I know that Mamacita, Gwai, and I have won at least once. I can't remember if I've won twice.

I got two on one day in 2009. Has that happened to anyone else? (Yeah, I was looking over my shoulder for about a week.)

I think Uriel won twice in a row perhaps.

I remember that Uriel chose centenarians on at least one occasion to make sure he didn't win.

I think that was after he's won twice, but I'm not positive.

Once again, everyone I picked failed to die. Unfortunately, some of them couldn't afford my retainer this year, so I haven't entered the 2014 contest.

Rogue,

I propose a special suspension of the rules to let Gwai and Hart enter this year's competition.
The stipulation being they must use the exact same list.

I think I won once and got the quantity not quality award once, but those might have been the same year. My son thinks this is hilarious. He and his sister always discuss the new year's list with me during Christmas break. Aren't we a lovely family!

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

I have never won anything.

Not just on the death pool. I have just never won anything.

Loser - that's me.

There's a world of difference between a loser and a non-winner. Although whinging can turn someone into a loser.

I won one year, felt so bad didn't enter the next year. Then another year I knew a couple of people well enough known to be publicly acknowledged, who were likely to die shortly and didn't feel like putting them on the list (one did die that February and was worth 48 points).

Uriel did centenarians after winning, definitely.

I don't think he won twice, but he won by 20 lengths going away (I think I came in tied for second that year, about 150 points behind).
