@Ghanderflaffle your turn! 

To change the color you can use (color=green) text (/color) but with brackets instead of parentheses. And you can do other colors.

Anyways, I am going to stage a coup on @Whysper.

Okay, Duke is probably more valuable than Assassin in the long run, so my Assassin dies.

Also, okay, guys, we have a problem. Hentient and Ghanderfalle have a Duke and lots of coins, and we need to prevent this. The only way to do this is if someone challenges them, so that way they have to get rid of their duke and get a new card, which will open them up to stealing (Hopefully). However, whoever does this will lose a card. So, who is willing to sacrifice. (P.S Whysper, you dead next turn. There is no way Hentient doesn't coup you.)

How dare they! Honestly I’m kinda suspicious about the fact that we got the same cards, but I’m not going to challenge that.

That makes a little more sense. Not the word itself, but the reasoning.

Going to wait for Reading to reply with block or can't block. He might have an Ambassador. Actually hope he does because he may also have an Assassin. He hasn't used skills for either Duke or Captain, so good chance he does and has just been waiting. He should kill off one of Ghander's cards and then let Hentient finish off Ghander with a coup since he's the only real threat to her winning with his Duke + Captain combo.

Actually killing me would be a wasted coup. I'm hardly a threat to Hentient or anyone else. I only have a Duke, so anyone can steal from me to keep me from getting to 7 coins.

Hentient and Ghander are the biggest threats for everyone, including for each other. So Hentient would do well to seriously consider taking out Ghander. I mean, yeah, she could start taking out me and the others first, but then she opens herself up to Ghander attacking later. It will be a race between them to see who is the first to kill off just one card from the other. Because without the Duke + Captain combo, the other person can just out-tax or out-steal the other.

And everyone else not part of the Hentient-Ghander duo should be working to help Hentient. We need at least one of them out, and she has the chance now. So Reading, even if you don't have an Ambassador, you should claim one for blocking and Aspiring should just not challenge. Then Reading should claim Assassin to kill off one of Ghander's cards. I mean, he could challenge, but Reading has a very good chance of having an Assassin. If he challenges and Reading reveals that he does have an Assassin, then Ghander loses both cards and is out. So he probably won't challenge and just hope he can convince Hentient to not kill him off.

Haha  Well, it is coming down to end game, so definitely time to plan out the next moves. It was good and well to kill off a few people to reduce the possible interactions. But now that cards have been revealed and there are less players, everyone should be thinking through their best probabilities.

@Hentient Even if Reading doesn't go through with the assassination on Ghander, you should really consider using your coup on Ghander. He's the biggest threat to you. If you waste your coup now and he gets to 7 coins, he'll surely take out one of your cards to take away your Duke+Captain combo. That combo is very powerful, but just losing one of your cards will cripple you.
