Professor, you are making it sound like as if your clan was the only one being affected. Thing is, it wasn't. Che was punished too, -15 points, they ended up falling out of the Top5. CfC lost 30 points, fell one place back. TaG lost 105 points, RS lost 130. Yet, you are the only one being angry about it, probably because you are the only one not accepting how the system of fair play works. You do something bad, you get busted, you get punished. Sure, you lost a first place. I understand it must hurt. But what you need to understand is that this wasn't about eS at all. We checked every player who participated, we didn't make exceptions. Heck, I even inspected FFie, DarkOne, Mablak, and several other of my friends, because if I hadn't, it would have been unfair towards
everyone else. And I trust FFie checked me. I know I did.
Your problem is that by punishing Kaleu, you lost just enough points to lose the 1st place. But what do you expect? Being part of a clan means whatever you do, it affects your clan. If you win medals, your clan's points rise. If you cheat and you get a penalty, your clan will suffer the consequences. Yet, you are angry at us, angry at the system, angry at anyone who doesn't agree with you, instead of being angry at Kaleu. Did you tell him he did wrong? Did he apologize to the clan for messing up your victory?
You say that just because one player did something wrong, your clan shouldn't be punished for it. Fine, but then everything positive Kaleu did during WO for your clan should also be taken away. In that case, eS would have 698 points, missing the first place by 26 points. You can't just say your clan doesn't have anything to do with its members' faults, but still get points for their victories.
Also, you mentioned us being unfair for punishing people for aliasing even though there are no rules about that. As it was said before, aliasing being a punishable fault is so much common sense, that none of thought it should be written down. Rest assured, it will be during the next WO. But you can't say you haven't been warned, as two players - sm0k and Tavo001, who later turned out to be Twy - recieved penalties for aliasing during WO. When that happened, you should have thought "Ah, apparently aliasing is bad, I should tell my teammates they should stay away from doing that!". Did you do that? If you did, then shame on you, Kaleu, for not listening to the clan leader. If you didn't, why didn't you? But anyways, "no alias" is common sense. I don't know how long have you been playing this game, maybe it isn't apparent for you. I've been playing worms online since 2005, and I never thought I should pose as someone else - whether as an existing player or someone new -, because I take pride in that I am Balee, from the clan UT. It's what I am, with all my positive and negative properties, my mediocre skills, and my undying love for justice. I, personally, have never understood why some people try to hide who they are. Why are they doing it? Are they shy? Do they want to hide that they haven't played in a while? Why? I just don't know. Aliasing is something I don't understand, and probably never will.
Kaleu, you told me in the shoutbox the other day that you did tell the moderator, while you were using an alias, who you were. I'm not saying that isn't true. But if you did tell them, why didn't they submit the results with your name? And why did you have to do it several times, with three nicks in total? And why didn't you email FFie to admit what you have done when you saw sm0k and Tavo001 getting punished for aliasing? Did it not occur to you that you may be doing something wrong? If it didn't, then sorry, but you have a lot to learn before you can call anyone names. You did something wrong while you knew exactly what you are doing. There's no escape from that. If we made a mistake, and you didn't alias, and you even provide evidence that you didn't, we'd of course reconsider. But the fact is you did. You did and you knew you were doing something bad. For that, you deserve your penalty just as much as everyone else who aliased or otherwise cheated.
I'd like to see the end of this entire charade. There was nothing unfair about this. And there was also nothing personal about this. Thing is, I don't even know you guys. I wasn't paying attention to which clan's player I'm checking, why would I? My clan wasn't in that race of yours. If it was, and you'd call me unfair, even though you'd still be wrong, at least you'd have a reason to do so. Now you don't have any reason, except the one that we busted an eS member and you lost the first place. Better luck next time.
Also, I'm just gonna leave this modified list of clans here. I calculated the average points players in each clan had. Of course, the penalties are averaged too. It basically shows the average skill AND involvement of the players in each clan. It speaks for itself, in my opinion.
