Response to MARP Tournament - Final Games entered

The weird thing is...I don't even think I saw Zzyzzyxx listed on the tourney page...=) I'd be fine without Pac Man (especially if Neil Chapman resurfaces) but I feel a little slighted with the Badlands ruling... I know votes are votes, but it seems like I got the short end of the stick when it came to choosing games. I got Combat School, but the game I wanted was Badlands, of course. =) I didn't expect the other 3, but the only reason I wanted to be in the tourney was to kick butt in Badlands (this was before German Krol kicked mine, and before I found 2020bb...which should still be my lead until PJS submits the correct recording (his recording is only about 38,000 really, and doesn't have all the good stuff mentioned in the description)), and I thought when the tiebreaker was made, I thought I had my chance, but then more 3 point games got added, and so were more 2 point games, and instead of people keeping their votes for my game, they voted for the others...and by the time it ended, my game barely got edged out despite leading for a while. Now, I know rules are rules, and being edged by a couple votes isn't gonna make a shot at getting into this tourney (if you increase to 15...which you should considering the number of people that might be in it...) any easier, and my complaining isn't gonna help, but I just feel like I got robbed. You don't have to add it just to make me happy (the same way I wanted you to take out Tempest), I can live as long as 2020bb is in the tourney, but I just feel like I have a cloud over my head about this whole Badlands thing. I don't agree or disagree about putting those two games that were scheduled to go in earlier in the tourney, rules are rules and you can't just bend them to make one person happy...however, I do think that since Money Idol Exchanger and Zzyzzyxx passed them AFTER the deadline, that Badlands and Pac-Man Speedup version should be in...while keeping miexchange and zzyzzyxx... You guys can do whatever you want about this, I won't be angry if I don't get what I want, because, as Mick Jagger says, "You Can't Always Get What You Want", I've learned to live with that. However, if you do have a change of heart, expand the tourney to 15 games, AND put Badlands in, I might be VERY happy. In fact, that might motivate me to do good in the tourney...I wasn't that motivated initially, even when I pulled off the 60,000+ pacesetter in 2020bb... Well, peace out...and I hope you make the right decision for the tourney...hopefully, you'll figure out what the right decision is...
