As with every deadpool, it's a learning curve to familiarize yourself with the particulars. Witness my spectacular 46th place finish my first year playing it (out of 59 teams). Thought I knew what I was doing but was mostly clueless. Different scenario year two, but still not a top ten finish.

And a little luck never hurts, with Daily Doubles, birthday hits and bonus points for people who die during the last week of the calendar year.

That she is. Turned 89 earlier this year.
