I'm picking 23 for the Death Count because it hasn't been taken yet. And it's one of those numbers you never suspect until it hits ya. Like an avalanche down the Lhotse Face! Wondering what numbers have already been picked? I went through the list and this is what's been chosen so far. If you see multiple names next to a number, it is because people are bad at picking numbers. I can't remember how we dealt with that last year because I'm snow tired.

Rondette, here is the updated DEATH POOL count list for the OP. I've having trouble finding dates for when the 2016 Everest climbing season officially starts. Most attempts are in April-May, so perhaps we should close entries maybe end of February or sometime in March. Also I'm not sure what to do about guessed numbers with more than three goons.   UPDATED DEATH POOL ENTRY COUNT As of February 6, 2016 -1 stab, elwood 0 Literally Kermit, Pvt Dancer, PostNouveau, Minrad, Mnoba -1+1 Robo Reagan (Mom dies but baby lives) 1 CaptainOblivious, Fumble 2 empty baggie, Cojawfee 3 Troublemaker, Shinjobi, Alan Smithee 4 The Light Eternal, StoneOfShame, gannyGrabber, Vape Bag 4.5 Popeahuntis 5 Microwaves Mom, Cliff Racer 6 Rondette, bradzilla, koreban 7 Anya, Vintimus Prime, The French Army!, 8 Electrical Fire, Nuggan, ranbo das, sesame_samuel_ 9 SaNChEzZ, SteveVizsla, ALL-PRO SEXMAN (“between 8 and 13”), Rolo 10 Quinctia, Shwqa, Hogge Wild, Jonesy (7 westerners and 3 sherpas) 11 Robo Reagan, Bob Loblaw, Amgard, GiantAmazonianOtter, SLICK GOKU BABY, Ziggy Starfucker 12 slinky triscuits, Dr.Smasher 13 Crusty Nutsack, Leperflesh 14 Tambaloneus, Dead Precedents, Cuckoo 15 Xibanya, Lasca 16 Comrade Koba, LongDarkNight 17 Day Man, BlueBlazer, Quantum Finger, twit666 18 BisonDollah, Picnic Princess 19 Nostalgia4Butts, Carl Seitan 20 Teddybear (“smallest available positive integer”) 21 Cymoril 22 Stars War 23 Nether Postlude 24 Cthulu Carl, pr0k 25 Arcsquad12 26 meiram 27 MorgaineDax 28 ChrisHansen, Mihai Zetta, c0ldfuse 30 Cowman, h3r0n (bonus option: LL Bean) 31 IKillForPie 33 RCarr 34 a messed up horse 35 mike12345 37 Anoia 39 DerekSmartymans 42 blowfish (bonus option: execution), Random Hajile (bonus option: explosion) 69 Nooner 88 tentative8e8op 162 Happy Hedonist 666 soy 42069666 ghostter Mtn The Goatfather All Chinatown, Mega64

RKRGoat posted:They have like 1/3rd of the oxygen their brain needs to function at that height. Plus, your body is actively dying above 8000m (it's called the "death zone" for a reason), you don't have good cognitive and reasoning skills (simple math is hard), it's cold as gently caress, and if you weren't in one of the first groups to go up that morning, you're probably stuck waiting in a queue to get back down the loving mountain. You're exhausted and you just want to sit down - just for a minute to rest. But you can't. 8000m is considered an extreme altitude, where the human body simply cannot acclimate and if you stay too long up there without supplemental oxygen, your body's functions will break down and you end up being Green Boots II of Shitshow Mountain. Good times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude_on_humans Nether Postlude fucked around with this message at 04:42 on May 15, 2016 |
