Opinions on this will change depending on who you ask, personally speaking I support co-operation with Indies in general. Of course, given my position this game, I'd say that regardless. What I can say is that I have nearly a decade-long meta of not fake claiming Indie as Scum, so you can be reasonably confident I am an Indie of some kind, and well, I am not Ekkologix. Ekko has very different beliefs around Indies to me, and I would certainly never sabotage my position or any leverage I may have by ostensibly playing like extra scum.
I'll get into this with you later. As a general outline - I'm willing to come to some form of agreement or compromise here, and I'll point out that if I intended to approach this in bad faith, I could have killed you at any point up until now and have been pretty safe regardless of what you flip.
By compromise, I mean you assist me with my wincon, namely by providing me with flavour information on some players and potentially your own at a later date. What I offer in return is, well, not killing you now, and the assurance that should you end up marked as my quarry in the future, I'm willing to table my hunt to pursue other targets. We can discuss this further, later.
I would also like you to suggest targets for my kill, namely to look over Mango and tell me why he needs to go.
