ya but he's more prone to it than most. he can dig himself into a hole by standing his ground due to the way he perceives things playing out not exactly playing out what it's like in reality.
such as him attributing your push to bpd's one line or questioning if it's possible you two are working in a tandem effort against him.
overall i do see the divergence from his current play and defense compared to last game, but it might be related to other things.
what do you think of bpd?
Why do you think I’m going to great pains to make him clarify what exactly his defense and points are?
By default I’m slightly positive about BPD as I doubt he’d be aligned with Aurelian
What ‘other things’?
