Inspired by the Mandela thread.

Sorry Harcus

If you haven't played before (or you want to refresh your memory), as the name suggests this is a competition where you pick 15 famous folk who you think will draw their last breath in 2013.

It's free to enter and with no prizes other than the satisfaction of being a wee bit like the grim reaper.

There are rules:

-Teams contain 15 picks. One pick is a "captain" who scores bonus points should they die.

-You can't pick the same person more than once.

-The game starts at midnight on January 1st 2013 and runs until December 31st 2013. Entries have to be in before then.

-People have to be sufficiently famous that their death makes a UK-based national news source such as BBC, national (not local) newspapers, Reuters UK.

-Picks have to be human, real people (no soap opera characters etc) and over 18 years of age on 1/1/12.

-You're not allowed to pick people under sentence of death.

-You're not allowed to pick someone famous *purely* for being ill. This one has caused a bit of confusion before- you're allowed to pick someone well known who has –for example- cancer, and indeed this is a good strategy. This rule is about not picking right-to-die patients or folk that are raising loads of money for charity as they're about to die.

-You're not allowed to kill any of your picks. Murder is baaaad , mkay?

-If you pick someone that's already dead I'll try and let you know but the overall responsibility for your team is yours.

Scoring

Each "hit" is worth a base score of 125 points minus the person's age.

BONUS OPPORTUNITIES:

"First Blood" - First pick overall to die in the year gets bonus of 25 points for each person who had them
"Solo Shot" - If you're the only one with a pick who dies("Solo Shot"), you get a bonus of 30 points.
"Deadly duo", 20 points for being one of two with that pick
"Rest in Peace Prize" - Ten bonus point if they won a Nobel Peace Prize.
"Deadly December" - Double base points for any score in December.
"Last Gasp" - Last pick overall to die in the year gets bonus of 25 points per person who had them.
"Captain Calamity"- 50 bonus points if your captain snuffs it.
"Unnatural causes"- 30 points if your pick is murdered, commits suicide, or dies in an accident.
"Grand Slam" - Clear your entire roster and get 1000000000000 bonus points. This won't happen, so I don't know why we persist with it. I've upped the bonus points accordingly.

In summary

PM me your 15 picks including captain, their DoBs, and their reason for fame if it's not obvious (I know who Margaret Thatcher is) by 31st December 2012 and I should have the lists up when I'm back to work on the 3rd. If you want to change your squad before that point you can.

Any questions, stick them below.

Best Regards,
Karl :rangers: :rangers:

[tup]

You're sick.

[Stoney]

FatJim has copywrite on this! He will kill you!

[Karl Fletcher]

I have no idea who FatJim is!

[tup]

It's all a bit complicated, how can you be arsed putting all that together?

 

Are there any prizes is my main concern?

 

If so, I'll get Harcus to enter for me, man loves a tilt at a freebie.

[Dynamo]

No way you wrote that Karl.

 

Can't be arsed reading it.

 

Why not just keep it simple eh?

[tommo1903]

This sounds good.

 

Why does it have to be a PM? Surely its more fun if we can see who everyone else has picked?

[Karl Fletcher]

Fucking hell lads, it's nae really complicated at all is it?

 

You pick 15 folk, send me them and I'll do the rest.

 

The rules are online after a quick google.

I'll post up everyone's picks after the deadline

[robbojunior]

It should be 4 picks, not 15.

 

I think it should be 6 picks

 

tell you what, i'll give you three, and then another two if you need them.

[tup]

Craig Brown

Archie Knox

 

That's my first 2.

[Redstar]

Bast*rd!!

[Dynamo]

Sent you 15 anyway. I expect at least half of them to pop their clogs next year. Sandy Jardine is a nap.

[tup]

I take no pleasure from having exposed him, but he's a fraud alright.

 

At least Dick Turpin had the good grace to wear a mask.

Excellent.

 

You have my 15.

[Karl Fletcher]

Some cracking entries already

[tommo1903]

I'll more than likely make some changes before the year end.

[Karl Fletcher]

Not a bother chaps.

 

Changes can be made right up until midnight on December 31st.

[Dynamo]

Hopefully my 15 can hold off until the New Year.

 

The booze over the festive period may be too much for some

[Crossbow]

Can you put in football teams (which are generally composed of humans) or do they have to be simply single people - I just have a wee feeling about a few teams

[Karl Fletcher]

They need to be people I'm afraid bud.

 

Otherwise it would be too easy

[Liam]

Fabrice Muamba is my captain

[tup]

Clangers in goals Liam?

[The Boofon]

PM Sent.

 

My Captain is a fucking belter.

[Karl Fletcher]

FFS Boofon

 

It's not in the rules so I'll allow it
