Based on years of precedent involving extended downtime periods and the use of time dependent sovereignty mechanics, we accept your apology GM Lelouch.
I know it can be hard to strike a balance between doing what feels good, and doing what's fair based on years of precedent. The U.S. Supreme Court has to deal with such issues on a yearly basis, sometimes they decide to overturn centuries of precedent to do whats right, sometimes they decide to abide by it. But whatever they do, they do it with the knowledge that what they do has consequences.
Your removal of our TCUs, while setting a new precedent, destroyed many man-hours of labor and severely demoralized several of our Logistics Team (hereafter known as "Team Juffalo") to the point where they almost unsubbed.
Knowing that you take your work seriously and endeavour to strike a fair, professional balance makes us feel much better.
Thank you for your apology GM Lelouche.

Aha! A nice explanation and more than a page of TEST crying that their blatant cheating isn't being accepted as fair play. AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHAA.
Hi Gladys!
Thanks for your support,
I know when one group of players is held to a different standard than another group of players it can seem very much like cheating. However, when a senior GM is willing to step up and apologize for either a mistake in judgment, or the past "overlooking" of certain ways of manipulating game mechanics, and take steps to correct it by setting an example, a shining beacon on a hill if you will, of how such behavior will be acted on in the future...
Well, it warms my cold, North Korean heart, and those of my cold and starving comrades' hearts.
Thanks again for your support!

... AND NOT ALLOW GM'S TO PLAY EVE IF THATS WHAT IT TAKES!
I'm not sure you understand what the problem is here Zelot...
This was initially caused by a GM that did not have enough experience with the war mechanics in the game. If he'd ever been in a corporation that received a wardec, then joined an alliance, or been IN a corp or alliance that was in a war and had their opponent do the same, he would have known this was pretty standard.
Training can go a long way, but ...
I'm a relatively new player see, and it took me my entire Eve career to understand that while every other alliance in Eve could deploy TCUs and other sovereignty structures during extended downtimes like station upgrades and such to exploit a lack of opposition, that if we did it on a larger scale we'd be called on it resulting in a change of precedent in all of Eve.
If we'd had a GM that had been in the situation where they'd either been in an alliance where this occurred, or been in an alliance where the opposition did so we may have avoided the unfortunate retraction of our 14 TCUs in Delve after the extended downtime.
So, your assertion that making sure GMs play -less- is... well it's as out of sorts as your fuzzy pink lettering or whoever the hell the "XTC Cartel" is.
