Scripten:I would have said that revealing the gambit seems to have come from a town-oriented mindset, but the oblique way he hinted at it before revealing what had happened is a bit suspicious to my mind, as though he wanted people to jump to the conclusion that something shady was going on and let that colour their perception of events. 'Protecting the identities' of myself and mastahcheese could be a buddying attempt, particularly since he'd already implied mastahcheese's involvement by addressing the comment about PMs specifically to him:
Mastahcheese I see the PMs are already starting.
He also claimed that his reveal of the gambit originally was accidental in a later PM, which is at odds with him mentioning the PM at all:
Deus, Cheese
OK, now that the hastily made house of cards has been knocked over by accident, what do you want to see happen?
The fact that he decided to reveal the entirety of Mask's gambit when in the post before he'd said that he wasn't doing anything to impede its working worries me as well. As does the fact that if the scumteam didn't know about Mask's reporter claim at the start of the gambit, they sure as hell do now. He even snipped Mask's claimed role in the original quote, only revealing it in a later post (possibly to make it harder to trace back to himself?)
flabort, what changed your mind about revealing the purpose of Mask's plan? Why speak about the PM at all if you didn't mean to knock down the house of cards?
And in answer to this:
Deus, Cheese
OK, now that the hastily made house of cards has been knocked over by accident, what do you want to see happen?
I want to see what Mask's role is, preferably by him getting a result on someone at the start of day 2. The way you decided to go about revealing this gambit just sets off alarm bells for me.
