Time to Judge FootFootFoot
 
Should f3 get points for Joe Paterno in the cellar celebrity death pool? The death was reported in the media before it actually happened, so f3 added Joe to his roster after the first report, but before the actual death. My inbox is on fire with indignation, but the game really belongs to the cellar/the internet. So it's time for We, The People to act as judge and jury. Should f3 get the points?

I think he should get bonus points for creativity.

Yes, that was originally a poll option, but Sundae paid me to make it disappear.

Why are ZenGum's people carrying snowballs in the desert?

ZenGum 01-23-2012 12:30 AM

Well, if you were wandering about the desert, and someone suggested a snowball fight, who wouldn't say yes?

Well, since I don't get involved in the death pool thing cause i think it's a pretty morbid competition, I think I'd say you should all lose all your points cause you didn't think of it first.

I liken it to insider trading. One person used information that others could have; but, didn't use to profit in points. If f3 keeps the points, there should be sanctions. Those affected can start by referring to him as Martha (i.e. Martha Stewart).

You tell 'em Martha!

Insider trading would be if foot shot Gordon Ramsey with a .22 from his dining room and then added him before the news broke.

Don't give him any more ideas, Glatt!
He's already cheated once and it's a slippery slope.

Extra points for slyness.

:thumb:

I'm saying no ...

The lists should be "locked" at the time of posting and ride for the year.

Unless ... say someone on your list karks it, what do you guys think about adding in someone at that point, to cover the empty slot?

footfootfoot 01-23-2012 06:41 PM

I'm saying you can't make up rules as you go along. Show me where it says you can't add someone to make 10

HungLikeJesus 01-23-2012 06:41 PM

I think you should be able to add two names for each successful hit. That would make things interesting.

Or use points to buy extra names....

Or where it says you can't change your list mid-year. Imma switch one of mine for Demi Moore.

footfootfoot 01-25-2012 11:49 AM

You should be able to modify your lists. I don't think it's like a horse race.

infinite monkey 01-25-2012 12:02 PM

Working under the assumption that you're being intentionally obtuse, I'll add: where does it say you can't use someone who died a long time ago?

1) Gregory Peck
2) Jesus H Christ
3) Donny Dinosaur
4) Common Sense
5) Nicole Brown Simpson
6) The Lindbergh Baby
7) Abraham Lincoln
8) Generalissimo Francisco Franco
9) Old Math
10) A White Dwarf


I win!

Game over.

Wow, that was FUN! Well, it would've been, it used to be.

Clodfobble 01-25-2012 12:09 PM

Infi, it's cool. Everyone's just funnin' around here.


Besides, that white dwarf was way over 110 when it died, so 110 minus roughly a billion means enough negative points to cancel out all your others. ;)

infinite monkey 01-25-2012 12:23 PM

See, that's why I'm so funny!

Spexxvet 01-25-2012 01:48 PM

Next year we'll have a lawyer draw up the rules, and we'll all pinky swear on them.:p:
