1. If multiple scum/vigilante target the full doctor's protectee on the same night, does the protectee survive?
2. There seems to be a number of scenarios in which the last 2 alive will be of different factions (2 different scum groups or a scum and a relevant doctor). Are these considered draws?
Thanks.
Darn you players for being smart! This needs to be ruled on by myself and sachertorte.

Sorry, to be a hassle, but I don't want to accidentally invalidate my power. (If it makes you feel better, I put storyteller through the same questioning in the Bladerunner game.)
If I do invalidate my powers, will it be publicly announced? For example, if I say "I am Zhang Jiao", will the moderator make a public statement concerning the removal of my powers?

storyteller0910 wrote: Hi!
Because I had a restriction against role claiming in my previous game, I had to field a lot of questions about the restriction and when and how it would apply. I have no idea how this is all going to play out, but I think it would be good to ask now:
What, exactly, constitutes a role claim, for the purposes of power loss? For example, what would happen if I said any of the following:
1. I have a name. 2. I have a power. 3. Don't lynch me; you'll regret it, unless you're Wu. 4. If a power role were in my position right now, he or she would be handcuffed by his inability to claim.
Thanks for any clarification you can give. 1. Doesn't count as a claim. 2. Counts as a claim. 3. Counts as a claim. 4. Counts as a claim.

From the Mandate of Heaven, on claiming: 1) Any statement that explicitly or implicitly reveals someone to be other than a peasant (or scum, but no one should be doing that) would result in a loss of power. (Fake claims are still alright.)
2) Loss of power will NOT be publicized until death. Only the claimant would be notified via PM.
Yes, we are bastards. ;D

Death by Irony wrote to RoOsh: "Your Wang Chung post was hilarious and brilliant, but alas it pushed the line a little too far.
In professing your hatred of SHOES, you made your roleclaim obvious. If you had just stuck to FOOTWEAR, the Mandate would have ruled that you just squeaked under the bar.
Thus having offended the gods (despite the great laugh you gave them), your powers are now withdrawn, rendering you to be nothing more than a Peasant. You will, however, still be revealed as having been Wang Chung Zhang Bao.
Wang Chung. Ha."

As far as I can tell, I have two choices; self-protect or protect Roosh in the hopes that he is who he says he is(n't).
I don't doubt that I will be a target on this first Night; I think the scum will target chattier players in this game, and I've definitely been that so far. I've been deliberately trying to be extra chatty, and extra opinionated; I'm sort of hoping the scum will think that I'm scum, and avoid me at Night expecting that they can get me lynched during the Day. But I have no way of knowing if I'm right about that.
On the other hand, if I protect myself, it's only against being targeted by one of the three factions. I expect Roosh will self-protect, so if I protect him myself he has a 66% chance of surviving the Night if Mao makes the right play and takes the Night off. In other words, my protection has a much better chance of working on Roosh than on myself.
On the other hand, the Full Doctor could render this all moot by protecting Roosh him-/herself. But this early in the game, and with so many kills to go around, I doubt the Full Doctor is going to risk his/her own death; he/she will be (and should be) self-protecting.
OK, I've talked myself into it:
Protect Roosh
P.S. I know Roosh might be lying. In fact, I think there's a very good chance that he is. But in the absence of a counterclaim, I have to play as if he's not. Gulp.

He garnered enough suspicion that others would think a rival faction took him out, not necessarily the Vig. Plus I notoriously get killed on night one on this board.
So be it right or wrong, I'm excercising my kill option tonight on piratepete.

I think it only fitting that his particular "death of a thousand knives" somehow involve the vast quantity of keystrokes required to compose one of his mega-posts. That could equal the number of labeled knives waiting for him.
