For your first five picks, you can draft an "exclusive" - this person is someone that only you are allowed to have on your death pool list. After we each have 5 exclusives picked, the draft is over. After that, you can add up to 20 more non-exclusive names of whatever celebrity/athlete/famous person/notable figure you want. Wikipedia page must be 1000 words or longer. For each person you pick that dies in the calendar year of 2013-2014, you get (100 - age of death) points. I'll keep track in another post and whoever has the most points at the end wins.

Non exclusives:

Topher: Fred Phelps Sr. Fats Domino Marilyn Manson Jerry West Deacon Jones Martin Scrosese Pope Benedict hilary Clinton Joe Namath Dalai Llama Julie Andrews Jerry Jones Keith Richards Roger Daughtry Mean Joe Greene Lou Carnesecca Denny Crum Pat Summit Morgan Wootten Jose Canseco

Deepdarkblue: Russell Crowe Scott Hall John Madden Jerry Lewis Glen Campbell Max von Sydow Penny Marshall David Bowie Zsa Zsa Gabor Hillary Clinton Abe Vigoda Tommy Lasorda Efrem Zimbalist, Jr Carol Channing Jerry Stiller George "The Animal" Steele Greg Valentine James Lee Burke Frankie Muniz

AiW:Prince Philip Willie Mays Hosni Mubarak Ric Flair Fats Domino Ahmadinejad Fred Phelps Paris Hilton Meatloaf Mick Jagger Mary Tyler Moore Dick Van Dyke Liza Minelli Joan Rivers Mylie Cyrus Tara Reid Dick Butkus Ed Koch Jack Nicholson Bobby Bowden

bfactor: 61
Topher: 34
Deepdarkblue: 31
ckc: 30
rollins: 18

Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Rollins

Can I take Larry Hagman?
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Rollins

He's still alive?

Does that mean that if someone picks correctly that someone older than 100 dies, he actually loses points for being correct? Kind of a "wasted the dungeon master's time" type of penalty?

After the demise by gun in recent years of Trevor Berbick, Arturo Gatti, Alexis Arguello, and now Macho Comacho, I imagine boxers 10 years or so into retirement will be popular draft picks.

Personally, I could never participate in a dead pool b/c I'd feel guilty if I was right about anyone. But I'm a willing spectator.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Rollins

Also, football players 10 years into retirement or so.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Rollins

Round 1, Pick 1: Muhammad Ali
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Ck86

great pick and a sad pick
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Ck86

I'm going with Amanda Bynes for ultimate risk reward.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

Did I pass out or something? I have zero memory of editing this thread
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

Sorry Dson, saw CK's post and was trying to help. You got it!
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

No it's fine. Probably better that way too. Just so used seeing "last edited by _____". Guess admins have super secret powers.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

Racist, bfactor.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

Oh, I never noticed that. It doesn't show admin edits. If I ever update it, I'll edit that part too to reflect it.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Deepdarkblue

I'm playing it safe: Billy Graham
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Johaad

Macaulay Culkin.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Johaad

I was about to type "Here's hoping", but decided that would sound bad.
 
Re: Duke-forum Death Pool 2013 - Your pick Burymencameron

What are the chances I can come in with the 10th pick?
