there is nothing to say that Easy RIders can't play multiple challenges against Arrow, Breaking Bad and Anti Metallica, the only rules they have to stick to is max 3 ongoing challenges at a time and only one challenge every 7 days

Are the matches between Easy Riders and the three clans you listed always above board?

If the resignations are untimely and meant to benefit the Easy Riders, then it's cheating, without a doubt.

If there are no rules to prevent cheating, then the clan system is defective.

I suggest a petition to the administrators asking them to formulate rules to remedy the problem.

Please add my name.

Don't you think there should be rules for this?

I think it's abominable when these few people can thumb their nose at the community standards at RHP relating to team chess and get away with it. They're acting to undermine the integrity of the clan system and the owners of the site do nothing. Unbelievable.

And now, on top of this, we have other clan leaders, who want to get in on the free points, doing the exact same thing robbie is doing. As a result, the clan leaders with integrity are left behind. This cannot be what the site owners had in mind when they made the clan system. Fortunately, we all know exactly who should be made to pay for this.

Actually, there's not a difference. Manipulating, or gaming, the system, is cheating. The instigators could not have dreamed that admin would turn a blind eye to it, nor that they would even get away with it. But they have. It is a shortcut, a taking advantage, that other clans do not take and it should have been stopped immediately when it started. And as an example to others who would game the system, they should have been heavily punished. But by doing nothing, the admins appear to condone the destruction of a system they put in place as a benefit for their subscribers. This can't be good for business.
