The more you think about it, the more Kon's genius becomes clear. He posted a relatively crappy short text flow. He convinced dozens of people to hand him a free prop for it just because he asked, & he pissed off 3 or 4 people he don't give a shit about on an internet message board. After all's said and done, he's gonna walk away with an easy $400 for his "hard work." That is, unless somebody plays the system even better than he did.
I doubt everybody's gonna remove their prop tho... most of the people who propped haven't even posted in any of these open forum threads about the contest.
