Celebrity Death List MMXIV / The Death Thread 2014

[skully]

OK, as 2013 is roaring to a close, it's time to start thinking about those celebs that you think will kark it in 2014.

The Rules:

Choose six celebrities:

- At least one must be under the age of 30 at the end of 2014 (no 30th birthday in 2014).
- At least one must be from the world of sport.
- At least one must be from the world of politics.
- No doubled up noms - if someone grabs one of your preferred noms first, bad luck. So I suggest you have some back-ups noms.
- You cannot choose anyone from your 2009, 2010, 2011,  2012, or 2013 lists - the full list of all past noms is listed below. I repeat – do NOT pick someone you’ve previously nommed.
- No sooking about anyone's selections - first in, best dressed.
- No bagsing prior to the opening time for nominations.
- Noms accepted from Midnight Dec 31, 2013 Australian Eastern Daylight Time = 1.00 PM Dec 31, 2013 GMT = 3.00 PM Dec 31 SAST = 6.30 PM Dec 31, 2013 IST - not a second before. If you nom early, your list will not count and you run the risk of others pinching your picks.
- Late entries (beyond January) are welcomed within reason e.g. August is pushing it a bit.
- scoring will be as set out below.

Scoring:

The winner will be the nominator with most deaths on their list at the end of 2014. In the event of a tie, the AD scoring method will be used as a tie-breaker, as follows:

The age of the successful nominee at the last birthday before death (no rounding-up) will be  taken away from 100. A blanket score of 1 point is awarded for any dying nominee aged 99 or older (as in the case of Oscar Niemeyer who was 104 - so there can be no zero or minus scores). Extra points are also awarded based on the month the nominee dies with 12 going to those in January, 11 to those in February etc. For example:

Zat (2012) - Etta James (25 Jan) (100 - 73 + 12 (for Jan)) + Oscar Niemeyer (5 Dec) ([104] = 1 point + 1 (for Dec)) – Total Pts = 41


No clocks from me this year. We'll rely entirely on the Forum's clock. If you submit your list and it turns out to be before midnight according to the Forum, it won't count.

Seems macabre but nobody has Michael Schumacher?

Well I won't be going for him. Medical science is amazing.

He may not be the sparkling wit he once was but I don't expect him to die.

[skully]

Brain surgery today, and currently in a coma. Might come out a vege.   

[skully]

How's them lists going, brothers and sisters?

I currently have a squad of 10, given that I probably won't get to have a go until about 12.30 tonight, and I'm guessing one or two of mine might be popular picks.

[horace]

PHURT.....if I was celeb I'd have dibs on myself ...screw the rest of them

[Bradman]

I'll put you down h. We can make something up if you croke. I'll have a look after everyone else has nommed and scour previous lists for likely nominees.I'll be on an aircraft mid-pacific when the hour comes, but good luck to everyone.
