The death of Veli Seppa should bring me to 263 which becomes the 4th highest total in AO history (behind Gerard Tierney '16, Cancerous Hatred '17 & Accthorp '06). If Tom Parker holds as the youngest hit, the 25 pt bonus would take me to 298 which would only trail #1 all-time by 10 points. Looking at my remaining list, not looking likely, but possible.

Not every musician/producer was an American Idol judge for over a decade, dawg

This was also new I found out today

Do you think he just showed up on American Idol off the street?

From a few days ago

I don't understand how it's simpler to make everyone set diego to ignore instead of just removing the functionality for one person

Please stop doing this. Just go here. mobile:

Also doesn’t give me any other winning picks for the time being. Need another unique.

Tomasz Wojtowicz is a unique hit for myself in Summer Olympic champions

With Brown I thought there was probably an 80% chance he’d QO. Didn’t pick him because he was going back to work in some capacity so I thought he’d probably make 2023. With recent news he would’ve been a lock for me in everything. How she goes sometimes.

a Vice President for a subpar Spanish football team got a QO so I’m not surprised anymore

Wrong.

I guess you played it on mute

As I was catching up on my short list... Mark Souder, former US congressman, dead at 72 from pancan.

Ah, apologies, misread

Liz Truss has a a thread no less than 2 weeks old with 3 pages of replies...

Gonna 100% disagree that it's shortsighted. The 20th century was ripe with innovation, conflict and the advancement of civilization that is highly unlikely to be repeated. Just compare the 19th and 20th centuries. Also, each of the events you mentioned happened over 50 years ago. Think about all the people that the Queen and the Commonwealth have ruled over. There are probably millions of people without even access to the Internet who know who the Queen is. When you factor in both importance, influence and notability, I don't think anybody has or will come close. That also includes Hitler.

I can't think of anyone living right now who'd even come close.

Queen Elizabeth is easily without question the biggest death of this century. There’s literally nothing that could top it.

Queen Elizabeth is a hit here

I was keeping tabs on her late last year which is why I had her in AltObits, seemed like a guarantee to me. Didn't pick her in anything else though because I thought she'd be a longshot for a QO, but yea I was terribly wrong on that front. My strategies for next year are gonna be mighty different. And yea I'm not too confident I'm gonna hold the lead here.

If I gather correctly I jump into the mix of potential winners with Michael Jopling

He got barely any local Canadian coverage of his illness, so it’s a tad surprising.
