(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?

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

Or a tiered point system based on age.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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