You might want to add some alternates as well in case one of those on your list kicks it before the end of the year. Otherwise, you could end up playing with fewer than 13 celebrities. ---

**Allecher** , your list, with the Amazing Kreskin, is a good example of what I always mention in the OP, to use the celeb’s most common moniker. Would anyone know who Jorge Bergolio is, without his title? ---

As I cannot win this game in a conventional fashion, I am again going for the simple body count, not the score. Also i would like to remind everyone that -even if you do not die- it is an honor just to be nominated.

Am I the new poster whose entry vanished? I don’t see it anywhere yet. Joe Biden was the first person on the list if that helps

I am near to completing my own list, going to wait until just after Christmas. I still need to figure out how to divide up my choices, as I have twenty six. Thirteen will go here, thirteen on the other board where I run the pool. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > I had Ariel Sharon on my list before he went into the coma and for several years after. I dumped him and he died right away. Same thing happened to me with Patty Andrews and Maria Tallchief, although I had dropped Andrews for not being worth enough points. Still kicking myself over Tallchief, because she would have been a unique pick, too. ---

I just had a resident in my building tell me that this game is sick. Several of us had been chatting and I mentioned how the game works. I still say that if I had been able to be picked I’d be flattered. It would mean someone at least remembers me. ---
