H4: sorry dude, but no matter how much you protest your innocence, the leadership of LaF is going to be looked at with strong suspicion for a long time to come.
At the end of the day, if the information is too good to be true, it probably is.

If Laf wants a fresh start and Laf leaders want to be exonerated, I think the first thing you guys need to do is to reveal exactly what hanlong told you before I'd even begin to believe you guys again. You should basically reveal (via screenshots) all head conversations related to activities from last set so we know exactly what hanlong knew, what he told you guys, etc. Transparency is the first step toward rebuilding trust.

It doesn't matter. They've always had their upper echelons deleted for cheating (and now a new low - hacking). They get "booted", then someone else gets caught cheating.

Rinse, repeat.

haxor reveals how weak LaF leadership was when he said he was curious as to the sources but didn't look any further. Probably was the same in the era when RD ran LaF. It's a disgusting culture of take as much as you can get away with, just don't get caught.

Entire logs like the SOL/Evo/MD IRC chat simply don't turn up on Google. This community will demand more heads will roll than just the two caught with their fingers in the honey pot.

It should start with you haxor. Set an example.

I think the most disappointing thing is the general tone of "Oh its just 2 members that have been caught! Its not our fault! LaF are innocent!"

For me it doesnt matter if its 2 new members that you recruited last week, if they are in your tag they reflect upon you. Let alone if its your longest reigning (?) Leader. The absolute centre of your alliance. The person most people in this game would associate with your alliance nowadays etc.

The key to forgiveness isnt to try brush it under the carpet and swiftly try to move on. You have to do better than this.

lol at comparing a suicider to a hacker and a cheater.

also, LT had TWO game accounts = cheating the game. If you're insinuating KJ suicided RD, then that's not breaking the rules.

And, even though KJ wasn't associated with EVO - I still offered reps.

So shut the fluff up forgotten. You have nothing of relevance to say.

Its ludicruis to argue that we had our head in the sand or were complicit through suspicious activity because frankly, it didn't seem suspicious at the time.

The stuff Hanlong would tell us would be the kind of things that could and in the past generally was obtained simply through having good sources. Anything/everything he ever gave us was the same sort of information I myself have obtained more times than I can count through legitimate means in the past.

As such there was no reason to suspect he was getting it from illegitimate means at the time. Any time I questioned him it was because it was because his stories/explanations were always somewhat lacking, and I don't like being in the dark about anything so I would always press. In fact Hanlong and I were in a argument just the other week over that exact issue (me feeling that he was intentionally keeping stuff from me that was relevant for LaF's plans).

Regardless I don't think anyone in LaF expects 0 political fallout from this, so it isn't as though we expect it all to get hung on Hanlong/TC and call it a day.

If I was a member of LaF right now, i would be so embarressed by my so called leadership, I would look for another clan. All the innocent LaFers are "guilty by association" and I feel sorry that they are tainted by their cheating leaders.

If it happened in MD, I would leave immiediately.

And it isn't as though things didn't get questioned, because they did plenty. I for example would regularly ask Hanlong questions like "how do you know?", "are you sure? Where did you hear it?" etc. But when someone wants to hide something like this they manage.

In Hanlongs case the typical response was "I have my sources, you have yours, we don't question each other's sources" or "just trust me, the source is reliable" etc.

I used to think RD was the devil in the old Earth. This makes RD look like lost kids just trying to find their way home. If LAF wants to do the right thing- everyone should delete their countries right now and start over as of this minute. Also any of the cheaters weather caught or not should be banned from LAF- that includes your new gullible and dumbest ones just promoted.

Our logs show that Turtle Crawler was accessing the database too, and likely "gifted" himself 10m troops during a KR on his country; while he used to have forum database access, he did not have game database access, and I believe the former was cut off some time ago.

It's already been answered, hanlong and tc have had their access nerfed, and the reason they haven't been stripped completely YET is to allow them a chance to explain themselves /chance for a rebuttal. We have yet to hear from either of them.

How can you say that when hanlong's spying of FS times, war wave times, ingame country stats, and your enemy's political planning gave a distinct advantage to your entire alliance? It absolutely puts into question LaF's war performance as a whole.



If they are not winning that way they MAY fight clean but then fight with a 2.4 to 1 ratio. Awesome stuff guys!
