repeal & replace

@ham, Louis --

I'm fine with any of those three options, so long as you pick one of them soon.

Escrow info sent to you, Louis.

@Bob,

There's no reason to not let these guys shift out Baghdadi. I don't think they're angling and there's a reasonable argument about the rules. Your contest, your rules, so that's just one man's opinion.

I'll pick a) if no one in the $25 objects. I did not get a PM with the escrow info though.

as a cash pool member, i lean toward option b but will defer to the majority

I'm trying to square this with your prop bet offer The 2017 Two Plus Two Celebrity Death Pool - Who's gonna croak first?

I will do whichever of option A or B the majority prefers. I prefer A. Howard please PM me the escrow info, thx

Should exclude some names like Manson and QE2.
01-06-2017 , 05:52 PM
Imo if people with baghdadi are allowed to replace, everyone else should get 1 replacement of their choosing as well
01-06-2017 , 05:56 PM
B4L,

Yes, seems fair.

House,

In that case I think it's easier to just say we keep him. I haven't heard anyone but Bob say they really think he should be out.

I have no problem with either option. I would say I prefer A.

The only problem I see with B is what housenuts said above.

The vote tally seems to be:

A: JDiamon364
B: Econophile
abstain: Howard Treesong

Did I miss anyone? Any other votes by cash pool players?
01-07-2017 , 11:06 AM
I am in cash pool and go with option B with Manson and QE2 not eligible to be added to your list. I didn't pick baghdadi because i wasn't sure if he was eligible.
01-07-2017 , 11:44 AM
Updated tally:

A: JDiamond364
B: Econophile, rubixxcube
abstain: Howard Treesong

Minor complication: al-Baghdadi is my joker (and first name on the list). I guess according to what was discussed earlier the next name on the list becomes my joker?
01-08-2017 , 12:31 PM
Can I please get a final decision on what hamandrye and I are supposed to do?
01-08-2017 , 12:37 PM
the more i think about it, it seems like you should just keep your list as is

avoids potential second-mover advantage problems

btw, could you post your list LC? i don't think i saw it upthread.

eta: one proposal that could make everyone happy is keep al-baghdadi on list, but no bonus for violent death. otherwise counts according to bob's rules. would still be a pretty good score since he is 45.

My initial submission contained a list of ranked alternates. If it's just me and Ham replacing I'll just stick to that. There was talk about everybody (in the cash pool) getting the chance to replace one. In that case I would like the option to reconsider my choice.
What was the final decision on that?

That's for the purposes of the cash pool. For the play money pool I am fine with my original alternate.

01-09-2017 , 05:19 PM
These are the final lists that I have for my death pool. If I missed your list or got a name wrong, let me know and I'll recheck my PMs. Gotta admit that some of these read more like wish lists than entries designed to win lol

Note that this is going to be a very long post. I'm ordering them from most recent official entry to first entry received. I also noticed that some of you forgot your jokers. Someone mentioned the idea of having the first name on your list be the joker if you didn't pick one. To me, that is reasonable. Either that or you don't go with a joker. I'm content with both options.

My main fear is that if the rules change too much that it can become a bit confusing to read everything going on. Your rule won't confuse things that much but imo if more things get changed, the cash pool should probably have a separate thread.
