maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted November 4, 2016 It's fast,it's furious it's effing good fun. Teams of 20 topplers posted on this thread or PM'd to MPFC will be collected into a masterlist to lighten the dark early days of the year with a veritable carnival of carnage. The counting of points is live from the first second of 2017 after which points aplenty pile onto the scoreboard until some lucky sucker snags the magic 2017 score and everyone pours hearty congratulations the way of our winner. It is something of a Deathrace tradition that the lucky winner forgoes the tenner's worth of a prize and insists the money is donated to a charity (though who knows in 2017?) It is also something of a tradition that one or two of those not paying full attention are barred from entry because they fail to clock that entries close at midnight on 30 December. So, this'll be the list of entrants - then: Bibliogryphon - bg Book - bk Captain Chorizo - cc The Dead Cow - dc Deadsox - ds Deathers - de Death Impends - di Drol - dr Dr_T - dt Gcreptile - gr Gooseberry Crumble - gc JiroemonKimura - jk JoeyRuss - jr Lard Bazaar - lb Lozzie - lo Maryportfuncity - mp Morbidkid - mk msc - ms NotSirPeterMaxwellDavies - ns Pedro67 - pd Perenielllurker - pl Pistol Knight - pk Prosperina - pr RadGuy - rg Rockhopper Penguin - rh Rotten Ali - ra SantaBunny - sb Sean of the Dead - sd Switch - sw Toast - to The Unknown Man - tu Whitehouse - wh YoungWillz - yw Youwanticewiththat - yr We needed some new blood to freshen the presentation team; this year we sauced faded pop king David Cassidy Hall of Fame: Raskolnikov - 2009 Champion: No champion 2010 DDT - 2011 Champion Spade Cooley - 2012 Champion DDT - 2013 Champion Death Impends - 2014 Champion MSC - 2015 Champion DDT - 2016 Champion Death Impends - 2017 Champion 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted November 4, 2016 Who are you calling sick? We have proper rules and everything: Deathrace 2017 - Those Rules in Full: 1 - The object of the Deathrace is to be the first contestant to reach 2017 points. 2 - To enter the Deathrace a contestant must have:i: a team of twenty topplers ("topplers" must be at least 18 years old on 1 Jan 2017; but are otherwise mainly unrestricted). ii: Deathlist membership (i.e. be at least a pointless ranter and at most a dedicated Cumbrian corpse hound, or summat) 2a: A player may enter as many team members facing state execution as s/he wants but said picks will only count for deathrace points if they die by means other than state execution - murder, suicide, ill health etc. 3 - Entries close promptly at midnight on 30 December and entry can be made either by sending a team of twenty to MPFC via PM hereabouts and/or by posting a team of twenty on the Deathrace 2017 thread. 4 - Players score points every time a team member dies and accrues an obit (see point 9 below) and the score for each death is calculated as one point for each complete calendar day remaining in 2017 after the death of the team member; so a death on 1 January earns 365 pts, a death on 2 January earns 364 pts etc. 5 - Each team must nominate one member as a joker and the joker scores double points on death. 6 - The winner is the first player to reach or exceed 2017 pts. 7 - In the event that a death or deaths on a specific day push more than one player beyond a winning score the player with the highest overall score will be deemed to be the winner. 8 - In the event that two or more players tie for victory a Deathrace play off will ensue with all potential winners continuing to compete until such time as one potential winner scores more points than any other potential winner (such points continuing to be accrued as per the scoring system described in point 4 above). 9 - An "obit" in the context of the Deathrace is any news report in English from a reliable source. Such sources include - but are not limited to - UK national press, UK national broadcast organisations, foreign press and broadcast organisations with an English language thread to their communication, trade press in English, local news organisations reporting in English and coverage in specialist online sites, such as those monitoring the well-being of super-centenarians. Where dispute arises over the qualifying nature of a news source for obit purposes MPFC's decision is final. But he wants fast and furious competition and is generally very amenable to low hanging dead pool fruit of all varieties. 10 - To qualify for entry purposes team members must be alive at 00-01 hrs on 1 January 2017 or qualify for the Raymond Hewlitt Memorial Exemption (RHME) (see point 11). 11 - In honour of everybody's favourite Maddie-implicated paedo scum a candidate widely believed to be alive on 1 January and subsequently proven to have died previously will be awarded 366 points in the event that a Deathrace qualifying obit subsequently appears for said candidate. In the event that a Deathrace qualifying obit for the candidate is subsequently proven to have existed prior to commencement of the Deathrace all points will be voided. RHME points are only available during competition and in the event that a winner has been declared before discovery of a qualifyiing RHME candidate no revision of the final result will occur. Similarly, if some lucky candidate is awarded RHME points and these points are still in play at the time a winner is declared the points will not subsequently be voided and may - therefore - count towards a championship. All disputes relating to RHME will be resolved by the astute judgement of MPFC and there is no appeals procedure (though all sides of opionion are warmly invited to liven up the Deathrace thread by venting their fury). 11a - Similarly to pt 11 above, if an obited death occurs during play of the Deathrace and is missed despite MPFC's best efforts to stay in touch and/or the spirited efforts of Deathrace participants and said death is missed in totting up points, after which a winner is declared, then this death will not count for competition purposes. The same is true in the case of a known death gathering a late obit and therefore allowing some other competitor to be declared a winner. All disputes relating to rule 11a will be resolved by the astute judgement of MPFC and there is no appeals procedure (though all sides of opionion are warmly invited to liven up the Deathrace thread by venting their fury). 12 - In the event that Deathlist editing options or other online trickery is discovered to have been employed in the editing of teams, those duly fingered for such cheating will be removed from the Deathrace and banned for life from subsequent entry into Deathraces. 13 - The prize will be awarded as follows:i: Should the winner agree to attend a DLCon with MPFC a double measure of alcholic drinks (pints, wine or spirits) will be supplied by MPFC along with much hearty congratulations and back-slapping. ii: A carefully chosen and appropriate prize will be posted to the winner (such as the DVD copy of the original Deathrace movie supplied to the 2009 champion). iii: MPFC will make a charitable donation to a cause of the winner's choice (as has been the case with four of the five existing winnings of the Deathrace). This course of action is highly encouraged and is known to show dead poolers as something other than the sicko scum many ranters believe us to be. AND FINALLY...A masterlist of entries will be posted after the closing date. MPFC will undertake to update the scoreboard at least once every seven days. On completion of Deathrace activities the thread will get lively for a short while as losing contestants and spectactors offer well-deserved congratulations to the skilful and highly talented new champion, after which time it is expected that the cooling corpse of the thread will be allowed to gently sink into oblivion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
