This is all a bit ridiculous, petty and lacking some context. Hopefully this stops all this, there's a tl;dr below!

• LadyV was the highest scorer in the war but only because she accidentally took a chain bonus, which seems to be the cause of all of this. She was abroad, logging in to pin a player or two, then logging off. She didn’t check faction chat or notice a chain bonus was about to happen. These things happen but ultimately she was in the wrong, she apologised but maybe the player who was due to make the hit probably kicked off a bit too much as well. I think that player should probably also be looked at, as it doesn’t really matter, it’s just a game and the faction got all the RP regardless. They can get their merit or whatever in a future chain. Conversely LadyV was on the leadership and arguably had more of a responsibility to NOT mess up some planning going on in the chat, especially as it only takes a few seconds to have a look.
• Doras is one of the best players and leaders I’ve seen in this game. Like others have said, he foregoes his own war payouts to give others more payout, despite consistently being the top hitter/scorer by far (he backed off this “easy” war to let lower levels make money and train). Check the war history for his super impressive war performances. He is totally anti-drama and just wants people to have fun and do well. I have no idea what was said between them or in leadership chat.
• Very sad it’s happened as LadyV is a good player and person. Not sure how things went south so quickly as I missed most of the event and not in leadership chat. I’m sure the whole thing could have been handled better and everyone will learn. Things go well in wars and sometimes they don’t. I had an issue and had a moan, but it’s just a game and have seen the leaders are happy to change and adapt to the players. This whole process is what makes the faction communities so fun. I'd love her to come back but not really up to me.

tl;dr: LadyV accidentally stole a bonus which got her the “top scorer”, argument with planned bonus player was bad, LadyV kept talking about it throughout the day which leadership didn’t like (rather than just moving on), she was kicked, she will get her fair payout, Doras is a great leader and has done awesome stuff for faction, faction is great and will get better. Mountain out of a molehill. Sad.

Little_Naz's quote from a previous forum thread:

"Oh look, it's LadyVoldemort again.

Waiting for this to be I 'think' the third (maybe fourth) thread she's started while acting as a victim over the past 6 or so months, only to successfully turn everyone against her by the end.

Not sure where it's up to yet, but I'm here to watch..."

God this is hard work.

So Elze didn’t get EXACTLY which one of the two of you asked/paid a big boy to hosp me, but somehow we’re in the wrong for not knowing, when ultimately the customer and the result are EXACTLY THE SAME either way? And you actually count that as a win?! 

Give me strength. This is so relentlessly boring.

All the best dude, good decision! 

I doubt there is a better trader in Torn. Very reliable, great prices, never mugged! 

So rather than apologising or acknowledging what you said, you are instead doubling down saying I deserve to be spoken to in misogynistic slurs, because I "cause it for myself". According to you, misogyny is acceptable in this circumstance. I wonder what other circumstances you think it's acceptable?

I think we're done here.

My first edit: Because LadyV is CONSTANTLY editing her posts trying to squirm around, here is the original:

I wouldn't expect an apology or acknowledgement from someone like yourself. What a fine example you are.

I'm done with this nonsense. I expect LadyV will pop up in my chat or discord again in a few weeks/months with something else she simply cannot stop herself sharing with me to feel validated. I'll say I don't care and she'll get irate. She'll start insulting me with strange slurs, which I'll share, and then I'll be accused of being obsessed. The cycle will repeat.

I have no issue with Lord_Voldemort. I'm sorry he's been caught up in this. He and DP should stop arguing over these people.

I would extend an olive branch, Muzza, but weirdly Lady has refused to even acknowledge, let alone apologise for, some pretty awful "insults" which are also arguably against Torn rules, but are ultimately very sexist. I don't really have time for people like that either in game or real life. DHensley seems more than happy to mindlessly clap her along from the sidelines.

Let me remind you of the timeline, who contacted who first (I.e. who went “out of lane” and who is “obsessed”) and who is the “weirdo” who made strange, derogatory comments about women for no reason (see your chat screenshots above for clarification on this)

Yes. I am sure this 5 year old player from your faction (and with basically the same name) would have been hosping me today totally regardless of all this nonsense.

Quick - DENY, DEFLECT, DISCREDIT (edit, edit literally everything!)

Why don't you ask your cronies how much they've mugged off me total? I'm sure they're thrilled with the results. You haven't hosped me, your friends have. I never said you had!

@sid, Elze and Little_naz - agree. Grave this thing!
