I hope they do let y'all finish your FFA sets or play again legit on any server and I know it's probably not my place because I am no part of a good old boys club and run to the tune of my own intuition only, but I do think dusting off a couple legit FFA strings 3 days before the set ends is a lil extreme.

I think the message is well received and most if not all of them will stop doing it. I think you could and should consider reinstating a couple legit countries in an appeal as a mod...especially if it seems the player seems willing to abide by the rules now.
