On topic for what it's worth:

We discussed internally about spicing things up - with the main focus on League A. As HM said we prefer to work smarter than harder (although catching Shadow and canesRule through the last two weeks of the tourney was the definition of hard work for me).

What we did not do, and for that I take full responsibility, was make it clear that the directors were thinking about this only for League A/Large Alliances.   And of course we are full of smart and enterprising members, one of whom saw a nice opportunity elsewhere.

I agree picking on small folk is generally not the best way to conduct oneself but is that single event worth all the cheat beating seen from our usual detractors? Of course not, however I expect them to continue to whine just as I expect night to follow day.

FYI - Peace and H? had some nice PvP going on as well. I spent the last 
two nights of the tourney organizing short notice clearances of occupied
 stones and dodging incoming attacks while still racking up enough xp to get within one undead army of the lead (until the final hurrah messed everything up).  And you know what - *it was fun*.

You would have saved a lot of arguing had this statement been "issued" 11 pages back and would have increased it's current value.

I see you took one last chance to completely avoid eating crow and took a cheap parting shot, but it's a step in the right direction and I applaud that at least.

I think PvP is a necessary component toward having fun, thanks for making an effort to re-introduce it in such a way that players didn't lose cities.
