*Note: Change of plans – the Deadpool for 2008 is being held on Facebook. Most of you should have an invite there, but if not feel free to search up “Rick’s 2008 Deadpool” and join.
At long last, told you I’d put it up! Lying below are the 2007 deathpool entries from myself, Cliff, and House. If I’ve missed any stiffs in the totals give me the heads-up!
In the meantime, the time has come! This time, everyone send them to the right e-mail address so I don’t have to fire up an old computer system to see them. Failure to send them to rickjessupATgmailDOTcom will result in forfeit of entry. The rules, as thieved from last year:
Playing is easy – just e-mail me 25 famous people you think may pass from the living in 2008. Should this unfortunate incident take place we will offer our condolences to their families and award you points totaling the age they retire at from 100.
A few small rules. I will no longer warn you if you pick someone over 100. Yes, if you pick someone who is 102 and they die, you’ll lose two points. You will get no points for picking someone who is already appointed to die, ie. Saddam Hussein. You will, however, earn points if you pick someone currently lying on their deathbed. You give, you take. The person must be nationally famous, so your sick Aunt Bertie isn’t a suitable pick. You can not kill a person you picked and still expect points, this is immoral. However, if you kill someone those points will be awarded to your opponents AND you go to jail. Murder is bad.
