You know what is hilarious in this whole thing is that people wanna talk soooo bad about UF and how hideous these re-actions to actions are but you can't stop posting here! You left the tournament, I'm assuming the community after the harsh words and allegations. Again something you quit from, left, supposedly aren't a part of anymore. Or, in chimpos case something you were never even involved in and now don't want anything to do with. For once, to those who love this drama and attention, if you really want to make a point, make your decision and live up to it. Leave, don't look back, stop trying to bash something you don't agree with. You said what you wanted to say, made your points, over and over and over. So why do you care what other people think? Why do you want to keep going with this? The ones still here HAVE something to keep posting about, they are still here, they are still playing, they are letting the admins run THEIR tournament. Please spare the references to "trying to let the community know" or making it sound like you are trying to be knights in shinning armor and are doing this honorable thing. It would be nice for once to see the honorable thing be done and people actually DO what they say they are going to do when they say they are leaving. Personally do I agree with the punishment ? No way. I think it's way too soft and something more should be done. But at the end of the day it's not my decision and the only choice I have is to play or not. Why can't people leave it at that and either leave or don't leave ?
Why you have an agenda is speculative at best, but in my opinion it's because some are pissed they spent 5-6 weeks trying to prove this, finally did (which is great because I do think AIEL got caught tryin to do something they knew wasn't proper) but now that the punishment isn't as severe as they were expecting they are pissed and left the tournament. Ok, I can even see people doing that and be ok with it. But this nonsense of sticking around and trying to rally the community to support your choice to spend over a month snooping and digging up "proof" is just ridiculous. You did the job, you did it well, proved the point ... but now that it didn't go your way 100% just move on guys, leave like you said and do whatever is next in line for your clans.
I STILL hope UF and admins/staff, whoever will look more into this situation and punish AIEL more than what they got. They broke a serious rule, tried to use a pretty weak defense to justify it, but the only thing that is really taken from them are the people that shouldn't be on the roster to begin with ... so what kind of "punishment" is that? It's not one, it's fixing what shouldn't have happened, NOT punishing a clan for their actions. If any of you have kids it's easier to understand. It's like letting your kid steal candy from a store, but his only "punishment" is making him return the candy. You're going to have a problem child if that's how you punish wrong doings.
