I finished on the final leaderboard of the 2007 Character Battle and in a position to get the 10th place prize, but I ended up getting disqualified because of something that happened in this match. At one point during the above match, I legitimately couldn't remember if I had voted yet, so I decided to just cast a vote to check. Unfortunately, I had forgotten I was logged in to an alt, and the vote went through. I remember freaking out at the time, not being sure if the vote had even counted, and I honestly wondered if I should've filed a ticket asking to have that vote removed since I didn't mean to do it. But I decided against it because it wasn't like the match was close, and what were the odds that I'd be in a position to lose prize money? I'd never finished on the final leaderboard before, after all! Well, as it turned out, thanks to the L-Block chaos making Cloud > Link the "better" pick in terms of points, I actually did finish in prize position! When I saw I didn't get awarded 10th place even though my bracket was a prize bracket, I knew what had happened, but I decided to try to appeal to Allen anyway. Naturally, I was refused because these prize rules are pretty rigid and he couldn't make an exception, even in the case of an accident. That might have been my last chance to win prize money in an actual contest, from the looks of it! Now I did win prize money in that Top Ten Games mini-contest in 2005 where I literally finished 5th by just listing the top 10 in the 2004 Games X-Stats (that was how I got my Nintendo DS!), but it just isn't the same. --- ...
