Ghoulpool 2006

[Father Demon]

Let's get ready for the new season!  Please send me a PM whether you intend to play so I can get an idea of how many will be playing.  This year, we had 19 players, and I would love to see that number keep going up and up and up.

Most things will stay the same from the 05 season to the 06 season:

- The entry fee remains the same: $20.
- There will be two different winner payments:  1st death will win $20 (split among the number of people who had the first death), and the Top Three places at the end of the game will win the remainder of the pot (split 50%, 35%, and 15% respectively).  100% of the entry fees is paid out as prize money -- the house keeps nothing.
- Points will still be awarded based on age, cause, rank in your list, and unique points.

One major change that will occur in the 06 version is how points will be awarded:
- Rank points will remain the same
- Cause of death will remain the same (although we may modify the cause categories)
- Age points will remain the same
- Unique points will be modified to be lower.  The max points a player can get on Uniqueness will be 40.

The current rules can be found by clicking http://www.ghoulpool.us/rules05.htm
The current rules for point values can be found by clicking http://www.ghoulpool.us/points05.htm

Payment must be included prior to December 31st to play.  I got burned this year by allowing Brandon Forrest (brandon.forrest@xspedius.com) to pay me in January.  As you might have guessed, he never paid even after about 20 requests by me, so I will have to modify the prize distribution for the 2005 winners.  That will not happen this year as I make pre-payment 100% required.  Feel free to drop him an email and tell him what a jerk he is.

That's fine, everyone on my list will kick over within the first six months.

Remember the rules, RJS:

8. If you actually cause the death of anyone on your list, you will be eliminated from the game and forfeit your fee.
