Below we talk to I Wanna Work For DAViE's runner up, and most controversial player, KronoZ.
Coming into the competition, was it anything like you were expecting?
Yes and no. I knew we would be tested on the key essentials to being moderators. But I didn't expect it to this degree. Based on the the game's description and the first challenge, I expected the game to be based on the situations that we would deal with and how we would handle it. Nothing like the challenges we were given. I was surprised.
How does it feel to come so far into the final 2, only to lose?
In all honesty, shocking to me. I gave this competition my everything, my absolute everything. I'm disappointed in the choice made, and slightly disappointed in myself.
Who did you feel before the show would be your biggest competition? And did it change once the game began?
I believed Ghostie was the biggest competition before the game, because she had the best resume and most contributions to the site. However, once the game began, I realized I was much more qualified over everyone else, and overall the best person for the position. No one else even compared.
How did it feel coming into the competition as someone new against veterans?
It didn't make a difference to me, and I thought it didn't make a difference to anyone else either, considering The Condition was only on the site before me by a week. So I figured I would have an equal shot just as anyone else. However, as you can see, that wasn't the case.
What do you mean?
In the eyes of the judges, I had an equal shot. However the other contestants seemed to believe I didn't because I was new. It's funny how I was constantly being told I was too new, but The condition wasn't. It's fairly obvious I was only targeted because I was the top contender, so they were on a desperate search to find something against me, so "too new" was the only thing they could come up with. After the too new argument was dismissed, the "he's a robot" came about.
What do you have to say about being called a robot?
Childish, and a pathetic attempt at making me look bad.
You seemed to have an on going conflict with Lane, what was the issue there?
I can't really give you an explaination on that situation. He and I seemed to be on the same side in the beginning of the competition, and when I first joined. He is the one who gave me most of the information against all of the other contestants, and helped me base most of my arguments against them. Suddenly once I drastically out performed him, is when he had a sudden problem with me. Especially once I was back in the competition over him, he did his best to troll me every episode.
Do you think it was fair for the veterans to be more accepting of Lane then you?
i doubt they viewed him as a veteran as they claimed. I'm positive if the roles were switched between The Condition and I. They would be attacking him constantly. In the end, it was based on performance. They knew I wasn't going anywhere, and they knew The Condition was disposable. I feel bad for The Condition being so ignorant to believe they really were on his side. I pity him.
What about the situation where you talked about Lane's family? Why didn't you apologize?
Completely over exaggerated. It was a desperate attempt to make me look bad, but in the end it did him more harm then good. He deleted his account, and now I have veterancy over him. Ha.
The Staff noticed something over the course of the competition, it seemed as though when the other contestants were still in the game, they wanted you to win over them if they were eliminated. But once they were eliminated they turned on you. any comments?
Jealousy blinded their judgment. During the game, they were able to see I was the clear person meant to win, however once they got out and began seeing I was going to win. They all banded against me.
Did you have any alliances at all? And did anyone else TRY to make an alliance with you?
No and no. I never had an alliance, I got as far as I did on my own. Jrox's message to me was him letting me know that he would be happy if I won other then him. Because at that point the final 5 was atrocious. One was emotionally unstable, the other too immature, and the last one didn't care for the site.
The biggest surprise of the season was you winning the campaign. How did it feel to win it?
I felt as though it were the final confirmation that I was going to win. I had the staff on my side, and the newer members supporting me as well. I felt there was no way I could lose to either of the other two.
Were you surprised to see JroX in the finale with you?
Baffled is a better way to describe it. I couldn't fathom how someone who was up for elimination for half the competition could end up in the final two. BigBlue did well the entire competition, I expected it to be between him and I in the end.
During the final judging what was going through your mind?
I was incredibly confident, when the review of our entire performance during the competition was posted, I realized Jrox did better then I thought he did, but I still felt as though I did much better and I was ready to be crowned the winner.
Are you happy with the winner?
No.
Why not?
If not me, no one should have won. It was clear I out performed everyone in all aspects of the competition, and if I couldn't satisfy you, then I doubt anyone else could.
Looking over the entire time in the competition, it seemed as though you were the villain, would you agree?
Absolutely not. The veterans tried to make it seem that way, but I was fair, unbias, and nice for the most part. How in any way was I a villain? Because I was someone new who out performed everyone? Because I was praised by the judges constantly? If anything, I was the hero and underdog of the competition. Everyone was against me, I wasn't against them. There's a difference.
Something that disturbed alot of people was during the finale you said you would not try to become a moderator again. Why would you say that when some of the people competing in the competition were awaiting for this opportunity for months?
I said that because I'm no fool. If I, someone who did the best in the competition, gave it my absolute all, and pushed through every boundary given to me can not win now. What would make me be able to win the next time? It's obvious if you were rejected once, you will be rejected multiple times again and again. Clay is a perfect example, he's now been rejected three times. Why is he still trying? I would still very much love to be a moderator, or apart of the staff in some way. However, I would not be the person asking to be apart of it, I want to be approached with the position.
Any last words?
Thank you for the opportunity..
