You are trying too hard to infer IC reasonning for something clearly purely OOC.
I'm still having a hard time seeing what OOC justification you're imputing to the Zuma GM.
He knew OOC—with 100% certainty—that the message Terrence sent was a fake, and who put him up to it.
He knew this before he requested the torture report.
He has said this already.
Are you just ignoring his posts? Or do you think he's a liar? Which I wouldn't generally ask, by the way, but in general, your and Vellos's treatment of the Zuma GM in all this has been pretty atrocious. You've been acting all along as if he's a convicted bug-abuser who deserves whatever insults you feel like thrown his way—an attitude that we would rarely tolerate toward another player.
