I am not implying at all that 1538 and 1986 had any knowledge of this at all. When we worked with both of them they were stand up teams. I do doubt however that the mentor and student going around from 217 told 1538 that "if you pick us, we will decline, because we are broken and cannot be fixed." If they did tell them that and 1538 picked them anyway that was a great risk they took. If they weren't told that and every other alliance captain was, that is not GP in my book. Also for a mentor to directly say they only wanted to be with the number 1 alliance is just not ok.

I would be interested to hear what 217 has to say. Whether or not that was an entire teams strategic decision or just a few students and mentors that decided to do it.
