I believe it is a convention for champions to get byes in the first round (see the Champions League, FA Cup, and ignore the flaws). Of course, we don't know the numbers for 2018 yet: might be 32! Might be 0, of course. Beating the big 3 of the forum back to back was an incredible achievement, and one I certainly didn't think was possible. A good way to crown our first champion, I think.

I'm very excited to have won the first Deathlist Cup. I just had a shot of scotch out of my skull shot glass (say that 3 times fast). Thanks to msc for creating a format that gives everyone a chance and lets Lady Luck have a hand. She certainly helped me (a bye, a coin flip after no hits, and then catching three more great players in lucky spots). Thanks to Pedro, Spade, DDT and Death Impends for your sportsmanship. Thanks to everyone who competed. Most of all, thanks to Emma Morano, Sasha Lakovic, Michelle Purchase, Paul van Zandvliet and especially Julia Perez for giving their all for the team. I'm hoping that under the circumstances, I'll get a bye next year.

He could be so good for you.

Where else would I post the cover of a kiddie fiddling video?

Why are you being so racist?

Congrats deadsox and indeed to all who played. I had a great time sitting back for 6 months, now I'm running two pools!

A hearty congrats to deadsox on his impressive underdog campaign. And as it turns out, the Diane Torr predicament was irrelevant to the end result - even if she lasted another day, or were her death announced on the 1st, deadsox would still have prevailed. Fun competition, hope to see it return next year. I liked having a pool besides Deathrace/Hare's that allowed you to utilize more eclectic, obscure names.

Err... take a look at the round-up. We got Keith Farnham on June 18th, Zoltan Sarosy on June 19th, Bill Woodson (died in February but only discovered in June), and Dave Rosser on June 27th.

Hmm, makes me think how many of the newsreaders/performers in the Morecambe and Wise "Nothing Like A Dame" sketch are living...

Yeh, who this white guy think he is?

Yes, I agree: all of the top DDP contenders in 2018 (bar me) should all pick Ian Smith on their teams.

Mod powers are to be used lightly. I ain't gonna try to overthrow Mugabe, can you imagine the chaos it would cause?

Bobby Muggs killing Roey here, ngl.

I'm only copying this so I can "like" it again. Once isn't enough.

Kohl scuttled.

Better yet Kenny Ortega - the guy who worked him to the bone with ridiculously tight schedules in the days before his death

My friend became a Dad at the age of 49. Just wrong on every level.

She married a billionaire....who would have seen that kid coming......as kids these days say #gold#digger Yeah, she'll be a first time mum at 50. So, she waited a while, then She's clearly as fucking mental as all the other Jacksons. A 50 year old fanny is roadkill enough without ruining it further by squeezing out a nine pound ball of weirdness.

For a moment I thought I had gone into some fucking great big timewarp and found myself on the pages of DL several years back into the past.

Why, what would you do if he didn't? Use your ancient, should-have-expired-years-ago mod powers to ban a salty but harmless juvenile from the Atlantic's armpit for a lame Roy Chubby Brown-type comment probably said half in jest, just to show us all you can? That'd show those silly people who characterise women as petty and twisted.

You'll take a warning point like a man yourself then?

We've had fireworks all night as well. October is becoming the Festival of Inconsiderate Fuckwits.

"Who's this guy? Why is he on the list if no one's ever heard of him?" "Too many old people. DeathList is getting lazy and unoriginal" "This list is against the rules because of Clause 125.6b in the DeathList rulebook which states that..." "When are you going to write the obituaries from the people that died last year?" "Why isn't Peter Falk...oh never mind"

A preview of things to come... (Insert Person Here) should have made the list... "This will get double figures!" "No Deaths in two months. Has Death finally given up?" "Hi, I'm a guest. Here's some random person no one has heard of who should have gone on your list, oops, he's dead already..." And other such memorable hits, all yours to see and adore in 2013...
