Celebrity Death Pool 2016

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Same rules as previous years with a couple of tweaks which are as follows:


I am going to tweak it a bit as far as what is considered a celebrity and what will be allowed in the 2016 version. Of course anyone at all in the entertainment industry is still fair game so long as they are considered a celebrity, even if it's a Z-list celebrity and they are known outside of the area you live in. Such as, while Howard Stern for example would be a fair entry, the local DJ on your local station, even though he may be famous in your neck of the woods, is not a legal choice because nobody else will have ever heard of them. Same goes for politicians and the like. The President of the United States is a fair entry, but the US Secretary of Transportation, for example, is not. Same goes for any other country in the world where you may reside and the politicians there. You may know who your Minister of Defense is, but I'm sure nobody else will unless they live in the same country as you. Also, no obscure individuals such as random terrorists that nobody may have heard of, especially since it's near impossible to even prove they have died.

The death pool for 2016 will begin at midnight (MST) on the 9th of January 2016. So, I must have received your PM's with your final lists by January 8th, 2016 at 11:59 PM (MST), after that point, no more lists, or changes to your lists will be allowed. Also, please limit yourself to just ONE change of your list after you submit it. In the past I have received 3 and 4 and even 5 list revisions. If you have already submitted your initial list, you may revise it ONE TIME and then that will become your final list. This is being done to avoid confusion on my end on who sent what list when and all of that.

PM me your list of 15 celebs/famous people (it has to be someone that is well known and is in the news/gossip rags) that you want on your list and we will get the ball rolling. After the lists are finalized I will add them to this first post. And just a quick reminder on the scoring system or for any new players, you start at 100 and then subtract the dead person's age and those are your points. So obviously the younger someone is, the bigger the score. Person with the most points at 11:59 PM MST December 31st, 2016 will be the winner.

Let's get it on!

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Pat will be on my list until I will his death

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I might be extending the deadline for lists as I am a bit swamped at the moment, so you have a few extra days. I would like everyone to have their lists to me by 11:59 PM on January 11th MST please.

[redred]

i was hoping half my list would be dead by then , but if you must :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sorry mate :lol:

[RBP]

Submitted. Mostly different list, which means everyone should pick my refuse-to-die motherfuckers from 2015, because I didn't. :lol:

[deebakes]

i will drop something in over the weekend lancey pants :tup:

[Oofty Goofty]

Pat will be on my list until I will his death

Even if he lives to be 100?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I'll take negative points just to continue sending negative vibes ;)

[Hikari Kisugi]

Submitted my list, went for loads in their 70's and 80's in the hope several pop off and score reasonably points.

[Oofty Goofty]

I actually picked Frey on the list I submitted three weeks ago.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Lists are posted, I believe I got them up from everyone who sent me in a list and I'm pretty sure that I got everyone's final list. If you see any inaccuracies or I missed something, let me know, otherwise the lists are final as-is.

Oofty took the early lead with Glen Frey passing earlier this week, so he's the one to beat currently.

[Goofy]

Damn Oofty :shakefist:

[Oofty Goofty]

Damn Oofty :shakefist:

Don't worry, it won't last long.

Great choice of Jared Fogle for those who picked him. Young, and likely to be killed in prison.

Nobody's gonna give a shit about this but Ray Tomlinson died yesterday as well. He was 75.

"Who the fuck was Ray Tomlinson", you ask? He's the computer guy that created email back in 1971, or at least the earliest version of it that operated on the ARPANET system (precursor to the internet). But without him, we wouldn't be able to send each other cat and shock pics and other junk.

Anton Yelchin died in a car accident today. He played Chekov in the Star Trek reboot series.

Damn shame. Like him since Alpha Dogs. I have some issues with the Star Trek reboot, but I thought he was absolutely fantastic. He really played homage to Walter Koenig's role (even replicating the inauthentic accent in some places). Very sad, only 27. The Star Trek cast was close too.

[Goofy]

Just heard that on the radio, shame :rip:

[redred]

weird one being run over by your own car

[DemonGeminiX]

Maybe his brakes gave out.

Nope, apparently there was a problem with the gear shift. His model had a service recall for it.

[DemonGeminiX]

That's way too complicated for something as simple as shifting gears. And now, someone has died because of it.

[Pony]

I hate the shifters in the chryslers. You really have to fiddle with them. Trying to go from reverse to drive or drive to reverse always seems to put you either in park,neutral or low 2.

Weve got a Jeep Grand Cherokee in at the work just now, same gearshift, piece of shit!

You guys remember that 90s TV infomercial psychic Miss Cleo? She reportedly died today at 53 from cancer.

If it is, we're both in trouble. That's the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the article.

That's too bad. 81 is a pretty impressive age for someone with dwarfism though isn't it!? I think their life expectancy is quite a bit shorter due to the condition.

[RBP]

I don't understand what he did. Ride around in a toy while they made beeping sounds?
