Okay, listen y'all, I don't give 2 shits either way on this. Chap is a very intelligent and reasonable poster, so I wanted to contribute from a totally unbiased point of view.

My point is that as I read the first couple pages of the house of cards thread, yes, there is speculation all over the board, but if I were to wade through it all and make a pick based on that, I would pick Parvati. I think (my opinion, and I think it's reasonable) that a majority of unbiased people reading that would get a lean to Parvati. *Especially* given how the edits had gone already to that point.

Then, I simply posted *facts* about when Parv's stats jumped and by how much.

Again, point being: You don't need solid spoilers to spoil Edgic. If there are edgicers reading spoilers, and they are reading clues (and speculation about them) by known spoilers, then their ratings/picks could be being influenced.

Anyway, whatever. Believe what you want to believe. I seriously honestly couldn't care less, and was just trying to provide an outside view.
