Ghoulpool 2004 was a success! 9 People on players lists quietly passed to the other side this year, leading to an amazing 1,584 total points being awarded to our 8 players in the Beta version. Now that the bugs have been worked out, we are ready to move this up a notch.
We are ready to start lining up the players for 2005 -- to learn more about the hows and whys, please visit our page at The Ghoul Pool (http://www.ghoulpool.us). Once there, click on the link for The 2005 Rules (http://www.ghoulpool.us/rules05.htm), which also contains a link (http://www.ghoulpool.us/points05.htm) to the point structure for 2005 (they have changed slightly from 2004, so please read 'em).
The site will be new and improved for 2005 (it's under construction now), but to join simple send me an email to let me know you will be playing. Picks won't be due until the 29th of December, so get busy doing your research!
Any questions, please send me a PM or an email to drdeath@ghoulpool.us.
sweet. I was just wondering about this the other day. *getting to work on list of death. :evil
Great pool. I will be submitting my picks before the due date.
Quote8. If you actually cause the death of anyone on your list, you will be eliminated from the game and forfeit your fee.
:-D :-D :-D
That point system is sick.
I'm in!
Sounds groovy.
So, if someone dies on the 30th or 31st, do you get to replace them, or are you just screwed? ;D
wtf :paranoid

You can replace him the first week of January.

Shtein, there goes my plan...
Ghoulpool needs more people
Need more of you sick fargers to join this thing. I currently have about 15 people committed, and need to get over 20 players to make the prizes work out the way I want.
Think of it this way -- $20 for all year, you get to watch the news to see who died, and then be the wonder of your friends and family when you cheer! "Yes!! I knew that old hag was going to kick!" A small price to pay for the image you will be projecting at every sad announcement.
IM me or email at drdeath@ghoulpool.us to let me know you are in.
:'(
I'll be getting in. Need to start getting a list together soon. Then I am sending Mussa out with some cinderblocks to take out the first 10 people on my list. :evil

Oh I read the rules but I figured I could use semantics to slip around that one because I won't be the one ACTUALLY CAUSING the death. ;D
Oh, I see. The commander is not guilty because he didn't pull the trigger. And the soldier isn't guilty, because he was just following orders. I swear I've heard that somewhere before...

I currently have a list of 24 people who say they are going to play. HOWEVER, I haven't heard any follow-up from at least 3 CF people who I sent PM's to. If you received another PM from me today, it means I have you on the list to play and am waiting for your contact info!
Anyone else who is interested, PM me or email me at drdeath@ghoulpool.us
sent my list in yesterday. it was harder than I thought.

I could have easily put 50 on my list -- getting down to 25 is not easy!
BTW -- any last minute players interested???
hope none of you guys sent in your lists yesterday or this week had Jerry Orbach on it.
Holy shtein! I had considered putting him on my list, but prostate cancer is pretty common in older men, and more often than not responds well to treatment.
The article about his cancer a couple of weeks ago was very upbeat. I really liked him on L&O too :'(

Yeah, I was shocked too. All of the articles about him being under treatment were upbeat and none even suggested that he could die soon.

1 guy had him on his list. I had him on my longer list, but took him off because it looked like he was doing well.
Just submitted my list and sent $20 via PayPal. Game on.

I've looked over everyone's lists and, barring a Dallas Cowboy plane crash, I'm confident that I'll be $40 richer in early 2006. Now, how to spend the take??

Sorry to see him go....Godspeed Mr Orbach, you will be missed.
(believe me, that is a funny post to myself and Demon)
Johnny Carson (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&e=1&u=/nm/20050123/ts_nm/people_carson_dc) was the first successful hit in GhoulPool 2005.
I had him on my fargin' list, too..but he didn't make the final cut. :'(
Well maybe it is a sign, we never made it to the Superbowl when he was alive... Just kidding, sorry to see him go...
I hate Collinsworth he said we couldn't run on the falcons a couple of minutes ago :-D

I didn't know a lot of Max Schmeling other than his bouts against Joe Louis that Hitler tried to use to sell his idea of Aryan supremacy. That was a neat account of a man who was more behind the scenes than he was as a successful athlete.
I've boned myself twice over already :boom
Cut both Carson and Ossie Davis from my final list. :poison
I'm such a twisted f%^&er... every time I see a new post in the GP thread, I get excited thinking I may have scored me some points!
This guys gonna go soon. New president of Iraq: Jalal Talabani
We put a guy named Taliban in as the president of Iraq? :-D
QuoteATLANTA (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys' running back David Lang, who played on the Super Bowl XXX championship team, was killed in a shooting, police said Saturday.

Nope.
