Despite death being slightly less removed for me than it was last year...why not.

Rules

1. Twenty names of "celebrities" or other newsworthy people. I believe Death Pool Dave defines this as anyone for whom the AP would publish an obituary.

1a. Be specific. There are two Billy Grahams and there are two Jerry Lewises. And two Stings. There's probably others.

1b. If it's someone important-but-obscure, it's your job to tell me if they die. With link.

2. Points: (100-age+ranking). Your number one pick is 20 points, number 2 is 19, etc. So order matters! In case of a tie, we go with who has the more people crossed off. If it's still tied, then we go with who has the highest ranked person crossed off.

3. Lists to me via PM by midnight, EST, December 31, 2016. I'll post them all here after they are all in.

4. If you send me your list and a person on it dies BEFORE the deadline, you can substitute.

5. The Creepy Rule: Send me your list in order from your number one pick to your number 20 pick. You can list them by order or by point value, but who ever is on top (or immediately to the left if you decide to get cute and put them all in a big line) is your number one pick.

6. Celebrities who are 100+ are ineligible. (Kirk Douglas, Olivia de Haviland are two from 2016 lists). If you put someone on your list who turns 100 in 2017, you cannot replace them after the year starts if they make it to their birthday.

New rule 6

[Fire-Babe]

Only snels picked Donald Trump. I don't know what that says about the rest of us.

[Matte]

We're either optimistic or pessimistic, depending on your opinion...

[Fire-Babe]

Guess he won't have to worry about going to prison. Anglefan first on the board.

[Angle]

I am honestly surprised that more people didn't have him, he was essentially on death's door as of last year.

[wyattcox]

Looks like points to Matte, Lizzy, and Angle. Mary Tyler Moore dead at 80.

[Fire-Babe]

I'm really starting to worry about Matte.

[L!zz~]

Angel's total needs to be updated.

[L!zz~]

Iconic actor John Hurt. Olivander from Harry Potter, the War Doctor from Doctor Who and so, so much more. Nominated for the Elephant Man

[Matte]

One from my list here: www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/feb/06/joost-van-der-westhuizen-south-africa-rugby-great-dies

I don't care if I'm the only one that has him on the list, don't you even think about it, you are not saying goodbye to us!

I was talking about Vader. I embedded a tweet where he stated that he was in the final days of his life. The tweet seems to have been deleted for some reason, though.

[Angle]

This is not a good week for wrestling. Now we've lost Ivan Koloff to liver cancer.

[Matte]

One from my list: Lynne Stewart at 77. www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/08/519229100/lynne-stewart-defender-of-infamous-defendants-dies-at-77

[Matte]

Small correction: Lynne was my #3, not my #2.

[Fire-Babe]

fixed...sorry about that!
