Oh, is that the problem?  Then we don't have a problem.  I never at any point was trying to steal your idea.  I was trying to steal your property and your power structure, but at no time would I have claimed it wasn't your idea.  I freely admit it was your idea.  I was doing a purely predatory resource grab, comparable to your robbing the bank.

I'm against plagiarism too, and am somewhat shocked you'd accuse me of it.  If I was into that sort of petty dishonesty, I wouldn't remain loyal to my friends and respectful of my enemies, and I wouldn't give credit where credit was due.

But take advantage of a rule to make off with your property?  Dude, that's what the game's about, as you've so aptly proven in the past.
