Oops, sorry about that! I had just noticed this diseased commander, and figured I'd pull the typical suicide move to save a few gold on upkeep, and maybe gain some intel while I was at it.

But looking at it from your perspective, I can see how it might appear to be just another variant of the 'scout blocking' exploit.

Truly wasn't my intention though. I'll have to pay more attention to those kinds of details (and maybe try to use someone's PD to 'shed payroll').
