Re: <G14> Shenanigans?

G14 makes perfect sense to me.

Why blow out an opponent just to get their low point total as a score? Hypothetically, if my marginal team was on an awesome alliance and we won by a large margin, that means my alliance (and team points) are lower even though we are credited with the win.

It just makes more sense to keep the actual score close as part of the strategy of the alliance. If an alliance can score 100 points, they can surely give a little back to the opposition to improve their own standings and not hurt their alliance partners. It's about working together as a team.

Shenanigans? NO! It is just part of the strategy of the game and makes it more exciting for the spectators (and potential sponsors).
