Rules are pretty simple. You pick something like 15-30 famous people (from sports, arts, industry, entertainment, politics, etc) that you predict have the highest likelihood of dying in the calendar year of 2013. We could even have a draft where we take turns picking. Or just let anyone use anyone they want. Or, my favorite, have a list of 50 "top" names to choose from with exclusive rights to, and then fill out the rest of the lists with whoever we want. That's what i'm leaning towards. That way we all don't have a bunch of the same names like Lindsay Lohan.
Scoring system I like gives you (100 - age of death) points for every pick you get correct. Etc, so 13 points if an 87 year old you predicted dies, but 60 if a 40 year old you predicted dies.
Definition of "famous" will be hardest to define. Let's just say, they have to have a wikipedia page with at minimum 1000 words.
Tell me if you're interested and i'll get things going.
