Was this division & the hard feelings on purpose? If it was intentional, if Skidmark was dividing his allies from their former groups and cliques so they couldn’t gang up against him, I’d have to adjust my estimation of him.
I think this particular issue is on the boy making the choice, for giving Rick hope by trying to pick both his friends, and then picking Doug without hesitation when asked to pick one of them. I don’t think Skidmark made him pick one specifically to cause divisions.
That said, what Taylor is suggesting here is the classic Roman tactic of divide and conquer, and it sure worked for them!
Not that I’d like him any more, or even respect him, but I’d give him credit for intelligence.
That’s about how I feel about the Romans doing it too.
“You didn’t help me when I got pulled into the ring,” the boy with the powers told Rick, “Doug at least tried. He gets my prize.”
Hey, seems like a good reason to me.
