MODS: Can you give us an indicator of exactly when the game will start? Can we set a specific time, so that everyone knows when things are kicking off and no advantage accrues to those who just happen to be online at the outset?

Sounds confusing. I think I'll try being a clan of one (until someone makes it easy and just invites me into theirs, heh).
Also, wouldn't it be more beneficial to wait until we get our roles to makes clans? That way players can see if any sort of powers would be more (or less) useful for the clan as a whole.

Don't form clans until Day One has started. story, that's a good point. I'll bring it up with the others and get a firm schedule ASAP. I'm really very sorry about the delay. I've been away from home for the past week at a conference and I've had very little time to be online. The timing was bad.

Clan 2 is my primary clan, mods. Also, I know that zuma is just messing around here, but I'd like to take the opportunity to stress that forming a clan and setting your Primary Clan must be done through PMs to the author account, not by posting in the main thread. This is to give people the ability to lie about what clans they've joined and what clan is their Primary. Also, you may not CC any other players on such PMs, again to provide cover to those who may wish to lie.

Do dead players count toward a clan's 4-player limit?
The rules seem to indicate they do, since dead players still stay in their clans. However, if that's the case, it's disadvantageous to form a clan before the game is down to about 8 players, since you'll otherwise risk burdening your clan with dead players.
On the other hand, if dead players don't count toward the clan's player limit, then it makes more sense to form a clan early. Of course, it's still probably better to form the real towards the end, once we all have more information.

MODS: Can you give us an indicator of exactly when the game will start? Can we set a specific time, so that everyone knows when things are kicking off and no advantage accrues to those who just happen to be online at the outset? OK, we have a firm schedule. Night Zero will start Tuesday at approximated 8PM EDT. At that time Role PMs will go out. We'll give everybody one day to confirm that they're received their PM, and expect to start Day One Wednesday at 8PM EDT. Days One and Two are going to run longer than normal to allow the game to align to the schedule we want. Day One will run a full 7 days and will end Wednesday, May 26 at 8PM EDT. All Day actions will be due Tuesday, May 26 at 8PM EDT unless your role PM says otherwise. Night One will run the normal 3 days, from Wednesday, May 26 at 8PM EDT until Saturday, May 22 at 8PM EDT. All Night actions will be due Friday, May 21 at 8PM unless the Authors tell you differently. Day Two will run 5 days and will end Thursday, June 3 at 8PM EDT. Again, Day actions will be due 24 hours before the deadline unless you are told differently. From that point on, Nights will run from Thursday at 8PM EDT until Sunday at 8PM. Days will run from Sunday at 8PM EDT until Thursday at 8PM. Day actions will be due 24 hours before Dusk. Night actions will be due 24 hours before Dawn. Primary clan nominations, votes and joining of clans are not considered Day or Night actions, and are not subject to the 24 hour deadlines. Thank you for your patience, and have fun!

Sweet, I'm glad this is getting started. I'd forgotten about the game and just randomly was wondering why there wasn't a game going on SDMB and I remembered I was signed up here.
So tomorrow night is when we get to vote off Peeker I'm stoked that it's that time again.

i realize i am not the sharpest push pin in the cork board so i have to ask
mod question: so i can join any number of clans of whom i will know who the members are. and i don't have to let anyone else know who my primary clan is. and i assume that i can converse with my primary (and any other clans that i am a member of) about who the members of other clans are. do you anticipate a whole shitload of interesting pms to be received during this game?
better get bigger mailboxes, everyone.

If you want to join vast numbers of clans, knock yourself out. and i don't have to let anyone else know who my primary clan is. Nothing forces you to reveal your primary clan. and i assume that i can converse with my primary (and any other clans that i am a member of) about who the members of other clans are. You can converse with whoever you like, and say whatever seems good to you to say at the time. The only rule is that you must copy the Authors in on that communication, using one of the means provided. do you anticipate a whole shitload of interesting pms to be received during this game? This may provide a means to find out just how big the Proboards PM box actually is...

While you are alive, you can say whatever you like about clan memberships and primary clan nominations. When you die, your nominated primary clan will form part of the death reveal.

However, if that's the case, it's disadvantageous to form a clan before the game is down to about 8 players, since you'll otherwise risk burdening your clan with dead players. On the other hand, if dead players don't count toward the clan's player limit, then it makes more sense to form a clan early. Of course, it's still probably better to form the real towards the end, once we all have more information. Well, the original plan way back in the day when I conceived of this was that you had to be alive to win. Eventually it was determined that this was a bit too harsh, particularly if someone had a strategic reason to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the clan. Now since there is no limit to the number of clans you can form, should someone die, you could always form a new clan minus the dead person (you jerk! ;-) ). And you can nominate any clan as your primary clan, so it's up to you how nice you want to be to the dead people. But if you don't ever form a clan or nominate a primary clan, you pretty much can't win the game. Which means if you die clanless, well you're pretty much screwed. So it is to your advantage to clan early. As far as clanning often, well, that's a tradeoff between increasing your chances of being in a winning clan and risking your clanmates from turning on you due to your divided loyalties. Essentially this is Lord of the Flies meets Diplomacy meets Mafia powers. Dying early will be worse than dying later. So you want to stay alive as long as possible, and how long you can stay alive is largely based on how well you convince others you're useful to them rather a threat.
