    Pighead is putting his Celebrity Death Predictor Championship Title on the line.
    After succesfully predicting the deaths of Marlon Brando,Ray Charles,Ronald Reagan and Johnny Ramone last year Pighead raced away with the title
    This year to start off with i'm plumping for Charles Haughey to kick the bucket and meet his maker.Low score but a pretty solid selection

    Heres the rules

    1. This has to be a personality/celebrity that at least one other player in the game knows. Or you can prove the celebrity status with a Google search result.
    2. He or she must be alive when you pick that person.
    2. A celebrity can only be picked by one player. First person to pick the celebrity gets him or her.
    3. 100 points wins this game.
    4.Points are accrued by taken the age of the celeb from 100,ie Marlon brando=20 points,(100-80)

    Pighead:Charles Haughey(Possible 25 Points)
    Ladyj : Ashley Olsen(Possible 82 Points)
    Kernel:Saddam Hussein(Possible 32Points)
    Shakaman:Osama Bin Laden (Possible 46 Points)
    Parasite: Tony Blair (Possible 48 Points)

    Ashley Olsen. 82points no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Lady J goes straight for the jugular and goes for a massive 82 pointer!
    By the way Miss J, rule 5 clearly states assasination attempts are not allowed!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I would pick Albert Hoffman who's 99, but that would only be one point, so I say Richard Pryor, which would be 45 points I believe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    How about Termianlly Ill People aren't allowed?

    Because he could have just racked someone up a juicey 32 points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Why are assasinations not allowed? dead is dead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    They're not allowed if you killed the person to score points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I assumed there was a "no involvement clause" But seriously if say, george bush got assasinated, whats the chances of it being someone on boards to win a prize-less competition?
