Summer in Transylvania 2,190 Posted November 19, 2023 Hello There and Welcome, or Welcome Back to those returning, to the third round of the Crazy Eight Dead Pool! This pool is a lot like the Midsummer and Advent pools in that every entrant may choose only one pick, but the winner will be he/she/they who predicts the Eighth death, not the first, so folks with only 24/48 hours to live may not be the best choice here. Credit for this pool's creation goes to GuyFromFuture, I am merely the host. The Official Rules: 1. Entrants will have 24 hours to submit an entry, declared in this thread, as opposed to by PM. 1 entry per person. 2. Entries open on 20th November 2023 at 00:00 GMT. First come, first served. 3. No two players can pick the same person. 4a. Banned picks include death row inmates (unless sentenced to death after being picked), FFBI, people under the age of 18, and all of the usual no-go areas. Death row inmates, FFBI, people under the age of 18, etc. are eligible to enter as a participant, however. 4b. I am aware that some pools class supercentenarians as FFBI, because they are famous solely due to their age, but that is not the case in this pool, and so they are perfectly eligible to be picked. 5. The QO standards remain fairly low, as long as they are definitely dead, and an obituary, as opposed to a death notice or a social media post, has been published, the hit will be counted. The only exception to this rule is, like last time, legacy.com remains a non-QO source. 6. For legal reasons, killing your or others' picks to speed up the pace of the game or to win is not advised. 7a. Hit placement is determined by date of death, as opposed to date of death announcement. However, in the instance that two entries die on the day of the eighth death, whichever death is reported first shall be counted first. 7b. In the case that a specific date of death cannot be determined, the date said death is announced shall take its place. I am still fairly new to running a pool, so if any of the more experienced members have any suggestions for additions/amendments to the rules, please feel free to say so. The same goes for any questions, should they be prompted. Hall of Fame: 2022-2023: MortalCaso (Ted Kaczynski). 2023: Yvonne (Joss Ackland). 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps 1,425 Posted November 19, 2023 For funsies I dabbled with some AI prompts to see if it'd chuck out cool 'brandings' for deadpools. This is its attempt for this one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
