  • Revisionist history: Ozzy was actually in first place from 1/19 to 5/4.

    One of the rare times when revisionism actually makes sense.

    • Another good reminder to watch the more obscure celebs that may be on your list.

      What Rah said was true Ozzy, good research on your part, bad luck on Lyon's. If we could actually cause deaths my list would look very different.

      • Yea, definitely. Usually I just rip off people from some dead pool list, but I put a bit more time into it this year and turned her up. Not often someone scores on someone so young too, so more bonus points there.


        Finding an obscure person for the list is definitely more satisfying than picking all the usual suspects.

        • Why are you happy that she died?

          • I'm happy to have found out, and that I got points off of it. Not happy that she died. Obviously.

            • I didn't know! It wasn't all that obvious. Maybe she was a hag. I had no idea.

              • I don't watch Survivor so I don't know the slightest thing about her. But even people I don't like I don't wish death on them.

                        • Clearly I should have submitted my picks at the last moment instead of making them early. Either that or I should get revisionist points for last year.

                          And doesn't one of my reserves get promoted up to the last spot now?

                          • Rule 12 would prohibit retro awarding of points.

                            I feel your pain however.

                              Would not be fair. Sorry.

                              Rule 6 from the sign-up thread.

                              6. The Panel Judge will not determine if the submitted celebrity is currently alive. If you choose someone that is already dead you will be stuck with that celebrity on your list unless you notice and report the error prior to January 1st, 2010. If you still have available celebrities from your Reserve List one will be moved up to replace the already deceased choice prior to the start of the Pool.

                              • I do sincerely feel bad (and I really don't want to discourage early entries in the future) so I will exercise my powers under Rule 2 and allow a vote on the matter.

                                50%+1 in favour will get your #21 pick moved up.

                                Players?
