How would Isabella have gotten Ashe's contact list? Ms. X claims to have Ashe's entire contact list which is how she texts Ashe's boss.

That comment made me replay the Moira dinner scene. One thing I noticed is that Ashe lets slip that she works at Marita's - whom Ms X sends the photo to. Another small piece of evidence that Moira is the blackmailer? I also doubt she has Ashe's full contact list, meaning Ashe could have called her bluff. Moira is just going on details that she's able to glean from either that dinner conversation or from what she can pull out of Vanessa.

A risky bluff maybe?

I did say that Ms. X claims to have the list, not that she actually did. So... maybe?

I mean, if it is Moira (If), she'd have Marita, Vanessa, probably a few from the house that Vanessa would tell her about. There's a few names that she could send to, but not the entire lot, but it is a bit of bluff for Ms X.

I don't know but if Moira is the one, than i'am actually dissapointed - it would be too obvious, same with the whole it's Deliah thingy.

She is obviously an antagonist but come one, that's too easy.

I smell a red herring situation ...

Also it's not like Ms. X was exploiting Ashe at the end of day if you refused her commands.

 

[Palatyr]

and my bet is, the ms.x is siri. it all started when joining the gym, the has all contacts she needs from the entrance formulas and she has the place, to get to see things. my dollar`s on her^^

 

[Kontralta]

Well, since the hallucination theory has been disproved, I think the blackmailer is a new character. Moira, yes, is too predictable and boring.

 

[BenHatira]

And don't forget that after this update everyone pretty much knows that Ashe is a duplo.

So Moira doesn't make sense anymore.

There is nothing to gain by blackmailing her anymore (the whole blackmail plot is for her giving out sexual favors)...

How would it be too obvious? We've been constantly discussing who the blackmailer is in this thread for over a year now lol

And if it is Moira, it's likely important to the plot. With Vanessa and Ashe's relationship in tatters now, there's literally 0 reason for the whole campaign mascot plot unless Moira is Ms. X.

I don't think Ashe's boss goes to the gym. I mean... look at her.

Also, it doesn't really make sense because she wasn't at the party. And it appears that Ms. X knows Vanessa due to the whole "You could've fucked her if you pushed harder" or whatever she said.

We don't know (yet) what Ms. X has send after Ashe lost her phone, so we don't know if Ms. X is exploiting her.

 

[BenHatira]

It's over everyone at the party knows she is a duplo now.
Things like that spread like a wildfire!
What is there to exploit anymore ?

There won't be anymore Blackmail for her.
Nothing to gain for the blackmailer, because everyone she knows - likes or dislikes - was there to witness it...

Wasn't it just being filmed and not immediately streamed? As someone mentioned a few days ago, Vanessa might keep Ashe's secret from getting out of the party (if she wants to) by letting the person delete the vid and maybe find a way that the other girls won't spill the beans.

Nah that's not how it works, there were are huge amount of people there who are not bound to Vanessa and her "power".
There are many other characters that don't have the obligation to stay quiet about it.

I mean this is not how it would play out in RL.

I don't mean just by her "power" alone. I meant by paying hush money or offer some kind of (non-sexual) service.
The vast majority of people would accept this IRL, as long as she can talk to them before they leave the party.

 

[manscout]

Mostly it just doesn't seem her style.

All of the "tasks" she has given Ashe have been, ultimately, kinky ways of making Ashe squirm. If Isabella has a bit of a crush on Ashe, while also being kind of her bully, I'd say it matches her "mean girl" style. Would also fit with Ms. X going overboard on the tasks during the party (4 tasks in one night???) since now Isabella would be able to actually see and follow what was going on.

On the siren path Ashe can give her a valkyrie shot and her reaction seems pretty genuine. She drinks it without a thought, then realizes she recognizes the taste and says something along the lines of "is this.. no.. you wouldn't dare."

There is a slight pause before she actually takes the drink from Ashe, could be taken as her having to take a moment to prepare how to react to what is coming, she probably didn't think Ashe would have the gall to choose her as the one she'd offer the semen shot to. She is kinky enough that she probably wouldn't refuse to drink the shot anyway, plus couldn't give away the fact she knew it was a semen shot before actually drinking it, after drinking it accusing Ashe was a fun way of making her squirm.

Also, when Ashe gets kissed by Vanessa the other girls of the house (Rachel/Lexi/Bella all go out together).

She didn't need to be there to see it, she could have just scooped the information from Vanessa after the date (she seems really good at getting gossip out of her housemates). Ms. X only grills Ashe about how the date ended in the following morning.

How would Isabella have gotten Ashe's contact list? Ms. X claims to have Ashe's entire contact list which is how she texts Ashe's boss.

Phone malware still a valid explanation, or maybe she lied about having the full contacts and just used information she knew about Ashe or could have gotten from Rachel ("hey Rach what's that place your sister works for?", really not difficult to get a pizzaria's number).

Also, I don't think Isabella is really smart or sly enough for this. She's something of a bimbo, isn't she? Ms. X has been very articulate. Which is one of the reasons why it almost certainly couldn't be Delilah. Since Delilah went home completely hammered and could barely speak while Ms. X was still sending Ashe articulate texts.

Isabella is trashy but she isn't stupid, I thought the hot-tub scene showed she is really good at prodding people for information, I don't think anything Ms. X said would really be out of her vocabulary. Also I thought Delilah was completely ruled out over the fact Ashe was litterally grabbing her at the exact same moment she received instructions from Ms. X for her second task of the night.

It's not really surprising that Isabella can tell that Ashe is lying though during the game. They've known each other pretty much their whole lives.

That's my point. You CAN lie about several things without increasing Isabella's suspicion, but only about things she couldn't have found out through Rachel or through the blackmail plot. Which means she seems to have the same blindspots as the blackmailer.

Nah mate, just no.

This would still leak no matter what.
I mean Penny alone would be enough by talking about it on her Insta story (cause she is a hater ).

Also let's be real the whole being a duplo in hiding section of the game is not that interesting anymore, we have seen a pornSTAR that is a duplo and nobody gives a fuck about it.

Best thing to do is to get rid of that storyline part after the whole reveal and focus on Moira or other characters story arcs.

 

[Palatyr]

well, the powerplay from ms.x is gone for now. still i think siri could be it. she has all the opps to see her showering for example. she has contacts on the party like barkeep. and whats behind her in person, except that she`s buff, we dont know. i keep my monex on this for now^^

True, but if it's just one or two girls who leak, it's quite easy to say they're lying or misheard something as long as there isn't visual proof. Who has the biggest chance to be believed by the general public: The esteemed Vanessa or some influencer? The biggest problem however is indeed it's Penny who's filming, so they need to deal with that video footage first.

One or two people to claim something (even if they are lying) is enough to make waves if it's about a critical topic on social media.

In this case Duplo's, who are a hot topic in this fictional world.
Brother/Sister (not assuming) social media is crazy
