Hey all.
Since I've been made PERSONA NON GRATA over at Groucho.org, I'm wondering if the folks here on JC would be interested in a 2005 JC Dead Pool.
Basically, you pick 15 people you think will die in 2005. If they die, you get points equal to their age subtracted from 100 (so somebody 85 years old would yield 100-85=15 points). You also get a quantity bonus of 5% per death. So, if 4 people on your list die and they yielded a total of 100 points, your final score is 100 + (20% of 100), or 120 points.
The winner at the end of the year gets $10 from each player.
If you hep cats are interested, let me know. If enough people want to play, I'd be happy to organize the game.
