I still thought I might lose because someone's joker would die on New Years Eve, which would give 1000pts, I think. 976 points to be exact. The realistic max score for a pick - however it's possible to score 1476 if you get a 25th hit on new years eve (I hope someone does it one day). So don't get too comfortable if you're 1475pts ahead on the 30th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 20,915 Posted October 21, 2017 So, it gets interesting now. Deaths on or after October 28th gain 300+ points. Some of us have plenty of potential topplers left, some obviously are just better at predicting demises, he he. Will there be a surprise tortoise who gains 10 hits in December? Stay tuned for more...leaderboards... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,210 Posted October 21, 2017 Congrats to msc for breaking the hits record. Meanwhile, me, Grim, and Death Impends are currently at 13 out of 25. But Sean is currently in third place, and he only have 11 hits. This is starting to get down to the wire as we get to the last two months... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,069 Posted October 21, 2017 Down to 10th? Fuckall.

That would suprise me an awful lot. When I first set the game up I considered making the year in points the win point thinking i would be quite difficult to achieve. Nearly a thousand points above that as a winning total would further compound the "I was wrong feeling" but good to see we can hit the highwater. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
