Okay.In post 2006, Nero Cain wrote:Pine would only make sense as a bus if scum are powerful!, she yells. Which ignores the whole point that Pine would get a major assload of heat as soon as he joined the RK without getting invited. B/c why the fuck wouldTOWNdo that? Woman please.
I 'bussed' Pine D1.
Pine entered the crew N1.
How does that work on your timeline?
It doesn't.
What's to stop Pine from having been a part of the crew?
What's to stop scum other than Pine from having been a part of the crew?
With the benefit of hindsight, that is, knowing who the crew picked was, you can safely assume the picked crew T1 was all town, yes.
But that's only with the benefit of hindsight, knowing Pine forcefully joined the crew N1.
In other words: saying I knew Pine would join the crew N1 and thus bussed him D1 doesn't work as an explanation, because on D1 I would have no way of knowing that action would be needed.
Basically, you've got a chronology problem on hand.
It wasn't: The crew was picked-->No scum were on the screw, thus Pine joined-->This made Pine suspicious, so I bussed.
It was: I went after Pine-->the crew was picked-->no scum were on the crew, thus Pine joined-->I continued pushing Pine, following through from D1 with new information strengthening a read that already existed.
