You win if we win

We came very close to besting our opponent, with nearly four times the votes in our category than the other semi-final. We are also pleased that you guys fought honorably and have been extending the olive branch to our competitors.

i think that their alleged "cheating" with the over the top campaign to get other games to vote for mabi probably backfired
their "cheating" probably provoked a more enthused reaction from the other game's community

whereas if they did nothing, they might have gotten over the line by just having a larger player base ( i assume mabi has a larger player base than the other one)

also i predict we will get the 2x exp drop anyway. well they always give it anyway so why would they do it just to spite us for not voting enough times
