Coppro scammed the Follow-Through action, realising that its first clause didn’t prevent it being used at any time. Which is perhaps fair enough. However, he failed to pay any action points to use these Follow-Through actions. “Main Actions are actions that have a Cost in AP (which must be spent in order to perform the Main Action), which is 1 unless otherwise stated.” - this means that all of his Follow-Through actions were illegal, as he did not pay their costs. As a result, he did not claim a StickyBomb, did not earn a Frag for his own death, did not move from the position where he entered the Arena, and there’s still some Blood lying around.
(This does mean that Follow-Through is a useless action - pay 1AP to reduce the cost of your next action by 1AP! - but that’s exactly how it’s written. It is not a 0AP action.)
