I think jaymc has retired from running these, but quoting him from previous years:
]Rules are generally the same as in previous years.Post in this thread a list of 15 celebrities or other notable people. If you'd rather e-mail me, that's fine, but please post in the thread that you've done so, just so I can keep track.I'm not going to be a total stickler about notability requirements, but please try to be reasonable. If someone doesn't have a Wikipedia page at the very least, I'll probably ask you to choose someone else. Also: humans only.One new rule for 2012: If a Wikipedia search on one of your picks directs to a disambiguation page or to someone else with the same name, please indicate which one you mean by appending the person's profession in parentheses, e.g. "(actress)" or "(football player)."As usual, points are awarded based on the formula (100 - [age at death]). So picking Willow Smith (at 11) would get you a lot more points than picking Kirk Douglas (at 95), were both to die.Please post your lists to this thread by January 9. No lists will be accepted after that date. If someone dies before Jan. 9, only the people who have already submitted lists will be able to collect points. You may also revise your list at any time before Jan. 9; after that, you'll be locked in.

Can a mod delete me from this? If I actually die I don't want someone to copy that post and write "whoa" under it. They would just be scolded by someone else, and then fred b would post something like "oh so that is out of line but it was ok for darraghmac to call me the c word?"

I doubly feel a bit awkward about profiting from a death-bet + such a nice poster, even though I made the bet with you in the first place. If you see someone looking completely desperate and on their arse; give it to them and say it is a gift from big Rog of Streatham!

oh damn, i didn't see that he got 51'd. was their any specific incident or was it just months of low level provocations?
― treeship 2, Monday, 1 January 2018 16:18 (six years ago) link
He was 51d the one time he was actually articulating and expressing his pov in the weinstein thread I believe

It’s wild how often conservative voices of opposition turn out to be rape apologists
