story in the comments (another thing, Redi made some pretty stupid descisions in his early years with the staff.)

Redi investigated the times when octo-sticks had supposedly stolen things from the stickmen, and some of the times octo-sticks stole from stickmen they killed some of them too, to avoid getting caught by them and them telling the police. Redi also went into the future to investigate what would happen if he let them be, he saw that they get even more powerful than the stickmen and easily conquer them. and it turns out in the present they've been planning that for a few years. so Redi decided to attack first.
