| |
| − | | |
| − | While the [[Toroidal/Season 16]] postseason was still ongoing, the Piano Tuners became embroiled in a hacking scandal. Leaked documents showed that the Ft. Worth Piano Tuners had formed a secret partnership with the {{CTeam|DECO}} with the purpose of creating shell companies to sell backdoored random number generators to Golly's [[E Division]] (Engineering division, responsible for all Golly simulations). This had enabled the Piano Tuners to manipulate the outcome of both [[Toroidal/Season 15]], in which the Piano Tuners emerged as champions, and Season 16.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the most unexpected consequences of tampering with the random number generators was that it led the {{CTeam|SAC}} to undergo a drastic personality change. Over the course of Season 16 the normally-obsequious {{CTeam|SAC}} became nasty, ruthlessly crushing their opponents and steamrolling their way to a playoffs spot. When news broke of the hacking scandal, and the Boot Lickers realized they had lost to cheaters, they set out on a bloody path for revenge against the Piano Tuners.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Season 16 was a rematch of the Taste of Texas Series, with the Tuners managing to cheat their way to the championship series, and the Boot Lickers reaching the championship game by crushing their opponents with a singular focus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unbeknownst to the Piano Tuners (who were completely unable unable to win matches without cheating), the [[Commissioners Office|Commissioner's Office]] had ordered [[E Division]] to deploy patched random number generators. The generators had been found in a dusty warehouse, and they made a tremendous racket, but they would allow [[E Division]] to simulate matches without relying on the Piano Tuners' backdoored random number generators.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The {{CTeam|FWPT}} were nearly eviscerated by the eventual champions, the {{CTeam|SAC}}.

| − | ===Consequences of Hacking Scandal===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The hacking scandal, which was the biggest scandal in Golly since the [[Season 3/Fixing Scandal|Season 3 Fixing Scandal]], had several important consequences for Golly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first was the formation of [[S Division]] (to handle security) and [[A Division]] (to handle audits) before the start of [[Toroidal/Season 17]]. In the seasons following the hacking scandal, [[S Division]] quickly grew to become a powerful, mysterious force in the Golly bureaucracy, changing the organization permanently.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The second important consequence of the scandal was to plant the idea for the [[Cancel Texas Memo]] in the Commissioner's mind. Four season after the hacking scandal, in [[Toroidal/Season 20]], the [[Cancel Texas Memo]] announced the cancellation of Texas in Golly, the incineration of the Baltimore Texas, and the complete humiliation of the Ft. Worth Piano Tuners by making them take on their bitter [[Texas Crown]] rival's team colors and hometown to become the {{CTeam|BPT}}.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is widely recognized that the Piano Tuners were intentionally spared from incineration in order to give them a protracted, tortured existence slowly evolving into their former rivals.
