||||||||| It's 3:15 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Rufus_T_Firetween - dead from Covid 19
||||||||| DJTweeny - dead from dengue fever
||||||||| Cease - dead from pneumonia
||||||||| Beet - dead from Globner's disease
||||||||| ModeratelyGinchy - dead from the common cold
||||||||| Not Ed - dead from the yaws
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 4 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:31 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
