Death Race 2011

#

Started by Dermot

Death Race 7 - 2011 Edition

Here be the rules:

1) Pick TWENTY celebrities who you think are going to pop their clogs in 2011.

2) The only restrictions are that they have to be real people, 18+, and can’t be on death row / scheduled for execution.

3) The score you get for a death depends on the celebrity’s AGE as follows:

18-29 years: 12 points
30-49 years: 10 points
50-59 years: 9 points
60-69 years: 8 points
70-79 years: 7 points
80-89 years: 6 points
90-99 years: 5 points
100-109 years: 4 points
110+ years: 3 points

4) BONUS points are awarded as follows:

Unique pick: +3 if you were the only competitor to pick that person.
Unlucky 13: +2 for a celeb who dies on the 13th of any month.
Unnatural causes: +3 for murder, suicide or accident (but not State executions).
Party pooper: +5 for a celeb who dies on their birthday or Xmas Day (date of death is that of the region where they died).
Joker: Nominate one of your celebs as joker - if your joker dies you get double points for that person.

5) They must be famous enough to get a major news website obituary or to have a wikipedia entry that isn’t a stub (don’t think any WOMbles would be sad enough to create their own page!)

6) In the event of a tie, the following criteria is used in this order:

a) The most correctly-chosen deceased celebs.
b) The youngest average age of hits.
c) The first to score points that year.

7) The deadline is 28th Jan (but we won’t be too strict with that)

8) Remember to check that your entrants aren’t already dead!

9) Committing murder is cheating

10) Good luck! :-)

HALL OF FAME:

2005: Deadsetgav
2006: Ci?
2007: sp
2008: The Autosurgeon
2009: Caffinebomb
2010: Jobrok

Always thought he was a great actor in anything I’ve seen him in - RIP Pete!

Also, Tubthumper had this guy last year who seems to be “wobbling”:

By the way, put Thatcher on the list.

Move aside bitches.

Daddy’s back!

I’m going with the remains of my decimated 2009 list (except the ones who no longer look like they’ll die), some smart looking picks from other lists, and a handful of randomers thrown in for good measure.

Good luck everyone!

1) Kirk Douglas
2) Margaret Thatcher
3) Zsa Zsa Gabor
4) Chuck Berry
5) Michael Douglas
6) Kim Jong Il
7) Fidel Castro
8) Jimmy Carter
9) David Arquette
10) Jim Hellwig (Ultimate Warrior)
11) Hacksaw Jim Duggan
12) Sir Peter Tapsell (MP for Horncastle and Louth)
13) Peter Sallis
14) Dame Vera Lynn
15) Katy Perry
16) Russel Brand
17) Ringo Starr
18) Owen Wilson
19) Abdullah the Butcher
20) Bobby Heenan

Retired Wrestlers are always good value for money, they drop like flies, especially the ‘roid freaks. The elderly are fair game, and if I was shagging Katy Perry it would certainly finish me off. Go to it team.
