We prove that NP\necoNP and coNP\nsubseteqMA in the number-on-forehead model of multiparty communication complexity for up to k=(1-\epsilon)\log n players, where \epsilon>0 is any constant. Specifically, we construct a function F:(\zoon)^k\to\zoo with co-nondeterministic
complexity O(\log n) and Merlin-Arthur
complexity n^{\Omega(1)}.
The problem was open for k\geq3.
