Rules:
- Pick twenty people you think will
die (one to ten are in rounds, the 11th round will consist of you
naming 10 people at once). Points awarded for a correctly
predicted death will depend on that person's position on your
list. If the #1 person on your list dies, you receive 20
points. If the #20 person eats it, you receive 1 point and so on.
- The time limit is one year. For
any death on your list to count, that person must die within the
time limit.
- Age factor bonus will reward
risky, youthful predictions. When you make a correct prediction,
you'll receive a bonus tenth of a point (0.1) for every year that
person falls short of their 100th birthday. Therefore, if the
person dies when he/she is 65, you will receive a bonus 3.5
points.
- Stereotypical Disease: As an
option, you can add a stereotypical disease next to a persons
name, such as Hepatitis C or Scurvy. If that person succumbs
to that disease within the time limit, you will receive a bonus of
2.5x your point total. Note that this same rule applies to drug overdoses since
pussies refer to drug addiction as a disease. In reality, people
who can't handle their drugs are bitches, but in terms of The
Reply-All Dead Pool, we'll agree with the pussies for now and
count an overdose as a Stereotypical Disease.
- Instead of a Stereotypical
Disease, you can predict the person to die of old age, which, if
correct, is a bonus of 1.5x your point total. Old age is
boring, that's why it has a low multiplier.
- Unnatural Death: Like the
Stereotypical Disease rule, you can choose to specify if the
person on your list will die from unnatural causes, such as a
plane crash, car crash, or gorilla attack. Since this is much
more risky and completely random, you will receive a bonus of 3.5x
your point total if you are correct. Just be warned that this
could be considered throwing your bonus opportunity away.
- Whoever has the most people die on
their list in a year gets 15 bonus points added to their total.
- Obviously, everyone on your list
must be alive at the start of the Reply-All Dead Pool. I am
making this a rule because you're all a bunch of CHEATS and
someone will pick a guy no one's ever heard of before for their
list who's probably already dead.
Addendum: If you pick a dead person, you are
REQUIRED to record yourself via webcam/cell phone/whatever
shotgunning a beer at your desk at work. If you do not do
this, you automatically get -50 points in your total score for the
year. If you think this is unfair, fuck you, you picked a guy
who's already dead. Research your picks a little bit.
- You cannot list someone more than
once. Using a dead celebrity from last year as an example, it
would be illegal to list Johnny Cash ten times on your list
because you figured he was going to drop any day. No repeats.
Should be obvious, but I'm getting rid of the loophole from the
get go.
- You cannot pick a person on death
row. That is a guaranteed death and you are a CHEAT.
- You cannot pick someone in a coma.
- You cannot pick someone who is on
trial for crimes of humanity (like a terrorist), because they will
be found guilty and they will be executed, giving you an almost
guaranteed death. No argument, this is the rule, tough shit.
- For the love of fuck, if you draft
someone who has already been taken, fucking castrate yourself. I
mean come on. Pay attention.
