Who wants to play Celebrity Death BingoTM Part IV?
The idea is that anybody who wants to play sends me a PM. I will reply with their eight unique randomly generated numbers between 60 and 100.
We missed out on some old codgers in the last game so I have increased the upper limit...The game will start on October 1st
I’ll be the ‘caller’ and will keep a list of the original numbers so there can be no cheating… apart from by me of course…
The idea is that when a celeb pops his clogs we take their age at death and mark it off our numbers with our electronic dobbers.
So, to avoid any confusion, the basic rules are: -
1) Barman issues new All New All New Celebrity Death Bingo
TM Game IV numbers to anybody that sends a PM before the end of September 2013
2) Deaths start from October 1st 2013 i.e. no retrospective deaths allowed. The age at death determines the number crossed off the score card.
3) The dear departed must get an obituary in one of the recognised National British Daily Papers, on the BBC Web Site or Sky News web site
within 24 hours of the unfortunate event.4) Players will post details of the dead celebrity on this thread so players can appeal the validity of the claim
5) As before, Uncle Mort will be the final arbiter of the validity of the claim in the event of any dispute.
6) Each player will receive 8 randomly generated numbers between 60 and 100 Plus a Bonus Death number (see below).
7) As the numbers are randomly generated you may receive two (or more) identical numbers within your 8. Each death only removes one of the numbers.
8
) Each player may
optionally nominate a ‘Joker’ prior to the game starting (see below).
9) There is a prize of… a CAKE
or bottle of booze generously donated and consumed by Barman & LL.
10) To ensure fairness I will give Uncle Mort a copy of my numbers.
Bonus Death NumbersEach player will receive a Bonus Death Number which relates to the Bonus Death categories listed below.
When a celebrity (categorised as above) of any age expires by a method matching your Bonus Death Number, you may nominate one of your remaining numbers to be removed from your card.
1. Drugs overdose
2. Hanging
3. Car crash
4. Gunshot
5. Plane crash
6. Asphyxiation
7. Alcohol
8. Choke on vomit
9. Fall from height
10. Electrocution
11. Fire
13. Explosion
14. Bizarre sexual experimentation
Bonus Deaths may not be combined. So if a celeb dies in a car that burst into flames and crashes as the result of some bizarre sexual experimentation it still only counts as one.
JokerEach player may
optionally choose a celebrity as a Joker.
If that celebrity dies during the course of the game you may nominate one of your remaining numbers to be removed from your card. If the Joker’s age is also on your card you can remove two numbers.
Multiple players can choose the same Joker.
Example
You will receive numbers in the following format: -
80 62 66 69 84 71 85 90 & Bonus Death Number 7
