The Last Roundup

DW2K7ers,
Well, it's been a great year, insofar as death is concerned.
This is the time of year where I encourage each player to double-check each person on her list to make sure that nobody was missed.

Time is growing short, and if nothing changes in the next couple of days, Thanatos Therapeuticus will wrestle the 2007 crown away from defending 2006 champ Roger Mortis. The OFFICIAL results will not be posted for another week after the 2nd, as we wait for obscure deaths to be reported and for dead bodies to be found.

DeathWatch 2008 is up and running, with this year's rules posted for now, as we await everyone's new lists. Please go there and bookmark it!

In the past couple of weeks, we've had several deaths that we were too busy to post on--Suzanne Pleshette, Allan Melvin (who I actually have on my list), Suharto, Christian Brando, and others. We also had relatively rushed coverage on Heath Ledger, but hey, we probably weren't going to make fun of him anyway. Please accept our apologies for the loss of focus in recent weeks.

Thanks for playing in 2007, and we look forward to serving you with only the best death coverage in 2008!
