So sorry to hear how things went in D.C. Take heart in that everyone on the GameSalad team, as well as everyone in this community, knows you were best project there. I think everyone here can agree, we can't wait to see what you come out with next! Keep up the awesome work and don't let the cheaters of the world get you down.

Don't let it discourage you, Sci. You are an awesome game designer, and you are a well respected member of this community, obviously. Just when you thought you were done with High School, it comes back to bite you in the arse with a popularity contest. Don't think of it as a set back, if anything it's progression. You now know what not to involve your heart into, at least with one organization.
If that's how they operate, then they are not a respectable game developer community. That old saying is so true... "It's not what you know, it's who you know." And couldn't be more wrong.
The people that attended and were exposed to your creation know what was good and what was B.S. People there know you had a great product, and will remember you from now on, and may even look out for your new apps. You increased your fan base if nothing else. No popularity contest can change that.
That a shame SciTunes but coming out of Washington should we be surprised? Anyway you got your name out there and good will come out of it. You made us all proud here at GS, keep you chin up you do fantastic work!
It really does not sound fair. Sorry to hear about it and hope it doesn't dishearten you even though it would be justifiable. And I also hope that the future treats you far, far better.

This blogger was able to come to these conclusions on his own (if he only knew what I knew...)

Can you appeal?
