Splinter/Dragonz
From the very start of the game Splinter engages Dragonz (424). #1047 was in response to Splinter (about faddy), In one of the rare occurences where Dragonz acted rather than reacted she throws a question at Splinter (2252)
She gives a more detailed read here (early D3):
His reads are consistent and justified, I feel, but everything else about him triggers my alarm bells. It's mostly a gut read, but there's something about his play that's so...not Splinter that weirds me out. He's usually more aggressive and I remember when he bussed me hard in....I can't remember what game, but I can't help but feel like he's being passive on purpose. It's just not really like him.
Although he explained it, his late day vote on Crab is also suspicious. I'd read him as null, slight scum.
She refers to a past game and I absolutely do not understand why she'd bring the bolded up. Splinter's reaction:
Price is right? Where I was scum?
I don't remembering tunneling you in a game where I was town?
Yeah that was the one...I got really mad and then I got dumped in real life and asked for a replacement
I really don't understand this. The topic is dropped afterwards. I don't see the reason why you would talk about this as w/w.
Ah, a little more about fran when Splinter asked:
Gut read. Wanted to prod a bit and see how he would react,
She later scumreads Splinter and faults his inactivity, to which he shows up and objects (2870)
After Splinter claimed, she changes her read:
My read of splinter has been based on little to no information on him and his lack of engagement striked me as odd, because (and I know this is going to sound hypocritical) but I expected him to be more active. Now I see why this was the case, but at the time, I didn't know. It was a gut read and yeah, even though in hindsight I was wrong, I still stand by my reads of him at the time.
She seems to believe him, even though Splinter's claim was questionable.

As we can see Splinter was treated differently than the rest of us the whole game. Maybe a bit similar to CCS with the shade throwing but not in the same extent. All of this makes me lean rather town on Splinter.
But... if it wasn't for this one tiny bit of a shitpost answer right here, Dragonz said she considers Splinter to be the chameleon of gafia and this is his response:
Call me meta focused all you want, but this is what he did in Mini 2! He posted boner pics, when people praised him for his play (while the game was going, he won as a sole scum later). That's right up his alley as scum.
