The FOFC TV & Movie Death Draft Signup Thread -- Need one more

[DeToxRox]

It's about time for a new movie FOFC Draft, and this time around I feel like we need to kick it up a notch by having a draft dedicated to the best deaths in television and movie.

This will have plenty of spoilers, so be advised in following or participating in this draft you will have things ruined for you at some point.

The rules are simple. We have several categories to choose from, and then we put our rosters up for a vote on FOFC.

The draft will not be so rigid with time constraints, though it is my discretion at when a pick is taking too long.

We can take 12 people for this, with present company included.

Here are the subjects:

Best Death in a Dramatic movie
Best Death in a Comedic movie
Best Death in an Action movie
Best Death in a Horror Movie
Best Death in a Television Show
Best Gunshot Death [TV or movie]
Best Mele Weapon Death [TV or Movie]
Best Explosion Death [TV or Movie]
Best Suicide [TV or Movie]
Best Serial Killer [TV or Movie]

A pretty healthy list to work with here, so it could take some time. If you're not prepared to invest a little more time then the average Draft, then do not sign up.

Let's fuck shit up.

[cartman]

I'm down with the sickness.

[spleen1015]

I'll do it. Someone has to finish last.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

This sounds awesome and I'll gladly follow along - but not going to participate.

[larrymcg421]

I'd definitely like to participate.

[DeToxRox]

We're 1/3rd the way there.

[Lathum]

I enjoy a good draft, in if it's ok

[Swaggs]

This should be interesting, as I can only think of a handfull of really memorable deaths off the top of my head. I'll be following along.

[DeToxRox]

Lathum is in

[wade moore]

I've got a reputation, so I'm just going to watch this one ;).

[cartman]

I've got a reputation, so I'm just going to watch this one ;).

STOP CAUSING PROBLEMS!!!!

;)

[DeToxRox]

Bump.

[lordscarlet]

I've got a reputation, so I'm just going to watch this one ;).

That won't stop me!!!! :-D

If you're struggling to find people I'm in. I'm somewhat afraid I will slow the draft down if I do it, but I will try to get lists together if you put me in.

[DeToxRox]

LS is in.

[Schmidty]

I'm in if I can still do it.

[DeToxRox]

5 to go

[lordscarlet]

This is actually going to be very tough for me.. I don't know if I'm well versed enough to do well. :)

We'll see how it goes!

[DeToxRox]

Bump.

[DeToxRox]

Bump it. Sign up, pussies.

[spleen1015]

Yeah, pussies.

You're scared of me. I know it.

[Lathum]

Detox, I am having major connection issues from home and don't want to slow things down so I will have to back out.

Hope everyone has fun!

[ntndeacon]

yea sure I am game.

[Lorena]

this'll be a fun read. i'm guessing my netflix Q will be updated once this is over.

[stevew]

IN

[AENeuman]

Might be interesting if a director and/or character could only be used once.

[stevew]

No multiple Kenny deaths

[Radii]

hm, I don't watch a lot of horror so I might be at a disadvantage here, but why not, I'm in.

[ntndeacon]

yea my horror knowledge is extremely limited... but lests run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes

[Sun Tzu]

Count me in bitches.

[DeToxRox]

Updated. If we get two more by the end of the night, say like 10 or 11 pm, we'll go to 12, otherwise we'll stick with what we have.

Since the majority is in let us talk specific rules.

I think Movie Franchises should be a package deal. So if you pick Girls Gone Wild 1, then GGW 2-15 or whatever are unavailable as well.

We can open it up to directors/actors as well.

[cartman]

I'm of the mind that the less rules there are, the better.

[DeToxRox]

I'm of the mind that the less rules there are, the better.

I'd agree with this.

I think the one main rule should be Movie Franchises is one and done, that leave it there.

[cartman]

I'd agree with this.

I think the one main rule should be Movie Franchises is one and done, that leave it there.

Even that I would be a bit hesitant about, since there has been a lot of bleed over between movie franchises.

[Sun Tzu]

I'm with big Blue on this one...movie franchises should be one and done. Fuggedabadit.

[Radii]

one per TV Series too. No need for any other rules past that IMO.

[cartman]

My preference, if we do decide to go with one per movie series or one per TV show, is that the rule only applies to a single voter, and doesn't take the movie series or TV series out of play for someone else.

[DeToxRox]

That is fine with me.

I think this is the way to go actually because horror movies is not really a big category for a lot of people it seems, so if someone picks a popular franchise, of which there are 3 or 4 huge ones, then it'll make things harder for those already with a vague idea of the category.

Plus we have 10 rounds, so at 120 picks we could use a little leeway for people.

[Radii]

yeah I'm really fine with whatever, I just want to make sure we apply similar rules to movies and tv series

[Karlifornia]

PUT ME IN

[DeToxRox]

PUT ME IN

Dunzies.

[spleen1015]

I don't have a preference on limits. I'm ready to get started. :D

[Radii]

btw, quick clarification, all the other categories specificy movie, tv or both:

Best Death in a Drama
Best Death in a Comedy

what about those?

[spleen1015]

I figured they were for movies since there is one specifically for a TV show.

Movie, sorry about that. I'll edit.

I figure those categories will make people think more which is why I included them.

[stevew]

I think the less rules the better. If you want to denote for the voters the second and subsequent times a character was used it would be great. So Wish Bear suffocating Friend Bear would be the first usage. Champ Bear drowning Grumpy Bear could be marked with a bolded 2.

[DeToxRox]

Bump it up.

[DeToxRox]

Sign up or become your own movie death.

Man, the version of care bears that you got was WAY better than the one that my sister watched when we were growing up.

[DeToxRox]

If no one signs up by tomorrow we'll roll with 11.

[stevew]

Let's start this now!

And I will need a PM when it is my pick if possible. I already have some awesome thoughts.

[cartman]

Ok, so if I'm reading the previous posts about the rules correctly, the ONLY rule we have is:

An individual voter, once they have picked from a particular TV show or movie franchise, may not make another pick from that TV show or movie franchise. It does not take the TV show or movie franchise out of play for other voters.

sound about right?

[spleen1015]

Works for me.

Yes sir.

[DeToxRox]

You all have one last chance to sign up. I have a final exam that was moved back to 7 tonight when it was supposed to be at 3, so with that said I'll be doing more studying to get it done now.

I'll be home by nine and that's when the the draft order will be made and we go.

First person to sign up gets it.

[lordscarlet]

I might have to drop out of this. I'm trying to write down ideas.. I only have one category with more than 1 thought, and I have one that is blank. I just don't think I know this theme well enough.

[AENeuman]

Ok, I would like to take a stab at this.

[DeToxRox]

Just checking in from a break. AEN is in. With LS on the fence we'll need one more potentially so keep coming.

[spleen1015]

You're not the only one in this boat.

It'll be fun!

[lordscarlet]

I don't know about that so much. :) I'll still do it if a spot needs to be filled, but expect my picks to suck. :)

[spleen1015]

You and I can compete for last place.

[lordscarlet]

You and I can compete for last place.

Good luck!

[DeToxRox]

Bump. I am not sure if LS is in but if someone is for sure wanting in we'll fire it up with the draft order tonight.

[Buccaneer]

Did you forget that AENeuman signed up?

[DeToxRox]

Did you forget that AENeuman signed up?

Whoops. Forgot to add him on the list but counted him. Just waiting to see if LS is gonna stick it out.

[lordscarlet]

I'll stay in.

[DeToxRox]

Balls. Okay I am going to do a draft order here in a sec and we can begin.

[cthomer5000]

I think a "most heroic death" category would have been good.

[DeToxRox]

I think a "most heroic death" category would have been good.

Hmm. This is very very true. Fuck it it's added. What's one more round?

[lordscarlet]

Is hte order just the same as signup order?

[DeToxRox]

Is hte order just the same as signup order?

I went to randomnumbers.org and made a list based off the signup order.

[lordscarlet]

yeah, my bad -- hadn't looked at the other thread. :)
