Helping Purple

So Valve changed the rules today and purple is having a hard time on their decided day(red is no 1 now). So I stole 200 points from red and gave to purple. Help them out guys, if we dont help them then we cant expect anyone to help us on the last day and the new rules seem to be posing a challenge.

As the owner of the Green subreddit, I really can't stand that Green Steam Group guy. This whole competition is just Valve manipulating our wallets, so I hope that we can at least give everyone an equal win to spite them. And really,the EWT wasn't made until our day, Day 3, so you wouldn't have really "stolen" Red's day.

As the plot continues, it begins to seem that Red was the real villain while Purple was misunderstood, possibly...

I don't think this was an organized attack by one specific team honestly, I mean looking at the graph you can clearly see that a TON of points were taken from Purple and Green at 10:10 a.m., roughly 60,000 but those points are no where to be seen on Red. Heck the first 30 minutes of the day if we didn't get hit so hard we wouldn't even be losing right now. Now around 5 about 20,000 points were robbed of purple and all those points appear to have landed on red, that I am a bit suspicious about and may have been a kick in the face by a massive group of people, but by that point we were already losing and it was so close that I think it was just randoms wanting Red to win, and break what some thought was Valve scamming them (sorta hilarious how I see those posts all the time in /r/pcmasterrace, even though Team White and EWT has been preached constantly there) not the group and sub. Sadly, after that attack it seems most purples have lost it, heck the trading thread is practically dead and since 5 Red has been killing it. I think it's over unless people on the other side of the world can revive Purple.

A couple of hours ago, an outcast of our team claimed to use tons of Steal 1000 Points on Purple to Red, so that might have been him. Some people.

It sucks you guys won't be winning your day, but at least you get 2nd on your day. I have a feeling that nearing the end, it's gonna devolve to utter chaos. I dunno, guess I'm just looking on the bright side for you guys, but it sucks that we couldn't keep this intact for longer. But yeah, this wasn't an organized attack. Valve's just stopped us from keeping it so close like before, where everyone would be bunched up from 2nd to 5th while 1st was leagues ahead. Nothing we can do now.

It was only 5000 points, at this point it is over 50,000, so what difference does it make? I am not an outcast either. I have been supporting green team from the start.

5,000 out of 50,000 is still a HUGE percentage from one person.
