Thanks for the kind words, but we lost for a multitude of reasons, one of which was because our alliance violated rules that were clearly spelled out in the Game Manual. I've posted this already in another thread, but didn't want this comment to unchecked. No one should take anything away from the victory by the 4476/1285/2198 alliance, they deserved it entirely. I know we're not dwelling on penalties, rather brainstorming ways to improve our performance in future events.
I don't mean to single you out, Justin, but in general I dislike this trend on Chief of people diminishing the victories of others. Our team has been on both sides of this coin, and it's never fun. There absolutely needs to be discussion on the merits of various game rules and penalties, but we also need to be able to do it without marginalizing the efforts of the affected teams on both side of the result.
