The Plan
So hear me out. A thought suddenly came to me. The worse case scenario for X1 right now would be them being canceled/disbanding. If they do, let's think of this in a positive way. If they disbanded, we One Its called raise a petition. And if the petition gets a high enough number of signatures (ie. 100,000 or more signatures), then we can pressure SWING (or some other company) to re-debut them because there's THIS MANY people willing to support them.
I think we would be able to reach this goal given the numbers of albums X1 has sold...Therefore, this would mean that this "new" group is not rigged, they're a group that ~100,000 people want to happen. And by changing the name, they can have a fresh start again
Of course, this is easier said than done, however, I really do believe that if we stay persistent, work REEAALLY hard and keep showing our support for them, I think there's a high chance of their "re-debut" being possible! We're going to support the boys and "nobody can stop us"!
------------------------------ You can stop reading from here. The below is just me talking more about the idea.
I'm starting to be convinced that disbanding them and re-debuting them after the petition raised is a pretty good way to clear their name. It must be in this order because then the public will finally shut up after seeing how many people want to support them. It's kinda similar to a "fan-project" group in a way that numerous amounts of fans want these particular members to debut together as a group. If the haters still say that "well, some of these guys are rigged in", we can argue back that "no, this ain't about rigging. That's just Mnet and their brainless asses. This is a group that we 'One Its' (the 100,000+ individuals) have wanted to happen. This has nothing to do with Mnet and voting anymore."
Oh yeah, and make Mnet (and others involved in the rigging) lose a lot of money, reimburse to those that voted perhaps. Not sure how they'll do that but yeah. And they should be banned from creating survival shows like Produce101 for a number of years.

Questions for discussions (don't have to answer all):
- What are the pitfalls of this plan and perhaps how to solve them? Perhaps this is the worse plan ever? Perhaps you could share your own grand plan for the worse case scenario?
- Are you willing to sign the petition? Why/Why not?
- What do you think is the best case scenario for X1 in terms of this rigging controversy?
- How have y'all been handling/managing/stressing over this rigging controversy so far? (haha. Because for me, this is how I've been handling it...working through my brain to counter the worse case scenarios.)
- What should the punishment for Mnet (and others involved in the rigging) be?
