:If we come in behind NT, we don't have to say it, and in fact :shouldn't, but most people seem to feel that the Mindcraft tests :are rigged at the outset, so there's no shame in losing in a rigged :race. The only question we'd have to answer is, "If you knew it was :rigged, why did you get involved? By getting involved you grant them :some of your respectability and get nothing in return." And that's a :tough question to answer if we feel it is rigged. : :The best solution might be to ask to be involved. Send the best we :can, and if it looks rigged, walk and explain why. Loudly. : I don't think that's a good idea. If you're going to play the game then play game. Don't commit yourself to playing the game and then walk away because you weren't aware of the rules. That, to me, looks worse than an outright loss, I think it makes us look unprofessional at best, whiners at worst. At this stage in the game, we can afford neither.
