I don't want to derail anything, but at the same time I don't see any reason to delay this, so I'm going to claim now. I don't think this should really impact how we play out the rest of the Day anyways.
I have been targeted for an alignment change. I have decided not to accept this change, and consequently I will die at the end of the Day. I have made this decision since I am a VT, and I think that publicizing this information and dying gives me a better chance of winning than does changing my alignment.
The alignment change would transfer me to a faction which is not considered an enemy of the Radch. The win condition of this faction is for all enemies of the Radch to be eliminated, and for a certain player (whose identity I do not know) to survive. This unknown player must be the only surviving Anaander Mianaai for this faction to win. I do not know if joining the faction would make me an Anaander Mianaai, or whether multiple Anaander Mianaai of different factions currently exist.
a faction which is not considered an enemy of the Radch
There it is. Right there.
Are you claiming that you targeted hypercube? I'm confused.
No, I was answering Awaclus's question:
What did hypercube claim that confirms that your alignment is strictly pro-town?
So... how does the fact that "the cult leader isnt an enemy of the radch" prove that you're town, other than you claiming to be the cult leader? Let it be known that I think you're town, but this is kinda strange
If I'm not town (I am, but this is a thought experiment) there are 3 options:
1. I'm part of the cult. If true, I have no reason to lie about it since the cult is basically town-aligned. Also, it doesn't matter.
2. I'm part of LaLight's faction, and I'm a brilliant mastermind who decided to bus her partner when there was no wagon on her and very little suspicion on her. jk, that wouldn't make me a brilliant mastermind, that would make me an idiot
3. There's another scum faction which we've hitherto heard nothing about. If this is the case, why have we had at most one kill per night? Is it a scum faction with no night kill?
PPE: The town wins when all enemies of the radch have been eliminated. Ergo, we don't have to eliminate the cult to win. And they want to help us eliminate the enemies of the radch. So why fight them?
