RM Celebrity Death Pool Tourney 2021 Sign-Up Thread

[VinylGuy]

fuck im in...its really confusing tough...every celebrity in the whole fucking world?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Would love to hear other people's input on some of the mechanics here. Add/drop once a month or every other month? (I'm leaning towards the latter so that it doesn't feel like we're always drafting.) Should you be able to immediately add if someone on your list croaks, or wait until the next add/drop? 5 people for each drafter enough?

will there be any restrictions or qualifications based on age of selections?

[BurtReynolds]

If we are the cause of death, it still counts, right?

It should count double

[Mickey]

Absolutely fucking in

[Mickey]

I appreciate the invite ST, but this is not for me. But I do look forward to occasionally judging you all for your engagement.

Missing a chance to only pick evil people and then doubly benefit from their deaths

[BurtReynolds]

should have to pick one person under 50.

should have to pick one person under 50.

Or a tiered point system based on age.

Or a tiered point system based on age.

90+ = 1 point
80-89 = 2 points
70-79 = 3 points
etc.

[Mickey]

Yeah exactly. If you pick a 90+ person, fine, one point, but if you pick a Disney Channel star you should get 10 points

[Simple Torture]

I've been thinking about tiered scoring, not sure yet.

I do have one person in their 30s on my long list.

[Simple Torture]

We are already at 9. I won't stop at 10, but I'll pause sign-uos tomorrow morning so we can start drafting soon.

[Simple Torture]

Should we do 5 picks each or is that not enough? 8?

[Mickey]

If my top pick dies tonight I swear to God

[Mickey]

Explain to me the swapping in/out process. If there's a lot of turnover maybe smaller teams make sense.

So every 2 months you'll be allowed to drop and add someone else, or if someone on your list has died you can then replace them with a new pick (is what I'm thinking). If we start the draft 1/2, then we'd open up this drop/add period 3/2, 5/2, etc, with the last chance to drop/add on 11/2. These will be "draft-like," not a free-for-all. I'll iron out the details later. Should people who have picked correctly get to pick first? I think so, it'd be a good reward/advantage.

I'm leaning towards 6 rounds.

[bada]

This contest is disgusting but I love drafts so I'm in.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

just tell us the fucking rules

[Mickey]

Six rounds sounds good. Everyone can swap one person every two months. I would lean towards like a waiver position style--if we do tiered points whoever is lowest gets to swap first.

[Mickey]

Any limits on who counts as a celebrity? Politicians okay?
