This fails.

To "incarnate" is to flip one's Vitality to Invulnerable. A ghostly player
CAN
incarnate by announcement, provided there are only Invulnerable or Ghostly
players.

As I was alive at the time, there are not only Invulnerable or Ghostly
players, so you can't incarnate.

In my defense, I have not read the rules, and snail was the only one who
asked. I figured it could not hurt because j don't know how to bang

Now I'm trying to figure out how you could afford to bribe so many
people (particularly along the lines of "are these bribes large, in
which case you might not be able to pay for them, or small, in which
case how did you persuade people to accept them?"). I think it's
possible that there is some sort of win-trading going on (i.e. you
bribed the players by planning to support future wins).

In any case, this has demonstrated that a 1 Bang = 1 elimination ratio
is probably not enough to handle high levels of trading – possibly
players should start with half a Bang rather than a whole one. (Because
the way you eliminate a player is, in effect, to transfer a Bang to
them, there will always be enough to finish the game unless players
start hoarding.)
