(II) What's on the Telly?

Recommended Posts

Rules:    *Aired in the context of this pool, means TV/Streaming*

 

A. You must pick 3 cast members for submission, with 2 subs.
        - If a cast member + sub dies before game start, I will allow a replacement

B. Any person selected must have a IMDB or English Wikipedia page created by the time of game start.

C. Any TV Show selected must have at least 10 half-hour episodes or 5 full hour episodes created from start to finish (that aired*).

D. Franchise TV Show's will be considered separate. For example, Star Trek TNG vs D9.

E. The cast of your show must have at least 5 living verified members by your submission.

        - If a cast member dies before game start, knowingly or not, thus bringing the number below 5.

           An exception will be made.

F. Whoever's picks die first, wins!

G. The cast member selected must appear in at least two separate episodes in the show (that aired*)!

H. A plan for a tie-breaker is in place, it involves the overall age of the 3 cast members selected.

     Whoever has the youngest average age, wins.

I. You MUST submit your team/show via PM, otherwise your submission is not counted

J. If 2 people submit the same trio of names, but for different shows, I will honor the first person who submits it

         - The other person will be required to use their sub, but I will allow them to choose who to swap out.

K. A QO will be very lax this game, I'll accept nearly anything.

L. All shows used in the previous round are out of bounds (though could be reintroduced in the subsequent round).

  • Winning shows will go into the Hall of Fame and are out of bounds in perpetuity.
  • A show is not out of bounds if two or more players selected it in the previous round, thus eliminating it from said round.

 

Genres of shows not allowed: Sports, Infomercials, or News Shows.

 

My Twist!

As this website has brought some of the most informed deadpoolers around, I want to make it a bit harder.                             

If any user picks a show, which is then picked by another, that show is eliminated from the game.

 

Essentially this means you take a risk in submission, as any show you pick could be scrapped if someone else is likeminded. It also means it would be wise to have a back-up!

 

Do you take a risk in picking a popular show, thinking others will be scared?

Do you pick something unique knowing you have no competition on it?

Hello everyone,

 

There will be another round! Stay tuned for an update this weekend that will release the rules + open entries.

Entries are officially open!

 

Entries open immediately and close October 13th at 6 pm CST (which is Midnight GMT). Please use PM only.

 

Some changes for this round:

 

1. You must send me 2 subs for your TV show. It is a requirement to send me subs in your selection. Without them it will not count

2. I've outlawed News Shows, Infomercials, and Sports. This is due to feedback from last round. I've left in Game Shows + Talk shows. I am using the Wiki definition for those genres of shows when deciding what qualifies. Please reach out if you have questions.

3. All selections from the previous round, except those that were eliminated due to duplicate selection, are not allowed for this round.

 

Please ask questions or point out issues. I am always open to feedback.

 

Thanks again to @Bibliogryphon for being my inspiration with this pool

Re item 2 above, what is the wiki definition of said genres? Is there a link? (The show I have in mind is a factual/magazine type show, possibly could be counted as current affairs but not "news").

 

PS Any chance of sorting list into alphabetical order for ease of reference?

Entry submitted. Thanks for running again.

 

No doubt my programme will be screwed over. However, I'm up for another look if necessary.

My entry is in which should hopefully qualify.  Thanks for running. 

 

Just after I submitted my team, I thought of another fantastic choice, but that's for the next round...

The definition of Infomercials, Sports, and News Shows. I got the definitions from this page.

Not sure if you mean the 'banned shows' (the shows that were selected last round and therefor won't be allowed this one) or if you mean the Master List that will be released when the game starts.

 

Either way, yes alphabetical makes much more sense. I will do that for both!

I submitted yesterday. Hope it goes well, I have a couple of other ideas, but I KNOW these would lead to a chain reaction of other disqualifications.
