Xuxon
But he didn't make any of those picks.
This is what I was thinking. Those hypotheticals aren't particularly convincing here, I have to say.
n00b
If I were put into his position I would personally just accept my mistake and move on. If he decides to do that instead of petitioning for a change or something there's no reason to pursue this
Yes, this is a nice point to draw the line.

I don't think that's what I would do :)
King Morgoth
How the backlash is 10 times bigger than with DSRage's slip I'll never understand.....
Because that was a place where you couldn't make a judgement call without opening a can of worms. IMO there is no can of worms here in this instance.
Ngamer
who had fair warning, a week to change his pick,
The fact that he should have checked, and had warning, are definitely the best reasons against fixing this. Though, where was the warning? Because I don't think anyone reads the actual picks topic - I don't know if Kaxon and King Morgoth even really do that. Was it in this topic? That would be a grey area then.
If it was by email or IM of course, then that's case-closed. But that would clearly be going above and beyond the call of duty for our admins.
ShatteredElysium
DSRage did a similar thing to Alec and dropped 21 places from second place three-quarters of the way through the contest.
If I had made DSRage's mistake, I would expect nothing. I would know that cannot be fixed, it was my own fault, and the admins are essentially powerless to do anything. In this instance, I have to say, I would expect something.
and a teammate who, if he's really that concerned about their score, ought to have been watching his back
Well this cannot be expected, ever. This path simply cannot be gone down.
Kaxon
But there's no clear line between what's obvious and what isn't
Wherever that line is, it's clear with this lies relative to it, I think.
Anyway, not to gang up on our beloved leaders, just putting in my 2 cents ^_^ Kaxon and King Morgoth doing an overall stellar job as always, and due to their efforts the Oracle is my favorite part of these contests :)
