Game of Throne Death Pool

Game of Thrones Death Pool

OBJECTIVE

Pick a death list with all the characters you believe will die in season 7.

RULES

  • You SCORE points by having characters who DIE in season 7 on your list.
  • You LOSE points by having characters who SURVIVE season 7 on your list.
  • Less points are awarded to 'obvious' deaths than 'unpredictable' ones.i.e. if fewer people have a character on their death lists, it will be worth more points if they die and vice versa.
  • A character 'dies' if it is confirmed by the end of season 7 that they have perished or have become 'undead'.
  • In cases of ambiguity the Game Master decides.

CLARIFICATIONS

Concerning characters who are raised from the dead

Characters are considered to have died, even if they are raised from the dead, IFF their character is significantly transformed by the death experience.

Examples:

  • Jon Snow came back, still only had one facial expression. Verdict : NOTDEAD
  • Beric Dondarrion came back, still is the same wise-ass. Verdict: NOTDEAD
  • Gregor Clegane came back, OMG WHAT IS THAT THING?! Verdict: DEAD

SCORING

  • The points scored per CORRECT character is (NP - CHAR)²
  • The points deducted per INCORRECT character is ((NP - CHAR)/2)²

where

  • NP = Number of Players
  • CHAR = Number of lists with that Character on it

for example:

  • With 6 players and 2 lists with that DEAD character, having that character on your list is worth (6-2)*2 = 16 points
  • With 6 players and 5 lists with that DEAD character, having that character on your list is worth (6-5)*2 = 1 point
  • With 6 players and 2 lists with that SURVIVING character, having that character on your list will deduct ((6-2)/2)*2 = 4 points

TIMELINE

  • Voting closes when the 'Dragonstone' episode airs on July 16, 2017
  • Winners will be announced at the season finale viewing party
