I think you're exactly right, with this idea. I've been saying it for awhile. You'll notice none of them have commentated on this thread in awhile. Colesie def proved their fail tho, by holding the base, and showing screenshots of his repairs.

I don't know about this, you don't spend 8 hours trying to destroy your chum's base. If they're still chums, we'll hear about Colesie being some independent tribal raider or something. He'll hold the position of enforcer or collector or something but with more freedom to do what he wants than what he had, and a bigger slice of the pie. The bait idea isn't bad, but people are sending Alts and such to his base not anybody important. All those skeletons you saw were people sending minor alts to just mess with the tribe after Colesie gave them his homestead secret.
I doubt they could have flagged their positions by PMing those characters, but there might have been some deeper intrigue we don't know about.
Whichever, I doubt we've heard the end of this.
