markb4 907 Posted May 2, 2020 I had Sam Lloyd at my #6 slot sadly, in all meanings of the word . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torva Messor 281 Posted May 2, 2020 According to the GoFundMe page for Sam Lloyd, he died April 30, 2020 https://www.gofundme.com/f/dhfz9q-save-sammy Quote On April 30th at a respiratory facility in Los Angeles with his beautiful wife, Vanessa, at his side and his sister, Laurel, FaceTiming from New Hampshire, Samuel Lloyd Jr. left this earth and was reunited with his dad (Samuel Lloyd Sr.), his mom (Marianna McGuffin), and his brother (Jackson Lloyd). Wikipedia's page for Sam Lloyd also has a April 30 2020 death date for him. As of this posting I see obits from Variety, The Daily Heil, Toronto Sun... but the GoFundMe and the Wikipedia page have his date of death I have Sam Lloyd at the 180 points rank in my Windy City Deadpool 2019-2020, plus from what I read this also merits the 77-point bonus, for 257 points; closing my first year of WCDP at 2693 points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,255 Posted May 2, 2020 Congrats Grim. I’m still tempted to intentionally pair you two see if there’s a way I “accidentally” have you two up against each other somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormfarmer 429 Posted May 2, 2020 Anxiously awaiting an updated scorelist. My total has recently. . . . VERY recently taken a nice spike and I am looking for a good finish here. I just jumped 577 points with a last minute Sam Lloyd hit + bonus, plus 100 for the Chris Duncan bonus and my new total should be 2752. I figure it's not going to be enough to stay ahead of the other leaders that get Sam Lloyd points, but it's certainly going to bring me up from my last position posted at #11. Now if I can just earn a final 300 points by finding a John Starling obit I would probably comfortably have this in the bag . . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When taking into account Chris Duncan's death his Bonus points had put Grim in the lead after Genesis P-Orridge's death in March. And Grim was on pace to win the game almost all of April until the last 48 hours. The April 29 Goldberg hit had given DeathImpends the lead and what looked like the win.................and then Sam Lloyd dies in the last hours few hours and due to other players having him in higher spots on their team DI goes from 1st to 4th on the very last day and a game which hade 3 different leaders on the last 3 days. Tip of the cap to JoeyRuss for a 3rd straight top 3 finish Tip of the cap to Death Impends who was 1 day away from a 4th straight win Tip of the cap to GUN who was an Ed Genson QO coming in or Goldberg living 2 days longer from winning. 2nd runner up finish,both within 50 points from the title.Wouldn't bet against you eventually breaking through and winning Congrats to Clorox Bleachman on winning Always an impessive player,it will be hard for anyone to top this achievment of winning a year long long pool not just in the last days but last hours.

Congrats to Clorox - moving top in the last few hours is spectacular timing. Might get to say congrats to you again in 29 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,255 Posted May 3, 2020 I’m a bit annoyed at myself for thinking that Sprent Dabwido wouldn’t obitted, cause if I considered him I think I’m more likely to come in top.
