Join the new world

I have to write an article about this, and I hate that I have to do this. One of the things I hate most in this game is asking for support to win something, contrary to what people might see. In most cases when I run for President I do so reluctantly, when I feel like I need to, or after rapid rounds of convincing like in my first run. I’m not in this game to “win,” per say, but rather to continue generating conversations and move on with my life. I did that last time and Wild Owl has adopted many of the things I wanted him to, and now I am content.

But now we have the wheel. I am supposed to tell you that I want to win the wheel and that I am most deserving of this win. I’m not. Not by a long-shot. There are other people who are also undeserving of this, but I’m not going to move in that direction. I have seen the wheel, from its beginning, as a tool to recruit and engage. It has worked wonders in that regard. But the wheel was not meant for me. While I have enjoyed participating up to this point, at no moment was I really looking towards the end goal. The wheel was meant for those who lack a foundation in the game, or who lack a community to be a part of within the United States. I know who my friends and allies are, and I know who to look towards when I see a particular issue arising. With all its cruelty, humor, and demands, the Wheel has brought many new people into the fold who otherwise would not really have a compelling reason to participate. I value that intensely, and I think the win for the wheel should go to one of those people.

If you want to vote for me or comment, that’s on you, but should I ultimately win the wheel I’ll be re-gifting any rewards along with my own personal wealth to the people I believe should have won (we’ll leave names off of this for now). My own means aren’t that significant (about 60 gold and $10000 USD), but I trust that is a fair sum to add to whatever proceeds occur. My time in this game is coming to a close, and I’ve privately expressed that with a few people. I want to give others a leg up in any way that I can before I close the door.

Let's make the end of the wheel what the wheel was in the beginning, rather than turning it into another win for an old player. It’s time to decide, I hope you make the right choice.
