About 200 of those are from you. Oh, wow, a whole 215 PMs? Cry me a freaking river. We mods had to deal with something like 2700… ---

Yeah, PMs were a bad idea. Whoever thought of that one should be slapped with a trout. ---

> [@NAF1138](#): > > Yeah, PMs were a bad idea. Whoever thought of that one should be slapped with a trout. actually the pms were the only part that i could keep track of. with all the other off boards going on. trying to remember how to get to them and the changing passwords and the changing memberships were way too much for me. i mean it was typically an hour or so a day just trying to keep track of that shit. i mean that sucker has to set a record for non main thread related interactions. i bet less than 5 percent of what actually went on was in the main thread. ---

[oog]shameless promotion: for the folks who play here you really need to get to **naf** ’s board and giraffe. it’s a different feel in all the places. giraffe is a little more laid back and **naf** ’s board is a little more intense and serious. at least as much that serious can be ascribed to anything i do. or for that matter **meeko** , **ed** , **normal** , **drain** , **natlaw** , **idle** , **naf** , **burby** (had to put that one in there since i don’t want him getting the red ass), **cookies** , **maha** , **mhaye** and a whole host of others.

Good to know. sorry my friend. on the sites where we have avatars i have a semi chance. but on this board the two of you get confused. and for some odd reason on this board i have extreme difficulty keeping **drain** , **normal** and **natlaw** separate. and recently when i read **stanislaus** i think of **chronos** and when it comes to **ed** and **meeko** all i get is blah blah blah. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > > [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > > > Dude, are you **peeker**? > > > > Let me rephrase the question. Why did you try to do what I did and send multiple PMs to **story** to try to steal the book? If you trust **NAF** , which you clearly do or you wouldn’t have outed yourself in such a spectacular fashion, then you also trust what he says about the book. And one of the things he said is that you can’t use your powers while you have the book. You’re an investigator–you should want to stay as far away from the damn thing as possible so you can use your very useful power–but instead you actually tried to nab the book until you heard that I was doing the same thing. It’s the only thing about your claim that doesn’t quite fit with all the rest, so I’m curious what you were thinking and what your reasoning was. > > I tried to take it in the Day to use..not at Night. From **NAF** , quoting his PM from **story** : > [@](#): > > Beginning immediately, and for as long as you hold possession of the Necronomicon, you may take no action other than actions related to the book. While you hold the Book, you will appear to be of evil alignment and your role name will be twisted; all of your actions, no matter how well-intentioned, will appear to be attempts to kill. That, to me, says that if you were successful in retrieving the book, it didn’t matter that you had a Day or Night power–you forfeit your power as long as you have it. So, had you succeeded, you would have been able to use it during the Day, but unless your use was to put it back on the pedestal or pass it to someone else, you would not have been able to use your Night investigation. So had you “used” the book in any meaningful sense, you would have given up your investigative power. ---

Also, while **story** says that each Day and each Night you can use the book, it’s not entirely clear as to whether you can use it the Day or Night that you obtain it. He doesn’t say one way or the other. ---
