[Fire-Babe]

Since 2008 is coming to a close, and I haven't seen anything OOver there, screw them, we'll have our own. But I'ma stealing the rules.

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.

2. Points for each one 100-age when they died. Tie breaker is how high you've ranked them on your list.

3. Lists to me via PM by midnight, EST, December 31. 2008. 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.

[Pun]

Tex started one OOver there.

[Mikey]

Fuck him.

Well, I wasn't going to say it...

I checked OO last night I think (or late afternoon I think?) and didn't see one. If y'all wanna play there, that's fine.

[The Canadian Content]

Im in here. I don't post over there anymore.

One question: if it's the 2009 deadpool, shouldn't lists be submitted by Dec 31? That's 3 weeks to compile a list, which should be more than enough time.

[Angle]

I agree, the deadline should be December 31

[Mikey]

I'm not submitting one til the very last minute, because my big hitter (Bhutto) got knocked off like four days before the turn of the calendar last year.

[The Canadian Content]

I'm sure you can throw in a last-minute sub if someone on your list dies before the, uh, deadline.

[Fire-Babe]

Okay, 12/31 it is. Don't expect me to have shit posted on 1/1 though, I plan on being hungover.

and yes, last minute substitutions if a choice kicks off before 1/1/2009 12:01 am are okay.

[Andy]

Are you really gonna take my game from OOver there and do it here? Because I'm gonna have to object to that.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I'm in

[BTR]

I'll do both message boards. BITCHES ON ONE SIDE, HOS ON THE OTHER! WOO WOO!!!

[Fire-Babe]

Is Punshouse the bitches or the hos?

[Habs]

I'll give it a try

[salmonjunkie]

Like Cory, I'll be a bisexual and ride both sides of the fence.

[BC]

I'm in. I never seem to pick anyone that dies, so maybe I should pick people I like & save them from Hel.

[creepy]

I'm in.

[Deleted]

Count me in, too.

[Fire-Babe]

To be fair, I won't look at anyone's list until they're all in, so they aren't influencing my list. I've started adding the names of the lists I've received in the first post.

Oh, and to refer to a conversation on eligibility going on OOver there, all public officials are eligible. All of 'em. Even Him.

God?

[creepy]

His Infernal Majesty?

[Fire-Babe]

There's a discussion about our next president, and whether it's appropriate for him to be eligible, or whether or not that'd be in bad taste. Pause to consider the irony of this game somehow being concerned about taste.

Plenty of folks had our current president on their list last year, if I remember right. Even if I don't, I don't care. He's eligible.

[Fire-Babe]

Oh, I should add, i am opening the PM, to make sure it's not a question or suggestion or something, but if I see it's a list, i'ma closing it right away.

[Byrntrigan]

I'm in.

[Angle]

I'm in. List sent.
