As an admin and a player, I'm very concerned that the TD seems to be playing favorites here. As a former member of Greater Lakes, I'm even more concerned that all the favorites are from Cascadia.

You're still in the running for fav Dev, maybe?

In other categories, there's stiff competition.

I do not understand how the solo threat wasn't detected and dealt with spring 06. The move to ionion and the unbalanced positioning of Tuscany vs Piedmont, the 2 vs 1 that existed in Turkey, most stabs don't come presented on a silver platter like that. Excellent job controlling Italy's play.

Is it against the rules of this tournament to deliberately throw games and try to help other players solo?

That's what you get when you don't have any reasonable entry requirement.

No, but, as Claesar said, the skill disparity between players is great. I am seeing a lot of throwing though, in many running ODC games as well.

The SoS scoring also improves a lot the odds of throwing, just saying.

It shouldn't. People are falling for dumb press
