Yes, I guess this will be the litmus test. Thought the one person who plays despots might've had Fazlullah but it seems not. Haven't heard anything yet regarding Vader, so no points update as yet.

June has been quiet for the AO deadpool. However, I do get to make a little noise. I had Leon White / Big Van Vader in the deadpool. I just sent an e-mail to the Deadpool staff with a link to the Sports Illustrated obituary. An update should be forthcoming sometime soon.

I guess we have the answer as to why Vader hadn't tweeted to that point (and never tweeted again).
