Well, I can't really do much if you don't believe me, but my travel schedule this month has indeed been pretty all over the place.
I must completely disagree with this. You have plenty to work with without calling out my activity outside of this game, as you have demonstrated with your following points. I personally find it to be bad sportsmanship because using my activity outside this game makes it more personal, and I think that's why I found your previous post to be quite hurtful.
Using completed games to talk about their mechanics (like I mentioned the godfather from the Star Wars game), or to talk about a player's general playstyle is ok in my opinion (but this sort of talk should be limited. For example, I mentioned before that I thought Zipped was hard to read from the star wars game, but he was an ordinary in that one).
But using outside games to say 'you had time to play those but not prepare for DR!'...I feel like that's out of line. Maybe others disagree with me.
The following points you made are totally valid, and actually quite fun to reply to. I've already addressed some of them, but shall do so in more detail.
I was indeed quite miffed that Hope ended D6 early. I really did have a lot to say, especially after Splinter's ridiculous claim. I had almost irrefutable proof that he was lying about his claim, and was really excited to share it after work. But I wasn't able to post anything after his claim.
If you're interested, it was this: Splinter was claiming that he had been protecting Sawneeks all throughout the game, because he knew where she went on odd nights. But then, at the end of Day 3, why did he vote for Sawneeks, attempting to keep CzarTim? That completely contradicted what he said before, and I was so excited I had nailed him. Nobody else had brought up this point. Then the day ended and I wasn't able to share this. In fact, it would be useless too.
I was also annoyed because Hope didn't wait for everyone's votes, and this would have been useful information for Day 7, especially if Splinter turned out to be Despair.
Of course, we've already won. It might just take us an extra day phase to route out the Despair, that's all.
I'll also add this: it would be quite risky for Despair members to all use similar strategies. Imagine if all the Despair members voted together, that would be very telling. I would imagine that Despair players would be encouraged to use their own play style.
That's my nature, I'm always cautious of those who roleclaim earlier than needed. I was also very suspicious Makai if you recall.
AB - I was suspicious of him from the very beginning, thinking he was in cahoots with CzarTim. I also have detailed posts throughout the game about why I thought he was suspcious
Sawneeks - I was suspicious for the same reason as above, but I did not think the three were in cahoots together. I even made a detailed post about some of her scummy behavior during the start of Day 6.
CornBurrito - I don't think I have ever been suspicious of him, in fact I've always had him cautiously pegged as Hope. I did say he has gone under my radar, and that I thought that was a dangerous thing.
Pau/Ty - I've never been terribly suspicious of them. In fact, I've always believed Pau was Hope, especially after her reactions Day 3.
So you're absolutely right about AB and Saw, but you're wrong that I didn't back up those claims. You make it sound like I voted them on a whim, but that's blatantly wrong. About Corn and Pau/Ty, I've never been terribly suspicous of them, at least not enough to re-read them when I had so many other juicy targets, so maybe you interpreted something wrong?
I'll also add this - if I were Despair, wouldn't I just kill AB and Saw, PRs, and pretend to be all buddy buddy with them during the day? Why openly suspect them during the day? Especially when neither were at great risk of being lynched Day 4 onwards. And yet, I kept my suspicions on them, going against the tide of the majority of Hope. Despair would try to blend in with the votes, but I didn't.
If you read my previous post, I have removed my suspicion of you, because of a post from AB I found buried in D5. I'm actually pretty proud of that find, you should read through it, I think you missed it!
This is correct. I definitely could have killed Corn. But don't get blind-sided with dorm room positions. People in the bottom row could have still done the kill, especially since they are familiar with Pau's route and especially since they knew for a fact that Sawneeks was not moving that night.
I would be wary of using spreadsheets as evidence of being hope-aligned. Remember Splinter with his monstrously huge ones? Guess what he turned out to be though!
I voted for Rest because I find his voting patterns to be quite telling of a Despair member (eg, he was the second-last vote on Splinter before Splinter hammered himself). I have explained my reasoning for voting for him elsewhere in this day phase (I think it's one of my first posts). But since my read on CM is quite ambiguous, I could readily vote for her too.
