The other option is to vote out the hermit so that the celebrity is adjacent to the conman. Since the celebrity has the highest chance of being a cultist, that would ensure we cover that base.

Asiina, the other option for you is to do what you said and switch the conman with the hermit again so that we know what both of those cards are. That would stick the prophet next to the celebrity in that case.

Hi everyone.

I read the rules over a few times to make sure I can say this: The conman is currently the prophet.

Saying that you saw a specific trait card is actually explicitly against the rules.

PROPHET: This survivor negates one cultist card on one adjacent survivor at the end of the game. You may announce that this survivor is the prophet.

Asiina, to activate the CONMAN you must select which trait you wish to exchange his current trait with.

i.e.: CONMAN, switch for HERMIT, or CONMAN, switch for CHILD, or CONMAN, switch for UNDERGRAD 1/2, or CONMAN, switch for CELEBRITY top/bottom/middle.

TURN THREE:

Asiina questions the CONMAN.

He takes the trait from beneath the CONMAN and switches it with the trait beneath the HERMIT. He views the trait, then places it beneath the CONMAN, exhausting the CONMAN. He unexhausts the UNDERGRAD.

Action Queue: Asiina, place an exile token. Anyone with reaction abilities that take place before or after a token is placed can still react until Asiina places a token or until Meinberg acts, respectively.

CURRENT PLAY SPACE

Turn Order: ~~Chili~~ Max, PBS Newshour, Asiina, Meinberg, MG2, Somberbrero.

Survivors:

UNDERGRAD: (2) Look at both traits. Then, draw one trait from any other survivor (do not look at it) and shuffle them all together. Return two traits to the undergrad and one to the survivor you drew from.
CHILD: (1) After questioning, the child is exhausted until a survivor has been voted out of the bunker.
CONMAN: (1) Switch the conman's trait with any other trait of your choice. Then, view the conman's new trait. EXHAUSTED
HERMIT: (2) You may not look at the hermit's trait card.
CELEBRITY: (3) Draw and look at the top trait, then show it to another player of your choice. Place the viewed trait on the bottom of the stack.
SCIENTIST: (2) Draw and look at one trait. You may not look at the trait card underneath the scientist.

The order is cyclical, meaning the SCIENTIST is also adjacent to the UNDERGRAD.

ACTION HISTORY:

1.1: CHILI questions the CONMAN, switching the CONMAN's trait with the HERMIT's trait before viewing the CONMAN's new trait. The CONMAN is exhausted.
1.2: CHILI places an exile token on the UNDERGRAD.
2.1: PBS NEWSHOUR questions the UNDERGRAD, viewing her two traits before shuffling them with the CHILD's trait, then redistributing them. The CONMAN is unexhausted, the UNDERGRAD is exhausted.
2.2: PBS NEWSHOUR places an exile token on the HERMIT.
3.1: ASIINA questions the CONMAN, switching the CONMAN's trait with the HERMIT's trait before viewing the CONMAN's new trait. The UNDERGRAD is unexhausted, the CONMAN is exhausted.

So I'll put my token on the Hermit then I guess?

# ? Feb 16, 2016 00:00

Max: Nov 30, 2002

What, no! Don't do that. If the conman now has a trait that isn't cult, we know that both the hermit and conman are safe to keep. The hermit should now be the prophet and is next to the celebrity. I'd say get rid of one of the 2 stack survivors. Maybe the scientist?

Asiina's play is accepted as valid. Turn 4 begins with Meinberg, but anyone wishing to use an action that works after exile tokens are played can do so until I process any potential Meinberg actions tomorrow afternoon.

# ? Feb 16, 2016 06:30

Max: Nov 30, 2002

Argh. Either we consolidate votes on the undergrad or the scientist for the next few votes. If the Hermit ends up with too many tokens then we'll lose the prophet, barring someone switching that out again.

Asiina, what's up with the conman. Is he a cultist?

TURN FOUR:

Meinberg questions the CELEBRITY.

He takes the first trait from beneath the CELEBRITY. He views the trait, shows it to PBS Newshour, then places it at the bottom of the CELEBRITY's stack, exhausting the CELEBRITY. He unexhausts the CONMAN.

Action Queue: Meinberg, place an exile token. Anyone with reaction abilities that take place before or after a token is placed can still react until Meinberg places a token or until MG2 acts, respectively.
