Uhhw… I’m truly sorry that it turned out this way. I got two radical policys and had no choice.

I’m really sorry it turned out this way too, and I’m sure some of you will lose their trust in me after this round, but what actually happened is that I drew 3 radical policies and didn’t have much of a choice. I’m also sorry for involving @Necem in this and maybe making some of you doubt him too, but he is telling the truth that he was given two radical policies and so am I about recieving 3 radical ones.
Anyhow, at least the radical policies give you some special abilities to use so I want to make things right by seeing to it as to who will be the presidential nominee this round. I will nominate my previous chancellor, Necem as the presidential candidate this round and I trust him to finally finish this game. I also suggest he nominates Aspirety as his chancellor, since he is a trustworthy player, but it’s entirely up to him.
Of course, I may have lied about all of this and am a radical and am nominating Necem after three radical policies were enacted so he might be Oyashiro, so be careful everybody.

Well well, looks like someone’s getting to be presidential candidate twice in a row.
Do not forget; from now on, if Oyashiro is elected chancellor, the radicals win instantly!
Current game status
Radical policies played: 3
Progressive policies played: 4!
Next presidential privilege unlocked by radical policy: Onikakushi
Previous government: Sapphire and Necem
Remaining policies in stock: 6
If Oyashiro is elected chancellor, the radicals win.
Election Phase
@Necem, you are the current presidential candidate, please nominate a chancellor. Do note that Sapphire cannot be nominated as chancellor since she was part of the previous government. Feel free to take your time and discuss the results of the previous government phase with your fellow council members, but once you’ve made up your mind regarding a chancellor, please state their name in bold. We will then start the voting.
Ahh, it’s useless, it’s all useless! I dunno what to believe at this point.

Thank you, but I’m not really sure what I should make out of this. After enacting a radical policy, my trust level (If I even had a good one) goes down dramatically. At least I am glad that you agree to what I said and that you don’t try to push the blame onto me. This radical policy is a really unfortunate outcome. We only need one more progressive policy but it looks like this is going to be way harder than we expected. Also, now there’s a looot of responsibility on my shoulders. I have to avoid nominating oyashiro not once but twice in a row. And at this point I just don’t know what to believe anymore.
To clear this up, that wouldn’t be a smart move, because oyashiro needs to be elected chancellor and not president. So at least the possibility that I am Oyashiro goes down with this.
I really was hoping that you wouldn’t blame me for this and because you didn’t I still have reason to trust you and to believe that this was a mere coincidence. But I understand that, for everyone else, this could also mean that we are both radical and know exactly what we’re doing.
For the next chancellor, my choice goes to Aspirety.
Thanks for your suggestion, that’s what I wanted to do anyway.
Since my last government with him went well in a progressive way, maybe we are able to get the same results again.
And if not… well… I’m really afraid of that.

The game is moving quite fast, but since we have to wait on everyone’s votes anyways now this is a good opportunity for everyone to catch up and digest everything that just happened, and make plans on how to best proceed. You have 48 hours; feel free to take whatever time you need.
Voting Phase
@Yerian@EisenKoubu@Aspirety@Rabla@Pepe@DaBackpack@cjlim2007@Sapphire@Necem
Since our presidential candidate has chosen a chancellor, it’s time for everyone to vote.
President: Necem
Chancellor: Aspirety
Do you trust these two to represent you and the entire village of Hinamizawa and enact a policy on your behalf? Please PM your votes directly to me.
I’d try to say something might be weird here but I kinda want this game to just finish so…
You have quite a bit of a reason to doubt me now, so you may not believe me completely but I chose you as the special candidate precisely so that you would be a presidential candidate two times in a row, and you can control the game in many ways if you hold that position. The best thing that can happen is that you finish the game this round of course, but even if a radical policy gets enacted, you can use the Onikakushi ability, and one of our beloved radicals has already revealed themselves so I may or may not already know who will be demoned away this year. 
But anyhow, like I said earlier, Aspirety is a really good choice and I think everything will go smoothly this time, good luck to you both.
Yes, Aspirety is a great choice! Because he, of all people, is most clearly progressive, RIGHT??? Because, why would I, A RADICAL, be challenging him, toying with him, if he were also a radical, RIGHT??? And Necem is also trustworthy, isnt he! After all, he has done nothing but agree with Aspirety this entire game, RIGHT??? So his one radical policy carries much less blame than mine and DaBackpack’s, RIGHT??? Even though the odds were much more in his favor, RIGHT??? CACKLECACKLECACKLE
If Aspirety wont play with me, then please, anyone, feel free to take a shot at my game! I grow bored of this passive voting and waiting game! ahaha.wav
What game?
I challenged Aspirety to a new game, and since he refused, I will also refuse his game.
Urgh, I apologize for the lateness. I was engaged in a game with the Witch of Networking over the last few days and she only just wrapped it up and allowed me back into the Kazoku Collective.
I find it… incredibly odd that a Radical passing pair would immediately attempt to take control and influence again after doing it, but their stories both match up so it’s possible they’re both unfortunate progressives… or both radicals. And if they were, giving control straight to the other of the pair makes me very suspicious of the idea that Aspirety may be Oyashiro himself.
I know what Yerian’s like. He’s orchestrated a fake disagreement in a previous game. This might just be a new attempt at an old trick.
…however, as I said, I’m very late. I assume everyone’s voted already. So we’ll see how that goes.
The only conclusion I can reach is that they’re either both progressive or both radical. But considering so many people voted YES to Necem as chancellor, it leads me to believe that they may both be extremists after all.
But then, why would Necem nominate me as chancellor? Unless he was Oyashiro. But if he was, then why would Sapphire make him president and not somebody else who could elect him?
It might make sense if we assume Sapphire is an extremist and Necem is Oyashiro, and they’re playing the long game, attempting to pin suspicion on me.
Well now, I’ve been gone for quite a while, and it seems like a lot has happened while I was gone. No matter, let us try to piece together this puzzle.
For starters, Sapphire and Necem initiated a radical policy; I don’t doubt the possibility of drawing three radical policies. I myself stated that it’s a pretty likely possibility. Now then, what does come to doubt is Sapphire voting Necem as the next chancellor.
Sapphire has stated that she trusted Necem to get the job done. But why? What has Necem done to deserve that trust? Sure, he has enacted a progressive policy. So has Aspirety, and so have I. Heck, so has cj! It remains very suspicious that Sapphire would put so much of their trust in Necem.
What comes next, however, is a bit of a pickle. Aspirety has attempted to take a guess at who are actually radicals. It seems to me that he genuinely does not know the alignment of the other players. But that applies not only to progressives; it applies to a certain radical.
So let me lay down a possibility. Aspirety may actually be Oyashiro-sama. His little guessing game may have been a call for other radicals to identify themselves. Perhaps Yerian is one of those who answered the call. Perhaps Necem, who has taken advantage of his role as president, took to nominate aspirety both as a means of identying himself to Oyashiro-sama, and to somehow win the game now that they can. Perhaps sapphire is also an accomplice? Or perhaps they are just innocent, and put too much trust in the wrong person.
For those reasons, I have voted no this round. My thinking might still be a stretch… Perhaps all involved are progressives who, for some reason that still escapes me, are able to trust each other fully. But because they all seem so confident that they are on the same team, it makes me more suspicious towards them.

The vote has concluded! Here are the results:
- @Yerian voted NO
- @EisenKoubu voted YES
- @Aspirety voted YES
- @Rabla voted NO
- @Pepe voted NO
- @DaBackpack voted NO
- @cjlim2007 voted YES
- @Sapphire voted YES
- @Necem voted YES
With 5 votes for and 4 against, the vote just barely goes through!
With that I can make a proclamation: Aspirety is not Oyashiro. The game continues, and now to see; was the distrust towards this government justified… or will the progressives finally win the game?
Government Phase
Our new government has once again the obligation of leading Hinamizawa. Let us pray that their choice is in the best interest of the entire village.
Necem and Aspirety, you two may not post in this topic until the government phase has concluded.

Hmm. Interesting. I guess Pepe’s and my theory that Aspi was Oyashiro is out.
This… doesn’t confirm he’s not a Radical, but it’s something.
So I wonder if Aspi was on to something about Necem, though. We’ll see if Aspi is forced into picking a Radical Policy.
@Yerian@EisenKoubu@Aspirety@Rabla@Pepe@DaBackpack@cjlim2007@Sapphire@Necem
Gather round, members of the council! The government has made their choice, a new policy has been enacted!
“Followers of Oyashiro over the age of 40 are now granted the title of ‘trusted believer’ and are given full authority to spread the belief of Oyashiro among our younger generation, at their own discretion.”
ANOTHER radical policy! This cannot be real!
@Necem, you now have the privilege to make use of Onikakushi, killing off a player for good. It’s a very powerful privilege, so feel free to discuss with your fellow council members who to best use it on. You cannot abstain from using it, you HAVE to kill someone. Once you’ve chosen your target, please state their name in bold. The very moment you do so, they will be treated as out of the game and may no longer post in this topic. If you manage to pick out Oyashiro himself, the progressives win instantly. Otherwise, the game continues and the victim’s alignment will not be revealed.
Welp, in a moment one of us will be removed from the game.
Let it be known that 2 radical polices were passed on to me. I had no choice. I swear that I am a progressive, meaningless as it is to say so.
There can be no doubt that Necem is an extremist, and it’s very likely that Sapphire is as well. It seems my initial judgement on the extremists was indeed very off the mark.
