Nope, phantom is the only invincible player.

Also, if we try to lynch a critic or the cobbler, we are most likely going to get a fake diva/divo reveal. So if the diva/divo revealed now, we would at least have time to discuss it thoroughly if need be. A reveal a few minutes before deadline doesn't sound very tempting.

I agree. If the diva/o is going to reveal, it ought to be done in advance. And I'm beginning to think that maybe it would be a good idea. After all, the only advantage we would have in the diva/o remaining hidden is that the Critics might waste a kill on her/him, but that won't be much help if we don't get a baddie toDay - and knowing who the diva/o is would make that a lot easier.

Indeed. High heels look darn hot but are uncomfortable to wear too often.

Well unless the critics want to go tricksy again, I'm going to die next night. In any case I find it improbable that they should try to kill the diva/divo, so xe might as well reveal today and save us the trouble.

You're right! I hadn't thought about that. There really isn't any reason for the diva/o to not reveal.

Except for the possibility that they are targeted the night after tonight.

But as I said before, that assumes we lynch a baddie today.

And I agree that a Critic or Walter on his way to lynching is likely to claim to be the Divo. But the Divo would do that too. I would advise against a late voting flurry. Voting ahead of time would solve the problem of lynching the Divo and him not having enough time to prove his identity.

If that is the case, then I might agree that the Divo should come out early, for we would be unlikely to believe a late reveal without proof.

But if the Divo can swiftly prove himself, I don't see why he couldn't sit on his secret and only reveal if the vote swings his direction.

I think because knowing who is innocent will make it easier for us to figure out who is not.

That is no doubt because fascist boots are suitable for just about any occasion.

I haven't found the perfect fascist boots yet but I'm on the look out for them. Unfortunately my foot is so small that it's impossible to get anything authentic that would fit me.

Ha. The first thing that popped into my head was an image of a particularly small fascist dictator.
