Go to Post I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. - Andrew Blair [more]

The goal of the match was to obtain as many seeding points as we possibly could. The 111, 469, 888 alliance was an Einstein quality group of teams. We decided that the chances of beating them were very slim. We spent a lot of time discussing potential strategies, but the 6v0 definitely looked to be the one that maximized our seeding points.
Karthik,

I was lucky enough to be in que when this match went on. It was an absolutely brilliant move by 1114, 231 and 288 to play this strategy considering how close you and 111 were seeded at the time. The fact that the score was driven up into the 30 point range was just a bonus.

Also, in the end with the penalties assessed against the Alliance of 469, 111, and 888 wasn't there only a 2 point difference in the seeding points awarded between the alliances?

Anyway, thanks to all of the teams we played with on Curie over the weekend, we definitely had a blast and learned a lot!
