Indeed, or perhaps even the darker reality in which nobody has an IOU of any kind because they remained firm on their decision to leave Viera and Hrothgar they way they were. People forget that male Viera were not an inevitability - they were revealed as a rather big surprise after years rejecting the claim that they ever might exist and outright radio silence.

IMHO the choice they made was the best one given the circumstances. Yes, it meant one race was finished before the other (the easier race to create I'll remind everybody), but it also meant the IOU had something tangible to show for it. On one hand future femHroths got a ripped napkin, but they also got a promise with hard evidence that eventually team YoshiP will fulfill the promise they made because how could they not when male Viera are right in front of them?

This deep desire for other people to be as disadvantaged as them out of some bizarre sense of FOMO and embarrassment is nothing short of perplexing, hideous and petty, quite frankly. "You should have nothing because I have nothing" is just not how... anything works. It's preschool playground logic.
