Death Impends 7,360 Posted December 5, 2017 I just remembered I almost didn't have King Michael on my main team, only putting him on after one of my picks was DQed as FFBI. And that pick was none other than List of the Lost denizen Susanne Cameron-Blackie. Well such a chain of circumstances befits a game of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,360 Posted December 12, 2017 Had her as a B-team lock for next year... she came way closer to the new year than I would've thought at the time of picking her for this pool.
