I didn't win a star.
I tried and I lost. I tried again, and I lost.

Did the other players cheat? Did they learn the questions in advance? Did they have friends on the inside?

What should I do? Should I try to appeal to the fundies? Should I talk about my values more? Should I try to be more like the people who won?

Or does this mean the end of Nag Champa? Many of my supporters are losing faith in me.

I said I would fight for that last star but when the right answer came I quickly pointed out that the other person was right. Or did I? Maybe I am working behind the scenes...

4. Well I didn't get a paper receipt.
Maybe my answer was changed when it was posted.

10. Please be forgiving to an old German:
What does "Nag Champa" mean? Never heard this, thought it´s an old Aztec or something...

22. I don't know its origin.
I buy a lot of incense and it is my fav. Also, it makes a better handle than "Black Love" or "Dragons Blood".

Come to think of it, Black Love might work also...

9. Not even close.
I participated in the freeway blogging events, I have never used the bible to assault anyone (physically or verbally) and I have read more than 2 non-illustrated books this year.

And I was not trying to whine, if you were serious. I was just funnin'. (Sense of humor also can be used as proof I am not a freeper)

11. Oh, I know you were kidding. Hope you didn't take me seriously.
...I have been known to be a tad sarcastic.

19. The after-contest soul searching is over.
Perhaps I just needed to keep my head together and focus. Maybe I was being a bit reactionary.

I have learned that even if you lose a contest or two, it doesn't mean you should scrap the whole thing or abandon what you once stood for. Maybe I just needed to do a better job relating my platform to the public.

I will not sell out my soul to the intolerant. I will not abandon those who stood by me in the tough times. I will not move to Canada to escape the victors. I will stay and fight. Because my side is thoughtful and compassionate and good.
