It’s because there’s a big difference between symptom severity and how contagious something is.

Exactly.

Even more importantly, something that even a lot of GMs fail at is that failing a check doesn’t have to be a completely bad thing.

Newsflash - everyone creating content or selling a product/service wants money.

Except that when it comes down to it. People only take issue with it if it happens to fall out of line with what they’re happening to be thinking of at the time.

If you’re friends with a Jew who keeps kosher or a Mormon who avoids stimulants and intoxicants, then you don’t order them a double bacon artery blaster with cheese or a large coffee.

There’s a fine line to balance.

Due diligence is one thing. And should realistically be applied to ANY transaction by default. Not “just” because someone’s account was (near-)empty for an extended period of time.

If anything, it’s an unwritten rule of battle royale that two individuals might form a temporary alliance to take out a shared threat.

Quite the opposite.

It has been a core aspect of competitive play in general. But yes, if you look at the roots of battle royale of even hunger games - the ability to form (often temporary) alliances with other competitors has always been a major aspect.

Not just that, but forming temporary alliances in competitive play has been around for about as long as competitive play has been around.

Forming temporary alliances to defeat an opponent is a core aspect of competitive play and always has been. What kind of insanity is this?!
