The bracket has been drawn..... proof above. Seeds were determined by the order on the first page of this thread, and the ten current games were seeded in order of the scoreboard in the previous post. Some matchups were too long for the fields I guess. So the next round will be: AltObitsGuy vs. theoldlady or BabyBlue Perhaps vs. The Killing Time Spade_Cooley vs. GuyFromFuture or LizLemon Hell vs. Gooseberry Crumble or Famous6eva Grim Up North vs. Yorkshire Banker or Death By Arsenic Captain Chorizo vs. arghton wannamaker vs. Wormfarmer or Thatcher MariNisia vs. JoeMoneypenny Banana vs. GreatUncleBulgaria or Mortal Caso Annami vs. Sideik deadsox vs. CalebH or Bibliogryphon msc vs. livingbygrace or Therewillbedeaths7 DevonDeathTrip vs. The Immortal or justonecornetto Sir Creep vs. diego An Fear Beag vs. Dying Probably or max bossetti Captain Hemlock vs. The Old Crem And future rounds will go from there... Edit: Well, I just noticed that the brackets aren't really random. It's simply 1vs32, 2vs31, 3vs 30 and so on.... It ensures that the top-seeded numbers 1 and 2 are on different halves of the board etc.... However, I will keep it as it is, lest it turns into an order that I "feel" is right. I'll try to go for something more random next year, I guess. And I am not mad with what it turned out to be.

Hage Geingob, third (and incumbent) President of Namibia serving since 2015, reportedly dead aged 82. Also served as Prime Minister from 1990-2002 and 2012-2015.

I am once again repeating my opinion that this guy does not seem to be that much of a despot or a despot at all.

I had never heard of Eloise before this game.

Hamrin was the last living 1958 Finalist. Now the earliest living finalists are those of 1962, Brazilian Amarildo and Czech Josef Jelinek.

First Namibian president to die. Survived by his 89 and 95 years old predecessors Pohamba and Nujoma. Pohamba received surgery in 2022, looked quite bad on his 88th birthday last year and has been absent from the public scene for a while. Nujoma looks fine, but has been in ICU a pair of times in recent years and rumours of impeding demise float around once in a while.

Pope Sisinnius died on this day 1316 years ago, aged 58. - Sisinnius was born in what is now modern-day Syria, and his father's name was John. Not much else is known of his life before he became pope. - After Pope John VII's death in October of 707, Sisinnius was elected pope. However, there was a three-month delay between his election and consecration due to the Byzantine Empire's representative needing to confirm him to the emperor. - Sisinnius would consecrate a bishop for the island of Corsica, and ordered Rome's walls to be reinforced with limestone due to past raids. - The above two actions were Sisinnius' only things he did as pope, because he died after a three-week papacy (the fifth-shortest of any pope). Sisinnius had suffered from severe gout that affected his ability to feed himself, and during that time period, 58 was considered to be old age (instead of mid-life nowadays). - Sisinnius would be succeeded as pope by Pope Constantine.

Alice Cooper is 76.

He was just announced this week for the new Faulty Towers stage show in the West End where he is to play the Major.

3/2/24 13:46 hrs 32 The Kinks — Waterloo Sunset -6 20 The Beach Boys — God Only Knows 16 Barry Ryan — Eloise +4 Elouise is a superior track than the others. The other 2 are meh! But that's IMO.

Yes, she's out of hospital now so crisis over, thanks.

Or to be confused with Paul Young, the lead singer of Sad Café (deceased).

Dr. Lowitja O'Donoghue, one of Australia's most celebrated Indigenous activists, has died. She was 91. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-04/celebrated-indigenous-leader-dies-aged-91/102277300

Model and pornographic actress Poonam Pandey faked her death in order to raise awareness about cervical cancer. Ok, now fuck off.
