anybody b!tching about refs/reffing has the first priority when the next ref is nominated (but you'll have to stand a short line, demise's got the first-est priority). thus, you:
a. miss out on an opportunity to participate as a contsestant (and that sux, what with the scarce number of English battles here);
b. have to read & rate bullsh!tty texts;
c. have to put up with all the b!tching of future-first-priorities about 1) whack topics; 2) deadlines; 3) irrelevant reffing.

But hey, look at the sunny side of things: since you KNOW HOW TO DO IT RIGHT, once a judge you'll conduct a perfect battle and make this world a much better place!
