When your galaxy started crashing the contest definitely wasn't over. Granted when you did it probably was but if anything your crash was the nail to the coffin.

Perhaps you should read your ingame mail and links that are posted in the topic. Hell if i am not mistaken you even helped setting up that fleet build guide. There were some members that didnt have their numbers in the bot, for various reasons. As HC we respected ppl's reallifes, unlike yourself who had hissyfits on every occasion when someone's reallife meant they couldn't bow to your wishes within 3 minutes. The ones that didn't put in their phonenumbers were monitored for their defensive effort and corrected when the HC deemed it necessary.

TGV did however play really bad internal politics, i dont think any of its 'new recruits' (except Pokes!) brought anything to extra to the team, they all were either defensively inactive or insanely selfish with their planet. The crackdown on the way the HC team wanted people to talk in the channel made coming on irc boring and that lead to inactivity in the channel for a lot of the round, tbh i have never seen an alliance channel so quiet, especially when competing for #1.

Ahh yeah, we attempted to quell the constant trolling as we spend more time fixing the fall-out of it than on actually planning and maintaining the alliance. A trend that started when we made our worst decision ever, to recruit you. Hell if it hadn't been for the fact you brought 8 ppl to TGV (of whom we considered 7 to be valuable additions to us) I very much doubt you would have lasted more than 2 days in TGV. You literally done little else than attempting to hijack us over and over again. I've never seen someone with so little respect for authority, and such a stinky attitude towards teamplay, beyond your own little team. By keeping you around we send out a message to everyone it was ok to violently disagree with anything the HC's did or said. And while TGV's HC's generally don't shy away from a discussion, when ppl respect the hierarchy of the alliance, this round most of the discussions grew into huge arguments/shouting matches within 2-3 lines of texts. It is this attitude in members that HC's came down hard on.
As for our new recruits, we have been fairly happy with the biggest part of them, sure some of them have proven to not be a good fit with us but that happens everywhere. It's mostly been older members that caused the trouble this round.
