Well, I suppose it’s clear by now that we’ve been abandoned. Cham, Noncat, and Snow have all vanished, round five remains with no entries, and everyone who had prizes promised to them got the bone.
I can’t draw, nor do I have that much money or points, but I’m willing to take it upon myself to make things right. To the people who made it to round five, I will give you each 100 points. As for the round four folks, I am willing to give 50 points to you guys.
But I don’t want it to stop at myself, heavens no. I want everyone who still gives a good goddamn about the “winners” and gave one about this disaster of a tournament to help out as well. Draw those people pictures, give them points, or hell, give them premiums. I don’t care what random act of kindness you do for the people who deserve it; I just want to see it happen. And I’m sure they would, too.
But I want something from the RoA judges as well: effort. I and many others want you three to give a damn about the people you’ve passed judgment on. We want to be rewarded for making at as far as we did and enduring so much. Most of all, we want you to come out of the shadows and address this issue. Face the elephant in the room and come forward with something more valuable than some prizes: an apology.
YOU. Abandoned. US. Let’s make that crystal clear.
This is my effort to reconcile, and I hope you all will help. Because Lord knows that the judges won’t.
