Geez, a lot of you seem to be interested in RD "disappearing" from the game entirely and have criticized the posts admitting that there was some shady fluff going on, and have not posted any real solutions to the problem. So, what I have seen posted by everyone here is that the ultimate solution that appears to be what most want is for the alliance RD to go away.
This seems to me to be an invitation for RD to go completely underground by founding a NEW alliance that has "perhaps" no connection to the old RD alliance.
What would be the consequence of such a thing? In my mind it would simply be the same group of players that played in RD wearing a new uniform. Nothing really new and improved, just appearing different.
Alternatively, those same players might disperse to separate alliances in which they would inevitably rise to leadership positions simply due to the fact of the immense amount of knowledge and experience that they have accrued over the years.
And in the final analysis, RD would have achieved their goals of being "in control" of the alliances in the game anyway.
I am virtually certain, that every RD player will still play this game and it won't make much of a difference what uniforms they will wear.
I'm very sorry for those RD players who are being tarred with the same brush as the players who violated the trust of the game developers and boxcar hosting. But I must point out that AT is a fickle place where you can be a goat one minute and a great guy the next.
I don't have any pat solutions for this sort of thing by any stretch, but a good start might be had by turning our attention to the concept of "it's not winning if you gotta cheat".
I'm certain that the vast majority of players in general will follow the games rules. I do, it's not that hard, and of course, I have no "wins" to my personal credit, but I've had a huge amount of fun playing in this community. Thus, in the long run the name RD Alliance may be historically linked to shenanigans going on, but making future forecasts upon the alliance because of that is kinda stupid.
I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!
