We've considered this case, and the matter of the fact is that the duty point system is a bit flawed, namely when it comes to the amount of points the President receives upon surviving a round. The value of this amount depends heavily on the team size ratio between the attacking and protecting teams
at the end of the round. What this means is that the ratio value throughout the rest of the match isn't taken into consideraton when it comes to President survival points - only the value
after the end of a round. Unfortunately, this can lead to unintended results, such as Presidents receiving 0 points if there are no members of the attacking team after the round's end, or Presidents receiving 450 points if there are no members of the defending team (and there's at least one or two Terrorists).
With that in mind, the President survival points will be changed and revised as soon as possible to include a minimum value (so that Presidents can't end up with 0 points at the end of a round) and a maximum value (so that Presidents can no longer receive as high as 450 points). Also, the average ratio throughout a round might be calculated, rather than just after the round.
As for the reported players in question, we do not consider what they did abuse. They simply utilized a flawed system and a low player count to shift the ratio to one side right before a round's end, to gain the most amount of duty points. Also, it is allowed to be President for the second time in a row in less than 15 minutes if no else selects the President class, so there is no grounds for punishment there as well. However, to rectify the system's flaws (and because of the coming holidays
) we will give the 2nd place award to the 3rd placed player, as well as the 1st place award to the 2nd placed player on the list for this month.
