CaptainChorizo 1,953 Posted April 19 Ah, April. As the weather gets warmer, the DDP hits get fewer. But - not to fret - as the Windy City Deadpool is here to save us all from a summer of deadpooling boredom! Basics: Pick a team of 21 people. The higher their rank, the more points they get when they die and obit. Submit it to me via PM or on this thread, by the end of April. Scoring System: 1st pick: 500 points 2nd pick: 450 points 3rd pick: 400 points 4th pick: 350 points 5th pick: 300 points 6th pick: 275 points 7th pick: 250 points 8th pick: 225 points 9th pick: 200 points 10th pick: 180 points 11th pick: 160 points 12th pick: 140 points 13th pick: 120 points 14th pick: 100 points 15th pick: 85 points 16th pick: 70 points 17th pick: 55 points 18th pick: 50 points 19th pick: 45 points 20th pick: 40 points 21st pick: 21 points As you can see the margin slowly decreases from 500 -450 etc until the 21st pick. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by whoever has the most unique hits,if still tied after unique hits then overall,if after those 2 tb methods still tied then latest game hit Bonus Points Scrapping the old bonus system,I am gonna borrow from the now defunct Doug Stanhope Deadpool and every month will have unique scoring bonus for qualifying notables Each Month's Theme gives the oppurtunity for a 50 Point Bonus May-Music Appreciation(Ie musicians,songswriter,music producers ,music journalist ie associated with music) June-Pride Month(Any LGBTQ notables) July-Patrouille de France aka known to english language countries as Bastille Day(So any notables from a French speaking country/territories) August- Birth Month of Alex Haley,Lovecraft and Dorothy Parker(Any writers ie essayists,authors,poets) September- Sporting September(Ie Athletes/coaches,commentators,owners ie notables associated with sport) October- Food and Animals(Since World Hunger and Kindnes to Animals day occurs this month anyone with a food or animal related name gives you bonus points this month ie Tiger Woods/Tony Hawk Kevin Bacon/Saffron Burrows) November-Neighborino's (Since the Windy City (ie Chicago) is in the Usa,bonus points to any notable deaths of Russian's,Mexican's,Canadian etc ie anyone from a country that border's some part of the Usa) December- Diecember( IE Murderer's,War Criminals,Paedo's,rapists etc) January-Auld Lang Syne(Going the opposite of previous month,basically any Noble Prize Winners or Notables who have won any other kind of Humanitarian or Service Award) February-Black History Month(Ie any black celebs/notables) March-Oscar Month(Since the Oscar's are typically in March this a film themed month.Anyone who has been nominated for an Oscar/Bafta film award,or Directed a film in competition at Cannes,Berlin,Sundance.Venice etc or any other major festival qualifies for this bonus) April-Wrestmania Month(Ie Wrestlers or anyone associated with wrestling) The only Non Month Related Bonuses Youngest Hit Bonus-100 Points Hit in last 7 days -77 points Acceptable Obits: Anything accepted by the Derby Dead Pool, plus The Independent. Plus the following national American news sources: - New York Times - LA Times - CBS News - Chicago Tribune -Wall Street Journal Plus the following International news sources: http://www.cbc.ca/ https://www.theaustralian.com.au/ http://www.heraldscotland.com/ https://www.univision.com/ https://www.lemonde.fr https://www.spiegel.de/https://www.spiegel.de/ https://elpais.com https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com So a few regional papers have been added from Germany,India and France * Cancer Mum's/Athlete's Wives(IE Tiffany Youngs) and other Famous For Being Ill Types will not be accepted even if they get a qualifying Obit *Some name's may appear like a gray area(ie Roz Patterson).Notable in her Native Country as a reporter and would easily get a QO with a plane crash or auto accident type death.However if none of her QO obits mention her journalistic career and is just an angle about her being a Cancer Mum then no points will be awarded. *Relatives of the famous (Since there was a bit of confusion last year even if the relative of a famous person has some type of professional credit,unless their obit specifically mention them in a professional role that reasonably a person obits from it will be a non QO obit . For example if Tom Cruise Nephew/Brother/Dad etc. Bob Cruise was a Gaffer,Best Boy,Photgrapher/Hairdresser/Caterer or had a Vanity Producers Credit on a Mission Impossible Behind The Scenes Doc on IMDb that still not a high enough bar even if they get a DailyMail copypasta .Those specific behind the scenes industry occupations never are noted unless they are related to someone famous. However if a Bob Cruise has professional acting/writing etc credits where they may land an Obit even if they were related to nobody famous then they are acceptable. Any questions just ask Duration: The competition lasts from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025 Get your team in before Big Ben welcomes the month of May. Teams can be sent either through pm or posted in this thread 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
