Dying Probably

Electoral Deadpool 2022

Recommended Posts

Got bored, made a deadpool. Here's all the rules.

 

  • Have a list of 10 political candidates.
  • This includes Presidents, Vice Presidents, Prime Ministers, Deputy Prime Ministers, Dictators, Parliamentarians, as well as losing candidates. (so you can have Jimmy Carter, Dan Quayle, John Major, Nick Clegg, Kim Jong Un as well as Michael Dukakis - oh and don't forget the random MPs and Representatives.)
  • They can be from any UN member state and from any election within said nations.
  • Order them from most likely to least likely.
  • You get 10 points for first place, 9 for second, 8 for third, etc etc.
  • One extra point is awarded for unique picks.
  • One extra point is awarded for murders/unexpected deaths, as long as you don't commit them yourselves...
  • You can't pick someone who will be executed. (as to be expected)
  • Pick two subs please.

 

I never know what to put here but enjoy.

 

Oh, and if one of the picks is dead, @ me when you tell us please.

Entries don't close - join whenever.

I interpreted 'parliamentarians' as MPs who weren't Heads of State are permissible. Similarly I have a losing candidate in a parliamentary election, not for a head of state election. If these are not allowed, please tell me.

 

Consult page 2 of last year's thread.  Picks need to be from the highest levels of government.

Got to hop in here - the rules have been edited slightly to include Parliamentarians and the like - so yes, MPs, Senators, and Representatives, and all that come with them, are now allowed. Gives us a bigger pool so that I don't have to update everyone's once a month!

Well... damn.  Already had 38 names up for consideration.  This might take longer than expected.

Ok thanks, I'll put the ones I pulled after SM's intervention back in then. I like picking ex-Tory cabinet ministers, allows you to mix business wth pleasure.
