The reason for this, more or less, is
because
I have doubts on my scumread.
Severe doubts--more than I've let on.
A LOT more than I've let on.
If 50% were dead null, 51% slight scum, then with Vedith as the hallmark at 50% (and all players not-Vedith thus being lower, e.g. Gamma in the like 45ish% range), Pink Ball's 52.5%.
Almost dead null, doubts.
The reason for the strong push is because strong pushes help me sort players better than any other method.
I, genuinely, feel every point I've raised about Pink Ball is valid. I am not stretching. Looking at my points as objectively as I can, each and every one of them feels like they are objectively valid, that they are objectively good points to raise.
But just because a point is good, does not mean the point is
right
.
Yet my ability to tell if a good point is right or not is under-developed. I need to push the point, expose it to others to see, and get feedback, input on it. In other words, you can think of my push as a gigantic form of a reaction test--off of how others (and Pink Ball) respond to the issue, I'm hoping to get better grounding on whether I am genuinely onto something or if I made a good point that happened to be wrong.
The more I see, the more I think the latter, but while we're at the pivotal point, I haven't seen enough to push it over the edge yet; we're at the critical stage, the most important part, where the fight has basically climaxed. And from
that
, I am hoping to get an accurate read.
More than that, too.
I am also hoping to have a candidate to replace Pink Ball, ideally. If Pink Ball is, genuinely, not scum...
someone
else probably is. I don't know who it'd be. It's okay for me to not know, but I vastly prefer to know, obv.
I wouldn't push Pink Ball if I didn't hold suspicion on him, even lacking a replacement to push. But I'm still not sure. I'm at the doubting stage, but not a reversal yet. Because I can't tell if his emotional outburst is "right for the wrong reasons" or borderline insanity at just the level of wrongness. Not yet, anyway. It's getting there. I'll be able to tell within 48 hours, I feel, thread conditions allowing.
I do want this in my neighborhood ASAP, but I can't afford the chance of it leaking out since there's at least a 35% chance my neighborhood has a scum member who could report it to the scumteam, and at least an 80% chance the scumteam has a member on it that could use this knowledge to nullify my intentions without alerting me to this fact.
