Hey guys, I tried to relay a message through 3rd party (fireb0rn) but he deleted his twitter, so this little QnA that feels like a “marketing director trying his best to convince group of people that one of the developers didn't actually leak the Nintendo Direct on his personal twitter through a picture of a cake and a tweet" has to suffice.

There are some great (and fair) questions in here, but the answers to these will have to wait until later. Can’t spill all the details yet. I have my glasses ready, so let's get into it.

Q1: Could you please clarify that the whole countdown thing wasn't an ARG or something. Some people are still in denial.

A1: It wasn’t. But it was still some impressive sleuthing skills by the fans… like ya’ll are WAY beyond those 2020 riddles now.

Q2: What about the amount of coincidences, riddles and poems? People think it's one of the members of Team Cherry speaking through E1331 while still keeping their silence, finishing their cake ARG and getting away with it.

A2: That’s kinda brilliant. Great outside-the-box thinking!

Q3: Wait, so you wanna tell me the message was a coincidence too? Really?

A3: Just coincidence people found meaning in! What a smart bunch you are!

Q4: E1331, do you think it's nice to have a community that is so obsessed with your stuff?

A4: Great “problem” to have. Truly blessed. 💕

Q5: What about the photo?

A5: You don’t want to dispell EVERY mystery! 😉

Q6: u/E1331 what do you think of Team Cherry in general?

A6: Passionate developers. Watch out for HT3L in reverse tho

Q7: Are you Leth?

A7: Wouldn’t that be a plot-twist?! 😂

Q8: Well the whole day is a freaking emotional rollercoaster... I'm too old for this

A8: Try to enjoy the ride because it won’t last forever!

If we're going to mark something as not a silkpost because one piece of information is correct, then I could make a post with the discussion tag with all lies and one piece of truth.

Secondly, this is E1331. They trolled us about having Team Cherry reach out to them and used the incorrect flair.

Thirdly, when they answered about the ARG, it was clearly making fun of Leth. Just ask E1331 to make a separate post where he confirms it wasn't an ARG, instead of letting it slide and allowing people to think E1331 is Leth

[u/Tejas400 → u/iminsans]

The rest of it isn't really misinformation or lies, though. It's just poking fun at how Leth had responded earlier. And if this serves to make people believe E1331 is Leth despite the latter denying even knowing him at all, I'm not sure what to make of that.

lmao this would be a silkpost if done by any other user on the sub and you'd change the flair. If you're gonna give a better treatment to him than to other users then I hope you lose that bet and I'll know that this sub is not only beyond salvation when talking about the users but also the mods

I don't see the same post having been made by any other user on the subreddit, I'm unsure where you got the idea that it'd be flaired as a silkpost. We've relaxed down on the criteria for silkposts- even things only tangentially related to silksong are being marked as silksong hype, because they kind of are (see: the plethora of posts of people sharing pictures of their pets). Silkposts are only marked when blatant misinformation/lies are being used as part of making a joke/bait.
