Ghoul Pool 2.7

[jmeissen0]

Ok, we lost this year's competition... from what i remember, whoever picked gotti in the one slot won, and lastort had the most kills (3)

let's repick 10 people and have the game go until the end of the year (stroke of new year's central time)

the game will begin anew august 1st

remember to rank your picks

to rehash the scoring... if your number 1 pick dies your score for them would be 10x(100-age)... if your number 10 pick dies, your score would be 1x(100-age)

if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them


1st ghoul pool winner: americanfolklegend
2nd ghoul pool winner: guy who got gotti (cut short)
2.7 version: unknown


i'll throw in some random things too... like best marksmen, most kills with an automatic, most diseased kill, etc.

Um, I don't think that list is going to get you many points...

Besides, you forgot Michael Kennedy, David Kennedy, and Martha Moxley.

I'm not going to enter, but I'll be a roving reporter for the competition. If it's in entertainment and they're dead....I'll be reporting it.

[SuperElf]

Can you list people on death row? Or criminals in custody who are HIGHLY likely to get fried? That seems kind of cheap to me . . .

[jmeissen0]

i think it would be acceptable if they die not because of their execution (i.e. suicide or prison fight)

of course there is also the question of being famous (bin laden is famous, just not in a good way)... i figure the guy recently caught in cali for child abduction, murder, and other things would count for this game

but the normal guy on death row? probably not


maybe others will view it differently, but i don't think so...

so at this point, we are going with what i have said on it... unless a number of people disagree and reasoning is solid

cool?

i would go with when the announce him dead... so far we still think he is alive

i don't really think there are any other famous people like this aside from jimmy hoffa and i see no discovery on his death coming to light before new year's

but again, if public opinion differs on this...

[FulhamRev]
