No, no, no, no, no. If Kal tells us who it is, we won't be able to speculate, cast a pall of suspicion over our political enemies, or generally sow distrust among ourselves. It's much better this way.
And let's speculate indeed!
I actually think Yankee makes a lot of sense in regards to his few souls clinging to electoral life and the fact that the Federalist Party couldn't coerce a paper bag at this point. Likewise, there's been enough chit-chat on this side since it broke for me to feel confident in saying that no officeholder in Labor was involved in this either.
I say only one thing, the matter dealt with politicians, by which I meant officeholders.
Since we were told it pertains to officeholders, I then took a gander at my GriffGraph template and attempted to update it to reflect the most recent elections in the NE and MW (please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the offices!). Because of this, I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that none of our CJOs, SC Justices nor cabinet members were involved (since they aren't politicians in the truest sense of the word; presumably no cabinet member would have the audacity to do something like this to another cabinet member and think they'd get away with it).
I can assure you, Adam, it was not evil Lumine
The GM told us bluntly that it was not Lumine, so we can rule him out and further narrow down the categories.
What is left? Based on this criteria alone, there are 20 names remaining (the offices not blacked out)!
These names were pulled using the criteria outlined above and nothing else. This means that nearly all of them ultimately had nothing to do with it. It was still interesting for me to attempt to do. With that being said and unless I have misjudged the nature of the other offices/officeholders in the game, I'm nearing 100% confidence in saying the perpetrator is on this list.
I think we both know full well that the perpetrator is not a member of TPP. I'm about 99% sure of who it was and who was targeted although I admittedly don't have any proof. It is kind of funny how the Labor high command knows who the person is, but is determined to have a non-Laborite make the allegation, although I suppose I can see the political rationale for that.
