For those unfamiliar, this is the 6th annual installment of the Celebrity Death Pool. At the beginning of the year, each contestant chooses 25 celebrities for their submitted list (there's no draft). If someone on your list passes away during the year, you get points based off of their age.

 

New entries are not accepted at this time, but follow along if you wish and start preparing your 2013 list!

My username has changed here, but gopherben was mine before for tracking purposes and such.

Hey Musk, good to see that you made the jump. It will be interesting to see if any of the other BYTO death pool crew did the same (hell, maybe I can win by default, or not).

I thought of changing my name because I don't drink anymore then I remembered when I was 16 and came up with this name I didn't drink either. Holly crap the internet is getting old.

hello

 

hhkhklhkiuguyg

changed my user name as well...formerly torii_hunter_mvp

I'm sticking around. It looks like I might need to personally knock off some of the people on my list to retain my title though. (I apologize if anyone is offended by my reference to killing people for death pool points.)

I am. Mods please BAN him.

Thank god this continues. Hugo Chavez is a sure bet for me in 2012.

I had to grow up and change to my adult name. 327 > 038
