The "Celebrities and Famous" Who Will Die in 2022 Game starts at 12:01AM EST on January 1, 2023 and Ends on December 31, 2023 at 11:59PM EST.

You can select 10 people that you believe, hope and want to die in 2023.

Post them between NOW and December 31, 2022 at 11:59PM EST and list them in the order in which they will achieve deceased status, must be "celebrity" or "famous" individuals (ie have a wiki page).

Tie Breakers in case of duplicate selections: If a contestant has celebrity "A" listed 1st and another contestant has same celebrity listed 4th, the contestant with the higher selection would get tie breaker status. additionally second tie breaker will be decided using the following: first posted gets credit, if still deadlocked we will award co-champions or something...

Age at time of death will be granted points as follows

0-20 = 12 points
21-40 = 10 points
41-60 = 8 points
61-80 = 6 points
81-99 = 3 points
100+ = -1 point (yeah that's right, negative points for picking someone over 100)

dellio is the unofficial official scorekeeper

Upon death of one of your selections you must post the death and accumulated points in the thread in order for the tally to be scored.

All deaths before July 1, 2023 are normal points, all deaths starting July 1st and after are worth double points, any death occurring on that celebrities birthday are automatic double points.

A coroner’s report listing the cause of death as murder are triple points regardless of date of death
A coroner’s report listing the cause of death as Suicide are worth an escalator clause of 2.5x the set points before July 1, 1.5 factor multiplier after July 1 points
Asterisks will be added to all selections that warrant them, any controversies or protests will be handled as always by The Tribunal.

Any changes made to your order will be allowed prior to the deadline, however that new entry will receive only normal points, no doubling after July 1st << not sure what this legacy rule means, but it stays

Anyone who has a perfect death selection of all their picks is automatically the champion regardless of points

BONUS DAY: If the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens or Winnipeg Jets…. Aw (frank) it….Hey lets be serious for a moments if ANY Canadian based so called NHL team wins the Stanley Cup in 2023, the day of their win will be marked by a triple point extravaganza for all picked celebs who die that day.

BONUS DAY 2: If any President of the United States, current or former, dies the day of their death is triple point extravaganza for all picked celebs who die that day....if the death of the prez is linked to the chinese virus, quadruple points for all picked celebs who die that day.

rules will be edited and changed with no notice

Vote tallies and scorecard will be kept and posted monthly by known terrorism expert dellio

thank you

the grim reaper fears chuck norris.

chuck norris got covid and the covid had to go into quarantine.

chuck norris won't cheat death, he'll win fair and square.

chuck norris was once bitten by a poisonous snake. after a week of excruciating pain, the snake died.

Don't think it's going to be Volodya Putler's time this year. I predict that for 2024, along with Don Trump.

Never been alive in the first place. Just an inadequately developed and poorly executed & operating AI facsimile.

On the other hand, still a much superior contrived AI than that piss-poor excuse for AI: mr.peanut

*UPDATED for the announced death (but still not official death) of Poppa Benny 16*

My list.

I don't give a (frank) if it's more than 10 with the conditionals. I'm playing for the glory of the game, not for the win and (the lack of) watson's poopty prize(s).

1) Either Taraneh Alidoosti, or Henry Kissinger
2) Either Pope Benedict XVI Ye (AKA Kanye West AKA CON-ye), or one of the remaining Monty Pythons—probably Eric Idle
3) Either Bob Newhart, or some former wrestler—most likely Ric Flair
4) Either Lenny Welch, or Pete Davidson
5) Either Joe Pesci, or someone from the cast of Major League—primarily Wesley Snipes
6) Either Nick Nolte, or someone else from the cast of 48 Hours—maybe David Patrick Kelly
7) Either Jimmy Carter, or Britney Spears
8) Either Robert Duvall, or Tim Allen
9) Either David Crosby, or Nick Cannon
10) Either Celine Dion, or Nicholas Pryor, or Barbara Mikulski
