Well, I wouldn't even be angry at all, if we would have had at least a prior vote before accepting his hosting candidacy

 

We are now at a stage where we all need to vote for every candidate whether or not they can actually be a candidate? No thanks..

Wait, what? "Only those we accept as candidates can be candidates" is more freedom than "if you want to host, you're a candidate"?  

 

People were always free to be a candidate without everyone needing to vote whether or not he/she could be, changing that because of one person is a little bit of an overreaction.

Candidacy works when people are actually voting, so you're mixing two very different concepts.

 

We're talking about a random chance game, deciding something important.

 

And you fully know what I meant. We don't need to scrutinise every candidate, because not a single soul said a single word against any other host in the past, but bestmen was a controversial figure that has done harm to the contest's integrity in the past.

Not gonna celebrate, because this retirement just causes more chaos than it does good...

 

But gosh is that not the outcome that I thought might happen due to his unreliability.

Like this is actually the outcome  

 

I'm just gonna stay positive and assume he'll be back and host the contest

Well I can repeat everything I've said before, and you can, and in the end we'll still just disagree about it anyway so I'll save us both the energy

If we’re formally submitting interest...

 

Haven't several users already formally withdrawn from the contest?

He literally tried to deny a country its right to participate in TISC.

 

I know you love bestmen and all, but there has to be a point where this affection becomes unhealthy

Oh I definitely find that a more than shitty move like everyone else, don't get me wrong on that. Mostly I had hoped for there to be a little more time for everyone (mostly himself) to calm down, sort stuff out and get on with it. I know I might have been hoping for too much there, but it dies last, I heard..
