I am so, so, so sorry Mist. I was going to coup AW but then I realized you would win. I have no choice but to kill you. (Well, I do, but it would result in death)

Apologies, friend. wipes tear

Okay, I've given Aspiring Writer his 2 cards from Ambassador Exchange. We'll wait for them to choose what card to keep before continuing.

I think the fairest way to do this will be to process their turns as they already stated them.

@Chasmgoat Do you block, challenge, or do nothing?

[Chasmgoat he/him]

I block as captain

[Aspiring Writer]

I challenge that captain.

[Chasmgoat he/him]

I reveal a captain and win the game.

I knew you would have to challenge. There was no way you could have won that at the end.

Good game

[Aspiring Writer]

I swear I saw another captain in the deck.

at least the trend of game masters winning continues. 

Edited February 3, 2021 by Aspiring Writer

[Chasmgoat he/him]

maybe you did. There are 4 of them though

[Mist she/her]

It was fun. I would like to mention that, at the end, being continually stolen from, was not great. I felt like I could do nothing to change the game, although I did realize after some thought I could still affect the game, to an extent. 

[Chasmgoat he/him]

yeah, you can easily get stuck in a situation like that. Changing alliances is a very useful way to use others as a weapon for cheap

Congrats to Chasmgoat! Yeah, challenging was the only option for at least the chance that you had been bluffing. It was too bad that all Assassins had been revealed because otherwise that offers another path for bluffing.

Actually I thought things were over a few rounds earlier because I completely forgot about the Allegiance swapping. Aspiring Writer used that nicely to extend the game. I think having Allegiances in the game did add another nice layer that some players used to good advantage. And that Treasury Reserve was sitting there with lots of coins a couple times during the game.

If you were looking through the role PM, yes, at one point the Captain was in the deck and Negative had the Ambassador for awhile. Eventually he kept the Captain. There are currently 3 Ambassadors and 1 Contessa in the deck. It was actually too bad that not many Ambassadors were in play, and the players tended not to want to bluff about having one.

Yeah, unfortunately when it is evident that you only have a Duke, you can be stolen from continually with nothing to do. You might have tried what Aspiring did by bluffing an Ambassador all of a sudden. Even though people might highly doubt you have it, each player doesn't want to be the one to challenge and possibly lose to the small chance you actually did bluff about your Duke the whole time.
