That is entirely fair, of course!
I'm trying to play as much of the XO role as I can. The unfortunate side issue is that a lot of the people who get to decide on my application are in the United States timezones or even beyond that, while I'm in Europe. That makes playing XO nigh impossible except for sheer luck due to:
1. The fact I don't always have night hours and have a pretty unbalanced workload right now.
2. Highpop has like at least 10 XO candidates, giving me a 10% chance or so.
With that in mind, I'd love to play XO while you're around at some point, but I hope it won't impact my odds if chance doesn't allow it.
