Congrats Z! Babies are great. And listen to Total, make danger your kid's middle name. My wife talked me out of it at the last minute, and now our kid has the middle name of Nancy. Sure, it's her dead grandmother's name, but it isn't half as cool as Danger.

I understand my not being in your primary clan meaning you are happy with my lynch, but the other clans you are a member of apart from the primary are a road block in the way to your winning the game yes?

I only joined one clan myself you miss the point. this is an odd game. typically you have an alignment and that is yours till the cows come home. this puppy is, i think, going to have shifting alignments as developments occur. the fact that you were not in my clan kind of sucks for you. but i also anticpate that the folks you thought were freindly may not be so much so after the game continues to progress. that's all i was trying to convey luv.

I know, the point I am making is the only people you can trust are primary members of your primary clan. The rest are essentially the same as people you are not clanned with at all, or maybe I am missing something.

I now quote my sig line from the dope:
"It's the -iel ending, it just screams 'girl' to some people. You could change your handle to 'Dude McHugeCockiel' and people would still refer to you as 'she'." - one of my gaming buddies
Also, thanks to all for the well wishes. We had a few early scares (and we're historically prone to miscarriages), but we just had a bunch of the checkups at 12 weeks and it's spreading the news time. ;D

The rest are essentially the same as people you are not clanned with at all, or maybe I am missing something. I am fairly certain that no one but you knows which clan is your primary until you are dead. That alone makes within-clan trust problematic. However, if for example I am a member of six different clans, all they will know for sure is that in the daily roster, the number of people in the clan (which they know privately) and the number who have it as primary (which is public) are not the same.

There's not been too much discussion toDay about what possible roles there might be out there.... I guess this is due to it not being normal Mafia so normal balancing might not apply. To me it's plausable that everyone may have given some form of power. It's also plausable that these powers may have slight twists in order to avoid a Clan just ending up with say... 4 straight roleblock powers.. which could happen if indeed there are that many in the game...
I'll leave my vote where it is rather than move to LUVBWFC just for the sake of it. I am not sure that they are HOC but I am sure that they aren't in any clans that I might be a member of and as they have stated that they have a "killing" ability they can use should they survive and also get a successful investigation... I need them dead for me to stand any chance of winning this game.
Interesting how SPECIAL ED stated that he wouldn't be joining or asking to join clans that might include players that had claimed/posted their roles... then he himself goes and puts a claim out there that is "the one" who can detect a lie.... I get his point about the handshaking element being lost and maybe now that has gone he felt he had now't to lose by his claim.
SPECIAL ED would you care to elaborate more on how this power works? I assume it was a Day power but was unaware that the Mods would be giving answers to Day powers during the Day itself rather than waiting until Dusk/Night.

I'm pretty sure I know peeks' answer, "same as breathing". Congrats on the little Zerling* and another vote for Danger. Do it while Mom's distracted. It's the only way. *note the -ling ending is appropriate for any sex.

Probably for the best. I'm off to Turkey a week tomorrow. Have fun with this all. On the strength of this game alone I have ordered Gardens of The moon and Deadhouse gates off ebay. I might even be able to understand the game colour when I return!

As to my power resolving already, yes, my request is due at the 24 hour deadline, at which, I get my result. Some in a clan with me might understand that's why I didn't expect that my power could be blocked. I would assume other investigative powers work this way, maybe not. I would also assume the same is true for those who have Night powers.

It's getting to be that time folks, the Day is just about over. Time to square away the last minute administrative stuff.
If you haven't heard from me with a clan confirmation, and you think you are in a clan, one of us has done something wrong. If you think you joined a clan in the last 48 hours or so it probably means I missed sending you your confirmations because I have been busy. If you joined a clan before then and you haven't heard from me...you screwed something up.
So, if you have not received your clan confirmation PM send me a PM and let me know. I will tell you if it was you or me who messed up and what can be done to fix things.:highlighted:

Okay. Just caught up with the thread. Thankfully most of the posts since I got the Plague were people saying what I'm about to say about myself now... "I am neither the Master of the Deck of Dragons nor am I a member of the House of Chains." Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm wondering if my PMs are working, as I haven't gotten one since before last weekend, and I was in the middle of some discussions with others at the time that seem to have dropped off the face of the planet. This strikes me as a very subtle, yet clever way of getting by saying the statement. With quotation marks around it, it change the meaning. Suppose someone in this game really does have the power to tell if someone is telling the truth or not. The way you phrased it, it is already true. You said it basically like this: A lot of people in this thread has said "I am neither the Master of the Deck of Dragons nor am I a member of the House of Chains" That statement is, of course, true. See how it takes on a different meaning with the quote marks? So I'd like to see you say/post it without the quotation marks.

I am not seeing anyone jumping out at me... so I am not throw a vote on anyone today. I could pile on a vote onto someone just for the sake of it, but I don't see much point to that.

Same with you, BillMc... I mean, if we're all going to do this, then we should all do it right, with no chance of loopholes. Quote marks make it look too much like you're just trying to say "You told me to say "this"", which is true, in essence.
Maybe a small nit to pick, but could be extremely relevant.
