You were ineligible because one of the requirements for hardship is that the group had been making some kind of attempt in the time leading up to the warning. GMG wasn't, at all. The fact that your entirely new group turned up later on, after the warning was issued, is irrelevant to that point.
So we take a new run, and bring it up to officialdome.
Will do, no prob. Only thing I am curious about is what difficulties we will encounter then.
As for morale : Sorry to say, but one of the hardest but also most common problems a faction leader encounters seems to be to keep his players motivated despite the - thoroughly fair and totaly balanced and righteous - decisions made by the staff.
I guess the decision was really made before Mark even posted the hardship post, as you discussed and set up the rules for the hardship program. It might have prevented some hurt feelings if you could have contacted Mark and simply explained it to him, privately. Instead of issuing decisions over the forum, that always feels like a slap in the face. Think about it, please.
