Nobody is denying that Discord acc exists, but it was never confirmed it belonged to Phil. The hidden ID attached to the acc is what matters. The name and four digits can be changed. The mods in the private Discord to my knowledge never confirmed during that window of opportunity that the hidden ID matched the acc in the guild groups. That would have nearly validated everything. How the imposter DSP knew what real DSP's Discord acc was during that time, I have no idea. That's something I cannot deny. Btw, if I were to impersonate someone online I would definitely ensure the "ooo"s would be the same amount.
How are you proposing the 'imposter' changed his discord number to match Phil's?
It feels a little convenient to accidentally leave your iPhone just out of frame with the WWEC roster clearly in view. It's very theatrical. Phil knows how to rile people up and torment them. He is eager to tell others on pre-stream how so-and-so said this, and he's been laughing about it all night. Very immature, but that's what gets him off. Totally plausible he purposely showed the phone to rekindle the theory, so once it disproves itself he can weaponize it with greater power and flip the scales on the perceived years of slander, yadda yadda.
Whenever you wonder if Phil is pulling any elaborate op the answer is almost certainly no. Thats not his style. I'm not even sure he has the imagination for it. I've been following Phil for a long time and I've never once seen him behave like your stereotypical kiwi with hidden traps and multistage years long plots. An op for phil is hamming up being an idiot in the bully geography class in the hopes that people would think his first playthrough was a gag. Thats about as far as his mind extends for deception ploys. Feel free to chime in if you can think of an elaborate plot phil has pulled.
As with Fapcop, I'm disputing the assumption that someone would blow tens of thousands of dollars as an elaborate troll. It's the other way around. They are already into blowing money on a mobile game and added in DSP and his communities for an added bonus. It raises the question if the ruse has been tried on other people who lean on an audience for financial support. If it's as easy as a whale changing their name and imitating their mannerisms, then why not.
So you're saying both DSP and nawtDSP are working together in this elaborate years long scheme to convince people that DSP is playing champions? Why and how would this scenario even arise? Does Phil (since according to you he doesn't play enough to be let into the hardcore WWEC clans) have a bar in Renton he goes to filled with other WWE champions players? Did DSP contact nawtDSP before or after nawtDSP decided to troll detractors? Or was it the other way around and nawtDSP contacted DSP and somehow got infamously paranoid phil to trust him and go along with this gag that wouldn't earn him any money at all? The mechanics alone just raises so many questions.
If this was a troll why would NawtDSP sit quietly for years waiting for people to stumble on to the account? Was he bursting out in school girl giggles every day thinking to himself. 'Man it sure will be funny when some years down the line detractors stumble on to my account and think its DSP! Err...if they stumble on it...I sure hope they do...but I'm just going to not to do anything but sit here and keep hoping.
Why, when detractors did find an account did a switch flipped in his head and he went from inaction to moving mountains to make people think the account is Phil?
But he's not interested in doing something obvious and simple like trolls usually do. No he's going to go full Jason Bourne with a far subtler route which requires immense technical and psyops skills that would make a CIA agent blush. Rather than acting like trolls almost always do trying to get as much attention, he'll hide away and run from clan to clan, analyze and replicate subtle Phil speech mannerisms, hack his bank account to add suspicious charges, hack Discord and the Line app. While as you said he didn't start the account and spend hundreds of thousands just to mess with phil, he IS going to immensely sabotage his progress with this game just to mess with phil...or to work with phil, who in all other things has little concern other than what will make him money as quickly as possible but is somehow fully on board with this.
No half measures for terminally online detractors drooling at their keyboards.
