So I am half-way through my re-read and I feel like I've found some interesting trails from yesterDay that I would like to prod into. I've only got 300 or so more posts to read as of pg. 8, but I need a breather for a second and divulge some of my thoughts to remain clear and concise for the remainder.
Here are some facts yesterDay based on Kanty v. J which was the big powderkeg that got the game moving. During the debate, people were trying to decide who leaned more on Kanty being derpy and Kanty being scummy originally before he came in and explained himself which dismantled pretty much the entire wagon and moved us onto our next areas of focus.
People who found Kanty to lean more scummy intent: Sang, Soup, Ditzy
" " derpy intent: J, Rake, Gheb
When looking back, Sang was fence-sitting the arugment, but afterwards she was the main pusher on the Rake issue that was brought up earlier. Ditzy was the most gung-ho on the Kanty is scum issue when looking back seems a bit out of place and a tad forced in that regard. Rake seemed to be siding with me, but in a way that is atypical from Rake (which Kanty, himself, pointed out). Gheb took the political route and just sat on that for a while.
When looking at this pile of names I think the ones that stand out more for me is Ditzy on the scummy intent and then I would defintiely want to look at one of Rake/Gheb. I am not sure I believe both of those slots are scum, but something is definitely up with the Gheb slot the more I look at his posts. Rake's posts could actually just be him trying to be more open and then moving onto explosive dialogue because no one likes being pushed.
Segway into my next thought, when looking at the Rake v. Koopy thing that started with knowledge from what happens in this story later, I would actually say that Rake=/=Koopy in terms of a scum-team. I am moreso leaning on one of Koopy or Rake being scum at this point and I am feeling more confident on that. Both have points against them and both, but for me it is looking at who is faking things more rather and who is actually looking for scum. In this light, I give Koopy more points in his favor because he seemed to be trying to analysis the whole Kanty situation until that Sparky post that triggered what happened next in the thread.
To me, based on what Koopy had been doing earlier, this seems like a weird vote on Sparky. Especially since his more recent posts have been knocking on Gheb who was a Sparky pusher. I could also see how half the game was viewing this slot as scummy, but there is something about Koopy's intent that leads me to believe that he is not scum. If I am wrong on Rake, I would actually be looking at Koopy and in turn I feel Gheb makes a logical partner with him and Gheb is moving up my scum-list the more I re-read this game.
Rake/Koopy/Gheb hold weird things from me for the beginning of the game and I would say Ditzy lost a view points on a Kanty town-flip but not enough to make me more him from my town-lean pile. Just lower on that totem pole.
I need to continue reading because this is when Kary begins picking up conversation and she was in my pile of "can die" yesterDay and based on my gut on Joey being correct I will want to continue looking at this pile of Kary/Rake/Gheb because I feel I am onto something here.
