You know, I thought that might happen.

So I assume this competition just stays open forever, and never awards anything?

I suppose so. It’s a story post, though, so “open” and “closed” don’t really have to mean anything.

But I got my free medal out of it so I’m not complaining.

(First person to get a Competition put up by a proposal that contains the exact wording of the competition wins.)

And this competition was broken in the first place since nobody could get awarded anyting anyway until Josh’s first comment.

I would’ve behaved ethically.
