These players want to win. The CF alliance as it stood was not helping them win. So they had two options. Either leave, or change it.
Warren chose to leave. You guys all bitched at him. Therefore, leaving the CF alliance to win wasn't acceptable to the community.
So, Rhuean and the others chose to try to change things, in order to win. Apparently that isn't acceptable anyways.
So... what is? If they want to win, how should they go about it.
To use your analogy, let's say we are playing a game of flag football. Only, some people thought we were playing competitively, instead. Once they realized their mistake, why shouldn't they start a competitive game next door? What's so wrong with that?
As far as the "vote" we tried, every person who was nominated agreed that Rhuean was the best person for the job. Essentially, all candidates dropped out of the election, leaving one. What's the point of an election with one person running? And I didn't hear anyone complain about it at the time. Did you?
