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.

You did not provide the gender, age, or outfit, so I'm going to assume female, 18, and nude except for hip waders.

Oh I'll find a way (I really won't be happy if I can't - as in won't get the chance to try anything). Trust me, you aren't going to stay down there forever. And if I am 100% confirmed dead, I should have forfeited and spectated. But woulda coulda shoulda is bullshit and is completely unacceptable to me.

Your life jacket nearly worked, but there was a leak in it that you were not aware of.
