6) Just have Duke stomp the 204 people without being on a team. Doesn't affect the score, just removes the exploiters. 7) Cap PP's score at 4,000 and call off Duke. 20% off for the 20% that exploited.

We should have let the competition run it's natural course and not reward the crybabies. There was no rules broken, those that out thought and out worked others should have been rewarded, not penalized.

Not trolling this time. Duke enabled after 3 teams eliminated for the sole purpose to defeat PP. The biggest people who lost out aren't PP, it's the 3 teams already eliminated. Albeit 'Merica were a lost cause, but it could have still turned out differently had the morale shifted. Who knows. PP were essentially told, "this is okay" considering they got away with it 3 rounds. Then the hammer comes down, which in my opinion is justified. The way it was done is not justified. It basically says, "hey sorry, didn't notice the problem but screw you other teams". There were 5 routes this could have taken that make sense to me. 1). Restart the entire competition and fix the mistake, sending PP members to weaker teams that equal the playing field for all involved. 2). Completely alter hitting and how it works, making hosp -1 or -2, and attack being 4. There's reason to do this as it's a BETA(might as well be) to the next year's competition and you can better understand the competition. 3). Kicking out PP's gender-swapping players giving them no rewards and a 1/2 energy refund. 4). Restart competition from day 1, enable Duke and have him being limited to only the 204 but isn't nearly as invincible. Having him have a 30 minute - 1 hour hosp time and a somewhat similar attack style. This gives PP incentive to play as they are so stacked, and also a challenge. I'd say they would still win. 5). Enabling Duke to literally curb-stomp them into oblivion giving no counterplay at all. This is the route you took, which is entertaining but undoubtedly unfair.

I dont see the other 3 moaning. Only PP.

Pretty obvious why Duke jumped in right before Z_junior's team was about to be beaten to a pulp by PP

I participated. Illuminati. My team got eliminated. We gave it a good fight, I think. I'm not bawling. It was my first time participating in an elimination. I really enjoyed meeting new people trying a little something new to break up the routine of my day. I'm also a Lady. No boo hoo-ing from this chick. I've read the forums and what was posted. Tried to stay impartial but, there was some cheating. That is obvious. I think the cheaters should be penalized in some way. While it is or does seem unfair that a whole team seems to suffer the consequence of a few bad apples, as a team, you have to expect how the actions of a few will affect the whole. I can't believe that ALL of the remaining 796 ladies on the team did NOT know. That is just naive, to say the least. I do think a % of them did know. They should also be made to share the blame in some way. To say that the 204's action only affected a handful is wrong. Had this been an honestly played elimination like I observed from last year, I don't think there would be this much energy wasted in the forums crying over the outcome. What I will say is simply this, this scandal, who exactly knew what and when the fact there was exploitation of a wrongdoing, I have lost respect for the team PP. I'm very glad I didn't join when I had the chance. I say the gender biased teams should be removed from next years elimination. Create teams to replace them but no more gender-based teams. Anyone caught cheating should be removed from the competition and any points made by said cheater should be erased as well. Just a thought or two... Not that anything I say matters. But, let's get real. It is a game. This is NOT real life. To quit the game over this is somewhat childish. You get nowhere in RL with tantrums like these.
