Perhaps Internal Affairs need to double check Sreeg's work and affiliations. |

Hydra don't get to tell Outbreak what they should do. Outbreak don't get to tell Hydra what they should do. The key point is, you're talking about two entirely separate entities, the key issue that so many people refuse to understand no matter how clear it is. In fact you could get all of hydra and outbreak onto a Tennis Court and put all of hydra on one side of the net and all of outbreak on the other side of the net and notice that it's two groups of different people and still not get the point at all.
If this point is completely lost on you, if you refuse to understand that Hydra and Outbreak are two alliances of no common purpose but just respect each other's power and value in an alliance tournament format, if it's just so convenient to completely ignore that Hydra or Outbreak would literally work with any alliance that they believed were worth working with and feel they could trust, then your opinions and thoughts on the whole subject are your own but have no basis in reality and are therefore pointless thoughts based on a fictional world that exists in your mind only.
It's fine if people want to be forum warriors because it's the only place they can really feel any power, but it's not fine if they work at CCP and are put in charge of making decisions that affect hundreds of people. People put in those positions should be able to distinguish between reality and the fictional world in their mind where the situation is moulded to fit the evidence they're never expecting to see go public.
Just remember, if you're in the tournament, next time, it could be you. |

After the pleas for advice, it's pretty disgusting you say that. No, seriously. |

The simple fact they had to ask CCP shows it was indeterminable if CCP knew they were separate entities or not. And sure enough, it turns out that CCP have left it to one single partisan individual with a vested interest for his friend to make that determination, both badly, swiftly and wrongly.
Many people took great efforts to try to appease the requirements of CCP Vague Rules and great efforts to try to get them, not just clarified, but written in clear English.
The incredulous circumstances of the banning are a testament to the effort that went into that procedure. Had things been different CCP's inevitable banning of Hydra and Outbreak would have had to have been declared under the "Ban anybody for no reason we have to state" rule, leading to an even more bizarre situation than the one we have today, you're all just lucky that CCP managed to make something look believable at this stage, and all it has cost is all the self respect of CCP Sunset, CCP Soundwave and CCP Sreegs Friend Of Goons.
It was a good deal for them, and even better if they still get what it is they're actually after, the disbanding of Hydra alliance. --- ATX: The best of the rest. |

This is clearly revenge for last year's finals, even though the metagaming antics of HYDRA made the entire tournament awesome to watch and think about.
Butthurt over AT9 just doesn't seem a good reason for this. What I mean is....
Who won the first alliance tournament? And how many people who have heard of Eve and it's tournament know that?
Who won the second alliance tournament? And how many people who have heard of Eve and it's tournament know that?
and so on.. Now... Who won the NINTH alliance tournament? And how many people who have heard of Eve and it's tournament know that?
You see, you cannot buy advertising that good. Word of that farce spread far and wide, putting Eve on maps where ever it went. It's just not the sort of situation one could imagine CCP acting in such a viscious manner over. Viscious spite like this is usually reserved for matter pertaining to either pregnant daughters or money, lots of money.
I suspect it's more about ending Hydra alliance to make sure Eve Is Easy gets permanently ended, most likely in favour of professional coaching services to be introduced by an alliance more under CCP's control and pay roll.
