Twitchin Kitten Dirt Nappers

Here are the rules and scoring for the game.


Everyone picks 15 celebrities from this list:

After you have chosen your celebrities, post them in this thread.

2020 game:
https://twitchinkitten.com/thread-5160.html

You may join the game at any time but obviously it's to your advantage to be in right from the start.

Should you make your picks before the game starts and wish to make a change, you have until 11:59:59 the day before the game to do so.  You must make the change in your pick post AND notify the game moderator, LKTraz by PM so that your list may be amended in the OP for that year's game.

Should you pick someone who is already dirt napping, shame on you for not checking the list closely enough but, you're stuck with them. The only exception is if you have pre-selected your picks BEFORE the beginning of the game, and they croak before the game starts, you will be allowed to make a new selection no later than 3 days after the game opens.

In the event that one of your picks buys the farm, points will be awarded upon confirmation by a reliable source and a link posted.

We will update scores weekly.  (If possible)
The game will run from 12:00:01 AM 1/1/20 to 11:59:59 PM 12/31/20

Points would be as follows:

Basic score is 150 minus the age at death.

Bonus and penalty points apply:
A penalty of 25 points if they committed suicide.

Bonus points:
Die on birthday: 20
Accidental death: 15
Murdered: 30
Friday 13th: 13

Example:  Clancy Schmancy dies at age 50 on Friday May 13th.  So 150 minus 50 equals 100 points.  A bonus of 13 points applies since he died on Friday the 13th.  New total 113.  BUT Clancy ate an assload of Numbitals and offed himself.  113 minus the suicide penalty of 25 points leaves a final score of 88 points.

Got it?  Pretty simple really!

IF there are any questions ask either Twitchy or me and we can explain it all.

Results of the 2019 game:
LKTraz - 129
BarEdul - 53
Twitchy - no score
Twisteroo - no score

After review and checking to verify that no picks were missed.............CONGRATULATIONS to LKTraz our 2019 Dirt Nappers winner!

Yep. The suicide penalty of 25 points has been there since we revamped the game after About2Croak went down.

Update 10-4-2019:

The score STILL remains unchanged.

So far this year has been full of "Whoda thunk" celebrity check-outs.

As we come down to the wire even more surprise celebrity deaths but no new scores.

21 days to go so we'll see who survives the holiday season.

Start thinking about picks for the 2020 game folks!
