Baby Spice's Interactions With Other Slots Party Four (MoI/Zach):
A quick CTRL + F search of MoI's ISO reveals that he doesn't mention Baby Spice at all throughout - only passing mention is in
#481 where he sarcastically criticizes Arthur's reasoning for suspecting Baby and Mehdi of being a team. Baby mentions MoI a few times but not in any substantial manner, throwing a passing critique in
#534 but never really going anywhere with it. Most important thing about their interaction, I think, is Baby's reasoning for not having a read on MoI in
#557 referring to a personal grudge that they had in the past. I honestly have no clue if Baby would bring up a past grudge as an excuse to not have a read on MoI if they were a hypothetical scum duo, though. Zach's main mention of Baby is in
#713 where he expresses some suspicion. While he doesn't commit the vote, I don't really see that in and of itself as scummy given the circumstances. Overall, though, I think this slot does actually have a decent shot at being Baby's partner but I'm not confident at all.
Baby Spice's Interactions With Other Slots Part Five (Konowa):
Again, a CTRL + F search here reveals very, very little interaction between the two - only mention Konowa makes of Baby in his ISO in a passing question regarding her read on MoI's slot in
#648 which Baby never answers and which Konowa doesn't follow up on. Baby only mentions Konowa in passing once in the early game, in
#63 where she says she disagrees with Konowa's reasoning re: NS' posting. Looking at interactions alone, this is another decent shot at a Baby Spice partner.
Baby Spice's Interactions With Other Slots Part Six (DV):
My issues with his vote on the Baby wagon are already on the record (though his recent posting does a bit to resolve the problems I had). DV's first mention of Baby is in
#203 and later on in
#276 where he questions Baby about her read on Mehdi and why she isn't doing more to fight the wagon. Baby condescendingly responds in
#279 (e.g., "Context is a good thing you know DV") - taken together, I think it's a minor point against them being partners.
#555 is where he first expresses that he suspects Baby. The one thing I really need to take another look at is his vote on Baby in
#723 - I think around here the Zach, Nacho, and Baby wagons were all at equal size. Him pushing Baby to the forefront by voting her here would normally be a really weird time to bus. Normally, I think wagon analysis/VCA is a dog shit junk science but someone who actually finds it useful should look into this please. Also need to look at how DV usually treats his partners as scum. I think my main issue with his slot is the lack of consistent pressure on Baby Spice and the roflcopter NK but bleh.
