Sheesh, this game. It seems like overkill to suggesting calling off the entire pitboss, but clearly at least one of LP / ASM needs to be replaced.
As for what really happened, accusing LP of doing firewall stuff to block ASM is really over-the-top. ASM honestly has come across as being moderately unhinged lately, and most of his woes in this game stem from bizarre play, like leaving cities undefended and thinking he can defeat LP by throwing a few archers at him.

Agreed, I would opt for that first. At the same time, I think some objective consensus on camping the turn needs to be reached if this game continues.

I feel like this game, and their relationship in particular, has been marred with too much bad blood from PB4.

PB6 got closed because of "game rules" interpation of another in game player.
This was about poster behaviour on the forum.

This seems wise to me. Let the players sort it out.

I understand why ASM would be pretty frustrated, but his accusation is pretty insane. LP may be doing a lot of technically legal but still frowned upon power-gaming here, but I really don't think he's outright maliciously cheating.

Regardless of whether LP has technically broken any rules, he is causing way too much trouble by playing against the spirit of the game. If I were Mist I would kick LP and ASM. But that's just me.

FWIW, I don't think it's necessary for LP to resign or be kicked for the game to continue. He hasn't technically done anything wrong, and I don't think you can really kick someone for playing within the rules in an admittedly cheesy fashion. Let the players police themselves and LP will soon find himself with 0 friends in-game as a result and will be taken care of appropriately.

This.
I don't like what LP is doing, but he hasn't broken any rules.
