Glynda believes in Ozpin too much to do question anything, and Qrow didn't manage to get a clear picture of Cinder thanks to Emerald.

Overall, there was both nothing they could do, and nothing they were trying to do. And what they did try only helped Cinder.

How much of this is great planning by Cinder and how much is bad/conveniant writing? 90% of it is great planning. 10% is bad writing. And only if you consider Ozpin doing nothing (keeping in mind that doing something like Ironwood did could have (and did) made things worse) is bad writing.

Ruby saw her with a small Robin-esque mask on but didn't even suspect, Cinder didn't speak so she can't recognize by voice. And a mask does wonders unless you get really close. Yes, even a simple "Robin-esque mask" works. And Ruby isn't the most attentive person either.

Overall, why would Ruby suspect Cinder at all?

Ironwood's firewall's must be shit, Or the virus is great. A virus that is possible wasn't made by Cinder herself.

Am I to believe that the entire cast is just no match for one teenager with a gifted brain? Weren't you the one who said you wanted the characters to use their brains instead of just "My Power Level is higher than Yours", and win through thinking?
