VillaTalk Deadpool 2024

Here we go!  

It is that happy time of the year again... no, not Christmas, forget that, thats done and dusted. The real highlight of December is here. Time to select your celebrities who you think will shuffle off their mortal coil during 2024. 

My glamorous assistant @bickster will be tallying up the final 2023 scores in due course, so we can announce the champion  Who needs Carol Vorderman?!

Terms and conditions apply. Here comes the small print: 

You all know the rules... same as before... You get five names.  Five.  If you list more than five names then any names from six onwards won't count. 
100 points for a dead celebrity.  200 points if that celebrity is below 40 years of age on the day they die. 
The number of points is divided equally between every person who guesses correctly. If you are the only person to name somebody who dies then you get the full hundred. If five people guess, it's twenty points each. Decimal scores will be rounded up, ie, if three people guess then they get 34 points each, not 33.333

We will be generous with the deadline. Entries are valid up until 23:59 January 6th 2024.  Editing your post after that time will invalidate your entry into the game.

If your pick was made before 2024 and they die in 2023, you have until the entry deadline to nominate your substitute

People who die before you post, do not score for you. 

Let's go, you morbid bunch of reprobates!

That'll be me looking for my spreadsheet  

[Paddywhack]

Bah!! Throughout the year, I’ll read some article about a celebrity with a terminal illness or a photo of them looking like death and think “must remember to pop them on my list”. 

I can’t remember one.
