    How about this:

    The first four byes should be given to the top 4 DDP placers in 2016. That'd be Spade, Captain Chorizo, DDT, and Death Impends. Then the remaining byes should be given out by random. If their six byes remaining, give to the top 3, 4 byes top 2 and 2 byes one goes to Spade. I think that's fair.

    Right then. Since YoungWilz went the risky 25 route, we now have our first leaderboard. So without further ado, here is the leaderboard

    1st= Everyone Else On Planet Earth 0

    Last YoungWilz -2

     

    Though this wasn't originally on my mind, and not on the unwritten rules, I'm considering docking a point from Shaun if he doesn't put a sub in for Jimmy Snuka. Is that fair? Your thoughts on it.

    Three entries so far with a fourth saying they'll enter later. Guessing many of you are waiting till it's closer to the deadline so less options are available and so you don't have to sub in people :P

    Speaking of which, Sean still needs a sub to replace Snuka.

    Jimmy Snuka was without a doubt famous enough to be deathlist material backed up by Jake 'The Snake' Roberts being a former entrant. 15 days in and three of my fifty have already gone. Sarstedt and Hollingworth the other two.

    But many of us thought he reaked of fraud. Therefore, he is not a true miss. Of the ones who were brought up in this thread, he's probably the smallest miss.

    Anyone wants to know the list without participating in the game. It's so people don't say I'm making up the bonus points. If your participating, you can't know the bonuses.

     

    Ok, you can enlist my help if you so choose.
    Alright. It's sent to both you and DDT, so if anyone is thinking that the bonuses aren't true, then those two will be the ones to confirm it.

    Saw a picture of a Sunday's Herald Newspaper on Facebook. Here what it reads:

     

    President Trump: The Inauguration (4pm, BBC One/STV)

    After a long absence, The Twilight Zone returns with one of its most ambitious, expensive and controversial productions in broadcast history. Sci-fi writers have dabbled often with alternative history stories – among the most common is the "What If The Nazis Had Won The Second World War" setting – but this huge interactive virtual reality project, which will unfold on TV, in the press, and on Twitter over the next four years, sets out to build an ongoing alternative present. The story begins in a nightmarish version of 2017 in which huge sections of the US electorate have somehow been duped into voting to make Donald Trump president. It sounds far-fetched, and it is, but as it goes on it becomes more and more chillingly plausible. Today's feature-length opener concentrates on the gaudy inauguration of President Trump, and the stirrings of protest and despair surrounding the ceremony, while pundits speculate gravely on what lies ahead. It's a flawed piece, but a disturbing glimpse of the horrors we could stumble into, if we're not careful.

    Alright. Which person who will not participate ever would like to receive the bonus points list. If you decide to participate afterwards, remember that I will ignore your request and you will not be entered in this year.

    To be honest, I don't expect anyone to die before the 21st.

     

    Total bastard.

     

    Alright, I'll award points for Snuka but what shall I do about subsequent entries? It seems harsh to give them a load of points but it would be unfair to let them start with nothing. How about making them choose 26 instead of 25?

    If that's the case, I'll add Jerry Lewis to my squad

    No, I mean those who enters from now on. Everyone who has already entered is fine and will receive points for Snuka very soon.
    Think that's fair.

    Joey, can I please suggest making the full list of bonuses public before the competition starts (even if it's after every teams submitted). If you only reveal them once people have died, then it opens you up to accusations of helping the scorelines out a bit.

    That'll ruin part of the fun though. Seriously though, if a non participant want to see the full list of bonuses, then I can send it to them by pm. I think DDT would be the one I'd send it to unless he plans on participating in this.

    I wish you luck. This is a brave undertaking and the basic idea is intriguing. My constructive critism would be to 2nd rockhopperpenguin's remarks. I read though the rules a number of times and you lost me more than once. It just seems overly complex whether that is because it is complex or the way its been outlined.

     

    I'll try simplify it to maybe make it easier.

     

    You can either choose 25 or 50 people in a team. The 260 people is due to how many DDP jokers there are. If you go to the 50 route, then select 5 people to nominate as jokers, and you can nominate 6 people as jokers if you go the 25 route. Then you can either pm them or announce them publicly by the 28th at midnight GMT. Is that simpler for you (you might be confused by the bonuses, which I'll distribute).

    I will be taking part in this later. ☺

    Good to know. Just remember you must choose from that list of 260 (cause Amber Snailham is old enough after all). Anyone planning to play but is planning on sending teams closer to the deadline can say right here or pm me. :)

    A quick random stat. At the moment, they're are 13 people who is appearing on all three registered teams so far. There are currently four people who have been jokered more than once. The first has been jokered by all three teams. The second and third, while appearing on all three teams, has only been jokered twice. The fourth only appears on two teams thus far, but they have been jokered by both teams. I'm not revealing any of those teams or teams that have PM'd me afterwards until the deadline has passed, so those names are safe with me. :)
