This is probably paranoia, but what if CV is actually some sort of psychological test for recruiting perfect candidates for some secret project? Think about it. The way it is set up, and how it trains you in a specific way to see who is the best at a specific type of action. It totally makes sense they would add in bots disguised as GH members as well for comparison to live members. It all makes sense, how aloof CC is, the nature of when CV happens, the structure of the testing. This could be a deep conspiracy that goes far deeper than a simple keyboard enthusiast artisan sale.
If I disappear in the next few days you'll know why. Avenge me!
