Until and unless someone offers me an actionable plan as to making certain that none of the Arcana take their prize, I am afraid I have to continue as if one will. Which means, as awful as it is, we are the ones forced to make that choice-- whether or not we are the best equipped or the most deserving. If we do not, that prize will go to whichever Arcana is the most ruthless or the most cunning, and that will be bad for all of the universes.

Think poorly of me if you must, but it doesn't change the facts that these are the rules we are working under. I am not going to stand aside and let the more powerful and less moral beings make a decision that will affect a multitude of worlds if I could have done something to influence that decision in what direction I could.
