  • 2013 dead pool draft selection thread

    This thread is for picks only. Please put comments in the signup and discussion thread.

    Draft order:

    Revo
    Erik
    Griswold
    B-Fly
    ElDiablo
    Fresno Bob
    Baldgriff
    Hacko
    Netboy
    SeaDogStat
    DMT
    Don Quixote

    The clock starts at 9 AM Eastern on Friday, January 4, but Revo can start the proceedings earlier if he wishes. The clock is 2 hours on weekdays and 4 hours on weekends (and Martin Luther King Day if we're still drafting then.) Please PM someone with a list if it looks like you're not going to be around when your turn is up.

    Rules:

    Points = 100-age.

    +15 for "1st Death", +15 for "Last Death"

    No drafting anyone currently hospitalized with a terminal illness. Terminal illness but not in the hospital is OK. In the hospital but not with a terminal illness is OK.

    If your person dies during the draft, no points, repick.

    Picks must be "notable" other than for death pool positioning. At the very least they should have an English-language Wikipedia page for a reason other than being famous for illness (e.g. Terri Schiavo).

    If someone wishes to protest a pick, please state the nature of your objection. If the picker does not agree with the objection, the pick will be put to a vote of drafters.

    This draft must move quickly lest too many picks die before it's over. Therefore there will be a two-hour clock on weekdays and a four-hour clock on weekends. The clock will run from 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern time. If you are going to be unavailable, please PM your choices to someone else, or tell us that we can skip you.

    Draft will be 10 rounds.

              "You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

                Yeah I guess I will be that guy.
                It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

                      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
