Well Ruse, how does your ability work?
You obviously don't put someone in zero-tau, which is what hit Liosan. You said this yourself, your ability is distinctly different.
So, please give us a bit more of a description of the mechanics, in as far as you are allowed.
Zero-tau guards someone for a lot of time, preventing them from speaking, if we can believe Liosan, and when he said what he said, I can confirm that he was still sane and on our side.
So, is your ability 'touch and go'? No other effects on your target? If so, you're far more powerful than the zero-tau is, in my humble opinion. Since you seemingly can dispossess one target a night, is there a max number of changes? What happens to the depossessed? Are any abilities returned? What becomes their alignment? Does it only work on townies, or also on Ivets and cultists, or did you receive no info on that?
For now, I am inclined to believe you. And if your reveal hadn't come, I'd have voted for you. You were my main target for today, so I am at a bit of a loss now.
I do not believe however that Galayn Lord is pressing for your lynch because he is a cultist (he might well be, though).
Let's analyze that part. What would he have gained by it?
The only thing he had to win by not removing Meanas would be to keep the guard focused on Meanas.
Is that such a big advantage? No.
The guard would have been in the dark of who to target next anyway if Meanas was lynched, and not lynching Meanas might mean lynching a cultist instead.
Since cult might also accidentally recruit the guard, Meanas would then have been freed, possibly killing a townie, possibly killing a possessed, possibly killing a cultist (including the recruiter). So, only if the recruiter knew who the guard is/was, and would avoid recruiting him, would keeping Meanas alive help him (or recruiting him on a night where Meanas would be vigged, since guard comes before recruit and kills).
Now, what to deduct from your reveal and previous reveals:
I'm town, Liosan is town, you are town.
Telas at the least started as town (he was my suspect nr 2 for cult leader).
Korv: I don't think he started out as a recruiter, might be a recruit, though.
I think we need to search for those who really, really wanted to off the Ivets first.
For me, 2 people stand out.
HP, because he was adamant that the guard should stay on Meanas and wanted Meanas dead (although he DID produce a list of possible culted people even when we were in the process of debating lynching Meanas), and Galain.
Galain has been singlemindedly hunting Ivets.
Recently, he questioned Liosan's stasis quite a bit (must be a nasty shock to a cult leader, being locked up in stasis, possibly locking out abilities, seeing how Liosan is without them, we have no proof whether it does or does not).
He questioned the lover reveal when it made it in fact easier to identify a culted me. Now, not to increase my own importance, but suppose Liosan would have revealed due to the sudden disappearance of contact between us, and I would have denied he is my partner, saying my partner had died days before, or accused him of being the culted one, who would you lynch first?
It would be a risky play, probably not even the best one, but its pay off could well be an inno lynched, which is what cult will require.
More, I checked out his profile and last 4 posts and there, he is talking about hunting
possessed, not about hunting cult, when all of us fear the worst case scenario that out of the 11 people that remain, 6 are town/possessed and 5 are cult and that cult wins if we lynch wrongly tonight.
Besides that, he has managed to be entirely above suspicion aside from my attack on him (I felt he did turn a lot then, as if he had things to hide). He is vocal, never really associated himself with others. Hasn't been symped all that much, and there's not a case on him since day 2.
Due to that, he is the perfect leader to follow for a bunch of recruits who learn his identity and look for clues on who else is recruited, and who to lynch (and before this post, he was nr 3 on the list of people I wouldn't mind lynching, anyway).
vote Galain.
EDIT: I mention 11 people somewhere in this list: should be 10. So the worst town (incl. possessed) vs. cult balance is 5-5, not 6-5!

) . So I'm still a bit iffy about him and wouldn't be adverse to lynching him to remove the possibility of his being possessed .
