Ok, since this is the first edition of FoM that I'm missing, I guess this is the right moment to say that I'm going to withdraw. For a while I've been in too many contests but didn't withdraw here because I felt an obligation to continue participating, as the founder of the contest. The recent changes kinda put a nail in the coffin for me because I'm not the biggest fan of them. I understand why Gilberto introduced them but at the end of the day, I don't really want to worry whether I can participate in an edition. So, the best way to deal with that is by leaving the contest. I want to thank you Gilberto for continuing the contest for such a long time after I stopped hosting it, you have done a great job and I wish you the best of luck in the future x Being completely honest with you, it's a shame that you leave after being here since the very beginning, I mean you are the reason why this contest exists in the first place  But I respect your decision, I wish you all the best and if you ever wany yo return to this contest we'll receive you with open arms  I'd have really liked to hear your opinion when I just published all these changes, I'd have prefered that rather than just being told you're not a fan of them. But I do understand where you're coming from and, as I said, I respect your decision of leaving. About these changes, I understand, it was a very difficult decision to make, cutting 15 participants just like that and changing the whole system after it's been there for several years already was very, very difficult. I explained my reasons in the other posts, but in short, IRL stuff takes priority over this and I'd rather focus my time on other stuff. At the same time I didn't want to just stop FoM and that's how, more or less, we got to this point. Now, speaking in general, as I see some people are still confirming after all spots are taken, I tried to make a system that tries to reduce the feeling of being '''left out'', I intend that there's a quick rotation and everyone gets chances to come back quickly after missing one edition instead of them just completely leaving the contest. It's still heartbreaking, but I'm trying my best to still include everyone in even if the limit has been drastically reduced. |

But I do understand where you're coming from and, as I said, I respect your decision of leaving. I get that but tbh, it's your contest and it has been for around 25 editions now, I didn't feel like my opinion mattered a lot anymore  and even if it did, I agree with the changes you made as they're necessary, I'm just saying that I'm not ecstatic about them either I've been wanting to leave for a while now, as I have been participating in too many contests and often get lost in having to vote in multiple at the same time, I just never had the guts to withdraw from "my" contest and these changes gave me an opportunity to (hopefully?) leave with grace  |

Deolinda Kinzimba - Runnin'
I know it's not very original, but I just want to get this song to be used once ...
