The winner will of course feel incredibly let down, but not by you Mike, by Dave. Since Dave was the one that agreed to the prizes, Dave is to blame here, not you Mike.

I think by stepping up and taking the responsibility of Dave's actions into your own hands, gives you higher regard than ever before.

I think that you will give a lot of strength to the group (the users who compete consistently) if we can all come together and resolve this.

Dave has been the one to let everyone down, and still does not have the cajones to step up and be a man about it.

So I propose a poll. Popular vote can decide the outcome if you would like to avoid any problems.

Let the community decide.

Vive la republic!
