Death Race 2012 on Wall of Mouths

Death Race 2012

Death Race 8 - 2012 Edition

Rules:

1) Pick TWENTY celebrities who you think are going to pop their clogs in 2012.

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

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! :-)

I’ve updated the Hall Of Fame here as I’ve been told Lola and Ci? are in fact the same person!

I think one or two other usernames might have changed as well… “sp” is now “msd” I believe. I miss Sam from these threads… he was always good value for death race dedication!

I’ve also included the points totals for the years we’ve had the current format :-)

2005: Deadsetgav
2006: Ci? (Lola)
2007: sp
2008: The Autosurgeon
2009: Caffinebomb
2010: Jobrok (with 22 points)
2011: Lola (with 38 points)

Pretty much the same list as last year, I had a couple with a very near miss, Zsa Zsa lost a leg, George Michael came bloody close in Dec.

I’ve got 4 new entries, a boxer, a dictator, a killer and an entertainer!!

I’ve dropped Assange too as he seems a little safer than he was this time last year.

Oops. Make that Kim Jong-un rather than Kim Il-Sung, seeing as he’s been dead for ages.
