So Martian, let me see if I got this straight:
Hanlong only used his access to gather intel (Not about countries, but about clans intentions)
Not necessarily. We are talking about the EE database not boxcar. Boxcar is a seperate issue.

TC hasn't been confirmed as having done anything wrong, outside of giving hlw access. (And Pang has stated if countries were getting modified, it would be noticed). So then... how come you guys can't 'notice' who actually gave him 10m troops? Wouldn't you have the IPs of who was logged in to the db at that point?
This has already been addressed in another post. In any case TC shouldn't have had access in the first place.

Thirdly, given the fact that very few of the allegations held any water. Why was TC perma-banned, and hlw's countries deleted?
Because it's the opposite of what you are asserting. Accessing the game db when you aren't supposed to be is over the top. Period.

And if that IS your precedent, how is qzjul still an admin, after knowingly using knowledge he gained as an admin. And passing it on to Evo? Should not his finishes also be deleted, as his actions are just as at fault, if not more so, then what you guys are now saying was done by these two?
He didn't pass anything on to Evo that wasn't publicly known.
He didn't "gain" knowledge as an admin. He wrote the game formulas along with pang (although I have made some more recent contributions.. but those formulas were posted for everyone to see). This was well known from day one of EE and was never a secret to anyone. There is no proof that he accessed the DB to advantage himself or anyone else in this game.

And my last question. Why was TCs database cut off from getting updates? I understand Pangs desire to create a 'separate' boxcar. But why were the ties cut to the one that already exists? You're punishing the users a lot more then the former admin.
Because it was a massive security issue. If you want more details regarding that you'll have to ask pang.
