I remember Chuggs having this conversation and him sending it to Natiko makes complete sense to me. My issue completely lies in the RNG. Maybe there really was a good fruit and it just failed but the problem is, he could easily have used some other 2 exp skill and now he's openly telling us about the second evil power he used.
I'm going to be real, I have no drive to go after Chuggs anymore, if he gets to 6 exp and we don't see a fruit show up somewhere then that outs him but honestly, what's the play? I re-read his original claim and he really thought a fruit had gone out, it doesn't read as an act and honestly, he wasn't under enough pressure imo to come up with this whole failed RNG story. Even if a fruit doesn't show up after he gets to 6 exp, I'd probably believe he was roleblocked over him being lying scum because again, he set up this whole timer on himself, he had no reason to do this.
So congratulations Chuggs, you were so sure I was going to tunnel you into the ground but even with malus' posts, I really just can't see the scum angle here anymore. It makes no sense with what's been presented.
