I don't see any rule about having to post about a trade in topic. Yes, Inviso did alert me to it being crunch time in the topic a few hours ago. I check it every now and again, but I rarely if ever save anyone because I don't really care that much, especially since Yau's gone (and I'm burned out by Save contests thanks to Save My DC and DC vs Marvel; **** Bat-family and ****ty X-characters).
I noticed Penner was still on the block and Inviso was trading anyone for Eliza. I like Eliza. I like Penner a whole lot more, but I'd save Eliza over the other three left. A trade was offered with stipulation that I'd come in here, post that I accept the deal, and promptly save Eliza for Penner. No. Showing up to just accept a deal like that when Penner's still around out of nowhere when I've never saved her in the past, but I've definitely saved Penner before? THAT'S a rally and I've been done with that **** for a long time now. No. I spent the last thirty minutes before Inviso's Penner save F5ing every second with two tabs open: one for an Eliza save for when the next save went to Penner, and one for Penner if it went to anyone else because I know how rushdowns go at the end. Thirty minutes. For me that's a long time because I'm not so intense about these, but I'm sure that's nothing for you guys. Hell, you guys were clearly playing it the same, waiting for just one person to vote so you could avalanche as fast as possible.
It was an out-of-topic trade that was only accepted when Inviso decided to screw it and save Penner. If anyone else had made a save for Jonathan or anyone else, there wouldn't be so much controversy. But I was right here at the end waiting with the rest of you to make sure my guy was safe.
