Well at least I lost to the eventual champion...twice.
I don't like when people call this version a 'sham' or 'mockery' or something equally annoying because it ruins the mood for the rest of us. If you are upset about the voting make your voice heard through your votes rather than your complaining.
The above may have lead to the decline in voting but there were also outside factors, and hopefully they reminded us that there are far more things more important than screen name tournaments and that life is a precious thing. We'll get em next time, Prot.
