The Rules – Learn them, Live them

You’re closing in on the promised land, brothers and sisters, but there’s some crucial info you’re going to need to help you cross over. Anyway, you can’t have much more fun with a keyboard than you’ll have using The stiffs.com Select-O-Matic to create and enter your lists. Arguably the most successful symbiosis of computer technology and human function since the Orgasmatron, the Select-O-Matic is a veritable cyberboner.

We’ll get to the cyberboner in a minute, but first, YOU MUST READ THIS PAGE in order to get a basic understanding of the rules. If you want more detail, you can always follow the links to our usual boring dissertations, but the stuff on this page is absolutely required. Also worth knowing is that once again, we’re joining forces with the late, great Pistol Pete Maravich to try and save you some money. In the meantime, here’s that mind-numbing prize breakdown we mentioned on some other part of the site.

Yeah, yeah – no more cash.  We know.  The lawyers said something about “It’s not really gambling, but the banks hate you giving away cash, so you have to give prizes, blah blah blah.”  We weren’t really listening, honestly – these people should know by now that happy hour starts at 10am and ends at 4pm (then starts again at 5pm).  But we learned a long time ago not to piss off banks or lawyers – so here we are.  What we have now is tiers of prizes from which you can choose – so check it:

Tier 1 Prizes

  • 60 inch LED HDTV – INSANE for watching porn.  Trust us.
  • Vegas Vacation (2 nights in a room at The Hard Rock Hotel, Show Tickets and 2 gourmet lunches and dinners) – everything is legal there.  Lots of trouble to be had.
  • A brand new MacBook Air – 13 inch, latest model, 128GB storage – for browsing your favorite website.  Or Stiffs.com – whatever.

Tier 2 Prizes

  • iPad Mini – 32GB, latest model – It’s like an iPad, but smaller!
  • 32 inch HD TV – still really, really good for watching porn

Tier 3 Prizes

  • Apple TV – it connects to your TV and does a bunch of stuff.  Ask Apple.
  • Apple Watch – connects to your smartphone and does all kinds of shit.
  • Remote controlled quadcopter with built in camera – for MAKING porn.  Of your neighbors.

Ready to claim your piece of that pie? Here are The Ten Commandments Of Death:

  • Each entry is made up of 10 famous people, listed in the order of their certainty. The one you think is most likely to die should be #1 on your list.
  • For the Lee Games, whoever gets the most deaths wins, but in the event of any ties, points are awarded according to position. Number 1 is worth 10 points, #2 is worth 9 points, etc. These points ONLY come into play in case of ties. The number of deaths is the primary factor in winning the game.  For the Three Bagger, the game runs until one or more people get three hits.  The the positions are decided by points.   [more detail]
  • The number eleven slot on each list is for an alternate, which is ONLY used if one of your other ten celebs dies, or is discovered to be dead, between when you submit your list and when the game starts. The alternate is NEVER used under any other circumstances. [more detail]
  • You can’t kill anybody, or even try to scare them or make them sick or anything.
  • You may only list human beings, and they must be what WE consider celebrities. There are two ways for candidates to qualify as celebrities.
  • The people in the Select-O-Matic are all considered celebrities. That’s one way, OR
  • You may write in any name that’s not on that list and it will be submitted to The stiffs.com Fame Committee. If 15% or more of the Committee Members can positively identify a write-in candidate by NAME ALONE, that name will be ruled Famous. If less than 15% can ID a name to the satisfaction of The Commissioner, that candidate will be ruled Not Famous. [more detail]
  • Any candidate ruled Not Famous by the Committee is disqualified for the duration of this game. Disqualified names will NOT be replaced by alternates and all rulings by the Committee are FINAL.
  • No other definitions of celebrity have any bearing on this contest, including those from prior stiffs.com games. The rulings made by The stiffs.com Fame Committee are completely independent of all other measures of fame.

That pretty much covers the basics. If you’re some kind of fine print pervert, you can read the official rules. Or you can give us a little RESPECT, and read about how it all evolved to this point.
