The only conclusion I can draw from this is that something very horrible happened during that game which caused #1 to leave and report 3 losses, and to have have one of the players involved withdraw from the ladder.

This saddens me very much. This ladder has gone gone through hell the last few years, but somehow a few of us diehards manage to keep things going, and others managed to get some of the oldtimers like Paradox to return. So what in earth happened to cause this type of crap to occur????
