I never did like that guy.
First time playing. Here’s my list:
Amanda Bynes
Louie Anderson
Suge Knight
Tom Sizemore
Artie Lange
Ray Liotta
Michael J Fox
Corey Feldman
Zac Efron
Joaquin Phoenix
Macaulay Culkin
Scott Stapp
You get thirteen picks.
Thanks a35362
Amended to add one more pick
Amanda Bynes
Louie Anderson
Suge Knight
Tom Sizemore
Artie Lange
Ray Liotta
Michael J Fox
Corey Feldman
Zac Efron
Joaquin Phoenix
Macaulay Culkin
Scott Stapp
Scott Weiland
You get thirteen picks plus alternates if you want 'em. You seem to have ten picks plus three alternates…?
If true, does that mean I can put Walt on my list? 
Walt was born over 100 years ago, you wouldn’t get any points.
I’ll use your alternates to round out your thirteen until or unless I hear otherwise from you.
Surely, John, go for it!
Lady Luck favors the brave!
I’d like to make one change: I’d like to bump Nick Cannon, and replace him with Muhammed Ali, and then bump Scott Peterson from the alts, and replace him with Cannon.
My list for this year is a mix of last year’s immortals and band wagon picks from this year
Valerie Harper
Fidel Castro
Jimmy Carter
Lindsay Lohan
Katie Couric
Sam Simon
Billy Graham
Charlie Sheen
Betty White
Micheal J. Fox
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Tom Brokaw
Hillory Clinton
Alts
Muhammad Ali
Larry King
Pope Emeritus Benedict
EDIT: Billy Graham the evangelist
Can I get some clarity here?
Are we supposed to pick 10 people, then three alternates, or are we supposed to pick 13 people, then three alternates?
I thought it was 10/3, but if Baker corrects me, then I need to resubmit my list.
Thanks!
See Rule #1. You pick 13 names, and you can name a few alternates if you want to.
Sigh…
That means I could have saved three more lives last year. Now I feel REALLY guilty. 
Last try - amended again to add alternates
Amanda Bynes
Louie Anderson
Suge Knight
Tom Sizemore
Artie Lange
Ray Liotta
Michael J Fox
Corey Feldman
Zac Efron
Joaquin Phoenix
Macaulay Culkin
Scott Stapp
Scott Weiland
Jerry Lewis
Cloris Leachman
Mel Gibson
You pick thirteen names. Alternates are “just in case” names, and you can have as many as you wish. But the list you play with has thirteen.
You didn’t necessarily save the lives of any alternates. I can’t remember who, but in this year’s game someone was complaining that one of their alternates died, and that doesn’t count for points.
Singer Joe Cocker passes away in a pointless death.
Could not wait a few days more.
But RIP 
Back to the drawing board…
I’m not going to have much internet access from tomorrow until almost the new year, so I posted alts on the chance that one of my regs dies between now and the 31st, and I can’t get to a keyboard. I posted 3, because that seemed to be what everyone else was doing. I should have three people on my list die, before or after the 31st.
My new list of 13+3
