The 2018 Death pool
« on: November 29, 2017, 09:41:25 AM »
Guidelines are fairly straightforward.  You pick people you think won't make it out of 2018 alive, and I'll assign points (usually 1-3)based on age/health/likelihood to die, and we see who 'wins' at the end of the year.

I'd like to keep it at around a dozen or so.  This isn't meant to be serious so I don't want a hard cap, but I also don't want a repeat of when someone put in over 100 names.

Dozen sounds good. I think if we get too many, we should remove one in order to add another

You did see the part about getting negative points for picking recently dead and/or dying people, right?
