And you were clearly pushing dragonspawn to claim what you thought would be mason. I don't even know how you can say otherwise. I know you addressed most if not all of this but nothing you said made it go away.
I also explained how what I was doing wasn't scum-oriented buddying. I know there's this site-meta bias where buddying is
always
scummy, but I legit straight up told people that I was trying to make allies so that D1 wouldn't be the shitstorm that other 21-player D1s typically are. Furthermore, my attempt to make those allies failed. Both Cheetory and Bookitty have me null and potentially scummy. We can discuss this more if you want, but I don't think it forwards the game-state that much.
I don't see how my interaction with dragonspawn was an attempt to get a mason claim. It was clear that they were crumbing something similar from the get-go and I could have, as scum, easily just taken that information back to my team and let it roll in-thread. Instead, I wanted to know for sure why Boonskies and Dragonspawn had such awkward interaction with each other. I still don't believe in their claim/crumb/whatever. I've decided that it's best to just let it ride because one of them, if they're not lying, will turn up dead eventually. If they are lying, it'll be obvious as hell in a few days.
...so I'm sorry for trying to get people playing with focus and I'm sorry for pushing my scum-reads?
If that makes me scum, fuck it, lynch me.
