2015 Celebrity Death Pool

Musk21 · December 19, 2014

It's time to get ready for the 9th annual Celebrity Death Pool! Start compiling your lists for 2015. Rules are:

Pick 25 celebrities that you think may pass away during 2015.
Points are earned based on age. 100 minus their age. So if someone on your list dies and was 88 years old, you earn 12 points. If someone was 24, you earn 76 points.
Celebrities are allowed per my approval. They need to be pretty well known. George Clooney's nephew does not count, but Michael Lohan would be allowed. I'll notify you if someone on your list doesn't meet the criteria.

- Send completed lists to me here via PM. Lists will be accepted through Jan 11th, 2015. Let me know if you have any questions.

We're so terrible at this.

Paul Pleiss · January 3, 2015

I've joined in the game for this season. I feel a little dirty about predicting people's deaths, but I also added a few celebs who I just WANT to die, which is probably even worse.

Yeah, somehow the threat of karma keeps me away.

I'd call it more ghoulish predicting the sad but inevitable ending to some famous persons life.

Paul Pleiss · March 10, 2015

Guys, I'm almost winning at predicting people dying. I mean, this last week has been good for me, but not so good for the people on my list. I feel terrible, awful, and amazing all at the same time. This is terribly wonderfully awful.
