Side note: The Muse can never go insane since they can never read the book. Therefore the can never be removed from the game unless Hagrid (that is better name ) decides to murder them but I don't think Hagrid has a reason to. Am I missing something? Any reason why the muse can not reveal themselves today?
Hagrid literally can't murder the Muse.
One reason the Muse wants to stay hidden is that if she is exposed publicly, then every sane and/or insane student could woo her at night, giving her way too many lovers to deal with.
Also, it seems that an insane thwarted lover can also woo her again and force her to ditch them again? not sure about that one though.

I dont think that makes sense.
If the muse reveals themselves we ate netter off on deciding on one person to woo her.
If every student woos her than its a given that 4 of them will be eliminated by her.

The Muse doesn't eliminate anyone. She just drives them insane, leaving them insane and inspired, i.e. the same state as if they simply read the play.

Still not sure how a Muse wins this, though. Students can all go the book route, hoping to make it to the end and hog a greater share of glory for themselves.

Yeah, the Muse has to get her excess lovers murdered or committed. That seems like hard work.
Hmmm..
It sounds like ot will be SUPER hard for the muse to win.
I thought that when she drove someone insane they were eliminated.
Now, I don't see how she can win if she has 2 or more lovers.
Say she has 2 lovers and drives lover 2 insane. Hildy doesn't actually want to murder anyone who is insan.
Other than that the insane person has to also have a book at the exact same time as we lynch the person. Sounds like too many stars need to align exactly and at a specific time in order for her to win.
On Place de la Concorde, citizens from all backgrounds and viewpoints have converged to debate the growing influence of The King in Yellow. Some profess to have read it and spew wild ideas of humanity’s potential, others decry it as dangerous heresy and call for its complete destruction. After a while, authorities disperse the crowd, but only after they make a few arrests and interrogations, trying to find new information on where copies may be found.
Regrettably, the Police only turn up old rumors concerning Holman’s collection of literature. Reluctantly, they once more ring the doorbell to Holman’s home. Reassuringly, Holman treats the invaders to a nice cup of tea while they half-heartedly check all nooks and crannies of Holman’s study.
Rejected of any success, they leave Holman in peace after a few hours of dreary investigation and return from whence they came.
Art Student without the Play: Will you Steal, Seduce or do nothing?
Sane Art Student with the Play: Will you Read or Destroy the Play?
Insane Art Student with the Play: Who will receive a new Copy of the Play?
Muse: Will you Write someone or not?
Muse with at least two Lovers: Will you drive a Lover insane or not?
Alienist: Will you Analyze someone or not?
Hildred Castaigne: Will you Copy the Play to someone, Murder someone or do nothing?
But you've seen who's in heaven
Is there anyone in hell?
"Lagom you are a smooth tongued devil, and an opportunistic monster" - OOWW Game Club
Absinthe, or “The Green Fairy” as it is known to its devotees, is merely a sweet fennel- and anise-flavored liquor – but it is also a subject of fierce controversy and many want it banned from public consumption. Why is it that so many bohemian Poseurs gravitate towards this beverage in particular? What lies behind the stories of rabid inspiration and spouts of hallucination? A chemical reaction – or something more insidious?
Lately, crates of absinthe have gone missing from suppliers and purveyors alike. Some blame foul play on behalf of the Gendarmerie – some are rumored to use their newfound powers of arbitrary home searches to further their own prosperity – others suggest more occult, secluded motivations.
Or perhaps, just perhaps, an increasing amount of Parisians, many of artistic bent, find the idea of an early death in the Fairy’s warm embrace a pleasant alternative to the horrible prospect of what their life is destined to become.
Be that as it may, this morning a few rows of absinthe crates were recovered from a cellar at Rue Moliere. Its owner was found throttled, drowned in a vat filled to the brim with the green liquid. An unsuccessful young Realist painter, penniless and estranged by his family, the victim will be mourned by no one. Inspectors carry out some inquiries but soon conclude that the anonymous art student probably was an unlucky victim of common burglary.
Moliere the Art Student has been Murdered!
It is Day.
Three Sane Art Students remain!
Two Copies of the Play are currently in circulation!
Before the game can proceed into Night, a voting majority to Search a player’s home must be reached. Voting is done with the “accuse” tags.

What the heck happened here? Moliere was murdered and now we have one less play? Did Hagrid killed one of his own insane art students? So this means we have one insane art student and three sane art students? Did the muse already betray one of her art students? Probably not. More like someone got a book and read it.
Holman, are you still a safe candidate for a home search (promise to not take your porn and tea)?
Hmm.. so we only know a persons role when killed not anything else.
Does hadrig get the dead players full status after they kill someone?
If not, rhen it seems like he is randomly killing people with no real reason to do so as he might accidentally kill 9ff an insane student and the more students tha5 are alive, the better off he is.
Does hadgrig actually get any advantage by killing off random players

As I understand the rules, the only way for a player to leave the game is if they are (during the day) Committed via lynch (which requires both a play and insanity) or (at night) analyzed by the Analyst (requires insanity) or killed by Hildred (anyone but the Muse).
Neither Hildred nor the Muse can be eliminated from the game, but they only win in partnership with surviving Artists.
Lagom's game reports specify whether a player was committed (either via day lynch or Alienist night scan) or murdered (during the night).
So Moliere's death was clearly a murder by Hildred. But Hildred has no special scanning knowledge, so why did he choose Moliere?
Our focus on Yours Truly has confirmed (more than once) that I am not the (insane) Alienist.
But whom should we be choosing for the daily lynch? Ideally we'd like to identify the Alienist so that Hildred can murder him, but each day that passes increases the number of Artists who've had a chance to read the play and get Inspired (their winning condition) but also Insane (c'est la vie).
Here's a thought. The Alienist (who is Insane) can be given copies of the play. If he has them during the day, he can be Committed, right?

I don't think this is accurate. You would only read as sane or insane IF you also had a book diring a day search.
So if you were insane, either by the muse as a second lover or you had read the book and then destroyed it, youd be safe from day lynchs.
I think the only thing confirmed is that you dont have the book.
I really tjink tjis game boils done to 1 vs all.
Alienist vs everyone else. If Alienist is killed or committed then EVERYONE else can win.

Dang it. I keep forgetting rules. You are right.
Given that dynamic, I'm kind of surprised that no one has thrown a book at me by now. I don't have one.
