What was expected? Did they think they would be praised for this or what?

I've explained this at length previously but we didn't know it was sim breaking. We had test sims in the .700-.750 range which is very very good but still in the upper range of believable (S49 had two teams above .700). We expected that we'd eventually be countered, other GMs tried to find a counter and discovered it couldn't be done, which we did not know. People can be mad, sure. I could do without people acting like we're criminals when we didn't break any rules or do anything with malicious intent though.

I don't know how I can make this any clearer that we didn't hack our way into the sim, extract some god mode cheat, and try to pull the wool over everyone's eyes with something we knew was invincible. We just found something that put us at or near the top in our tests, and built towards it. Would we do it again? Of course not, now that we know it destroys the whole damn thing. I don't think we're surprised so much as getting our backs up at the entire site basically spitting on us.
