Its a lot like an office baby pool, but theres a lot more blooactually, yeah, its like a baby pool. Heres how it works. Gather everyone who wants to play, then decide on the prize.

Once you have all of your players, everyone picks a set number of characters 5 to 1. You can take turns picking characters, draft style, or let everyone pick whoever they want. Keep track of the deaths as the season goes on. Classic death pool rules suggest you play to a set number of deaths. So for example, if youre playing with five characters, say, the first person to earn three deaths is the winner. Meslow prefers to use a weighted system with his crew, however You pick five characters from the entire cast, and rank them from most to least likely to die by the end of the seasonJaime Lannister, Olenna Tyrell, that snotty little kid at the Valewith points awarded as soon as a character gets killed off. Microsoft Office 2010 Kms. If you put Jaime at the top of your list and he gets eaten by a dragon, you get five points. If you put him at the bottom of your list, you get one. And if you dont list him at all, youd better hope none of your rivals did, either. Meslow is also running a life pool this season since its sure to be a bloodbath.

The Atari Jaguar is a home video game console that was developed by Atari Corporation.

The Atari Jaguar is a home video game console that was developed by Atari Corporation. The console was the sixth and last programmable console to be developed under. Controversially, Atari marketed the Jaguar as being the first 6. Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the 3. DO Interactive Multiplayer platform which launched the same year. Development on the Atari Jaguar started in the early 1. Flare Technology, who were tasked by Atari to create two consoles the Atari Panther, which would compete with the Genesis and the Super NES, and a successor, the Jaguar, which would surpass the capabilities of any other console on the market at the time. With development of the Jaguar running ahead of schedule, the Panther was cancelled, and the release of the Jaguar was pushed forward. It was originally released to test markets in New York City and San Francisco in November 1. Cybermorph as the pack in launch game. The consoles multi chip architecture made game development for the console difficult, and underwhelming sales further contributed to the consoles lack of third party support. This, in addition to the lack of internal development at Atari, led to a limited games library, comprising only 6. Atari attempted to extend the lifespan of the Jaguar by releasing a CD ROMadd on known as the Atari Jaguar CD and marketing the Jaguar as the low cost next generation console, with a price tag over 1. With the release of the Sega Saturn and Sonys Play. Station in 1. 99. Jaguar continued to fall, ultimately selling no more than 2. The Jaguar was deemed a commercial failure, and prompted Atari to leave the home video game console market. After Hasbro Interactive bought out Atari in the late 1. Jaguar were released into the public domain, with the console being declared an open platform. Since then, the Jaguar has gained a cult following, with a developer base that produces homebrew games for the console. HistoryeditDevelopmenteditThe Jaguar was developed by the members of Flare Technology, a company formed by Martin Brennan and John Mathieson. The team had claimed that they could not only make a console superior to the Genesis or the Super NES, but they could also be cost effective. Impressed by their work on the Konix Multisystem, Atari persuaded them to close Flare and form a new company called Flare II, with Atari providing the funding. Flare II initially set to work designing two consoles for Atari Corp. One was a 3. 2 bit architecture codenamed Panther, and the other was a 6. Jaguar however, work on the Jaguar design progressed faster than expected, so Atari Corp. Panther project to focus on the more promising Jaguar. The Jaguar was unveiled in August 1. Chicago Consumer Entertainment Show. The Jaguar was introduced in 1. IBM. The system was initially available only in the test markets of New York City and San Francisco, under the slogan Do the Math,3 claiming superiority over competing 1. A U.

Jaguar sales were substantially below Ataris expectations, and Ataris business and financial results were materially adversely affected in 1. Atari continued to invest heavily in Jaguar game development, entered into arrangements to publish certain licensed titles and reduced the retail price for its Jaguar console unit. Atari attributes the poor performance of Jaguar to a number of factors including i extensive delays in development of software for the Jaguar which resulted in reduced orders due to consumer concern as to when titles for the platform would be released and how many titles would ultimately be available, and ii the introduction of competing products by Sega and Sony in May 1. September 1. 99. 5, respectively. The lack of titles was attributable to two main factors the Jaguars questionable long term prospects among third party game publishers and the problematic nature of developing games for the Jaguar. Atari had one opportunity to convince third party developers, vital for the diversity of Jaguars game library, with a solid retail performance, but as things played out, post holiday sales figures questioned the viability of Ataris business Atari failed to attract many third party developers already committed to other game platforms. In addition, the Jaguars underlying hardware was crippled by a flaw in the CPUs memory controller, which prevented code execution out of system RAM. Less severe defects included a buggy UART. The memory controller flaw could have been mitigated by a mature code development environment, to unburden the programmer from having to micromanage small chunks of code. Jaguars development tools left much to the programmers own implementation, as documentation was incomplete. Writing game code was often an endurance exercise in the tedious assembler. In a July 1. 99. 5 interview with Next Generation, then CEO Sam Tramiel declared that the Jaguar was as powerful, if not more powerful, than the Sega Saturn, and slightly weaker than the Play.
