People -did- see this sort of failuure coming, and they talked about it quite a lot on the eplaya boards, as soon as the lottery was announced. That’s the frustrating part.

No one saw this coming though. It's unfortunate that this is how this has turned out and I'm sure the board is scrambling. There's no undoing it now though.

I can also say without hesitation that they all have their hearts in the right place and their overarching goal is to make Burning Man an event that will continue long after they are gone. These organizers haven't at all gone to "another zone of existence". They're very real and down at BM HQ if you ever get a chance to volunteer.
