Yeah! I agree with you, the sacrifice and all that. The "watch", the "kingmakers who serve the kings".
I wont really put anyone to blame, pure badluck you say (village) I've been in that position before.
Once I messaged someone who could really give me a nice upvote with my link, patiently waited, after two days with no sign, I gave him a call, with sound reassurance he said he'd do it right away.
Now it's six days and counting still nothing, but what more.
I can't blame him cause I've been with him, the calls, hardly eat, lack of sleep, no time for self and like you said maybe removed the word love from his definition...
The curators keep up the good work
