Who's The Rat?

[nikvoodoo]

Yep, it's number one. I had to go to the wiki and look up Bill, and then I had to look up each chapter in the wiki to figure out where I heard the TIVO/DVR part. Of course, after THAT, I found the thread you guys discussed the zombie with the tattoos and how KC said to re-listen to that part for the "aka Ink" bit.
But, I'm still blaming the Tower's Bill for being the rat, but I cannot do it with my old reasoning anymore, so I will have to go with gut feeling on this one.

The wiki (and quite honestly this thread) will provide you with more than enough ammunition to toss Bill's way. You don't have to go on gut feelings

Check out the Unanswered Questions section of the wiki. You'll get plenty of reasons why Bill was the Rat there.

I was inclined to think Bill originally - but his whole demeanor centered on going it alone - not interracting much and not being beholden to anyone had me going back and forth on possibilities. If he knew the mallers previously, he was pretty secure in his position and had no reason to reach out to them - if they'd reached out to him or attempted to take control of the tower prior to Michael/Saul/Angel etc. his words on first encounter should have been more "I told you no" rather than "how do I know you're not a zombie" (my paraphrasing). Plus, getting tied in with the mallers puts him in a position of subservience - and he seemed too "solo/nomad" to go that route. The mallers (especially Scratch) seem as good at deriving intel as Michael - so my thoughts veered to Datu: in any encounter he could have given up the farm in discussion without realizing the need for OPSEC. Still, even ignorance on keeping your pie-hole shut doesn't put you in a position of dialing in their CB channel and rolling over for them - so he's out. Kelly was an option b/c I didn't know what kind of lawyer she was - if she was a sleezoid - defender for all the worst criminals - she could have tie-ins and owe favors - might put her near the top of someone who could make dispassionate aliaances and deals. Saul, Burt, Pegs, Lizzy and Riley were non-options in my book. Angel and Michael were options - but I'll save that for another post. Last is Kalani: he makes snap decisions, he's hot tempered and he waffles - sounds like a recipe for making a deal, giving up the goat, then questioning what he'd done and waffling again.

Bill barely trusted the Tower residents, I really think the Rat is allowing people to think Bill is the Rat to continue his own devious plans.

Who the hell thought it was Burt? The mallers stole his guns, why would he help them take over the tower?

The only reason I think people might think it was Burt is the fact we never heard his rampage amongst the mallers when he dropped down during the War, He could've been down there, Plotting.

I don't see Bill as being an option for the Rat. Sure he stole food and guns, but he said sorry for that when he died. I also think that Bill wouldn't have been willing to alert the Mallers and then go help the tower. It just doesn't make sense. My Kalani theory may not give a definite answer but it certainly shows that Kalani's story doesn't add up.

I don't think Bill was the rat. I believe he was saying sorry for stealing the food and other supplies. Plus the unanswered questions make it look too obviously like Bill and I'm inclined to believe KC wouldn't do something so obvious like that.

ahh but the wiki is put together by more than just Kc and it does make a pretty good case along with I think it was he who mentioned to check the wiki. Then again Kc could just be throwing us off track with that.

With the twists and turns we've been through already who knows what he's got up his sleeve......

I edited the wiki page last night to add the Tower-Gate post which gives a pretty indepth analysis of who possibly is the rat.
