    I'll give it a week for sign-ups, it will be the same rules as last year. Any help is appreciated. Just reply and add your name to the list.

    Question: Will the draft thread be separate? If so, players should be required to select Watch Thread and also choose Email Notifications just so there's no sour grapes when they get passed up in the draft.

    Yes, draft thread will be separate so good idea about everyone selecting notifications. I'll have the draft thread started some time Monday.

    It will be the same rules as last year, guess I'll just throw them up here. I know we had the 10 point bonus for 1st death but adding 25 points if your pick offs themselves. If you have a problem with a rule let it be known and we can discuss to see what the majority think.

    Rules:

    You get points based on the age of the person you select should they die, for example Charlie Sheen is 50 years old, you would subtract 50 from 100 and that leaves you with 50 points. Martin Sheen is 75, you would subtract 75 from 100 and that leaves you with 25. Bonus for first death of 10 points and 25 points for a suicide.

    The person selected must be a celebrity, politician or athlete. No terrorists, no people on death row and no animals. There would be a panel of myself and another 2 posters who were interested in being an admin to determine whether or not the selected person qualifies as a celebrity. For example nobody knows who the drummer of some crappy band is but everyone knows who the drummer of Def Leppard is. Obviously these things are subjective which is why I would have 2 other well known posters to help judge.

    You will get 5 picks and the pool will end on January 1, 2018

    There would be a snake draft and you will have 10 hours from the time the last pick is made. Should you miss your pick you will have to wait until the end of the round to pick and should you miss twice you will be removed and your picks will be forfeited and cannot be picked up by any other players.

    I guess we need 2 others to help with decide on questionable picks. Let me know if you want to help out.

    I'd like to help, but the idea about notifications was partly for me to get back to these threads. As much time as I've wasted on this forum, it's running out lately.

    Btw, love the rule about no terrorists. I believe that probably came about because of that dumb fuckhole Rebel Mike, who selected nothing but terrorists one year.

    I can take care of most everything except will need help if there is a questionable pick. Last year we had Satan in who, being on the other side of the globe, made a few picks that most had never heard of. Valid picks if you ask me but they were still questioned by some. Just want to make sure I am not the only one making the call.

    I can't take credit for the no terrorists, the rules are almost all Barry, I just added the first death and suicide bonus points.

    I better start on my draft board if I want to defend my title.

    You're invited to join of course, was just going off memory at that moment. Then again looking at the 2016 roster now, it looks like you were the only one I left off. Apologies.

    Did you happen to check my picks from last years Death Pool? I am Beelzebub, Jormungand and Moloch all rolled into one. I'll dance a jig with Satan without fear.
