Snatcher Week Day 7 The Prince

A fire crackling in the old fire place. A clock ticking away on the wall. The night dark and bleak as a story unfolded. Being told through one's mind whom was wrong oh so long ago now.

"Her and I...We have a score to settle. You've think I've forgotten what she's done to me?"

A memory's sound turned up clear as day. Still ringing in the echoes of his former mind as he recalled it well. Still remembering the footsteps of his own mortal legs walking through the cold and mostly deserted halls until he found HER. The one who destroyed any and all happiness and even life itself.

"All on that cursed day! Look it's complicated but she didn't have to treat me that way. I was her prince and she was-....She was my princess. Everything was going so well...Or so I thought."

Flowers were thrown in the garbage by cold hands. Ignoring the struggling and screaming of a man who had been betrayed, heartbroken. Never seeing the true monster underneath until everything enveloped in blackened ice.

"Never left the house. Lonely and cold like the winters of Subcon. Paranoid and anxious, turned her back on others. I never understood."

The man never did. Until it all came together for him over years and years of the echoed memories replaying. She never cared for the emotions of the man. Only the fake role she desired him to become.

"It wasn't long before she turned against her people. On that day when I returned to Subcon, she broke down. What was supposed to be a joyous day had turned into a nightmare! Villigers ran and hid as her anger spread throughout the forest. She had gone completely and utterly crazy!"

Guilt. Ice grazing over everyone causing a massacre upon both empires. He never stopped her. Living among the many dead that was the collateral of his blindness to the real situation. He will never forgive himself for that.

"They say you shouldn't poke the sleeping bear, but honestly Kiddo-...These noodly arms of mine feel like poking. We're gonna poke her! Wake her up! Steal her riches! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Four new faces, reliable faces, smiled menacingly. Eager to help. Eager to get him revenge. Avenge him. He would always take back what she took from him.

"And I know just the thing to do to set her off. So are you ready? Let's go pay Vanessa a little visit."

Is this meme basically dead at this point? Yes. Do I care? Well, given that, when it comes to art, I basically just do whatever the heck I want instead of just relying on whatever meme is trending at the time--not really, no :P

In all seriousness though, I feel like this meme (albeit with my own spin on it) fit for Charles/Snatcher, given the events of the latest SOtF chapter. And yeah dw...I'll post said chapter a little later.

If you 'like' my art, I respectfully ask that you reblog it as well.

A Hat In Time OC drawings part 4 the Angst the idea stems from snatcher doing anything he can to fuck with lurker bc of their issues with one another. Sai being made of paint means she's very sensitive to the cold, and gets hurt because of snatcher egging her on to mess around despite Lurkers protests this severely injures her and Snatcher hadn't intended for her to get hurt. Lurker refuses to let him see her. side note of this is snatcher is pathetically and madly in love with her, so its a lot help oUGH

Lurker belongs to @chocowhomps

Snatcher Week Day 5 Your Contract Has Expired

Subcon Forest was not a place for just anyone to enter and exit as they please. There was a reason these woods had such a feared reputation and was rumored to be haunted. Because it was. By the King Snatcher of Subcon(as he liked to refer to himself) and his ghastly assortment of minions and dwellers behind him as his undead army, anyone who went in NEVER came out which added to the entire frightfulness of it all!! The dark sky and dead trees twisted with dangerous vines as the sun dared not shine here. If that won't convince you to stay away then maybe the giant chunk of the forest that always so dangerously cold will? Or perhaps the section that's always burning bright with enchanted flames? Or maybe the ghostly king who claimed trespassers' souls as his own or the rumor of a powerful witch? Either way, whatever helps to keep trespassers out he was all for it. But there was two people in his forest he was anticipating. Two small children who were foolish enough to wonder into his forest and he took full advantage of the situation having a few of his pesky chores cleared out and still have some souls to add to his collection. Now all that had to be done now that the work was all done, was to collect his debt. And he knew JUST the way to do so. And all it would take would be one little itty bitty tiny sparkly hourglass-

This was bad.

She knew it was bad the moment she didn't see the ghost for a while. She had finished his last contract but now he was no where to be found, not even in his spooky treehouse. Then she had sensed it. The magic of one of her time pieces. Of course she had immediately followed it making Bow stay back at the ship as she ventured deep into the Subcon Forest to somewhere she's never been before until she came across it. Some kind of strange brick base, no doubt once some kind of giant structure but it looked so strange. Candles lit up the circle being her only source of light as she approached, random old furniture and other things also littered the base of the circle long forgotten by anyone who once lived there. From the tree branches above dangled cages that creaked and groaned under the slight wind promising a dangerous fate. But the strangest thing to her was the green algea infested pool of water that was just stuck in the middle of the circle. Very strange. But what got her attention the most was the shiny light. The light of a small tiny time piece that glowed in the dark sitting just on the other side of the circle. Just sitting there waiting for her to pick it up. It must've landed here when it fell from the sky. But something about this was-...Strange. Off even. She looked around and saw nothing and no one around here so what was this weird feeling. After a bit she decided to risk it, running a brisk pace right at the time piece and dove. Hands reaching out ready to grab onto it, before just at the last second it disappeared in a puff of purple smoke. With a thud she fumbled to the ground in a heap. What the pe-

"Wait up, Kid," a disembodied voice called out from no where raspy, deep, and full of malice," Remember how the old contractor had his head pop off?"

THAT VOICE!! She stumbled to sit up, hands flying to her giant top hat to push it off her head as she did so and blinked her big blue eyes open. And then gasped in fright as the water began to bubble and boil as if lit by a giant fire underneath the blackened dirt. It boiled faster and faster as bubbles popped and the water splashed about. Until something emerged. Two large hands slowly emerged from the pool to grab the edges and something pulled itself slowly out of the water. A large fanged grin and two yellow eyes smiled at her from it's dark black-purple body as it rose higher and higher until standing over her sixteen feet long was a ghost. And not just any ghost. SNATCHER!! He felt delight seeing the shock and fear plain as day on her face as water slowly dripped off his body- ...Hang on a minute. Where was the other one?? He was sure there was two of them! Oh well. There was plenty of time to nab the other one once he was done with this hat brat. No need to rush things.

"That wasn't a coincidence," he continued sinisterly smiling at her, "It popped off the moment he stopped being useful to me. And guess who else just became obsolete?" He had to commend her mind for figuring out quick what he meant when her eyes widened more. "That's right." A clawed hand pointed right at her. "You. Now that that possessed outhouse isn't bothering me anymore, and all those contracts of yours are tidied away, I don't need you around. Besides you didn't think I was gonna let you keep all these time pieces, did you? They fell in my forest, kid. They belong to ME."

And then he struck out at her. Claws outstretched to snatch her up, but she yelped and ducked just at the last moment feeling the breeze from his arm skim over her head, her hat snatched from her head. ...Hmm. Not what he wanted but he still add insult to injury by tainting her with this little thievery. So as she blinked up at him, he placed it on his own head before lifting his arms out channeling something from under the earth- She squealed in fright as the earth beneath them shook and rattled as if an earthquake was taking placed all around until with a clap of thunder they arrived. With the moaning of the wicked and lost, they came called by their master to his aid. Hundreds of moaning souls encasing and crawling over the sides of the weird brick base to the Snatcher, swirling around them and swallowing him whole in the rattling and moaning mess as she could only watch in horror. The light from the candles around them being snuffed out to bring black abyss except for two glowing yellow eyes and a fanged grin. Until black finally swallowed them both and at once the moans and rumbling stopped.

"Time you saw what I'm really capable of, Kid. Say good bye to that little head of yours!"

got the badges for gone fission evp 400 + evp 600 yesterday! .52 gal, l-3 nozzlenose, dread wringer, and squiffer make for quite the synergistic team!

my peak was EVP 810 (appx 300-310% HL). my high score of 151 eggs was obtained somewhere in evp 300...? i'm pretty satisfied with how it went, even if i didn't get HLM or 9s.

some thoughts/reflections on good freelancing teams/traits to develop when trying to rank up in evp under the cut:

i think grinding this rotation was pretty fun- all of the weapons have excellent mobility and i think they cover for each other really well! the l-3 was not my favorite weapon going into it but i think i really enjoyed the accuracy and mobility of it, so it's a bit more favorable for me now :)

i ended up reaching a skill wall in EVP 760-780 where i could not get past wave 2 or 3 (usually for quota related reasons, the quota is BRUTAL! we'd miss it by like 4-5 ish... ofc this partially relates to how well bosses are handled).

the grind for evp was a mix of freelance and grouping up (freelance for 230 -> 440s, grouping up for 440 - 750~, and then testing myself in freelance for that last bit).

i enjoyed the bits of freelance i did, and from my playtime i think these were some of the key traits/practices that indicate "good salmon run skills" to me:

players that know their weapons role(s) and target the appropriate salmonid (but also being willing to break that when priority targets haven't been taken care of)

knowing when a teammate needs help (with a boss or being revived) or when the teammate has a situation under control (e.g. someone's already on the fishstick, you can do something else)

proactive use of specials when problem targets appear, preferably with no overlap (e.g. tri-strike and inkjet activated on the same flyfishes is not the best)

using specials like booyah bomb, triple splashdown, and reefslider to clear basket area in the last 30 seconds to help eggs get in (especially important past evp 600)

teams that paint the walls first thing (especially whoever had the dread wringer). all interior walls for fission can be painted within the first 10 seconds imo

forwarding eggs closer to the basket after splatting static bosses (throwing one egg, and then swimming up with one)

players with good judgment; knowing when to lure (mostly for initial boss spawns), and knowing when to leave the big shot cannon

being able to figure out which directions snatchers come from and what eggs they can help you collect

i think these practices all stem from having good awareness and being able to collect information about the shift. it helps with making snappy quick-fire decisions, and it just gets more important the higher up in EVP you go. camera positioning/control is essential for this (you can't figure out where bosses/teammates are if your back is turned to them).

for me, every 7-10 seconds, i like to rotate my camera around to the opposite side of where i'm currently looking to make sure there isn't any bosses i'm missing. i'm hardly in one place longer than 5-10 seconds and i try to always be on the move. the spawn direction where salmonids come from are always changing, so it's essential to rotate around the map proactively rather than reactively. i think this also helps a lot with shotcalling in groups too (since you can be someone else's pair of eyes).

other than boss spawns/teammate locations (for revives), i think it's also important to notice when certain bosses haven't been taken care of for prolonged periods of time too, so that a special can be popped. to me it's usually a sign that someone whose ill equipped to deal with that boss has been forced to deal with them because the people with the "right" weapon are focused on something else... (no fault to them, of course, everyone has different priorities and you can't always communicate clearly in freelance)

in situations where squiffers were chased by a pack of scrappers, perhaps a booyah bomb or splashdown can be popped to help if you don't have the time to stun and splat them manually. maybe the fish sticks were left unattended by the shooters, so a triple inkstrike or a crab/inkjet shot can help clear them out.

awareness also extends to meeting quota, which imo involves paying attention to the timer + where eggs are located. i find that it's nice to check in with the timer/quota at 50s and 30s respectively so that you can start forwarding eggs closer to basket. and when everyone's going crazy about quota not being met i try to make sure i'm not overstepping anyone else's egg pile so that no one goes "wait no thats the egg that i wanted to pick up fuck i have to go back and get a different one."

i think this is why sometimes playing in groups is easier. if you have more sets of eyes that you can communicate with, it alleviates the need to have awareness of "everything" (provided that you can comms effectively). someone can be attuned to different things (e.g. my friend always tells us where snatchers come from and if they're good, i'm personally attuned to where people need to be revived, etc.). you also know what specials you have access to, unlike in freelance where you're not sure what others have until they use them.

the other part of completing shifts successfully (to me) is being mechanically sound with your movement, mostly in regards to how you use the terrain (walls) to get around the map and escape situations. the more you play a map the more you'll figure out how you can move around on it.

some examples, using the location callouts from salmonrun.ink: there were a few times i'd go on the harbor but i could escape any salmonids in the bridge area by climbing the walls there and squidrolling out as needed. sometimes on high tide i would swim from the perch to the left plat.

sub-strafing is also good to know too, especially when you want to rapidly collect the basket eggs at the end. i still need to integrate it into other parts of my gameplay, but it's helpful!

uh. this was way longer than intended because i have WAY too many thoughts about salmon run. TL;DR: The key to succeeding your shifts is having good awareness which comes from good information collecting practices, and having the mechanical skill to act on that awareness without hesitation.

there's definitely a lot that goes on in sensory overload the game™, so it will take time to build these muscles and reaction times. i think while at every rank of salmon run you may face a wall of "i'm overwhelmed by the bosses," the exact fix needed to get past it usually varies, so it's important to figure out what information you were missing or what actions you could've taken (more efficient movement or special usage, usually).

or if you're struggling with quota, try to practice forwarding eggs or take a look where snatchers come from (even if people splat them, it's still a good practice 2 develop for later evp. source: i don't fucking do it and it's biting me in the ass)

and most importantly, recognize when you're in the midst of a loss streak/skill wall, so that you can take a break and focus on other things that energize you! even if there's a certain goal you want to meet, grinding for higher levels of EVP and getting better at the game can be a very exhausting process. you can always come back to the grind later, whether if it's after a 30 minute break, or just a different rotation!

[darchildre]

I love the ambiguity of the final sequence - are "Gray's" movements the uncoordinated flailing of a dead body being jostled, or a deliberate attempt to hinder MacFarlane and take the reins of the speeding coach? (And then of course, Gray was only in MacFarlane's head at the last - who knows?)

It's really an excellent film, marred only by a timeline that doesn't seem to comport with reality and the presence of Fettes, who remains completely boring to the last. (Thank god he didn't have a romance plot!) Both Karloff and Daniell are fantastic, creating complex and fascinating characters. Edith Atwater is so interesting in her few scenes as Meg and plays wonderfully off both men. Lugosi, sadly, doesn't get a lot to do, but he did give us that one gorgeous sequence, so I'm glad he was here.

(Tangentially, as a person who enjoys a good murder ballad, I'd love to learn the song about Burke and Hare Gray sings during that sequence.)

#JakeReviewsItch Week In Review Archives

This week's reviews: 🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍 10s 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 12 Labors 🧡🤍🤍🤍🤍 1,000 Heads Among the Trees 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 1365 🧡🧡🤍🤍🤍 1977: Radio Aut 🧡🧡🧡🧡🤍 1993 Space Machine 🧡🧡🧡🤍🤍 2064: Read Only Memories

Game of the Week

Fresh ideas or solid execution? How do you choose?

Sorry, 1993: Space Machine. You are an excellent space shooter, but I've played a lot of good space shooters. I have not played a shooter that is also a Roguelike tennis game. Sure, the difficulty and controls could use some fine tuning, but the fact that such an unlikely combination of genres could work at all is cause for excitement, and 10s goes beyond mere functionality and competence. This is a thoughtful, inventive oddity that I expect to stick with me for some time. But you? You should play them both. They're great!

My most anticipated game of the week—of this entire project to date—was 2064: Read Only Memories, and while I gave it a decent score and was invested enough to complete it in a ridiculous seven-hour marathon session, I never got an answer to my biggest question: Why is this a game?

Eugene Ionesco said, "Theatre is not literature... It is simply what cannot be expressed by any other means." I think bout that every time I make anything. Can this be expressed by any other means? Could I tell this story as a book? A movie? A radio play? A bi-monthly curated box of snacks? The script of 2064 would not work as a book. Characters standing in one place and delivering uninterrupted, pages-long monologues wouldn't fly. Same with a movie. I can't even picture actors standing still, delivering all these lines at this pace. They wouldn't stand for it. Literally, it would go against every actor's training to simply stand and deliver. They would find some business to occupy their hands. They would react to one another. Cinematographers would walk off the set. Is that why 2064 is a game? Because we, as game players, have been conditioned to understand the discrete text box? Give us a character portrait and just a few sentences at a time, and we're good? I like text boxes. I want games to reach outside of our expectations. I don't hold any conventions sacred. I want that which simply can't be expressed by any other means. It's not that 2064's plot, characters, and tone couldn't be a movie or a book; it's that they would need to be adapted to suit their medium. This morning, I skimmed videos of a few of the games I think might have inspired 2064. Perhaps the most obvious comparison is Snatcher, a cyber-punk visual novel with light adventure elements and occasional shooting galleries.

Hideo Kojima's Snatcher is a blatant Blade Runner knock off, with a few scoops of Terminator and an anime veneer. (If you think that particular mélange sounds unique, I'll direct your attention to Bubblegum Crisis, which premiered a year before the first release of Snatcher and could be described exactly the same way, only with killer '80s tunes.) It's an unoriginal story, and in broad terms, the only thing that sets it apart is that it's a video game—a video game that, I would argue, is at odds with its medium in the same ways as 2064. Like most of Kojima's work, it desperately envies Hollywood. It's not at all my cup of tea, but I can't help but admire the audacity of trying to recreate movies on hardware as primitive as the PC-8801 or Sega CD. It's an impossible, misguided task, but look at the way Snatcher really goes for it. The motion might be stilted, but the drawings are dynamic and vibrant, and the cuts are frequent.

I lived through the '90s. I lived through the early days of polygons, and the sudden dismissal of anything that was still drawn in two dimensions. I am delighted that we came out on the other side, ready to embrace both the old an the new. I'm glad chunky pixels and restricted palettes can now be an artistic choice, but it's worth keeping in mind that old games didn't look that way to cut costs and up the kitsch value. The old games weren't looking backwards. Most of today's game developers grew up playing video games. They liked games, they took on the "gamer" identity (barf), and now they are game developers who make games, and that's their whole thing. And I just want to tell them... You don't have to make games, you know? Shigeru Miyamoto grew up reading comics, watching Popeye, and exploring fields and caves. He's the greatest game developer who ever lived. Lately, he's spent a lot of time working on a movie and a theme park. Obviously not everyone is privileged enough to do all of that, but skills it takes to make a game are applicable to a lot more than games. You don't have to be a game person, making games about games for people who like games. You can. It's valid and good. But it doesn't need to be all you are. Make games because you want to make games; because what you're making couldn't be anything else. Don't default to a medium. Choose it. Embrace it. Find the limits, and then keep pushing.

The Ore Snatcher's Identity

So I watched the trial of Mumbo Vs XbCrafted (aka Mumbo Vs Hermitcraft) and it was amazing. So many jokes. So much laughs. XbCrafted having pay Scar, Mumbo being stuck for everyone’s butler for two weeks meanwhile most of Hermitcraft is on break due to the Holidays, and Doc being sent back to Sky prison because he was asking about the Ore Snatcher again. It was amazing. I watched Mumbo’s perspective then Scar’s. Scar’s perspective of the trail is on his Vod’s Channel for whatever reason in case you were curious. Link to Scar’s Video is the rarer of the two. Link: Mumbo vs XBCrafted: I'm The Lawyer – A Hermitcraft Season 10 Special!

However, I want to analyze one thing that happened during the trail. While Cub was being a witness for Scar, during his cross examination, Doc derailed the trail to try and get Cub to confess under oath whether he is the ore snatcher or not. Cub said he wasn’t the Ore Snatcher, but he does know who the Ore Snatcher really is and that the Ore Snatcher is in the courthouse.

Now before we analyze this info there’s two things I want to discuss. One, there is no reason for us to assume that Cub is lying about knowing who the Ore Snatcher is. It’s pretty clear that he does know who the Ore Snatcher is and it wouldn’t benefit him to lie about this detail. Secondly, there’s reason to think Cub is lying to Doc when he said he isn’t the Ore Snatcher. After all, Cub did the very same thing when Grian asked him if he was the Jingler back during season 6. However, we don’t have definitive proof that Cub is lying to Doc. Cub is very sneaky and there could be a sneaky third option where he isn’t the Ore Snatcher so he isn’t lying to Doc but he is helping the Ore Snatcher get through Doc’s security. It seems very Cub of him to be like that. However, we don’t know for sure if Cub is lying to Doc or not if he truly is the Ore Snatcher or not, so it’s up in air. Cub could be ore snatcher and lied under oath, or he didn’t. I’m not ruling him out of the suspect range just yet. I want to wait until we know definitively who the Ore Snatcher is.

Anyway, on to the subject of this post. Now I will be using this link for my research and theorizing. Link to the reddit which is a compliation of all the data on the Ore Snatcher. Thank you Reddit for a change. Ore Snatcher main theories and research : r/HermitCraft Out of the people in the court, who is the most likely to be the Ore Snatcher. First things first, we need to know, who is in the Court? Well, it was Vintage Beef, iJevin, Bdubs, Doc, Cub, XbCrafted, JoeHills, SmallishBeans (aka Joel), Rendog, ZombieCleo, FalseSymmetry, Scar, and Mumbo. Now let’s examine who is the most likely to be the Ore Snatcher.

Doc is an easy elimination because why would Doc do this to himself? It makes no sense and it’s clear Doc is under destress because of the Ore Snatcher. The man is dooming himself to Sky prison because he is that obsessed with catching the man or woman. It’s clear that Doc is not the Ore Snatcher. It’s also not Doc’s wife since she’s not at the Court.

The next least likely to be the Ore Snatcher that isn’t Doc himself is Mr. Smallishbeans himself. Look, while Joel is a prankster and loves to mess with people, the man is not sneaky in the slightest and is bad with red stone. Have you seen Joel’s traps? They suck. The man also doesn’t want to make enemies during season ten because this is the guy’s first season. It’s why he hasn’t stolen from his neighbors or played that many pranks. He’s also really, really busy gathering resources for his mega builds because his shops suck. Sure, Joel’s diamond poor but the man felt guilty for getting the Diamond Ores from the Snails once he learned they were Scar’s Ores. Joel is not the Ore Snatcher.

The next man I want to eliminate is Mumbo. There are a lot of reasons that Mumbo isn’t the ore snatcher. He views Redstone as sacred, fears Doc, has been busy making his town then mega factory or has been on holiday, and he is not dexterous enough to escape the Warden. The only time he went against Doc was when he was a Buttercup, and it was only because he was with Grian and Scar. Besides, it was their fault to begin with, he was just their neighbor and was stuck in the crossfire.

Next is ZombieCleo. While she does like to mess with Doc and isn’t scared of him, she would be all up in his face about the fact that he lost his ores. She also wouldn’t let this game play out for so long, especially after she already lost her pig because the man accused her of being the ore snatcher and would have stopped once her friend Joe was covered in water. I’m 99% sure she was the imposter Ore Snatcher who gave Doc all his ores back. She was probably sick of the Ore Snatcher’s games and tried to calm Doc down. She may be a gas lighter, but she knows when enough is enough.

Next to eliminate is Rendog. Look the man loves his husband and while he does like to mess with people it’s usually people who aren’t Doc and even his pranks on Doc are pretty light heart. Ren wouldn’t hurt Doc like this. Look the man tried to sway Martyn from being evil and Ren is only okay at Redstone, he wouldn’t be able to get around Doc’s security even after Doc explained it to him. It’s not Ren.

Next to eliminate is Bdubs. While the guy likes to prank people and it would make an interesting court drama, it’s clear that Bdubs is sick of the Ore Snatcher and Doc bringing him up all the time. It’s why Doc was sentenced to Sky prison again for bringing up the ore snatcher. Bdubs doesn’t have the patience to keep the mystery of the Ore snatcher up. Also Bdubs is bad at being sneaky and is only kind of okay at redstone, like he’s at beginner’s level redstone, the man would not be able to disable Doc’s redstone and his friends who do know redstone are all busy.

Next is Vintage Beef, while the guy is pretty sneaky and has a rivalry with Doc due to Big Salmon, however, it’s because he and Doc have this big rivalry with Doc thanks to Big Salmon it makes him too easy of a target for Doc’s wrath. Also, the prank uses the Glitcher$ as the identity of the Ore Snatcher’s group instead of Big Salmon. Not to mention, Beef has been too busy being a dad, and according to other people, it’s not the guy’s style of pranks. It’s safe to say that Beef isn’t the Ore Snatcher.

Next one I want to eliminate is XbCrafted, while the man is sneaky and does like to have misfit, the man would not let this go on for this long without revealing himself as the ore snatcher, especially after Joe got flooded. (Sorry this is short, I don’t know Xb that well.) (UPDATE: Xbcrafted confirmed on twitter that he isn't the Ore Snatcher. Link to Post: xBCrafted on X: "I have not in the past, nor will I in the future, snatch ore. Yall know me better than that. My fear of being an inconvenience to anyone other than Keralis or Hypno wouldn't allow it." / X) (So yeah, my theory that Xb isn't the Ore Snatcher is correct. Go me.)

Next I want to eliminate is Joe, like the man is an enigma and Doc like to blame every weird thing on Joe but the man streams everything he does and whenever he’s not streaming he’s making videos. Also, he’s way too busy with everything. He would also not keep stealing Doc’s ores after Doc flooded his home. Now some people say ‘but what the cobblestone he had in inventory after Doc killed him?’. Well, there are a lot of reasons he could have it without him being the ore snatcher. One of them could be because he was connecting his lawyer and bookshop to the courthouse road that’s what the road to the courthouse is made of.

Now there are four characters left. FalseSymmetry, iJevin, Cub and Scar. These are the guys I say are the most likely to be the Ore Snatcher.

Of the four, I feel like Jevin is the least likely to be the ore snatcher. However, I am unconfident in this saying because I don’t watch Jevin’s work. I’m only because other people in the community say the scale isn’t big enough for Jevin’s taste, but since I don’t watch Jevin so it’s still possible that Jevin is the Ore Snatcher. If someone who watch’s Jevin more often has a better defense for Jevin, please let people know since he’s still a possible suspect.

Now we have Scar, Cub, and False, and I bet I got a few people confused. After all, why haven’t I eliminated Scar? After all, there are a number of reasons to say Scar’s not the Ore Snatcher. Scar said he was done poking the Goat thanks to season 9, Scar is bad at redstone. Scar is clumsy, and Scar can’t hold a secret. Well… yes, Scar is all of these things. There’s a good reason for Doc letting go of his suspicion of Scar, but I want to give Scar’s his flowers because he’s a lot smarter than other people think he is.

Why do I think this? Well, because Scar won Secret Life. Scar managed to get the entire server on his side even though he was the villain of Secret life before he made his final stance with the Mounders against Gem and the Scotts. He tricked Tango onto the Mounder’s globe to burn it before knocking the block under his feet. He convinced Joel to kill Skizz on his regards. He managed to stay under the radar of everyone and was everyone’s friend before the final battle. Scar’s very smart. He’s also a master liar and will cut things to make himself look good. Good example. His interaction with Ren and Martyn in Third Life when he wanted the enchanter. In Scar’s perspective, he’s chill, nice, and just vaguely asking for the enchanter in exchange for friendship and sand. In Martyn’s POV, we see the sinister and villainous side of Scar. It helps that Martyn’s music is amazing. It shows how sleazy and scarry Scar is. How he tries to get Ren to lose his alliance with Martyn. How he tries to strong arm Ren into the deal. How he acts like a villain. I love Scar, but man is he scary when he wants to be the villain.

But that doesn’t explain how Scar got past the redstone. Even Xisuma questions it, and I think I have the answer. Cub. Cub is Scar’s redstone man and just as much a suspect of the case. It’s very likely Scar had Cub deactivate the alarm. It could also mean what while Cub isn’t technically the Ore Snatcher, since he didn’t snatch any ores, that doesn’t mean he isn’t helping. And the Glitcher$ could be another name for the Vex. Scar has Cub make the signs, since Scar was almost catch by his misspelling and didn’t want Doc on his case. Cub threw Scar under the bus many times because he doesn’t want to be attacked by Doc.

We could even bring False into the club since she is also an honorary member of the Convex. I watched season 5. One final clue it could be Scar, Scar uses dirt as scaffolding since he hates regular scaffolding, during one of Doc’s videos, there’s a random pillar of dirt he finds in his base that he knocks down. It could have been a possible clue that Scar accidentally left behind.

Anway, these are my thoughts. Hope you like it.
