Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 4, 2018 Once again, a new year has arrived, and that means a new year has come. Here are the rules you get know to know about. Come up with 50 names total for this year. They can come from the list of people in the spoiler (warning: the list is not complete right now as I need to either wait for the first update to occur or hope for Spade to send me the complete list). You can go for 25, but you get to start out with negative points. They can either be put on this thread or PM'd personally to me. You can come up with up to 5 subs Each person is worth one point. Nominate five of them as your jokers. Those people will gain double points. So for people who are wondering how they could possibly win, they are heavily reliant on bonus points. However, the vast majority of the bonus points are in fact hidden, and will be revealed as people score those bonuses. Many of them are different from the Hartlepool, so that'll be where the fun will be. (Hint: If you do want to try to get ahead, look at the scores from last year, as those rules won't be changed. I will add a few bonuses this year though). I will reveal six of those bonus points besides the joker bonus for those five since it's required to compete. Those bonuses are: 1. If those people who are jokers are also unique DDP picks, they'll gain an extra 3 points 2. If those people who are jokers made the drop 40, they'll gain an extra 3 points 3. If those people who are jokers die unnaturally, they'll gain an additional 3 points 4. If those people die on the 13th of the month, they gain an extra 2 points 5. If they die on their birthday, 5 more bonus points will be given to them 6. There are random number of spots that have a total of two bonus points instead of one. Which numbers they are, however, will have to be hidden until they are scored. Because I know the hidden bonus points and you don't, I'm going to be fair and make a completely randomized list of individuals so I don't gain a lot of points. I'll probably join the second time when the vast majority of those points should be revealed. You have until two weeks after the first DDP update to enter. Anyways, enjoy. Or not...

YoungWillz 20,942 Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks Joey, I'll be giving it a go again. Perhaps change the title of this thread to 2018 or summat? There are two threads with the same title atm, your original for last year and this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 4, 2018 You can if you want, but it's not recommended at all, especially since there are currently only 50 names that I can confirm as joker's. FYI, if anyone has a joker that isn't on the list, please let me know so I have less work to do when the first update drops... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 4, 2018 @Phantom of the Midway Who's your joker for your slavic theme team. I am assuming your politics one is McCain (though someone else already picked him as there joker as well)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 5, 2018 And the death of Rayya Elias shows why you shouldn't make your team before the first DDP update. She wouldn't have scored you points anyhow if you did make your team now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 14, 2018 I would like to once again remind you that once you can start choosing your teams, you can't select people who are already dead. Bobby Zarin becomes the next confirmed joker to die, so I wanted to make that clear... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 19, 2018 Just a heads up, I know that a DDP update is coming very soon. There are already five people that I know are jokers from forum research this year that has already died! Anyways, I wanted to bring this up because if the first update is sometime tomorrow between 6:00 AM Central Time and 4:00 PM central time, then you’re going to have to wait for me to come back from an event before I can count all the other jokers and open this dead pool up. I will also be reducing the time of entry to one week so this dead pool can start up before the end of January. Anyways, whenever this opens, good luck everyone this year. At the very least, you should beat your host, as my team is random this year... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 20, 2018 Not on a computer right now, so it will be a while before this can start. You’ll know it’ll have opened once I post my randomized team... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 21, 2018 The list is finalized. 235 jokers in total with 6 dead, which means a drop of 29 names from last. Now that my randomized list is below (sigh, I even drew one of the dead names), the entries can now be entered until the 28th. Frankland, William Higgs, Peter Mitchell, Joni Lynam, Des Conway, Noel Jones, Freddie Osbourne, Ozzy Brown, June Bracknell, Leah Fox, Michael J Palmer, Geoffrey Cameron, Earl Campion, Charles Houston, Thelma Rumsfeld, Donald Al-Baghdadi, Abu Bakr (joker) Byrne, Gay Sondheim, Stephen Kripke, Saul Shatner, William Ayckbourn, Alan Jones, Terry Poitier, Sidney Zeffirelli, Franco Masekela, Hugh Carrington, Peter De Havilland, Olivia Eden, Barbara Williams, Shirley Cribbins, Bernard Ford, Doug Kelly, Elizabeth Newton-John, Olivia Atkins, Ronald Previn, Andre (joker) Franklin, Aretha Cole, Richard Attenborough, David (joker) Phillips, Sian Moore, Sara Jane Floyd, James C (joker) Price, Amy Harper, Valerie (joker) Duvall, Robert Anthony, Ray Cryne, Patrick Frere, Albert Mugabe, Robert Briggs, Johnny Conway, Tim Five subs: Fabray, Nannette Nevin, Catherine Worcester, Robert Nicholson, Jack Weinstein, Harvey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,212 Posted January 21, 2018 A little small analysis from my team. People who returned to my team the second year in a row are Olivia de Havilland, Doug Ford, Leah Bracknell, Robert Mugabe, and Richard Cole. Now, some of you might try to chant to tell me to change my team since Bracknell, Zeffirelli, Price, and Cryne made the top 50. But let me remind you last time that Peter Skellern, Steve Hewlett, and Lisa Magill were on my team, and did that do me too well? No, not at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
