I think a third time is definitely not a great idea. I'll sum up final scores by the end of the year so that we've at least got a winner of this one! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 578 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) 96 were selected, but only 80 remain with us. First, the ones with the most hits must be at least recognized, congratulations to @drol and @CaptainChorizo on their scores of 5. However, that may not be enough to give you the crown. The scores on the doors (albeit with 1 day to go, so it COULD change in theory...) @drol: 31 @CaptainChorizo: 26 @John Key: 23 @arghton: 21 @chilean way: 21 @The Old Crem: 19 @Kenny: 19 @theoldlady: 17 @The Daredevil: 16 @P94: 16 @Hell: 14 @Thatcher: 13 @gcreptile: 10 @wannamaker: 9 @Great Uncle Bulgaria: 9 (the highest score with a singular hit) @Ulitzer95: 9 @MariNisia: 8 (the lowest score with multiple hits) @Doulton: 8 @LizLemon: 6 Myself: 4 @msc: 3 @Salmon Mousse: 2 @Bibliogryphon: 0 (sorry!) Our new Champ is (seemingly) drol, unseating Kenny. However, with a useful death tomorrow, John Key and Captain Chorizo could all propel themselves to a photo finish.
