I did briefly. Your first reference I find really suspicious from Gheb. To you it looked nice that he DID that, but to me it didn't make sense with his "I'm not going to scumhunt, I'm just going to talk mechanics" approach. I mean, he was arguing with soup about something soup said, yet never followed up with it while saying "Yeah I'm not caring about reads". So to me, it's FAKED.
The not knowing how to play the game thing is null to me. We don't really know what information they may or may not have at that point in time. Salt is null to me too. I'm sure he'd be salty regardless of alignment. Him not reading the OP well isn't a townslip, it can be possible for scum to mess up information as well. Even I have, in Scott Pilgrim. (lol)
On the fresh input I don't really get a tell from it. Shrug.
