Then he would simply killed you all. Yellow managed that only with the mass he salvaged from him.
Had you scouted the mass from the MLs on south island and challanged yellow for it, maybe then you would have profited for that snipe. But you didnt even resettle one of his 3 islands until the very end. Was it some kind of cursed land or something? Was he native american, so that you didnt want to disturb his burial grounds?
I thought it was suicide, I didnt even know where his com was.
