As I have explained, this account is incorrect. There's no way I can
ever defend myself against constant (false) accusations that Rich
helps me more than everyone else, other than quitting. That's why I
want out.

In this case, Rich did nothing more than he has done for other people.
Rich's action (initial battle report, and re-run to show us and our
enemy the fixed result) was a great help, because it revealed that Tim
W had made a mistake and in fact PLATO deserved to lose the battle,
despite the crossbowmen bug. After the facts were available (and a
re-run for everyone was clearly stupid), our enemy made us an offer
(no pressure) and we accepted it. End of story. Everyone's happy
except the people who want to turn it into rumors of moderator bias.
