Hello, deathlisters!
The world-famous "Shaun's Death By Numbers" is back, with your new host - Phantom of the Midway.
Here are the basic rules:
- Make a list of 50 people (preferably in alphabetical order), with 3 substitutes. Nominate one person as your joker.
- Submit it to me by midnight on New Year's (British time).
- You can make 5 substitutions to your team at the halfway point - July 1st. But we'll talk about that later.
- No death row inmates, terrorist hostages, or longevity claimants (see below) allowed. Picks must be 18+ and human. You know, the obvious stuff.
- Same QO rules as the DDP. If Spade makes any changes to the QO rules for next year, those will apply for here too.
- FFBI are allowed, but good luck getting most of them to QO anyway.
Here is the scoring system:
For each dead person, the points you will receive are the last two digits of their date of birth. For somebody born in 1900, you get 0 points. For somebody born in 1999, you get 99 points. The reason I don't allow longevity claimants is because there are no people alive proven to have been born before 1900, so I ain't gonna give you xx points for somebody claiming to have been born in 18xx.
There are no bonuses - not for unique, not for Drop 40/Deathlist - nothing. The only points you get is the last two digits of their date of birth, so choose wisely.
Your joker scores double points when they die.
I will not be submitting my own team. Good luck to you all!
