JCC Deadpool™ 2024!

It's the Deadpool... oh yesssssssssss!




Also home to any and all celebrity, etc, death announcements; stay away if you don't like the macabre.











The rules!

Picks will be allowed to be posted from today until January 9th, 12:00pm PST. Why 9+ days? It's an integral number in the baseball/Howard Stern universe, so I like it. Also, nobody who dies within this time period will be counted towards points right away; the 'Purgatory list' is back, to be revisited at this date a year from now, to see if it affects the final scores. Why a Purgatory? To make things a little more interesting.



To be fair to any & all playing, everyone gets 11-picks. NO PM's; much easier to track & compile results by going through the first few pages of this thread. The criteria is simple: any celebrity/well-known human that's 18+ (obscurity is welcome, of course, but that person's got to be some sort of a known figure) and/or famous animal in the vein of Harambe, or P22 (the L.A. mountain lion). No JCer's, obviously.




Points & multipliers!

Base points for age groups are as follows:


18-30... 100-points


31-40... 90-points


41-50... 80 points


51-60... 70-points


61-70... 60-points



71-80... 50-points



81-90... 40-points



91+.... 30-points





Multipliers...

Some of the numbers have been changed slightly from previous Deadpools, and there's a new one...


2x- if two people on your list die within the same calendar day.


3x- if three people on your list with 24-hours of each other.


5x- "the scumbag"... a death that near-universally won't be missed (i.e. Garry Glitter, Putin)


9.4x... "the Todd"... if you post about someone, and they die within 24-hours; named for @Todd the Jedi commenting that Steve Harwell had days to live on September 4th, 2023, only for him to die later that day.


10x- "the massive"... a death, loved or hated aside, that will cause world-wide news for some time to follow (i.e.: Trump).


13x- "the irony"... a death that's related to the person's career/work (i.e.: Paul Walker dying in a car crash in '13).


50x... "the exact"... a death that occurs on a person's birthday.


100x... "the absurd"... if multiple people on your list die in the same incident OR are responsible for the other's demise.





Remember, multipliers aren't mutually exclusive, so depending on circumstance, a particular death or deaths can net you a large amount of points!




THE winner will get 31-days of custom colors; also, new-ish (the first one is going to be in Deadpool '23) will the Ent award for the most ridiculous death announcement post in this thread... those colors will last 9-days, and will be chosen by me.

I hate it here why did you have to include the king of America

 

Every day that Jimmy Carter is still alive must be a huge surprise to him.

 

I thought that was Elvis Costello.

 

A mix of world leaders I don’t like and their lackeys as well as people I think have a solid chance of dying this year.

1.)Vladimir Putin
2.) Bashar Al-Assad
3.) Ismail Hineyah
4.) Kim Jong Un
5.) Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi
6.) Valery Gerasimov
7.) Sergei Shoigu
8.) Jimmy Carter
9.) Mitch McConnell
10.) Bernie Sanders
11.) Chuck Grassley

I am playing to win it!

 

1. Joe Biden
2. John Fetterman
3. Benjamin Netanyahu
4. Chuck Schumer
5. Mitch McConnell
6. Hakeem Jefferies
7. (Speaker of the House) Mike Johnson
8. Anthony Blinken
9. Itamar Ben-Gvir
10. Jeff Zients
11. Lloyd Austin

 

I was half tempted to just repost my list with some added Russian, but I thought it was more interesting and more likely I would win if I actually added people who had a good chance of dying. But I doubt I will never not add Valddy to my lists

 

Replacing the two scumbags we lost with two more we should lose:

11. Paul "Moneybags" Martin

 

No; you’re more than welcome to replace her on your list if you’d like.

 

To think just two years ago I was to chicken to even play this game and last year I only did scumbags. Now to people I actually like are on the list.
