    The Generation Game

    Well the ball is in your court.Add whoever you want to your list.If it adversely affects you the owness is on you and there is no money involved so there is no ethical obligation on my part.:p

    Nope you can add as many as you like.Unless you wanted to show off by picking someone likely to die soon then you would be taking a big gamble.The gamble is yours to take though.

    The Generation Game

    I am going to propose a change to the rules but one that is in no way advantageous and could be detromental.Players are now able to add picks to their teams.These are not swaps and would only be additional picks.They are as valid as other picks and should they fail to die they could prevent you winning but a good gamble always makes things much more fun in my view.Plus if a celeb you dont have gets diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer you will get the credit on this pool.Should you pick a Wilko Johnson type it could backfire spectacularly.Use this rule change at you peril. Example of the rule in action.Say I add Wilko Johnson to my team on account of his cancer returning or on account that he is in a coma.The entry is irrevocable and I will then need 61 picks to die for me to win.This change is not to provide an advantage but to allow peoples hubris to potentially disadvantage them!

    60? Some teams have slightly more as they have had replacements for non obiters.

    I have decided when this game ends I will do a second volume that will go: _The Silent Generation (1925_1942) _Baby Boomers (1943_1953) _Generation Jones (1954_1965) That shouldnt be for a couple of years at least though I would think.

    I am starting one but keep getting ddistracted.Will definately do one in the future.I know I am on a pitiful 6/60. 74 picks?

    The Generation Game

    I havent done a scoreboard as it seems the surviving picks are what needs to be judged.

    The Generation Game

    Interesting part of the game is that some of the best teams could still struggle if they miscalculate the health or obit chances of just a couple of picks.

    Who's Going To Be Around For A While?

    I think both Paul and Ringo will be around for a long time yet.I think Roger Waters and Cher will last a fair while yet.Mick Jagger I can see living to a grand old age.

    Who's Going To Be Around For A While?

    Trump I think will last until his 90s.Good genes best healthcare money can buy.Lifelong teetotaller non smoker who has no signs of being ill.

    Right as Derrick Jenson died three months ago yesterday and has no obit you can write him off and add 2 names of baby boomers in his place.

    I think Smith Hart was a unique for you.Not that it gets you any more points though.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2018

    I would say he wasnt famous enough but if it becomes clear he has 0 chance of making 2019 the committee may put him on the list.

    Jimmy Greaves

    He looks shit but no worse than the picks taken after his stroke 2 years ago.
