Sanity
Hildred Castaigne is utterly Insane, but shows as Sane for the Alienist’s scan. He’s been given a clean bill of health, after all.
Is that the same for majority vote, show as Sane?

No. Hildred's immunity only applies to the Alienist's scan. Hildred is lynchable.

Getting caught up.

I didn't realize that Hagrid could be lynched during the day. I assumed the "sane" was a game tag that a person had or didn't have, and that Hagrid couldn't have it.

I think I have a plan that might work.
Only artists can seduce the muse.
Each night one artist seduces the muse. Muse confirms each day.
Once every artist is identified, the muse makes them all insane except one.

Does thatvwork?
The muse can only make one lover insane per night, so - I think that sounds too drawn out.

Everyone! As far as I see it there is only one choice for art students and that is to become inspired. You have two options to do that. Read the play (if you have one) or Seduce the Muse and we all know the muse is Holman. Also, there is no limit to the number of people who could seduce the Muse and become inspired tonight. This grants you victory. Then the next night all the inspired/insane students can destroy their plays and the game is won.

Now to be clear you must keep your copy of the play a secret. Not because someone may steal it (the alienist cannot steal them) but because it would clue the alienist to visit your house tomorrow night. He might be able to commit one of you before morning. I know that is rolling the dice but the other option is we extend the game further and no one benefits from that except the alienist. REMEMBER THAT.

I BRING YOU INSPIRATION!!!! THINK OF THE MARVELS YOU SHALL CREATE UNDER MY GUIDANCE. A BENEVOLENT DICTATORSHIP IS UPON US!!!

I've known the identity of the muse for at least one day and I didn't out Holman. Unfortunately, he outed himself. We know at least one and maybe two students already have the play so its possible only ONE art student has the play and can seduce the Muse tonight. Thats the best case scenario but I can't guarantee it. Again, I didn't out Holman, he outed himself. Please take that information into account. Now I don't mean shout you have the book or are insane or anything. You can still get committed by the alienist. ok?

I guess it really depends on if enough artists have the book plus one to seduce the muse.
IF we have that we can win tonight and i dint think the alienist can do anything about it.

Punisher, no promises. You are as good a target as any. I had a great reason to kill moliere however it’s important information I can’t share. Just understand that I’ve made logical decisions based on night time events.

You have no defense against me killing you. Why are you so worried about something you can’t stop? It’s either going to happen or it won’t.

Ok.
Cards on the table.
I think we can all win tonight if everything us lined up.
I already volunteered to seduce the muse to the muse win. All other artists need to read the book tonight and then its game over and we all win.
Hadgrid wins because we already have an insane student.
Muse and i win because we help each other.
Other artists win because they all become inspired.

My issue..
I have a book.
I cant seduce tonight because of the book so im thinkning search me today and get the book remived so i can seducemuse tonight.
But if every other artist except one doesnt have the book then its better for them to seduce and me read the book.
This doesn't work if hagrid decides to be mean and kill me for not being insane.
It also means that if this fails, im dead tomorrow night by the alienist.

What are you working at? Are you really worried about me killing you? You were never a target but all this delay is very suspicious. My only target tonight would be the alienist. I'm not targeting anyone out of "meanness". Only threats to my victory condition.

What the heck? I'm not voting for Punisher.

Voting for Holman a safe choice for everyone but the Alienist. However, if Punisher is the alienist voting for himself changes nothing either. I want Punisher to have fun in the game so I'm not sure what is going on.
