An Apology

Alright, where's my ukulele... I feel like I needed to make this post after Padam's now deleted blog surfaced. I am truly sorry for the choice that I have made for the KoTraitors finale. I, myself, am appalled that I even made that choice to begin with. Yes, I am a teacher irl. Yes, we are mandated reporters. Yes, we need to make whatever population we are presented with as safe as possible, no matter that age group. I seem to have forgotten this very important rule even though I am not standing in a classroom. The truth is, I was going to pull they-who-shall-not-be-named, and so I sent them a message explaining what's going to happen. How they managed to manipulate me out of that is astounding. And thus, I let them stay. My biggest mistake. Since then, my eliminated players repeatedly called for their ejection. I kept defending it and I even threatened to take away their spots in future seasons if they didn't stop and respect my decision. That's when it clicked. I was in the wrong. I DO NOT SUPPORT what they have done, it's sickening and disturbing, and the fact that I defended it makes me a terrible being. For those who thought I kept them in the game because they were a Traitor, you were wrong. I would have pulled them no matter what role they played. Since Padam's blog, I have pulled them from the game, unfriended them on Discord, and blocked them after explaining that they were pulled for real this time. The final 4 Players will go into Final Fire tonight and winner(s) will emerge. I am not asking you, the reader, for forgiveness. I just need to make this blog to calm myself down and reflect on what a terrible thing I just did. I've learned from this as an educator, ORG host, and most of all, a decent human being. If this doesn't change your opinion about me or KoTraitors, then cool. I hope I can win your trust again someday. If the KoTraitors Players read this and decide to not return again, then cool. I'll respect your opinion and your wish and return later if I need more returners. If Sin wants to delete this to comply with Australian code, then cool. I've learned what I experienced and got what I needed off of my chest. I am TRULY sorry for making that decision, from the bottom of my heart. I should have stood my ground and pulled them from the first place. Im even disgusted with myself that I even gave them some empathy and let them "finish what they started." That being said, the casting and start of KoTraitors 2 will be delayed for a little bit. At least long enough to let this whole situation pass. I'll be making a post when it opens, only then it's up to you to play with such a terrible host. Thank you Kovaze ❤️ EDIT: I forgot this bit of attention. After the season is over, I plan to scrub the Kovaze group of their name other than what cannot be edited or deleted. Meaning this season will have "19" players, everyone else eliminated will be moved up a placement.
