2017 Death Pool Draft

[Lithium]

Here are the rules:
- Every participant picks ten - 10 - celebrities that they think will die in 2017.
- If any of the celebrities you have picked die, you take the age that they died at and subtract it from 100, and that's the amount of points that you will get. At the end of 2017, your points will be added and the person with the most points wins.
- You are not allowed to pick someone over the age of 100.
- You are allowed to change your list as many times as you'd like until January 1st, 2017.
- When the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, your current draft will be the one you must use in this competition.
- The one with the most points at the end of the year will forever bathe in glory, as well as the honour of becoming a member of the exclusive club of Death Pool winners, including such players as yours truly and Powerage5.

Good luck to you all!

You can change your list as much as you want until 11:59 PM on the 31st.

[AxlsFavoriteRose]

thanks. what i need to know is can i start off with just a couple of people then add more or do you have to have all 10 at once? and i am assuming no one can duplicate a celeb that anyone else has on their list?

Been answered before, but I don't remember. 

 

Are we going by our individual time zones or a set time zone?

ok i am just gonna jump in before someone else does....i hate to say but my first pick is Val Kilmer. and i saw no one over 100 but if 100 is ok Olivia de Havilland. and sorry to say Malcom Young. Billy Graham. George Bush Sr.

I mean, you can pick someone who is 100, but it's literally a waste of a pick, as they're worth zero points.

ok okay thanks!

If you pick someone over 100 and they die, you should lose points and even go negative.
