Personalities chosen for your list must be real people, that is, homo
sapiens
You may not choose a personality currently under a death sentence adjudicated
by a recognized government (e.g. Timothy McVeigh is unacceptable, Salmon
Rushdie is okay)
You may not in any way, either directly or indirectly, influence or cause
the demise of any personality named in, or associated with, this pool. This
will result in your immediate disqualification. Also, you may be opening
yourself up to certain legal repercussions, the severity of which is dependent
on the jurisdiction, and the diligence of the relevant constabulary in bringing
you to justice. It’s just not worth it, especially since we’re
not playing for money!
You may place your own name on your list. We call it "Taking One for the
Team". However, the above rule still holds true, so if you commit suicide,
you will be disqualified.
Elvis is dead! Get used to it. Don’t put him on your list!
