I had Sam Lloyd at my #6 slot sadly, in all meanings of the word :( .

According to the GoFundMe page for Sam Lloyd, he died April 30, 2020

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.

That has to be one of the unluckiest 48-hour spans for any deadpooler

 

Even if it is a misfortune that benefits me I still feel for you, you've got to get even with me in a future pool :biggrin:

 

Heh a few hours after this post and Grim's revenge is already achieved!

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. :D

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 . . . .

Well, if that’s the case I’ll try to rig the cup draw to put you against Clorox next time so that you can prove a comeb...

Let me know if I missed any names or made an error

 

 

This has been one of the most rollercoaster finishes to a game I can recall

 

I hadn't added the youngest hit bonus in my previous Scoreboards . 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.      

 

:hatsoff:Tip of the cap to JoeyRuss for a 3rd straight top 3 finish

:hatsoff:Tip of the cap to Death Impends who was 1 day away from a 4th straight win

:hatsoff: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

 

 

:bow: Congrats  to Clorox Bleachman on winning:bow:

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.

 

 

Thanks for playing everyone

Thanks - my 3 subs all died too - it was the Ed Genson non QO that made all the difference though.

 

Congrats to Clorox - moving top in the last few hours is spectacular timing. Might get to say congrats to you again in 29 days.

Thanks for running. Think that's my third third-bottom performance in a pool in recent (last 6) months.  I am nothing if not consistent.

I was tasting success when I raked 677 points to finish on the last day but I still can only manage 8th place!  Damn, you guys are good.  Even throw in 300 for John Starling's No Obit and I only finish 3rd.  Damn!  Did I say you guys are good?:bow:

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. However, these things happen. 
Congrats Clorox on a very well deserved win though...
