| The Reply-All Dead Pool
Rules:
- Pick ten people you think will die,
draft-style. 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 10 points. If the #10 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. If it is well
known that this person has this disease, you will get a bonus of 1.25x
your point total. If you pick the correct terminal disease and it
wasn't known that the person had said disease at the time of the draft,
you will receive a bonus of 2.5x your point total. Note that these
same rules apply 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 1.25x your point total.
- 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.
- 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. And it's not like you can
get away with this anyway.
- 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.
