Fc you did this when you were colonel to manipulate the relative rank, but, if you are trying to get to conqueror, it is quite common to try this, still very challenging to do.
Well actually I did this as I rose from Brig to general Blitz, but hey why let facts get in the way of your opinion, you generally don't.
I have never hidden the fact that the key is to utilise lower ranks to help lift one on the scoreboard, Changsha pointed out it was a standard practice of mine to 'reverse farm' in that I would take on high ranking teams with low ranking team mates to max the return. I have often mentioned there is a symbiotic relationship that ends once the low ranker achieves a certain level.
What I find particularly galling of you is the (usual) manner in which you preached from your own skewed pulpit at me that this kind of practice would 'raise eyebrows' then a few months later indulge in the same practice yourself! Then, to add to the issue, you never bother to be open about this until some one (yours truly) brings it to the attention of the wider membership. Furthermore, you even try to rationalise your betrayal of your own (ahem) principles by your usual method of pedantry.
I can only assume you will revisit the lecture you delivered regarding this practice and eat your words...but this I doubt.
