You guys should know the drill by now...

A recap on the scoring (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=7626.msg232398#msg232398):

a) Rank your picks 1-10, with points awarded according to rank
b) One bonus point added for each decade under 90
c) One penalty point deducted for each person other than yourself who picked the same person
d) Each correct pick is guaranteed a minimum of 1 point, regardless of deductions
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of the year, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)

Submit picks by email by the end of 2012 2013 2014 2015.

Email to deadpool@[my real name].com (PM me if that makes no sense to you).

Hello? Is the Death pool... dying?

And it's not even ten years old! That's a lot of bonus points if you hit.

Mine are in....damned if I let this year (2015) be the last, as it's the only one in which I've come up with a goose egg....Unless Don Rickles finally bites it in in the next 12 hours.

Just sent mine in. It's easy when most of your list survived.

I'll admit to feeling rather uninspired; I couldn't even figure out who some of the people in the pile of sticky notes were.

Every year, as I send my picks in, I feel hugely confident that at least eight of my ten can't possibly survive twelve months; and every year, looking back, I wonder how the hell I thought any of those people was going to carp it.  Still, not being the type to learn lessons, I've submitted a card that I truly believe will take me to the top of the pile in 2016.  Happy New Year, everybody!

I sent my picks in as well, although at this point I should probably sell spots on my list as inclusion seems to guarantee survival.

Release dates for Dead Pools in recent years (aka - Thrill's Desipio's best post of the year):

2015: January 5th
2014: January 8th
2013: January 3rd
2012: January 4th
2011: January 3rd
2010: January 2nd

We're well in range here.

On the basis that we've been trending later, and, more to the point, that Thrill appears to have got himself a life with actual people in it, I'm guessing it'll be a day or two yet.

He should be done with his New Year's Z-Pack by now, which means he's had plenty of sick time to do nothing but create the 2016 Dead Pool. 

Such bullshit toleration.

Not sure how we survived so long two years ago, but my ungrateful ass has moved on to the Internet equivalent of crossing one's arms and petulantly patting my foot on the ground while shooting means look at Thrill.

We're about two days from Thrill's world becoming a softball field, with Huey as his first baseman.

If I were a billionaire, I'd pull a Shkreli and pay Thrill to only send it to me, where I would never read it.
