The 2017 Two Plus Two Celebrity Death Pool - Who's gonna croak first? - Page 9 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

My guess is the Racener reference has to do with this thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...hlight=racener

which I got about 2 pages in and then figured I don't really have time for this ****.

But the basic facts, if true... damn. (EDIT: It's about unpaid debts, and it looks like Racener paid them off recently.)

LC,

i had requested ricksen as my joker after the deadline, so i asked in the thread how it would be handled. bob ruled that first name on your list is your joker. which in my case was joost (both in the PM i sent bob and in the list i posted in thread). just posting for clarity because i see you had marked ricksen as my joker in your spreadsheet.

I change the doc to reflect that your joker is Joost.

I came across Joost during my "research". I didn't pick him because I had no idea if the death of a South African rugby player will make the news in the US.

yeah, i had a similar guy in a 2016 pool (martin crowe) and scored with him, and also had joost last year, so i went ahead and used him here.

same with ricksen, i'm assuming he will get picked up by one of the US sites with an international section.

it was a smart risky pick. an earlier draft of my list had an older rugby player, but i dropped him because i wasn't sure how much coverage he would get.

Large player pool and long lists - I felt like you gotta go for upside and unique picks to win
