Prodigy isnt lying at all. I did ask in the lobby, not during game play, and was met with several "do not bother making a trial" responses. I think sidey said something along the lines of "we already gave our opinions on the forums", but that was the closest thing to a "yes, make the trial".
But anyways, this doesn't matter anymore as I've already said that there is no harm in making a stack trial and will be releasing it within a few days, unless shoop gets a majority opposing it of course.
