    Nope. He's gonna live until he's 101, and then when he dies, we're gonna subtract 1 from your total score.

    Well, it's that time of year to start thinking about next year's death pool. 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.

    Any questions? Let's discuss it and go from here.

    And good luck to everyone in the rest of this year, time is running out.

    So what do you consider so obscure about two high profile leaders of well known terrorist organizations that pretty much everybody in the world wants dead?

    A) Terrorists ≠ Celebrity by any stretch of the word 'celebrity'
    B) Someone somewhere is actively looking to kill them, defeats the purpose of picking people that will randomly die during the course of the year
    C) It's impossible to definitively prove whether they are alive or dead, especially when it's from something like a drone strike
    D) I said so

    Really?

    A. Al-Baghdadi is being discussed as being considered Time's Man of the Year. If nobody knows who he is by now, then they most certainly will when that magazine comes out. He'll be a household name bigger than Peyton Manning.

    B. By that logic, we should exclude all people known to be dying of a disease, since WE KNOW that they're going to die soon anyway. Kinda defeats the purpose of picking people that will randomly die during the course of the year.

    C. If Baghdadi or Zawahiri dies, the world will know. It'll be all over the place like it was when Bin Laden was killed.

    So we're going to use Time's Man of the Year to determine who's a celebrity? So these would have all been valid entries in the past using that logic:



    And yes, the militaries of the world actively seeking out to kill terrorists is EXACTLY like someone who is sick

    There are a zillion other people that are famous out there, why do you need the scope of the contest to be expanded to allow terrorists and count them as celebrities, honestly? I'm not being facetious, I really want to know.
