    Deathlist Cup 2023

    @gcreptile You wanted to go out on top. I think you're actually leaver on a higher note than that. Congratulations on the most one-sided victory in the history of this pool. I suppose you'll keep your secret for success just that, a secret. I will continue to check on the apparent list of immortals I selected this round. They are an assortment of deathbed, comatose, ventilator-aided, terminally ill souls. They may not have died this month, but I promise I will save face by year's end...and still not have enough points to have won. Well done!
