Easy there champ. We established checkpoints and deadlines and as far as I know dmac fulfills his obligations. He may not play as many early games as the rest of us like to, but keep in mind that not everyone has the same amount of free time and flexibility. We ask people to commit to our checkpoints, and those who do, we are happy with.
dmac did not get special treatment as far as getting Vancouver. He ranked them high on his priority list, and the selections were made randomly. If you're suggesting that there was something funny going on, you're simply wrong.
