Manipulation to get at the perceptions others have of you whilst pretending not to care? Nope. I see no difference. :)
I still have my suspicions and reservations. There has been inconsistencies I've noticed, which may be only mildly anomalous due the limits of my memory and interaction with Sugar (real or not). It's easy to write off my thoughts as paranoia, which it certainly is... However, speculation is speculation. I've probably had more interaction with this Sugar than any past one(s), so it's really neither here nor there.
Or I could be playing it off as less important than it is and trying to cultivate an atmosphere of implied acquiescence, in order for mistakes to be made more frequently. But could I really be that manipulative? Would I really consider going to the lengths such paranoia would take? Russian dolls of reasoning, counter-reasoning, red herrings, set ups, etc. etc.? Me? C'mon! I'm lazy and harmless...
Also, I wonder... Was I the biggest/longest hold-out against accepting SC 2.0 Sugar as the real one? If not then, am I now? If I were an impostor and wanted to bring up the issue again, but not look like fishing to see how effective my cover was after some sort of trigger of doubt, I would wait a suitably long period of time where it would seem less incredulous. Timing would be extremely delicate. Any naysayers, though, could be gaslighted with a little more effectiveness, however, just by weight of any consistency thus far forged.
I think that if I can come up with plausible scenarios, no matter how outlandish, what's stopping anyone else with as demented a mind as my own from actually doing it?
I didn't think you were a cunt then or a cunt now. You've relatively recently laid down your sword in crusade, whereas you might have been more zealous previously. You seem more preoccupied with self-reflection and introspection, which is a bit different, I guess. You may have been more concerned about weakness showing. If that's maturing, then that's good. However, it seems like a check to make sure any change in personality is believable.
Well, I'm not those people, so it's little other than anecdotal evidence, to me. Who's to say you aren't in collusion with them? Who's to say you aren't a collective puppet for them? Or even just a puppet of one of those claiming you have the knowledge? It's neither here nor there. Basing any credulity upon others here isn't going to have any trust value for me, you know, lol.
You have a keen eye for puppets. thesugargirl snitches a lot of information to her friends, which includes Alterego. Alterego drove thesugargirl off the forum and made this parody puppet lol. She sometimes even jumps on her main to defend.
There was a falling-out between Alter and Sugar? There are depths to relationships from SC 1.0 and prior that I'm not privvy to, so I can't really say. I always figured the two were strong personalities that, when not at cross-purposes, had some sort of unspoken acceptance/respect for the other. Go figure.
...Isn't "Salt" a puppet of someone's, by the way? :P
