That is so sweet of you @jacekw! It means a lot because the only time I run into everyone is on the battlefield, so it goes to show that we may battle it out, but in the aftermath, it is the kindness of this community that shines through. Thank you for the DEC!

I had a chance to purchase the gold selenia on the market at a lower price than what I lost, but had decided not to buy back then. I think the sob story plus the fair price, well, just a mistake on my end. Appreciate the kind thoughts.

Two recommendations for @byzantinist so far! He is definitely helpful to others in the chatroom and was very nice with DM'ing me to share his thoughts and support. If he doesn't win, I will be sure to give him a week delegation afterwards. ;)
