2008 ES death pool

[Heidenreich]

The latest Britney Spears debacle has spawned this thread.

I figure we can do this "fantasy football" style. Everybody gets 2 picks. Snake draft. After that, everyone will get one "wild card" pick. That pick is a person who it's a complete shock if they die.

THE RULES:

Each "drafted" pick that turns out to be correct is worth 2 points.

A correct "wild card" pick is worth 5 points.

When a pick is deemed correct, that person gets to pick another to replace him/her.

Whoever has the highest point total on 1/1/09 is the winner

CURRENT SCORES:

Bang: 4 points
SkinsTerps26: 4 points
Heidenreich: 2 points
OldSkool: 2 points
d0ublestr0ker0ll: 2 points
PleaseBlitz: 2 points
spjunkies: 2 points

[Toe Jam]

I'm in for sure..

[SkinsOrlando]

Count me in

[PleaseBlitz]

Count me in too. Ive got my picks already.

[Forehead]

I can't possibly turn down anything this morbid. I'm in.

[Mufumonk]

Count me in.

[skinfan2k]

I was gonna set up Hottie Draft 2008 soon. Thats much better IMO

[Stophovr6]

Can I be in it?

[Heidenreich]

Can I be in it?

Sure. Anyone can be in it.

[China]

I'm in.

BTW, I think it's more likely that Britney gets pregnant again than dies. Of course you get the trifecta if she gets pregnant and then kills herself and her unborn child.

[DGreenistheBest]

When do we start?

I was gonna set up Hottie Draft 2008 soon. Thats much better IMO

I'm in on that too.

[Heidenreich]

I'm in.

Now that you put it out there, the odds are even money that somebody picks Britneys unborn child in this pool....

When do we start?

I figure we can take signups through today & probably the weekend. We'll celebrate MLK day by having the draft then.

There are enough people out there that we can have 15/20 people in this thing at least.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

count me in!

[BassMaster24]

Count me in!!!!!!!! I got in 1 on the local radio station,and we also do 1 @ work with all old people in town.I know sounds sick.but hey it kills time.

[DGreenistheBest]

Cool, what are the rules going to be? No shared picks, I take it. Will there be some sort of tiebreaker, like out of one of your three picks, also pick the date you think they will die?
