Let me try to clear some of this up.freako wrote:I also may not know all facts, but I do know you changed other teams players and also swapped team members after the ladle.
Baylife followed the rules -- for the most part. Changes made after the Ladle are allowed to reflect actual events. While only Team Leaders may edit their teams, each player reserves the unwritten right to remove them-self from any team (but the correct Team Leader must place them on another). If we comb the edit history we might find some discrepancies. I'm not interested enough in looking for them because I don't think it matters.
Most of the rules we have for Challenge Board management are there to stop Super-Teams (multi-squad clans/teams) from gaining an advantage on the bracket by jockeying their players around after randomization. There is no rule about aliased teams. How can their be?
The players left on the Challenge Board who played for other teams, Olive for example, but this applies to vov-slash-potts; those players would be considered substitutes having not played for their original team.
But even though we are within the guidelines, this doesn't mean Baylife is clean. It is in very poor taste for players to leave themselves on the Challenge Board when they have every intention of playing for another, aliased team. It looks intentionally deceptive. Now, it's entirely possible that vov-slash-potts really did sub-in at the last minute. We'll never know for sure. But what we do know, is having aliased teams is ridiculous and serves no purpose other than to cause unnecessary drama. Remember that next time any of you consider doing the same. We know who you are. You're not fooling anyone.
