It doesn't change my opinion because you started playing differently after I had already outted the tell.
It's not inheritly scummy to sheep but imo the situation with you was. Sheep are usually:
1) people who consider themselves bad players/aren't confident in themselves
2) not active
I don't think you fit either of this criteria, so for me it was scummy for you.
You also made sure to repeatedly say that you are relying on Josh, which seemed to me like you were laying it out as a means to refer back to later upon mislynches so you can't take the blame.
