Well here it is, the moment you all have been waiting for. Or at least bashing me about. Did you ever doubt I would do it?
The large outcry about the Ballistics in AML and the issues that have risen from the ashes of this regular season has brought to my attention one thing... I want to do what is right for the season and the players.
As the new sysop and the person that brought Ballisitcs into AML I take full responsibilty for my actions and the decisions I made. The last thing I want to do is make career crushing mistakes in my first season as Sysop. After alot of deliberation and discussions with several people I have made the decision to change the results of several games this season.
But before I tell you exactly how I will change the results I want to quickly remind everyone of what our goal was. Ballistics was joined into AML as a shadow squad that would prevent a long season of No Show wins and bye rounds for the Balder Division. Ballistics was encourged to play hard and keep it competitive. They were allowed to play one 1 starter in each game and they broke no rules this season by doing so. Also when I first told everyone that Ballistics would join us in AML I tried to make it a win-win situation by saying that Ballistics would not qualify for playoffs and that loosing to them wouldnt effect your standings....but not every team played ballistics so that became a difficult situation. I also added that teams who could beat Ballistics increased there chances of making playoffs while loosing to them would make no difference. This in the end turned out to NOT be the case thus the decision I am making.
All teams that Lost to Ballistics will now WIN that round (1-0 NS win).
-BUT-
to remain fair and sticking to my word that by beating ballistics gives you a better chance at playoffs I am also making this change:
All Teams that Beat Ballistics by X number of points will have the score changed to an X-0 Win.
example:
Team A lost to Ballistics 3-12. It will be changed to a 1-0 Win
Team B Beat Ballistics 12-8. It will be changed to a 4-0 Win.
This gives those teams that were powerful enough to beat ballistics nothing more than a slight advantage in differential.
All player stats will be removed for the games played against Ballistics.
I hope that everyone agrees with me on the decision I have made. I believe it to be fair and just. It straightens things out and helps with the unfortunate issues that arouse at the end of this season.
I wish everyone the best of luck in the post season and playoffs.

You can read the full thread here. So what does this mean for Victimise and the rest of the season? Well first of all the new Balder Divsision standings now look like this:
# Squad W L T K D Diff
--------------------------------------------
1 Llamasery 11 1 0 104 62 +42
2 Damn_Yankees 9 2 0 103 40 +63
3 StarFire Elite 9 2 0 110 52 +58
4 Secret 8 4 0 92 71 +21
5 Fly-NDeath 8 4 0 99 85 +14
6 Disavowed 7 3 0 83 52 +31
7 Anarchists 6 6 0 72 80 -8
8 Victimise 5 6 0 55 76 -21
9 7rominence 5 7 0 68 105 -37
10 Blasphemy 4 7 0 59 92 -33
11 ShitFuck 2 6 0 29 56 -27
12 TEAM HOCKEY ZONE 1 11 0 42 96 -54
13 Ballistics 0 10 0 0 36 -36
So if we win our make-up round game tomorrow against Blasphemy that gives us a final reg-season record of 6-6. That's only one game off the playoff spots and with three seeding rounds to come we have a good chance of getting into the top ten and making the playoffs for the first time since AML Season 8.
