Commtech Sio Bibble 2,063 Posted November 1 With 2024 heading into its final 2 months, in keeping with tradition, it seems about the right time to start making the preparations for next year's Crowdsourced Deathlist. Your 2024 list has, so far, absolutely smashed the official list out of the water, let's see if we can do it again. This is my first year fully hosting, the only change to the rules that I will be making is making entries close a few hours earlier. The rules are below, in case you need a refresher or want to check the new closing time. THE RULES 1. Please send a list of celebrities you wish to vote for to Commtech Sio Bibble (myself), before the deadline. The list must have a minimum of 12 names on it, and a maximum of 50. Yes, this means we are open now. Please send them by either PM or via 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! Private messaging is preferred. Any entry in the shadow list thread must have myself tagged in it so I know to include your entry. 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 2024. 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. 4b) Anyone who wishes to avoid a Pope Benny the Fuckwit Meltdown and just says "oh put my subs in at the number of the person who died" gets 10 post quotes from Comped. 5. Do try to make the picks as "Deathlisty" as possible. More Buffy Sainte-Marie, less Joan Langsford, 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 2024 at 4 pm GMT (or your equivalent local time) This earlier deadline is so everything can be organised and ready for January 1st and so I don't have to sort out submissions whilst drunk/hungover (it is new years eve after all). 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. Although I have no intention of taking any of them. Plus if they're unique in the DDP they're hardly gonna score big here. 10. To keep to the Deathlist spirit, only the top 25 ranked celebrities from the current list of Crowdsourced Deathlist 2024 survivors will be used, 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 2023 survivors, 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. If you really want to you can include all of the survivors in your entry, it will just reflect poorly on you in my eyes. 11) Please pick living people. Folk do die before 1st January (that's what subs are for), 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. Thank you for participating. Surely Ar Jimmy can't make it long enough to make his 10th appearance. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
