So obviously LaF is in quite the dilemma, there leadership fell apart and I would suspect the alliance as a whole is having a rough time. Cheating in a game like this is pretty sad and those who took part in it should be ashamed. But I don't think putting all of LaF up for target fire is the best solution. What if there was a cease fire against LaF as well as for them against others for the duration of this set (or next set if need be) to allow them to catch their breathe, work out their kinks in leadership and to allow further investigation against any others who may have been knowledgeably cheating. For those who gained without knowledge or thought something was fishy and didn't take the challenge of confronting it should not take the heat of this, we should all accept that this can not be undone and take it in stride... I think there was a lesson learned (probably ones that go way over my head).
From what I understand, players are leaving the game over all of this which isn't good for the community of a small player base as is. So I don't believe that putting most of Alliance EE against LaF or to drive them out of the game will help. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think there is anonymous poll that decides who the leader of the alliance is and punishing all, I think would be unfair.
As far as the cheating goes... to that extent I would hope that neither of those two would be welcomed back to this game. All others who may have been involved and uncaught (if there are any), rethink your actions and choose to play the game to have fun and not take advantage of the hard work people put into this game to keep it running.
So looking back maybe there's a little defending for LaF which wasn't my intention but they are my thoughts. Maybe this will spark some discussion, or different ideas or maybe it wont or maybe this is all just worthless but, I figured I'd add my two sense for what its worth to the community.
And may this be my introduction to all of you =D
