If I was going to pick someone to do the pool, you'd have been in the top 7 or 8. I had a list of 15, but they were all ineligible because they were all P&Bers, which is against the rules. In the end, I couldn't think of 15 celebrities who might want to run our Dead Pool for us. In fact, Jim Davidson was the only one I could think of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Have a few changes in mind but my captain and VC are my biggest headaches. Thanks for taking this up, Miguel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 One note to make for anyone sending in lists - If multiple celebrities share the name of someone you pick and you don't specify who it is, I'm going to default to the top result for their name on Wikipedia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thoroughly enjoyed my sunday afternoon watching football/drinking/researching for deadpool. Is there a better way to spend a sunday afternoon ???? Can see some of this season's lightweights being ditched unless the buck the feck up.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Just a couple of rule queries in order to get these things clarified beforehand. What is the situation regarding folks who die 12 hours either side of New Year? If someone in Australia dies at 11pm GMT on December 31st 2018, which is well into 2019 in Oz time, do they get counted for the 2018 or 2019 Dead Pool? Local time is 2019, but the 2019 competition hasn't technically started yet. Are these counted in one year or another , or is this some form of Dead Pool Limbo where nobody gets points? Or all-inclusive, where the person dies in both years? Also, regarding astronauts - if someone dies in outer space, how is their local time of death calculated? The obvious date would be the date and time of day at the corresponding point on the earth's surface if you project from the Earth's surface outwards to their place of death? I'm guessing that the probability of an astronaut in orbit dying within 12 hours of their birthday is very small but there have been space-based fatalities, and NASA has sent up a 77-year old John Glenn before.

Local time. I put that rule in mainly out of consideration for future years run by me, but for this transition I'll include anyone dying in 2019 - anywhere - if they were picked beforehand, GMT, local time rules apply if a launch of some sort fails.

I tried working once, I can't say I took to it. I'll stick to my trophy husband gig, guess the only downside is I have to pick my dead pool squad from my sofa instead of an office. I'll learn to live with it I suppose. Edited December 20, 2018 by chomp my root 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
