Deathray 2,942 Posted December 31, 2017 To retain an air of mystery to the scoring system; a few tweaks have been made and scores for last year will not be released until after entries for this years competition close. To clarify as you seem to be confused easily, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THE CALCULATION. Just send the 5 names. Welcome to a new pool that will run from 1st Jan 2017 00:00am to 31st Dec 2017 23:59. Each player must submit a team of five names and the score for each candidate on that team will be calculated as follows: 1 will be used for 0. International dialling codes of all nations in which the person has lived in + any regional dialling code that might have applied to them during their lifetime + the total box office take of each film they have appeared in + the total singles sales of all the records they have released / the number of children the individual has produced x (the year of their birth - the year of the death + the year of their mothers death if known) - the number of notable people that are listed as dead on wikipedia up to the date of calculation for 2017 / the number of family members listed in their wikipedia side bar with wiki links * the total number of followers any religion they proclaim to belong to has according to the most reliable source I can find x the number of shopping centres in the city/town that they are living in at the time of their death / the number of sexual encounters any person has publically bragged; the UK classification letter as a number (A being 1, B being 2) of any drugs the person has publically admitted to taking * the number of episodes their most recent television series appearance has had (if a series had multiple runs i.e classic/modern who or Star Trek T.O.S + Start Trek: Discovery etc etc then an aggregate of the entire run) * the number of search results brought up by google when their name is searched + the number of bing results brought up by google when their name is searched * the number of results if their name is searched on the BBC website * the number of professional snooker and or association football matches the individual has played in their life / the length of the longest rugby match they have been involved in + a random number between 1 and 1000 generated from this site= Your total score that death Deadline for entries is 23:59 December 31st 2017 If exacting information cannot be found for any figure (i.e it is clear they played some professional football matches but not clear how many, only the known number will be included (i.e the number of pro football matches we can be sure they played) Best of luck. EDIT: Teams must be sent by Private Message using this forum. All entrants must have a) their own wikipedia article b ) at least five news articles returned if google searched. I will aim for calculations to be carried out on the last day of the month in which celebrities die. Masterlist of Entries YoungWillz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding was we'd all agreed the game is fundamentally flawed in that 0 hits is better than any hits in most circumstances. And more honestly. I barely have time to run Hares let alone this shit.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,142 Posted December 28, 2018 I guess all it needs is to multiply and add all the bonuses rather than divide and subtract. Ah, well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
