I am the DMer. This guy had been spamming our entire alliance with the same canned message, and I responded with this fabrication, not realizing this person would actually fall for it. I figured the Soros bit would out it as a clear troll, but apparently this individual did not get it. I will clarify right now that nothing in that response happened, and I was very much messing with the op, rather tactlessly in hindsight.
