Rules of Play

Rule 1) All entries must be submitted by the end of Saturday 20th January. No deaths before that date will be counted towards your scores.
Rule 2) You may predict a list of 15 names (as if thinking of 10 wasn't hard enough). Number 15 on your list _must_ be a person under the age of 50 on December 31st this year.
Rule 3) A correct prediction earns you 10 Deathlist points
Rule 4) A correct _and unique_ prediction (ie one that no-one else has predicted) will earn you 5 bonus points.
Rule 4 - addendum i) All people on your list must be well-known and in the public eye. 'Celebrities', for want of a better turn of phrase.
Rule 4 - addendum ii) Gamesmanship in the shape of waiting until the entry deadline and posting a completely unique list will be strictly frowned upon. This is supposed to be fun, dammit!
Rule 5) A correct under-50 prediction will earn you double points.

Quotes from Mu Beta, the Game's Master:-

Rules are rules and they're made to be adhered to. No points.

Because they're the bloody rules, alright?

Just play the bloody game and stop questioning the rules, alright?

Question the rules at your own risk!

Player's names and scores can be found on the scoreboard
