(Tied for) 52nd out of 104. It’s like my daddy always said, “son, whatever you do in life, always shoot for being right in the middle.” ---

:dubious: A little fishy that amarone comes out on top. Two deaders and 41st place. Better than usual for me. Great job as usual. Thanks for all the work you put in. ---

Hey, #33, one of my best! I got two dead also. Thanks **amarone** , for all the hard work you put in. I hope Death takes into account all you’ve done for him. OK, back to rooting for the four evil dictator bastards on my 2011 list to kick off. ---

Sixth place isn’t bad considering I don’t think anyone on my list kicked off after somewhere around June. I’m still annoyed at myself for missing out on Pat Burns. Thanks **amarone** Good luck to all in 2011! There looks to be some worthy competition this year. ---

All right, a big ol’ goosegg for 2010! ☹ Here’s hoping it hatches into something for 2011. Thanks for all your amazing Deathpool managing, **amarone**. I have no idea how you do it other than spreadsheets are involved somehow, but I am always impressed by how you keep up with it all. _applause_ ---

Thanks for running this, **amarone**. Not a bad rookie year for me - tied for 33rd place with 59 points and 2 deaths, as well as being top performer for the month of July. ---
