This is correct. I didn't know where to start at all, picked up that how many use their vote early on is to force others to talk and gain some starting information, so it seemed reasonable to me to add some pressure on AB.
This on the other hand is some heavy reaching, if not a dishonest interpretation of what happened. The tail-end of my bandwagon? There's literally one vote for kingkitty between #508 and my own vote, CornBurrito's - and it was posted while I was reevaluating my thought process and typing #515. In this post you'll also find the explanation for why I didn't vote for him immediately: a simple fallacy. I thought kingkitty's typo, an unconscious mistake, somehow supported him being Hope when actually a Despair player could have made the exact same mistake.
There was hardly heavy pressure on kingkitty at this point. Some people thought his descent into madness was too absurd to be a scum play, while others simply didn't know what to make of it (including myself). In the end I did indeed settle for kingkitty again, stating my discontent with the vote. Crab's defense satisfied me for the moment (maybe prematurely), but the issue had taken up most of the remaining D1 time and kingkitty was the only vote I could support without further research at the time. The post you linked says precisely that.
Yes, I didn't vote on D2. Here's the reasoning I gave for it that you left out. I'd like to hear your issues with this specifically, rather than wordily stating that I didn't vote. Again, to be fully clear, Crab's thorough reads that he started posting are what I couldn't justify losing. I bought his explanation that they were time-consuming, and they are, and it was getting late for him as well. But I now find it suspicious that after all he never did follow up on them, and also that he stopped at the one that painted myself in a very positive light, me who started the big Crab discussion. He's a player who I trust could write these elaborate reads up just as a deflection, and if that's actually the case he absolutely succeeded.
Fluff.
And now here we are, Day 3. I was hoping to wait and see how Vivi would react to today, and get more fuel for the fire. The reason for this is because day 3 is critical, as it is Day 3 where we can recognize patterns. As the saying goes: Once is a fluke, Twice is a coincidence, but Three times is a trend. Sadly, this did not come to pass, and I am disappointed, because if he reacted the way I thought he would've, then I could've been able to post this with %100 conviction. But alas, it was not meant to be.
Now here comes the big question: Why would Vivi be the ninja? For that, we must consult the map:
ViviOggi is in the same hallway as Francorp, Salva, Pau, and AbsoluteBro. If he were indeed scum and have killed either of the dead people, he would have been spotted as a member of 'Fight Club'. Therefore, if he is to be scum, there can only be two posibilities:
1.ViviOggi is a regular goon, and wasn't sent to kill Francorp, and wasn't spotted should he have killed Salva. We know he couldn't have killed Fran under this scenario, because no one spotted him... as far as we are aware, but I'm inclined to believe AB wouldn't have named Pau had he seen someone else as well.
2.ViviOggi is the ninja. Self explanatory.
Now this is under the assumption that Vivi isn't a roleblocker or some other kind of role that CzarTim ran into. It is still entirely possible for that to have occurred as Czar has declined to name anyone he ran into other than those we already know of.
Sorry that this took longer than I had hoped, but I wanted to make sure I have as much context for my post as possible so my suspicions could be made clear.
My opening statement was simply an intro. I was not saying you first move made you scum, but that in the context of you being scum it supports that theory. I was going over your voting record, and that is where it started.
Went back and ctrl-F'd all your day two posts, the only time you ever mention zipped are in these two reads posts.
I did not explain my thought process with the map correctly, and for that I apologize. I am not saying the map MAKES you Despair. But the map DOES limit what you can be if you are. Unless you were a member of fight club who CzarTim won't mention, it would be incredibly unlikely for you to be Despair unless you were either shackled to your room, or a ninja. It wasn't 'he's the ninja and here's why,' but rather to give a plausible and realistic reason for why you could be Despair and yet not seen dispite having been in the middle of the most activity on night one.
au I will only reveal my ability at the start of a day. I won't reveal at the end of a day, even if it means I'm getting lynched. Switch your vote.
Oh you've gotta be kidding me...
I didn't want to give up Ty4on's name. I still am not convinced it's the best way because now we have two targets on Hope players instead of just one.
Leaning Despair but not certain. His role "goof-up" was intentional.
So... I clarified this with Launch and if I'm understanding this correctly, Czar would have seen her no matter which way she went simply because she's directly across from me. Basically, instead of one person lines like my map, imagine each line takes up the whole hallway. Basically Pau and I would always see each other on nights we both moved around.
UNVOTE
auYou really want me to reveal even more information to Despair? Makes you a bit suspicious, in my eyes.
Yes, this was all just a ruse to get Hope to waste two days killing Despair.
