OK, so you have once more demonstrated that you have no interest in settling this. Please tell bishop to never blame us again for "refusing to move on".
Did you miss that half of the discussion? Abi explained it in clear detail in this very thread.
But then, you never replied to her (I won't go so far to say it was deliberate) so it is rather convenient for you to say that you missed it.
For any objectively minded, it is clear that Abi's explanation by no means suggests that she made an attempt at a collusion or to go behind the negotiations. Your noob approached her FIRST because he wanted the monarchy (his free will), he wanted to know how to go about doing it and Abi explained the mechanics behind it.
But then, there is a suspicion on why that particular noob bothered to disclose his convo with Abi to you guys if he wanted you guys gone. Something certainly worthy of discussion.
If this is your biggest argument on why the term was never reached, please try harder to come up with something else that is not entirely based on groundless assumptions.
