Ugh god **** it. I wanted to hold off long enough to see what Soviet claimed for his the third power, but holding back any longer would just be a detriment to fruitful discussion.
I'm the vig. Yes, I'm a vig. Deal with it.
N1 I withheld shooting because I felt the events that had transpired were far too murky to make that kind of call. Plus, sometimes SKs are required to kill every night, and claiming vig always sucks in endgame, so every little bit to debunk the likelihood that I'm an SK helps, right? Ronike agreed with me and didn't put in a night action.
N2... well, does that really need any explanation at all? Sir Bedevere and jungle were both very scummy to both Ronike and myself. N2 was all me; Ronike wanted to shoot Chibo, but he wasn't read up or able to do a reread or anything like that. So I did a ****load of rereading, Sir Bed and junglefever still looked scummy as ****, and they looked so much worse with Cheez's flip. I think it's safe to say I made the most of that flip.
If you reread my posts on D3 you might see my exasperation. The exasperation was about a lot more than what I felt was frankly a bad case, all conveniences of suspecting me at the time aside. It was about not claiming vig before going into N3. I had a get out of jail free card -- at least for that Day -- and I refused to play it, because doing so would be antitown. I felt there was a **** good chance mafia would kill me on N3 because of not only my capabilities as a player, but specifically the fact that I'd already hit such an important member of their team (if they hadn't recruited yet), the fact that I was more clear by a sane Tando than Gordito was... really, there'd have been lots of reasons to kill me on N3 if I was out in the open. Anonymity was my friend, and town's friend. There was also the chance that mafia might think I was just playing an excellent game as an SK, and kill me to throw doubt on Tandora.
N3 I shot EdPieces. My rationale is in the paper trail. Hell, I even breadcrumbed it when I was "talking to the vig". I said that I still didn't like Ed and that he'd be a good shot, but that a No-Shoot would also be a pretty solid play. Basically I was trying to breadcrumb to OS (whom I consider an astute player, and may well have seen it), and Tandora (who may not have caught the crumb, but still may have considered Ed a likely vig target). I didn't want either of them to blow an investigation on someone I was fairly sure I would want to shoot that Night. That would be antitown.
When Ed wasn't dead in the morning, and two townies were, I was worried that an antitown faction of some kind had a bus driver, caught my crumb, and used it. After thinking on it, I don't think has taken place. Bulletproof was the conclusion I came to after I calmed down from the initial irritated panic. It fits Wrex and it fits a Krogan, that's for sure.
Any suggestions I've made throughout the game about serial killers etc etc were just me protecting my role. I thought about how I'd perceive the situation as a VT, and I stated it. Simple as.
So, basically, unless we're dealing with a brilliant Serial Killer that has pulled the greatest Endgame Surprise Kill of all time... there IS no serial killer. Seriously. Sink that deep into your noggins, make the rest of these clamheads finish claiming, and redirect your assumptions. Because I'm the vigilante, and I shot EdreesesPieces last night.
