the only people spinning words is you.
did I plan on a judging board? yes. did I guarantee it? no
in fact, you've never been given control of how the results were decided, yet a public vote would give you some control.. yet you speak against it.
it changes no rules. it does not change the way you would've made your game. it gives you better odds. that's why it's being done this way.
The time to ask such questions is certainly not now.
you sir, are annoying. people like you blow things entirely out of proportion. I don't "spin words" into anything, I'm trying to give the community a better result this year, because last year certainly wasn't the cleanest.
I'm doing all of this in the VERY little spare time I have left, and I don't appreciate people who shoot things down entirely just because it wasn't going to happen the way they thought it would. AND you have to be an asshole, too? you can state your opinion, but do not accuse me of lying. my decision is not negatively affecting fairness in any way.
