You know, the points system...I not like. You get beaucoup points for Swayze when he has had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel for HOW LONG? [/competitivesoreloser]

Oh, and LOL at madman!

Spudcon – 3 Points (Karl Malden)

Shawnee had Malden, too.

Thanks Spexx.

edit: so I predict THREE deaths and lose? I need another fatality from my list. What the hell is Tara Reid doing? Is she all fucking sober or something? That'd be my luck!

Sundae · 09-18-2009, 01:26 PM

You've not lost yet, chick.
You gotta gun?

Radar · 09-18-2009, 01:28 PM

Ok, revised year to date totals...

Patrick Swayze = 43 points
Karl Malden = 3 points
Ted Kennedy = 23 points
Walter Cronkite = 8 points
John Mortimer = 15 points
Kenny McCormick = 0 points (animated people don't count)

Monster - 43 Points (Patrick Swayze)
Shawnee – 34 Points (Ted Kennedy, Karl Malden & Walter Cronkite)
Classicman – 23 Points (Ted Kennedy... using my own list to beat me)
Sundae Girl - 15 Points (John Mortimer)
Spudcon – 3 Points (Karl Malden)

Shawnee123 · 09-18-2009, 01:34 PM

Oh come ON...look at that! With what weird logic am I not winning?

I'm declaring myself winner anyway. Hmmph.

Just kiddin'. Kinda. Yeah, I'm a bit competitive...what of it?

classicman · 09-18-2009, 01:36 PM

loooooooooooooser!

Shawnee123 · 09-18-2009, 01:38 PM

Well it IS bullshit. I don't care how you slice it.

Sundae · 09-18-2009, 01:41 PM

Sigh, Shawnee. This is how it works.
You choose people who are going to die.
You take more of a chance if your choose young people, but you get more points if they die. However there is a tendency for older people to die sooner, you just don't get as many points.

There is no "logic", there is no "fair", death is random.
Taking a weapon out on the streets is the only way you can hope to have any impact on your position on the list. Or a putative knowledge of healthcare.

That is what Monster has done after all.
Or at least that's what I assumed when I got a text message from her saying, "That's for Chappaquiddick you arsehole!"

I hope that makes things clear.

Shawnee123 · 09-18-2009, 01:45 PM

You don't take a chance if you know they have terminal cancer and they're like, 41 years old.

That's OK, I still think Tara will pull through for me.

Thanks for the 'splanation: I get it, I just think the fact I predicted 3 deaths is pretty impressive! Yeah they were old...but with the exception of Teddy there was no news story of their impending death.

But I wouldn't begrudge the mon anything! I love the monster!

I know you know the rules, babba. I was laying it on thick for my own amusement.

Me, I'm gutted that the first year I get a single hit, I'm still coming in last of the scoring Dwellars! AND I had to lose a hero in order to do so! So, I sympathise almost completely. Not totally of course, because I still won't bloody catch you.

I love Monnie too, but what say we off her anyway?

classicman · 09-18-2009, 02:05 PM

Shaw, you win in the "most deaths predicted correct" category, Its kinda like winning best supporting actress.
