At the beginning you said that you were not going to be biased for your character. The RP was carried out with what was "in your head" rather than any test of skill or luck. Your character wins. No one's going to believe that this was a fair and honest contest and participants are going to feel cheated. Even from a non-participant point of view, I don't see a point in having your own character in the race to begin with. In the end, it's another Tirah-shit-her-pants story.
Just lessons to learn if you plan on doing another one.
I agree. And I read a few of his stories. I don't know why he always writes about his characters shitting themselves. Nothing appealing about reading that.
