Well, congratulations to Hughento! Not only did you manage to lead a very lengthy competition to completion without almost any hitches but on top of that, spawned a survivor craze on the forum .
And it won't fade soon, believe me...
Congratulations Hughento, GMantis is right.
I was one "hard client", but Hughento has remained zen and that was a very lively Survivor.
In Survivors, as in many things (
), what is most interesting and pleasant is the process, not the result.
And the winner perfectly fits the principle that country leaders should be judged on their merits and not on their countries, so despite all partisan shenanigans, the forum did a pretty good job in selecting the best world leader.
Even if I didn't vote for him and tried (very unsuccessfully !) to oust him earlier, and whatever some may think of my ballot-stuffing, I think it's a good choice: reasonable and upon its own merits, as GMantis has rightly written.
Nasheed is a real surprise (not in the end, of course): in the beginning, nobody would have thought he could win. Johnson-Sirleaf was quoted, but not him.
