I also struggle with your team's role in eliminations. You burgled cans (with 148's cheesecake, yes?) and then rolled into a corner - when you were in matches. You spent most (?) half (?) off the field while 1114 and 148 did everything.

There was nothing illegal about this. I just could not imagine picking a "partner" and telling them that it's better for the alliance to play short-handed than to put them on the field. Even with partners that more frequently cost alliances points than gain points, we find ways to involve them in the game.
I struggle with you level of disrespect. You can try all you want to insult our alliance partners and take away from their accomplishments, but it's not going to work.
