Day 2,571, 00:45 • Published in USA USA • by Aeriadne

Here's some music.

What an extraordinary few days it's been.

I don't know where we'll land. When the 5th comes, I can honestly say, I don't know who will be POTUS. But they are both deserving. In this dying hour, this twilit month of ours, we have found something we have lacked for quite some time. I don't know about you, but in the last few days, I've found myself smiling. There has been moment after moment where I have laughed and smiled unconsciously at the antics we have brought.

And that's beautiful.

They're both deserving. Come what may, either Deepchill or rainy sunday will give us a good month. And truthfully, that's all I wanted. An interesting race, a worthy race. A time when we could know that we were in good hands regardless. I wish them both the best of luck, unequivocally.

I have genuinely enjoyed the last few days, and I would like to thank the people who made it so interesting. To LordRahl2, to Kemal, to Delyruin and Paul Proteus. To Tenshibo. To dmjohnston. To Nicholas Ryan. To Candor. To Seppo. To all who helped hype the train into the incredible ride we shared, I say, truly and with my heart, I am proud.

We made it fun. For one moment, we made it all worth playing.

And to Deepchill, and to Trekker, and to everyone else: it's been a blast.

This? This is why we play. This is why we're all here. And come December 6th, I hope - whoever wins - tries for even more. I hope they take it to the next height, take it to where others find why they play as well. Reign in the world they are given and reach for that which we all wish: greatness.

We want this country to be great. We want each other to be great. The spirit of that community is alive, and I sincerely hope, with unapologetic passion, we keep that fire lit.

Thank you, one and all. And the best of luck to both Deepchill and rainy sunday.

Alea iacta est...
