Sorry, should have said something in the thread. Houstan doesn't deserve any votes for the vest and I don't want to reset the polling.

Man... how do we keep doing this?

Its like ( for the 30s-40s ) those final fantasy games, a player must be in danger of dying before we can activate his limit break.

we have to lose our 3-5 top players and be down 20 before we decide to YOLO and win it.
