brace yourselves, kids
it's time for
CELEBRITY DEATH LOTTERY 2011
dark_knight_joker_gal-thumb-500x333-10532.jpg

This is an awesome fun game that I play with other people and I thought it'd be cool to try it on a larger forum (SE++ guinea pig test). Some people may get mad because it's us benefitting and taking sincere pleasure in the deaths of people but hey, they're gonna die anyway, so we might as well do what we can to make their passing happy and peaceful.

Ok Teefour, I enjoy taking pride in people's misery. How do we play?

WELL LET ME TELL YOU HOW TO PLAY

You pick 10 celebrities that you think are going to die this year. They can be anything; musicians, movie stars, politicians, whatever, and you rank them from 1 - 10 (1 being the most likely to die, 10 being the least). If one of them passes away you get points for their death. You get 120 points for their death, minus the age of the celebrity, plus a bonus based on where they were on your list. In addition, we play with a little wildcard known as DOOM MONTH. You pick a month of the year; you get 10 additional points for every celebrity that you picked that dies in that month.

if enough people decide to indulge in a little sadistic pleasure I'll make sure there's a prize at the end of the year or something for the winner

BONUS POINT STRUCTURE

1st - 10 points
2nd - 9 points
3rd - 8 points
etc etc

WHO IS EXCITED

I BET YOU'RE EXCITED

I'll keep signups open until January 26th. In the sad event one of your chosen celebrities dies before the deadline, you can mulligan swap them out for someone else. But the 26th is when choices are locked and the GAMES BEGIN.

so

pick who you want dead this year.

    Hey, if they didn't want to get picked to die in some sort of stupid list, they wouldn't have made a movie about celebrities getting picked to die in stupid lists.
