Mechanically it seems like a complete clusterfuck which usually either means scum involvement or someone is lying. HH's claim is bizarre and does not convince me otherwise.
Social wise the vibe I've gotten off of the hood interactions are extremely sus. The apparent perception that Tommy wanted to keep the hood under wraps + Flandrs calling Psy a moron and leaving very much felt like scum performative to me, if I was town in either of their shoes I would 100% understand and expect Psy to do what they did. Also the fallout in thread since then is sus to me, often when a scum ends up in a 1v1 early the rest of the scum tries to downplay it, and I feel like thread has been largely ignoring this or calling it tvt, if it were actually tvt it would be much more distracting to town because all the scum would come in and talk about it lol. I guess this is kind of WIFOM but for D2 I think this is the best lead we're gonna get and I feel like the odds of it being tvt are at most 50%, which is much better than random or PoE is going to get us.
