somebody on your list dies. Your list of 15 is finalized as soon as you PM it to me. It can be changed prior to December 31st if you PM me about it, but once the calendar changes to January 1st, 2013, all lists are final.

D) The winner will be the one who scored the most points as of the end of the year. In the event of a tie, the win will go to the one that correctly picked the biggest risk (the youngest celeb to have died).

And so far we have the following people in as far as I can tell:

Myself
RBP
Kevin
Lee
Dee
Noilly
Lamby

Anyone can play...just come up with your list and PM it to me :)

[Muddy]

Whats the prize?

[DemonGeminiX]

Whats the prize?

You get to skullfuck Amy Winehouse's corpse.

:tup:

[Muddy]

Well thats no fun.. :(

[DemonGeminiX]

Well thats no fun.. :(

:-k

You want someone to wiggle her for you? At least try and make it seem like she's trying to get away?

[deebakes]

You people are so morbid at times. :shock:

just at times? :dance:

[RBP]

So I think I have my list... I was at 18 but cut 3 back :-k

Do people have strategies on this? I was thinking like half old and half young...

[Leefro]

I have a strategy

Don't pick anyone who's already dead

[RBP]

I have a strategy

Don't pick anyone who's already dead

I googled them all... so far so good. :lol:

[Leefro]

You get to skullfuck Amy Winehouse's corpse.

:tup:

Already done that

What's the second prize ?

[DemonGeminiX]

Already done that

What's the second prize ?

You get assfucked by Michael Jackson's corpse.

:tup:

[Leefro]

Shit I will have to scrub him from my list :(

[deebakes]

Already done that

What's the second prize ?

Anybody want to see second prize? ... Second prize is a set of steak knives...

[KevinD]

I'm still compiling my list. Trying to come up with ages of them all

[DemonGeminiX]

How are we defining celebs?

Do politicians/ex-politicians and royalty count? You know, Jimmy Carter and HW are both getting a little long in the tooth. Prince Phillip, too. Do assassinations count? Obama avoided any attempts on his life in his first term, but given the crap that may occur come next year, ya never know... (Don't be concerned if I disappear for a long time, it was just the secret service coming to take me away...). Surely the Syrian and/or Egyptian Presidents have pissed off their people enough for somebody to want to take a shot at them.

How about famous scientists? Stephen Hawking seems like a good bet.

What about incarcerated celebs? OJ might get shanked in prison, ya know.

Can we count religious figures?

It seems Lindsay Lohan would be the obvious choice, but for some odd reason, I'm thinking she's gonna be her generation's Keith Richards.

I think I'll make a list a little closer to January, if I remember. I'd hate to come up with a list and some of the entrants buy the farm before the new year comes around. I just want to be sure that the one's I'm thinking of all make it to 2013. :d

Of course, if it comes to pass that we all bite the bullet on December 21st, well then, there ya go...

:P

[DemonGeminiX]

Oh wait, Lindsay will turn 27 next year... the 27 club... hmmm...

:-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

How are we defining celebs?

Any reasonably well known public figure. Politicians, famous scientists, movie actors/actresses, reality TV stars, etc, and the like are all fair game.

[RBP]

I have my 15... afraid to change it now. :-k

[KevinD]

Still working on narrowing it down. We have until the 31st, correct?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yes, the sooner the better, but the deadline is the 31st.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

And here is some news about a prize for the winner...RBP generously offered to sponsor a $25 gift card from Amazon and I told him that I will match it, so the winner of the 1st Annual Teh Basement Celebrity Death Pool will get a $50 gift card from Amazon.

Thanks to RBP for the generous offer :thumbsup:

You can change your list up until the lock-in date of December 31st. So if you submit your list and someone on it dies before Dec 31st, you can substitute someone else in.

[Oofty Goofty]

So the "death dates" have to be between January 1st and December 31st 2013 - If a celebrity on someone's submitted list dies prior to January 1st, the death doesn't count, and a substitution must be made?

Abe Vigoda's immortal... or so I've read.

[Griffin]

sounds fishy to me

[RBP]

I went with a mixed bag... about half are young, a few sickly upper middle, and the rest could kick any day now.

Need those big points to win! But I guess if you pick a few 90+ they could add up.

I wasn't sure what strategy to use. :dunno:

is adam sandler in that one? :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

I suppose it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to pick anyone over the age of 100, since we have to subtract their ages from 100 to begin with.

[Griffin]

well then you would be going with a positive negative.

[deebakes]

i've never compiled a list like this before, so i bet i will finish in the bottom :lol:

Nope - right there with you. Learnt how to play the bass by copying the Barney Miller theme song.

Whatever happened to Wojciehowicz? Dietrich?

[Hugh_Janus]

i've never compiled a list like this before, so i bet i will finish in the bottom :lol:

always the best place to finish :giggity:

Shit this aint easy. You can either go for some sure to die older folks and get almost guaranteed points or gamble on some younger ones.

[Oofty Goofty]

Shit this aint easy. You can either go for some sure to die older folks and get almost guaranteed points or gamble on some younger ones.

My thoughts exactly! You can pick all 90 year olds and get an almost guaranteed 150 points, or gamble on someone young who's hellbent on self destruction like Amy Winehouse for bonus.

[deebakes]

i think she already died :-k

[Oofty Goofty]

i think she already died :-k

Allow me to direct you to the word "like" in my previous post.

Therein lies the challenge...

I felt a twinge of feeling very crappy about myself when I heard on the news that Mandela was in the hospital - I had no idea he was sick, but part of my brain said "ohboy! He's on my list!!"

Thanks Lance...thought I was participating in a fun game...I'm going straight to hell, do not pass Go... :D

[RBP]

Hmmm a week left. I have a feeling that many of our choices are going to overlap. :-k

To make changes or to not make changes. hmmm.

[Muddy]

Has anybody logged any points?

[redred]

it starts on the 1st

[Leefro]

Hope nobody had Jack Klugman

[Noilly Pratt]

Hope nobody had Jack Klugman

:facepalm::rip: I feel like a frickin' ghoul. I did.

So, I'll change that one to be Courtney Love and it will be a boating accident and they'll never recover her body. In later years she'll be found in Mexico with a flourishing e-bay business, having faked her disappearance.

[DemonGeminiX]

Charles Durning died today as well.

:rip:

[DemonGeminiX]

Alright. I got my list in.

:lol:

I am looking forward to seeing the lists posted. Should be interesting.

What was your strategy?

[DemonGeminiX]

I am looking forward to seeing the lists posted. Should be interesting.

What was your strategy?

I really didn't have a strategy. I looked at some people that I knew were sick and/or old and figured in a few who were on a path of self-destruction or were likely to be assassinated by their own people, or via targeting by outside forces. I just figuratively pulled them out of a hat.

:lol:

Interesting. I didn't go after the potential political deaths. :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

I had a few on there originally that I took off for various reasons. I'm keeping them as alternates in case somebody on my list kicks the bucket before the 1st. And there were those I took off the list like Honey Boo Boo. That was just wishful thinking.

No kids allowed :nono:

Yeah I had a few too many and deleted some off... I didn't keep the list of alternates because if one of them died I'd be pissed I deleted them. Like Demi Lovato.

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

You're right. I should put her mother down as an alternate.

I'm kidding. I've got a ton of alternates that are actually likely to die for various reasons.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Just a note....running out of time to get your lists to me. So far the only ones I have received are Noilly's, RBP's, and DGX's.

[DemonGeminiX]

George HW Bush is still in the hospital with a fever. A news report earlier this afternoon said it was getting better but breaking news just said his fever got worse.

His dad was probably more famous as the Lindbergh kidnapping investigator.

His dad was probably more famous as the Lindbergh kidnapping investigator.

:-k I did not know that. Is he dead too?

Since the kidnapping was over 80 years ago, I would say yes.

Lance,

Are you going to use UTC time for the time zone to determine when January 1st begins? That seven hour difference between UTC and Mountain time may make a difference on one of my choices.

Lance,

Are you going to use UTC time for the time zone to determine when January 1st begins? That seven hour difference between UTC and Mountain time may make a difference on one of my choices.

I will use GMT to make it easy and universal.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Just a reminder, I need your lists PM'ed to me in the next 10-1/2 hours. I will post everyone's lists when I get to work on Wednesday as I don't think I will be on tomorrow.

A lot of these lists overlap. This is going to get interesting and heated.

You could be hiding your ability to cause people to die by wishing their deaths from public scrutiny.

If people on your list start dying inexplicable deaths and I'm on the bottom of that list...

I will keep everyone on my list on deaths door then cut the string

Film director and newspaper columnist Michael Winner has died, aged 77, his wife Geraldine has confirmed.

Born in Hampstead, London in 1935, he directed more than 30 films, including Death Wish and Scorpio.

He was also famous for his barbed restaurant reviews, written for The Sunday Times under the banner "Winner's Dinners".

Winner had been ill for some time. Last summer, he said liver specialists had given him 18 months to live.

Paying tribute to her husband, Mrs Winner said: "Michael was a wonderful man, brilliant, funny and generous.

"A light has gone out in my life."
Ill health

Winner was born to to Jewish expatriate parents in London. His mother was Polish and his father Russian.

He attended St Christopher's School in Letchworth and went on to study law and economics at Cambridge University.

According to his official website, he was, at 17, the youngest student there and graduated aged 20.

He was enamoured with the film industry, and would often blag his way onto film sets and interviews. This led to work as a journalist and film critic, before he joined Motion Pictures Limited as a writer and editor in 1956.

By 1962, he had directed his first movie, Play it Cool, a pop musical starring Billy Fury.

With his own film company, Scimitar, established in the mid-60s, he made a number of satirical films starring Oliver Reed, including The System and I'll Never Forget What's 'Is Name.

But he became more well-known for his action films, especially the violent Death Wish series, starring Charles Bronson as an architect who turns vigilante after his wife and daughter are murdered.

In later years, Winner also directed a series of commercials for an insurance company featuring the catchphrase: "Calm down dear!"

For his entry in the 2012 edition of Who's Who, the director listed his interests as "eating, being difficult, making table mats, washing silk shirts" and "doing Pilates badly".

He had experienced a run of ill-health since eating a bad oyster on holiday in Barbados in 2007. He later picked up the E coli virus from a steak tartare, and was hospitalised eight times in the last few months of his life.

But he continued to write his weekly column for The Sunday Times until 2 December, 2012, signing off with the headline: "Geraldine says it's time to get down from the table. Goodbye."

Winner met his wife 56 years ago, but did not marry until 2011 in a small ceremony witnessed by actor Michael Caine and his wife Shakira.

Mrs Winner said her husband had died on Monday at his home in Kensington, London, where she had been nursing him

[DemonGeminiX]

Stan Musial died over the weekend.
