You aint Harry Mac, are you?

There is no need to announce it, you are not Joan Crawford or owt.

You sod off.................then come back at a later date.

As in life, participation ebbs and flows.

 

 

Well ... I think many of us would feel happier if Hein had announced he was sodding off. Rather than not knowing what the hell has happened to him.

So I think it is considerate to mention that one is taking a break, yes.

 

Deathwank is no Hein.

Quite true, fortunately.

At the risk of making this pool more efficient, I have just noticed that I omitted to give Switch one more hit and the relevant points for Gordie Howe, which I must have initially thought was Gord Downie *shrug*.

 

I am updating the scoreboard in the relevant post.

 

Edit: As I said before, if you think you have more deaths than the number assigned to your name, let me know and I'll look into it.

[gcreptile 10,211]

Lupita Tovar a hit for me and probably a couple of others.

[YoungWillz 18,956]

Unfair. I demand she be resurrected to give other people some little hope in this pool. Updated leaderboard to follow.

When will you be accepting entrants for hares deadpool youngwilz?

When will you be accepting entrants for hares deadpool youngwilz?

 

Damn, elected by popular acclaim to caretaker!

 

I'd say 1 December. Remember though that there's a lot of days until the end of 2016, which is snapping up celebs by the bucketload.

[YoungWillz 18,956]

Gracious, is this going to be a daily thing?

 

Death Impends takes a hop towards the top with Melvin Laird. gcreptile still has a dead hand on the lead.

Firstly a massive thanks to YDub for looking after while I was absent, far too efficiently as far as I'm concerned - (I mean daily updates ) but that's honestly not why I have returned. I'm going to apologise for passive aggressively throwing my toys out the pram, on reflection I might have overreacted a wee bit. Apparently Deathlist is a bit like Hotel California, you can check out but you can't leave.

 

Secondly, the rules clearly state that the competition opens at 00:01 on the 1st December by default provided a game-runner exists and close at 2359 on December 31st - It's worth noting this gives you an extra day to submit entries compared to previous years. I will be running the 2017 competition and providing the end of year starts for 2016 on the 1st January (in a rare move for the Hares Death Pool I'm going to put a 100% guarantee on that efficiency coming to fruition*), and this has been agreed with YDub before being made public.

 

*provided I still breathe, if not it seems you've appointed my successor...

 

If anyone desperately wishes to send an early entry it will be treat as being entered on the 1st December, and will not be added to the master list until the 1st December at the earliest.

 

The full rules are available in the first post of the thread - note for clarity, entries are accepted via PM (the encouraged but often neglected route to be frank, keep your DDP picks safe - although there's so many pools on here now the entire DDP are probably running a game and can see those picks anyway). Or for the serially lazy (shoutout to the serially lazy, you're great people) in the spoiler below:

 

These rules were last updated on the 6th March and I can now clearly state they will not be updated for the remainder of this year and will not be changed during the 2017 competition in any way that effects the 2017 competition, the majority of updates were merely clarifications of unofficial rules that we're already being used.

 

 

 

The Rules (Last updated 6 March 2016)

• All teams must contain 25 picks. A maximum 5 subs are allowed.
• All picks must be humans aged over 18 on January 1st of the game year..
• Death row prisoners only score if they die of other causes, those still on trial will still score points if sentenced to execution after 0000 on January 1st.
• Celebrities qualify if they achieve an obituary or article about their death in a local, national or even specialist newspaper - the article does not need to specifically relate to their death, instead just mention it and date it. or website/magazine/paper. If in doubt cite your death note for approval. There is absolutely no requirement for obits to be in the English language, however translations should be provided if they are not.
• Entries must be posted between 0001 on the 1st December and 2359 on December 31st, if a pick dies before 2359 but it's not known until January 1st they may be replaced until 2359 on January 1st provided the replacement hasn't died between 0000 and their addition to the team on January 1st. The Game runner is permitted to enter a team on the express understanding that team is visible prior to the entries opening.
• The game runner is permitted to permit a team submitting within the first few days of January at their own discretion, under the proviso no other teams have scored upon the late teams entry.
• The exception to this is if the late team includes someone sentenced to death between 0000 on the 1st January and it's submission, in that instance the player will be kindly told to f**k off and have the entire team rejected, ditto for replacements.
• Murdering your chosen "celebrities" is both against the rules and illegal regardless of willing participation.
• Keeping alive another persons pick against the picks will to benefit in this game is also against the roles.
• If assisted euthanasia becomes legal in the future, contestants in this dead pool are forbidden from encouraging/discouraging/or actively taking part in their or another contestants picks decision regarding this or being an active participant in their euthanasia. This rules apply to assisted euthanasia in other countries of picks.
• Celebrities are disqualified if they are a celebrity because of their impending death. For clarification Tom Attwater - fundraiser dying of cancer was an eligible pick for hia fundraising. This man who became critically ill after being hit by a trolley in M&S would not be an eligible pick if his identity were known for a game held in 2013, if the man were to recover, his extremely dubious claim to fame as the man hit by a trolley in M&S would be sufficient to see him eligible as a pick if he garnered the required obit.
• All entries must be posted in this thread or PMed to me, they'll then be posted in this thread as one post for each game year.
• The onus is always on the player to check that the person in question is alive at the start of the competition and replace them within the 24 hour leeway allotted, if this is not something you are willing to do please provide up to 5 substitutes. Even if you're convinced all you're players are breathing you may wish to provide substitutes just to be safe (a player who shall remain nameless provided a pick who died in 2005 in their team, we are all capable of making mistakes - better safe than sorry)
• Blatant plagiarism of another persons team, in the eye of the game runner, is punishable by expulsion and a 5 year ban on entering the competition.

Scoring System (Last Updated 6 March 2016)

• 1 Point for each day of the year that passes before your celebs death (if they die on the 10th of January you are awarded 9 points for example) up until the games close at midnight on the 31st December.
• 250 point bonus if one of your "celebrities" dies on 31st December in that game year (i.e a 31st death will score 614 points in a normal year or 615 points in a leap year rather than the 363 deaths it would normally accrue)
• Pick 1 of your celebrities as a wild card to double the points for that pick upon their death. (i.e if they die on the 9th January you'll get 16 points). Wildcards are calculated before the 250 point bonus, meaning are 31st December wildcard will score 976 points not 1228.
• 500 point bonus if your entire list perish of this mortal coil in the game year.

 

 

 

TL;DR: Thanks to YW but I'm back with my tairly firmly between my legs.
