Arlecchino and his alt were suspended. Fizzer is responsive if you use the proper channels. I've reported RA personally and hope others do the same.
Even if that fails, we can still discourage this behavior as a community by voting this map down to oblivion (and taking a stand against similar offenses in the future). Those of us who are in clans can also change their membership guidelines to remove players who do what RA just did- just like most decent clans remove forum trolls already.
In other words: this is Kant, not popcorn.

And that's probably the biggest issue Fridge has (though I won't speak on his behalf). If Ra had just handled it a little better, Fridge wouldn't have been so salty

The truth is - IF he ever asked, i would most likely have nothing against it. All I would expect would be giving me credit, and maybe a link to my unfinished map. I knew he was not "fair" in many ways, but I respected his mapmaking skills.
As for the people telling - "oh, remove his trophy" - don't be ridiculous guys, he HAS made beautiful maps, not one but a few and he deserves the trophy. Don't confuse two unrelated things please.
He did not apologise, nor ask. He diminished my credit despite practically copying my map that has been tweaked by me like 50 times after many hours of test games. He does not feel he's done anything wrong and that's what makes me feel bitter about it.
Stating that I am retired, and nobody could guess otherwise is like the silliest thing ever. Yes, I am retired. I used to play between 15 and 100 games a day, with 30-40 multiday games at each given point. Now I have no multiday games left and once a week or two i play some casual RT games.
All it takes is LOOKING AT MY PROFILE PAGE. He would immediately see that I am logging in at least once three days. The mail icon flashes when new mail comes so he would get a reply in 3-6 days. He could have created a game with me instead - that way I would have gotten an alert directly on my mobile phone. Furthermore - at some point he got my Skype address, so could try there (however i seldom use skype). He knows or could know there are people like Latnox, who I know well in real life so he could contact me via those.. He did not bother to contact me in any way and what he does now is low.

A serious young man found the conflicts of mid 20th Century America confusing. He went to many people seeking a way of resolving within himself the discords that troubled him, but he remained troubled.
One night in a coffee house, a self-ordained Zen Master said to him, “Go to the dilapidated mansion you will find at this address which I have written down for you. Do not speak to those who live there; you must remain silent until the moon rises tomorrow night. Go to the large room on the right of the main hallway, sit in the lotus position on top of the rubble in the northeast corner, face the corner, and meditate.”
He did as the Zen Master instructed. His meditation was frequently interrupted by worries. He worried whether or not the rest of the plumbing fixtures would fall from the second floor bathroom to join the pipes and other trash he was sitting on. He worried how he would know when the moon rose on the next night. He worried about what the people who walked through the room said about him.
His worrying and meditation were disturbed when, as if in a test of his faith, ordure fell from the second floor onto him. At that time two people walked into the room. The first asked the second who the man sitting there was. The second replied “Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is a shithead.”
Hearing this, the man was enlightened.
