Attempting, as Cuddlebeam explicitly did, to issue Trust Tokens on

undertake that action, and sent the anyways.
Potential counterargument: it's clear from this thread's subject that
CuddleBeam hasn't given the rules more than the most cursory reading,
as (without a rule change) there can only be one Trust Token win ever
(rule 2452, the same one e cited!), so hoping that other people would
give em a win "too" would be very implausible if e had actually read
the rules.
This just strengthens my feeling that o's reasoning that Cuddlebeam must
have intended to deceive, failed to appropriately consider Hanlon's razor.
