Chris Moss Acid Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 The Rules » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « THE BASICS: * Pick 10 different celebrities who are alive as at 1st January 2008, but who, in your opinion, will no longer be with us by 31st December 2008. * Nominate one of them as your "joker". * For each celeb demise that you guess correctly, you'll score points, and if your joker sadly passes away, your grief will be alleviated by the fact that you'll score double points. * The Person with the most points at the end of the year will, unsurprisingly, be deemed to be the winner. * In the event of a dead heat on points, the winner will be selected according to the following criteria, applied in this order: o The most hits (i.e. correctly-chosen deceased celebs). o The youngest average age of hits. OTHER RULES: * All of your chosen celebs must be: o Human. o At least 16 years old as at 1st January 2007. o Actual real-life people, not characters out of soap operas and the like. o Named individuals, not just "Pope Wotsisface" or "the oldest person in the world". * Players must not murder their chosen celebs. That's cheating, and cheating is wrong. * The date of death is taken as that in the country/region where the person died, i.e. local time is used. If the time of death is reported as exactly midnight local time, the date of the day just beginning is used. This may be relevant in deciding bonuses (see below). DEFINITIONS: * "Celebrity" means someone who, upon their death, gets a written obituary in a British national newspaper or on the BBC News website. This does mean that you can't always be sure when picking your team whether each person will be famous enough or not, but that's all part of the game. * "Obituary" simply means an article which mentions the fact that the person has died. It doesn't have to be the conventional biographical write-up. * "Alive" means drawing breath, not decomposing, that kind of thing. * "No longer with us" is the opposite of the above. * "Death" means the transition from the former to the latter. The death of a career (e.g. Michael Jackson) doesn't count. SCORING: The value of the basic death depends on the person's age: 16-29 years: 12 points 30-49 years: 10 points 50-59 years: 9 points 60-69 years: 8 points 70-79 years: 7 points 80-89 years: 6 points 90-99 years: 5 points 100-109 years: 4 points 110+ years: 3 points On top of this, bonus points are awarded as follows: Unique pick: +1 if you were the only competitor to pick that person. Unlucky 13: +2 for a celeb who dies on the 13th of any month. Unnatural causes: +3 for murder, suicide or accident (but not State executions). Party pooper: +5 for a celeb who dies on their birthday or Xmas Day. Joker: Take the total of all the above and double it. 1.Clint Eastwood 2.Fidel Castro [Joker] 3.George Bush snr 4.Ravi Shankar 5.Paul Newman 6.Chuck Berry 7.Charlton Heston 8.Patrick Moore 9.Michael Foot 10.Queen Eilizabeth II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
