All petitioning and escalation aside, what's the solution here? An apology from CCP? Probably no point in restarting the war now. An if the GM responsible is involved with the alliance benefiting, while he might face disciplinary action none of us will ever here about it.
For that matter, this thread is going to get locked, as will any follow ups. So the forums at large will never hear the GM response.
Not to say this isn't disappointing and disheartening. It is. I just can't imagine an appropriate GM response other than "it will never happen again."

So all you need to do if you lose a war is to find an intellectually challenged GM for everything to be wiped out?
This is, actually, the best assessment of what happened.
Read between the lines of Morpheus' post - they found nothing that worried them about the GM conduct (i.e. making a move to help his corp/alliance). Remember, he's NOT making an assessment as to whether the GM made the right move, but rather whether the GM did something corrupt. Notwithstanding the outrage above, outright corruption is unlikely.
After all, why blame on malice what can be attributed to incompetence? Try this: the GM saw the announcements about sovereignty/downtime exploits and figured a wardec was the same. He might not be right, but that's besides the point. The facts here don't fit the above. The dec was live on the target corp days before the downtime. The alliance accepted them in, and maybe lost a little notice because of the downtime. That's bad luck, not an exploit.
Bottom line? The GM didn't do his due diligence. The call on the field was wrong.
But what's the fix? This isn't baseball or football. There's no way to redo it. The best that can be expected is fessing up to the error and making sure that all GMs know it was an error.
