I guess it comes down to whether HHG shows up before the deadline and what they decide.
I’m surprised that KAOS has also not given more consideration to Starline’s suspicions of Sports.
Maybe KAOS figures that they have an easier case to make for their own innocence against Assai in the final three in case they are wrong, rather than against Samraku on the final day, in case they are wrong about Assai.
Edit to add:
The vote is split 2-2 between Samraku and Assai, since HHG still has their vote set on nobody. I doubt ginger will show up before the deadline, since they seem to be typically offline around this time of day due to time zone differences, so their vote won’t change. HHG has been flaky about participation, and it’s possible (perhaps likely) that they miss the deadline without casting a vote against anyone. Assai might as well stay silent for the rest of the day.
I think KAOS and Samraku will realize that having no one die due to a tie vote would really hurt the astronauts, so hopefully one of them changes their vote to prevent wasting one of their guesses.
Maybe if Samraku cannot sway KAOS back against Assai, it would actually be better for Samraku to vote against themselves to prevent the tie and leave only Assai as the prime suspect against KAOS, who has a good chance to argue for their own innocence based on their early instigation of suspicions against Starline.
Or maybe, if it becomes apparent that HHG and ginger are not showing up, KAOS could possibly change their vote back to Assai, just to avoid having a no kill from a tie.
However, if this game does come down to the final 3, with Samraku dying today, I think Assai will kill ginger tonight and have a good shot of fooling HHG, who has already expressed skepticism against KAOS and may better relate to the passive attitude shown by Assai lately.
Another edit:
Samraku has indeed changed their vote to their self to avoid a tie vote killing no one. HHG showed up, does not have anything to add to the conversation, but votes to kill Samraku as well. It’s terribly ironic that they finally showed some signs of activity at the beginning of this day, calling for careful considerations, but then only went silent for the vast majority of the day, except to come back at the end to cast a vote.
It looks like Samraku is doomed, and I think Assai should kill ginger tonight, since it appears that ginger might be more easily swayed by KAOS. I think HHG is leaning against KAOS for tomorrow’s vote, despite (I think) KAOS having a better position to argue for their innocence, since I don’t believe HHG would necessarily view it the same way, or take much care in making their decision.
It seems that KAOS shares my frustrations at HHG’s dismal lack of effort in this game. HHG had a golden position of being an early confirmed innocent, but has squandered it and didn’t even want to be bothered by the volume of notifications coming from the game. However, KAOS has to be careful and diplomatic here as well. Assai will appear more relatable to HHG tomorrow and may easily win their vote just by coming off as friendlier.
