Regarding Brxanne’s blog post:

I want to say that I never prioritize anyone's nationality! If I ever save a Hispanic, it's because I have a much closer relationship with them than with the others. In your case @brxanne, we stopped talking because our relationship was simply through Tengaged, and you haven't shown any interest in talking to me either. I didn't care about the designs at all; I don't remember having a huge number of your designs. We just happened to play the same games, and it was nice to have you around (in the last stages of the site, because not at the beginning). That's happened to me here too. There was a game where I was warned about you, and I ended up voting for you. Karma punished me with that person's betrayal, but that's a thing of the past. My point is that I would choose someone I care about on this site over someone else, and not just because of nationality. I wouldn't always choose a Hispanic person over anyone else. There are many people I would put before them, since they did the same for me at one time, and I've formed a bond with them. On the other hand, I do notice that many of you believe that because we're both Hispanic, we'll always stick together. We've also had plenty of arguments and incidents that will permanently damage our relationship. It's also true that I've always thought your playing style is very "aggressive”. I don't usually play that way and always opt for loyalty, but that loyalty has rarely been reciprocated, and it hurts a lot to feel that way from you. I don't want to be just a number that you use and get rid of when I'm annoying or when you see me as a torear. If I build relationships, it's to maintain them. If I make promises, I always try to keep them, and often with some of you, that's not the case.
