'Real Deal' is for you and the other affected kd to know. No one would know the real truth.
The coincidence wave by Sparta and BiO may just be coincidence. Not for you to QQ. BiO even plundered and robbed us during our prep against The U, if you wanna make any linkage there since ppl from your kd are such good assumers.
For a fact: I have no obligation to tell you the true nature of my CFs with other kd or update you if there is a change to the terms, same as how you have no obligation to tell me your actual explorable pool when I asked (perhaps Dev can introduce a 'spy on pool' infiltration op next age?)
Lastly, what Sparta does or not do is beyond my control as I do not play at Sparta. If I do play there it would be a true intentional farm out.
