The 2022 Crowdsourced Deathlist

[msc 17,740]

First up, thanks to Joey for running this for the years I was busy with another popular deadpool. Apparently its the 8th November already, so time to set in motion another Crowdsourced Deathlist. The 2021 version looks set to finish ahead of the official Deathlist (without the use of Roberta McCain). However while it started well, the 2021 list fell to sleep during the Summer months.

 

Will the 2022 edition be able to top our current list? We will see, but for the time being let's go over the rules, shall we?

 

THE RULES

 

Rules

 

1. Please send a list of celebrities you wish to vote for to msc, during the time period of 8th November to the 31^st December 2021. The list must have a minimum of 12 names on it, and a maximum of 50. Yes, this means we are open now, as I'll just forget to officially open it otherwise. For more evidence, note I intended to open this on the same day as the Deathrace thread...

 

 

Please send them by either PM or the Shadow List thread, not by email, semaphore, Morse code, Deathlist live chat, animated corpses, text messages, or any other means of communication you can think of. And you may only submit via 1 of those two methods above, NOT BOTH METHODS! 

 

2. Your 1st choice will gain 50 points, 2nd 49, etc etc to 50th which will gain 1 point. This is true even if you only send in 12 names, or 13 names, or 49 names. 

 

3. When the deadline passes, all of the points that an individual celebrity gain will be added together, and the top fifty celebrities with the most points overall will go on the Utterly Unofficial Forum List.

 

4. Feel free to add substitutes at the bottom of the list, which will only be counted if one of your fifty die before January 1st 2022. If for example your number one pick is such a smart one they die before January 1st, then I will give 50 points to your 2nd pick, and so on until 1 point is given to the first substitute.

 

5. Do try to make the picks as "Deathlisty" as possible. More Jean Claude, less Miguel Van Damme, if you know what I mean. Someone likely to score an obit with one of the major English language news outlets.

 

6. The deadline for sending in entries is 31st December 2021 at 9 pm GMT. That's 4pm New York Time (31st December) and 8am (1st Jan) Melbourne time to help out non-Brits. This earlier dead line is so there's enough time to complete the list before the new year as well as enjoying some extra time off as well. I am keeping Joey's earlier cut off time for simplicity.

 

7. This is essentially a forum game without a winner. It does however put the long held notion by some that the combined minds of the forum know better than the Committee to the test.

 

8. Who picked whom will remain anonymous. Unless the person announces it of course.

 

9. The paranoid probably shouldn't send in their DDP unique hopefuls. Whilst I do not intend to steal them away, it would make no sense: if the person then showed up on the list, their chances of being unique would be very slim indeed! 

 

9b. If you do wish to send your DDP unique hopefuls, I won't complain!

 

10. To keep to the Deathlist spirit, only the top 25 ranked celebrites from the current list of Crowdsourced Deathlist 2021 survivors will be used: Bob Dole, Jimmy Carter, Pope Benedict XVI, Leslie Philips, Tom Parker, Mikhail Gorbachev, James Whale, Tom Smith, Glynis Johns, Linda Nolan, Betty White, Henry Kissinger, Bob Barker, Yoko Ono, Joanne Woodward, Shannon Doherty, Clarissa Eden, Olivia Newton-John, Rosalyn Carter, David Gulpilil, Sidney Poitier, Jean Louis Trintignant, Harry Belafonte, George Alagiah, Prunella Scales, Barbara Walters, Monica Vitti, June Spencer, Angela Lansbury, Queen Elizabeth II, Bill Turnbull, Bob Newhart, Eva Marie Saint, Noam Chomsky, Willie Nelson, Imelda Marcos. 

 

 

As usual, this is something for me to worry about, not you. 

 

 

10a) Our actual collated list will stick to the "25 from the previous year" rule.

10b) As a result, if our top fifty, after all votes have been counted, has more than twenty-five of the 2021 survivors (named for ease in Rule 10), then the lowest ranked excess survivors will be axed from the list in favour of The Fifty-First ranked celebrity and so on...

10c) Since we don't know if that'll be an issue until I actually do the counting, voters don't need to worry about limiting their personal lists to 25 survivors. It'd be nice if they did, but that's life.

 

 

 

11) Please pick living people. Folk do die before 1st January, but there were a few cases of people dead for a number of years chosen last time. Please do not pick animals, or ISIS prisoners, or kids, or any of the usual no go areas.

 

12) The Deathray Rule. If Deathers is reading this, he is more than welcome to find some way to get his usual 50 points for that bloody weatherman in! 

 

 

 

Anyhow, enjoy. Or not.

Thanks, added. You've made some folk jump up the list into contention for now, 9 lists in. No, not Vera Miles yet to save your annual query! 

[Death Impends 7,361]

Not sure if putting Instagram posts about Vera Miles and Connie Francis into spoiler tags through my phone was how I wanted to start my morning, but the deed is done now.
