Doesn't seem like Impact thinks it's possible. Like, hasn't even considered it.

Look, sure, maybe it's possible to save the world and save puppies. But this is a pretty big task ahead of us. Maybe it isn't. Maybe saving puppies now will take precious time and resources, time and resources that we'd need later. Is that a risk we can take? I don't think it is.
If you mean that finding out if it's possible to save the world and save puppies is a risk? Hell yeah we should take it!

Then you take a third option and sacrifice yourself. And hey, if some of the other guys want to follow and you can't possibly do it on your own (not that it's unlikely to do it on your own, I mean literally impossible), then more's the merry.

Seriously, when has he been a giant dick?
I don't know where you're getting super-civilised from.

Maybe "giant dick" was a bit of an exaggeration. Try "plain unlikeable bordering on jerk".

And allright, allright, you've been under-appreciated. Impact will generously praise everyone when the battle's done. He might even hand out a few hugs. Won't that be nice?
Yeah, that fixes everything!

No, seriously, I'm not going to believe that Impact can be nicer until it happens. Sorry dude.

Renny's made mistakes?

See above.

It's like there wouldn't be three (five?) people competing.

Not much incentive for the rest of us to compete if we all just get the same price.

Oh, I'm not quite brave enough to take a stab at this one.

CHARLOTTE FOR TEAM LEADER.

A VOTE FOR RENNY IS A VOTE FOR COMMUNISM.
