OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I propose that for a given slot on your list, you can select more than one person so long as they are related/connected to one another in a logical fashion. Points would be awarded for each individual separately. However, points would only be awarded if every person specified for the slot died (AND not OR logic). And the slot bonus should only be awarded once. This would provide for additional risk/reward behavior.

I'll provide an example:

Powen selected the entire cast of Jersey Shore--presumably, the eight housemates-- for his #2 slot.

Let's say the cast dies in a housefire. There are eight cast members; all are in their twenties (Age Bonus: 9); nobody else has selected any of them (Pick Penalty: 0). Thus each of the eight cast members carries a bonus of +9.

8 members * 9 bonus per member + slot bonus (9) = 81

Now, like I said, it needs to use AND logic to encourage risk/reward behavior. So if DJ Pauly D is down the street filling his Valtrex script when the house goes up in flames, then Powen receives no points. Every person specified has to die for any points to be awarded.*


*Note that this would be incentive for Powen to pack his favorite balaclava and Louisville Slugger and pay DJ Pauly D a visit before the year runs out.

I propose that you can't propose new rules 1 day into the fricken contest.

I vote to strike the remarks from the distinguished gentleman from ... who are you again?

Also, it would only affect Powen under an extremely unlikely set of circumstances, but it would be something to consider for next year.

The motion is tabled until December then.

And I find it extremely suspicious that you want to change a rule just to benefit Powen.  I think the two of you may be related, or at least in cahoots.

Dig too deep into how the illuminati runs this dead pool and you're going to end up on my list for next year.

I'm surprised two others picked Artie, but it might be a wise choice.

If we can turn in late entries, I want in then.  Didn't get a chance to do one over the break.

-5 for lateness for Chuck, -10 for the second person to submit late picks (be it TDubbs or anyone else), -15 for the third, and so on?
