On the opposite side of the scoreboard, mr.whit leap-frogs Bibliogryphon, but with excellent picks like Clive James and Fernando Ricksen on Biblio's team, a mid-table December comeback would not surprise me. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly thought for a while we might not get any hits at all in December, but after Christmas the Reaper decided it's the perfect time for carnage. No leaderboard changes however, DeathImpends remains on top. In fact, his lead grew thanks to Simon Ricketts. So, officially: DeathImpends wins Death By Numbers 2018! This is it - I am signing off as host. Thank you all for competing. Now, I pass the baton to gcreptile... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted January 1, 2019 With the hard cut off - let me say, congratulations DI! Stellar performance, the 5/5 of the replacements might have done it, as I only had 3/5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,008 Posted January 1, 2019 It was a game well played. Well done to Reptile as well for the close competition - kept it within a one-hit striking distance until the very final days of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
