    That's correct; my ability states:
    As a sitting Consul you have Imperium which entails immunity from prosecution thus you may not be exiled at any point.
    Thus, I'm immune to exile and executing me is to remove yet another townie; catch-22, potential waste of a lynch either way, but at least an exile attempt would show that I told the truth and wouldn't just help the mafia on their way to victory.

    I dunno, maybe not being honest about my ability (which was revealed with no actual pressure), keeping schtum in general and not posting would have been a better idea? ¬_¬

    Granted, such a prominent figure is most likely in the game and Secura would have been aware of that and if she is not that person we should have seen a counter-claim.
    How would I have been aware of that? I thought this game was a piece of fiction; if you're actually referring to my knowledge of history, then I'm sorry to inform you that I'm principally a modern-day historian, my speciality being events from 1896 (from the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II) to 1990 (the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany) but I've got rough knowledge from 1400 onwards.

    My knowledge of Ancient Rome (and indeed Greece and Egypt) is limited, in this case to the bare facts of Caesar and the expanding empire, as well as typical Roman living and worship; additionally, considering I learned this stuff back in 1999-2000 (when I was twelve!), it's all but forgotten anyway. It's actually the main reason I wish to teach 14-16 year olds rather than younger age-groups; I won't have to brush up on my 'ancient world' knowledge because much of the GCSE syllabus studies Russia, World War 1 & 2, the Weimar Republic and the Cold War.

    As for name-claiming, I believe that it's a moot point; as I stated previously, I don't believe that there are any cover roles in this game because of the very nature of the mechanics. I think that the Cicero-Cataline face-off kinda limits role-revealing as you'd be painting yourself as a target if you were one of the more important roles.

    Imagine if you were one of the two main Cicero followers (thus, town-aligned) and you revealed yourself in-thread after being pressed by the other players; you're then ensuring that you die the following night and render the reveal to be pointless.

    I think Blackadder counted on this sense of restraint in role-reveals and thus didn't provide any cover roles in the game; it's entirely up to you and everyone else whether or not you believe that my role as Hybrida is fake, I can't really convince any more than I already have.

    As for the earlier reference to Zelda, how about I refer to Inavi; where my name was mentioned as a lynch target, I did everything as I have here to defend myself and was lynched for it... only to be proven as an innocent?

    Imo the best thing you can do is to wait for csargo to show up and vote for someone. He is bound to know more than the rest. That is if Romanic and Beskar wasn't his guardians. They were close friends of Csargo according to the writeup .
    For what it's worth, I think Secura is telling the truth.
    In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

    I have got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel
