gcreptile 11,037 Posted July 26 Yes, if there's an obit without the "lifelong dedication" etc... that would be good. Slightly strange that he didnt get a local shout out. There's still time though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, last time I checked (yesterday) I was VERY curious about him not having tweeted for 5 days. Well. I think that pretty much settles it? The game was between "acute cases" (wannamaker) and "in hospice for months" people (max_bossetti). It does look like the acute case of Dave Cokin now decides the championship. Cokin was a Las Vegas radio host and legend of the betting community. He also occasionally wrote articles for the Las Vegas newspapers, which means that he might get a Yahoo obit, and would QO for the DDP. He had his own website, too, and by all accounts was a respected member of this shadowy industry. Maybe Nate Silver will tweet something about him? Cokin had been battling cancer for over a year and just retired in June correctly expecting to not live much longer. Max_bossetti now only has Joanna Paul-Robie as a one-hit-winner. And there's no Fergie time here.... wannamaker 8-4 max_bossetti 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,037 Posted August 1 And so the game concludes. Winner of the DeathList Cup 2024 is @wannamaker, congratulations! Have a somewhat olympic-themed, AI-generated picture: (https://create.microsoft.com/en-us/features/ai-image-generator - prompt: "A deadpooler named wannamaker wins the gold medal in deadpooling") Also, congratulations to max_bossetti for reaching the finals. He defeated a couple of VERY heavy hitters in his first year participating in this competition. He's immediately put himself on the map with these results. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannamaker 1,420 Posted August 1 Thanks for the congratulations messages everyone, I never expected reaching the final, let alone winning the whole thing, so I'm still a bit surprised that I actually won this. Think I got lucky with some of my picks in the game, considering the hospice picks somehow survived longer than expected & I got at least one unique hit since April. I want to give my respects to @max_bossetti. I'm pretty sure this was his first cup, so managing to reach the final is an impressive feat and this surely makes him a top candidate for next year's competition. I'll admit that there was a period of time where I was begging for Chuwit Kamolvisit to stay alive because I stupidly forgot to add Jane McAlevey in my team. Well, that's about it, I'm horrible at doing acceptance speeches or whatever this is, so yeah, thanks for everything everyone . 10 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
