Not bad, I can work with that.
Rank order?
New unique picks to fill the "holes" on the roster or move all former picks up and add unique picks at the bottom?

Proposed rule change:
4. This list is to be sent by Private Message to Wezil for eligibility verification. DO NOT post your list in the thread. I will post the lists of all players at the start of the game in January. This prevents others from “poaching” your good picks. Only "late submissions" (see below) will be accepted after 31st December 2011.
a) Late submissions will be accepted until January 15, 2012 under the following conditions:
i) New players must submit a list of 20 unique (not picked in 2012) celebrities.
ii) Returning players may submit their old team with unique picks filling any openings created by 2011 deaths. New picks are added to the bottom of the player's Rank List.
We have 20 players.
Do we have 11 in support?
I vote yes for 1.

Aye.
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
I'll vote yes, however...
I'd also like to see a small late penalty (maybe '-25' points).
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
The unique picks are the penalty...

Let 'em in, hell. They can take my picks, if they want. It would be a stupid thing to do, but hey...

I'd like to see something to protect the on-time players from getting screwed by events in the news Jan. 1-15, which conceivably could create easy and unique picks for a savvy latecomer. Maybe their required unique picks don't get the unique pick +25 bonus?
I know it's a potential scoring hassle, but thought I'd throw it out there.

They don't need to be unique to each others lists, I assume? I mean if Ozzy and embalmer pick the same person, it's okay. I even think they should, if they wanted, be able to pick any non-unique pick from other lists.
Aye.
ACK!

Precisely. Thus, I think two weeks is excessive. A week should be more than enough to cover all but the most adverse of circumstances.
I vote yes but I'm still pissed it's been a week and no one has kicked the bucket yet. I bet Margret Thatcher is going to live to be 120 just to spite me.

I am leaning toward some sort of penalty as I don't want late submissions to be a default option.

If they have to use all unique picks, just treat their picks as normal pickis, they don't get the unique bonus.

I vote yes to any rules that let a few extra players in even if it's only two weeks late...after that, screw em
Keep on Civin'
RIP Baron O
I say let the late ones in but any new picks have to be unique and they should get a 25 point penalty
Good Luck to everybody this year.
Congrats JRabbit! You're the man to beat.
Thanks, stonesfan.

Are you counting me as a "no" vote? because, I voted yes.

We seem to have 14 in favour of letting them in and 0 against.
Should we vote on the mechanics, or leave it to Wezil?
I move that we should let Wezil decide the penalty, if we have one.
