Congratulations to everyone who was a part of An Alliance of Potato (or the Potato Alliance) and its effort on N-Day

When I woke up this morning on North American time I felt like we didn't have any chance. But we turned it around. We worked hard. We communicated clearly. And our friends in the Potato Alliance helped us.

A second place finish is beyond excellent. Everyone worked hard and pitched in and we finished a mere 2641 points behind our opponents. The excitement of the last few hours fighting it out was an awesome experience and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

I want to briefly thank @platypus and Salaxalans of Spiritus for inviting us to be a part of the Potato Alliance. Thanks as well to the many others who played instrumental roles in co-ordinating this entire event.

Lastly, to give credit where credit is due, thank you to @thx1138, Haivon, Sarah of TRR and Grea Kriopia for helping me with posting orders on the RMB and higher level co-ordination at various points. I also want to give props to Free Las Pinas who helped me rep XKI cards by contributing farms for use as cannon fodder in the final 4 hours of the event

Congratulations to the Augustin Alliance on their victory. Until next year everyone!
