Default Celebrity Croakers Thread 2014

Time for a reset.

Here are the rules

Pick 5 people that you think will croak over the next year to 11.59pm on December 31st 2014. Select one of these to be your Joker.

A valid celebrity croaker must have their death reported on the BBC's website to earn points.

Earn points for the joker's age at death less than 100. For example, Justin Bieber is currently 19. if you picked him and he dies before his birthday in 2014 you would earn 81 points.

If your joker passes away in 2014, you earn double the points for each year that the croaker missed his 100th birthday.

To streamline the process this year, I've created this handy google drive doc, where you can add your BE name and your picks. Please give me a shout if you have any problems accessing it or putting your picks in.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...2c&usp=sharing

Let the discussions and deaths commence!

Done.

Something missing from the rules is that you're stuck with the list until one of them dies and with the joker until the joker dies (or the end of the year in both cases).

I can't see who you picked as Joker, DBD.

Column L. So many times Sharon let me down, I hope he "lives" forever.

Good point. You can't pick again until one of your picks has shuffled off this mortal coil.

And you can't pick a new joker unless they've bought it


Crowdsourcing rules.... any more for any more?

And don't worry if you have issues or challenges - you can either PM me or reply on this thread. I'll be cleaning up as I go, but a shared doc helps me with the admin. I'll be refining the sheet as we go...

I entered a line of 5, but I fear I may have accidentally ended up typing into someone else's entry too....I don't know how or why this happened! I have PM'd Pretty Flowers and asked her to check it, but if your entry has changed, my apologies if it was me that caused it!

Souvy, you've picked 6. Your Joker wasn't one of your 5!

Your joker doesn't show up slanty because you have her as Cyrus in column L but Citrus in column F. I expect there's a slanty citrus joke there somewhere but I can't do it.

Yorkiechef's entry has similar issues while Souvy is just being greedy.

Does Yorkie have to specify which Gaddafi son, or is there only one left?
