As had I, before today.

Frankly, I believe that such an approach would be entirely justified on the basis that the "losers" "lost" not because they were outplayed by their competitors, but because the cards were stacked against them.

Although "disillusioned players" is a more apposite term than "poor losers".

Oh well that's OK then. Since you were so gracious as to not rig one vote, we should overlook you rigging this one.

I can understand your points about the deadline. The uncertain deadline actually made the game more interesting, as it was always a risk whether to put in a "safe" vote or wait and risk missing the deadline. But, plotting and scheming takes up a fair bit of time and it is rather galling to see that all go to waste on the moderator's whim. Indeed, it makes one wonder whether it is worth the effort.

And since, unfortunately, it looks like the game is likely to continue in the same vein, then I can see little point in continuing. There just ain't no fun in it any more.

So, the Alliance of Ultra-DOOM is hereby formally dissolved (for now, at least). Do with the remaining contestants as you wish.
