Popular Post Miguel Sanchez Posted January 1, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 Week 53 update Forgive me if I'm not as effusive as I should be.

Popular Post Miguel Sanchez Posted January 1, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2023 CONGRATULATIONS JUSTONECORNETTO! He's been playing for as long as I've been running this and probably longer and finally, he gets a win. 766 points from 10 hits is some return. He beat's alta-pete's points record by just 6 points, so it's certainly been a year for the record books. Just don't follow it up with a year like Pete's and you'll be fine - @JustOneCornetto In second place is @Indale Winton, another long-term player who puts in a fantastic performance that I would be absolutely furious to not win with. Better luck next year chief. I'd tag Bishop Briggs but I can't. He was in the lead for months then Pele ruined it all. I have no idea if he's back or not, but it was still a great year from a former winner. As ever, my thanks and apologies to everyone else playing this year. I feel as if I've not made too many mistakes or misses this year, but I await Aim Here correcting me in a few minutes. From my point of view, we're never going to have a year where Pele and The Pope die in the final week of the year, so it's never going to be this busy to close out the game again. If you're playing in 2023 then good luck, if you're gone then hurry back, and if you forgot then... where are your priorities, really? 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Just had a look through that final spreadsheet - is it normal for none of the hits to have popped their clogs due to unnatural causes? We’ve had Peaches Geldof, Whitney Houston and Philip Seymour Hoffman in years gone by - any more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are usually some interesting picks made with the expectations of murder but they don't really pan out. I upped the points for an Unnatural Causes bonus this year, we'll see if it pans out.
