Okay, I've been sitting on this tinfoil for a while, but here we go.
I believe that Chat-Salad is, at best, only sometimes the real Salad. I believe a Beezer is running that account. Specifically, Missy Moo.
Why? Well, in no particular order:
- Timezones. Gunt used to have to "stream quietly" because Salad was asleep. He did go out at night, but he was never as degenerate with his sleep cycle as Gunt. It's like 5am in Kuwait right now and he's actively modding her chat. IF he has a job -- IF -- this makes it even more unlikely it's him (unless he works all night and also has time to mod)
- Missy Moo's fall from grace was weird and unconvincing. It's documented elsewhere, so I won't go into it. But she "fell out" with Gunt just in time for all this to start, and now she's free to mod Gunt's chat (for free, I'm sure)
- The couples account in particular speaks in this bizarre faux-ESL that doesn't ring true. I won't linguistics-sperg too much, but there is a pattern in the types of mistakes people make when learning a new language. "Salad's" mistakes are random, inconsistent, and simply don't sound like someone learning to speak English. They sound like someone imitating someone learning to speak English. Granted, he is especially retarded, but this still doesn't add up.
- No one's allowed to ask (or even really talk about) Islam in the chat anymore. This is true even though Salad obviously isn't that religious, and yet some of the questions were things someone who grew up in a Muslim country would easily be able to answer. Missy Moo (or whoever) needs more time to Google the answers and copy-paste them into the chat -- which she HAS been caught doing before.
- Speaking of being caught doing dumb shit, the recent quotation marks incident shows that Gunt is feeding SOMEONE lines to paste into chat. We're assuming it's Salad because, again, he's especially retarded, but Missy Moo is no rocket surgeon herself.
- Just the dumb shit in general that this account says. It just sounds like a die-hard Beezer who has been around a while and is used to making excuses for Gunt. Similar to the strange lack of knowledge about Islam, whoever's running this account has some bizarre things to say about Kuwaiti laws, immigration, etc.
This would also square with Uncle Alaa telling us that Salad was dumping Gunt, but I don't know how much I trust Uncle Alaa anyway. Still, it would explain why he was dumping her and yet also modding for her.
I could be wrong, but seriously, the evidence is stacking up for me.
Edit: ALSO! She seems to "totally not get high guizzzzzzzzzze" when the couples account is modding and acting particularly sus. I don't think this is 100% correlated, but I believe when the impostor is modding, she's more likely to get stoned than when it's the actual Salad. The larp is all.
