I think I was awarded 2nd prize for this game :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7s0h7MGN88As a further apology to you all and the site generally over the recent Amadan incident, I told the organisers to donate my 2nd prize of 100 bitcoins to the site. Hope you guys can forgive me for my heat of the moment comments a few weeks back. I appreciate this site a lot, and love streaming here.
