So how about, instead of watching others beat around the Irrefutability Tree, we just...for the sake of my INSANITY...agree to turkeygree? Let's wait for the sequel to give us the much-needed confirmation that we gobblers need.................

Man, you are so full of shit. You know for a fact that you're insulting people, otherwise you wouldn't constantly post disclaimers before you went on with the backhanded remarks about people "ignoring the truth." You're basically flipping us the bird & saying you're just waving to us, like it fools anyone.

Also, you were the one who decided to start this debate, making a big show about how you were going to "see both points of view," & we should try to do the same. But then all you did was repeat your previous speculation, dismiss any point that disagreed with it as obviously wrong without giving any reason for why yours was so much better, & then move on to the aforementioned insults. And of course, when someone actually has the patience to respond to you in full, suddenly you want to "agree to disagree." Again, like anyone is fooled.

Also like there's any controversy. You have not proven your theory beyond a reasonable doubt, yet you act like it's the Word of God Himself. You "agreeing to disagree" is basically declaring that you're going to keep doing what you're already doing, but with less words.

And I don't really care what you think, I'm going to say this anyway: The Iteration Theory while, unlike this, having some degree of convincing evidence, is in much the same boat. It is not "irrefutable," there are a number of holes & contradictions with it, & various pieces which can be explained in other ways. As far as I can tell, there's been little real effort to actually attempt to falsify the Iteration Theory, & so how strong can it be, if it's literally never tested?

Also, even if it is true, it's still awful.

I'm just going to throw this idea out there; it's equally possible that Corpsy is literally no one else in the game. Considering how cliched the Proxy has become in Slender Man mythos, it would be a refreshing change and the best twist.

Anyway, here is my thoughts on each candidate for Corpsy and identifying what the evidence is and what the speculation is.

1) Lauren
Who is she? The protagonist of the game.
How likely is she to be Corpsy? Unless time travel is a thing like in Tribe Twelve or EverymanHYBRID, nil since she runs into Corpsy.
Motivation? To break her will, Slenderman did the most horrible thing imaginable; whenever she failed to escape in time he would grab her, wipe most of her memory and put all the notes in random locations. She wouldn't remember that she had already tried getting the notes, but a part of her mind would realise it and be driven mad over the many continues. To speed the process up Slendy brought back future Lauren to keep up the pressure in the mines.
Evidence? None.

2) Kate
Who is she? Lauren's childhood friend, owner of the house at the begining, and a talented artist.
How likely is she to be Corpsy? Of all the characters given some amount of characterisation she's the most likely. Granted, that is a grand total of three people.
Motivation? From the first level it's apparant Kate has not been in the best mental health as of late, becoming obsessed with the faceless man stalking her and drawing hundreds of notes relating to him. CR's suicide, sleep deprivation, and years of being stalked by Slendy finally took it's hold and poor Kate snapped, donning the mask and giving herself over to Slender.
Evidence? Circumstantal; she has the same colour hair as Corpsy, could be the same hieght (difficult to gage since we see things from Lauren's perspective, and we don't know how tall she is compared to anyone), corpsy is bundled up enough to render all traditional forms of identifying gender difficult, even the snarls brought up aren't beyond what a female's vocal cords could produce. She is however the only other person besides Corpsy and CR's corpse who we see on screen
Counterpoints? The timeframe of her adventures with CR are entirely undefined. All we can say for certain is that the blaze that killed CR did not start the forest first, because there are plenty of flamable materials in the building that are intact when you pass them, including the camera that recoreded CR's last words. So however far ahead Kate was is undeterminable.

3) Charles M.
Who is he? A missing child hinted to be kidnapped by Slender Man.
How likely is he? Nothing to discount him being Corpsy.
Motivation? Fuck knows, he never shows up on camera.
Evidence? The missing poster in the first episode and a letter from a CM in the third.
Counterpoint? That's literally the only evidence that CM even exists, and both are off the beaten track. The letter itself is impossible to find if you weren't looking for it as it's hidden in a dead-end you wouldn't have any reason to search. Tim's reveal as Masky had a lot more evidence towards it. A reveal should have some punch behind it, but since CM is a non-entity it just falls flat, no different to Corpsy being some random guy.

4) Some random guy
Who is he? Some random guy.
How likely is he? There's nothing to disprove it.
Motivation? Pissed he didn't make the game, he donned a mask and vowed to ensure no one could beat it.
Evidence? None.

I have indeed considered the possibility that Corpsey might just be Corpsey, & nothing else. I wouldn't say it's a good twist, though.

I've also considered the fact that a lot of our evidence hinges on Trosephim not getting the logistics wrong. There could be mistakes in the timeline, or things justified by "magic." I'm looking at you, mysterious flames that burst, fuel-less, out of the ground in front of me.

Also, if you're going to list Lauren-through-time-travel, then let's not forget:

5) CR revived from the dead.
Who is he? Kate's friend, killed himself.
How likely is he to be Corpsey? It's strange that everyone was willing to consider borderline mind control, but not revivification. However, Corpsey is clearly much shorter than CR's dead body, so unless he came back differently for some reason, no dice.
Motivation? Tried to kill himself to get away from Slenderman. Slenderman decided to do the worst possible thing, & bind him to its will forever.
Evidence? None.

I think those 5 things pretty much accurately sum up all of the possibilities (& non-possibilities).
