Exile all graveyards.

Yeah, statistics. With about 10 players with roughly equivalent skills, it can take a little under 2 weeks before a particular challenge "wins." It doesn't help that I post late in the day, so tiebreakers go to others. I'm glad you were excited for the challenge.

When doubt does stride with iron-laden foot
and chooses take my pride in my own self,
in ragged chains drag I to hell from wealth
and broken, wear’ly slog through ashen soot.
Doubt’s trumpet sounds, that full religious toot
which howls in pompous, mocking, vibrant health
as I run far away, in fear 'f myself,
and chase away the day I end kaput.
But even in the hand of vill’nous doubt,
I know I’ll rise above in victory.
And even when I’m hit with doubter’s clout,
I have no doubt I’ll see that sun-kissed sea.
For even when some faith in me I lack,
I know — in time — I can my doubt attack.
