Thank you @Brook! for updating the thread title. The 2025 Death Pool is now underway, well actually it is perpetual so it started as soon as 2024 champ was crowned. Any current players your picks are in effect until you decide to change them in the draft. You can keep all your current picks if you like and just run them back. Same rules will apply, you get 10 extra points for the first qualifying death, 10 extra points for a suicide and 20 extra points if murdered. 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 posters to help judge. This will be a snake draft and we will use the following order, for those that tied worth 0 points last year I went alphabetical for the order. We'll start officially on the 5th to see if we can add a few entries but 1st picker can always start early. Here is the draft order and below that will be your current slate of picks. @JackBower @jetophile @Jets OG fan @Section 336 @FJF @Savatage @The Waterboy @BrowningNagle @Section 336 Vanessa Redgrave 86 Charlie Sheen 57 Harvey Weinstein 70 Woody Allen 87 Gene Hackman 92 @BrowningNagle Tom Brokaw 83 Ted Turner 85 Tila Tequila 41 Don King 91 Andy Dick 56 @JackBower Patrick Leahy 83 Delonte West 40 Joe Arapaio 90 Oscar Robinson 85 Christopher Walken 79 Tim Curry 77 Steven Tyler 74 @FJF Bill Cosby 85 George Soros 92 Jerry Sandusky 78 Marv Levy 97 Daniel Hernandez AKA 6ix9ine 26 Buzz Aldrin 92 @The Waterboy Dick Cheney 81 Vladimir Putin 70 Joe Bugner 73 Josef Fritzl 88 Pope Francis 87 Linda Nolan 64 @Savatage Jack Nicholson 85 Bruce Willis 69 Bob Eubanks 86 Ozzy Osbourne 74 Keith Richards 78 Al Roker 68 @jetophile Lester Holt 65 Mary Lou Retton 56 Chet Hanks 33 Rocco Ritchie 23 Deborah Norville 65 Jeremy London 51 Frankie Munoz 38 @Jets OG fan Donald Trump 78 Mitch McConnel 82 Mary-Kate Olsen 38 Clint Eastwood 94 Robert Downey Jr 59 Joe Maldonado (Joe Exotic) 61 Lawrence Taylor 65 Those with empty lines in your list of picks are where your hits from last year were. Good luck to all, happy hunting.
