Time for a small update.

There's been a lot of crazy stuff going on in this thread and we're glad it's finally dying down. Both Shogdite and I want to reinforce that we're here for the long haul and will continue developing and growing the LIR franchise. No amount of FUD is going to cause us to falter and lose hope in our project when we know we are the ones driving it.

I'd like to offer thanks to the community in supporting me despite the FUD going on in the thread. This shows the mutual trust we've developed between the LIR team and the community. You guys trust us to deliver, and we trust you to continue supporting us. No amount of FUD is going to make this project go away. What matters is we've got an amazing team and an amazing community backing us, so thank you.

To Eric Hansen, if it would make you feel at ease I can add some sort of disclaimer to my signature that I am not you, but LIR is here to stay despite whatever claims you want to make about our team and myself.

Now for those who are just showing up here and don't want to read through the pages here's the most important thing, we have a tournament going on right now that is ending on August 22nd 00:00 GMT. There's a detailed post about the rules and prizes of the tournament in the Games and rounds section found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1578912.msg15852422#msg15852422 so please show your support as it will help to bring in new faces into the LIR community.

So far, we're only 2 days into the tournament and we've had over 198 unique people by IP participating in the tournament and rolling. It's been a tight race for first place as those who've managed to secure the #1 spot have been seen to disappear from the list in a blink of an eye. Anything can happen, and it's anyone's game.

A more detailed post about the tournament can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1511021.msg15852400#msg15852400

Good luck to all!
