[QUOTE=DiggitCamara]  
It was so inside only the joke-maker got it! :smack: 🆒

Actually, just a couple of Days I was afraid I had blown our cover. We (me and **Hal** ) were discussing Masonic win conditions and alignments (should one be recruited). And to strengthen my argument I said something like “this-and-that would be bad _for townies_”. Once I made that post I wanted to erase it immediately.

It seems nobody caught on, however :o 😃

Once, also, you said something to the effect of “I don’t know the alignments of **most** of you,” (bolding mine) which sent me into a minor freakout. 🙂 But no one caught that one!

Ooo, I just came across something from Page 1 of this thread:  
[QUOTE=Blaster Master]  
Hmm… I’d like to play. And if there’s not room, I’d like to be an alternate. **I promise to play nice**.

[QUOTE=Hal Briston]  
Ooo..almost forgot – before this thread fades into the history books, I just wanted to make mention of my favorite “Masonic Inside Joke” moment:

[The evening after we have our first townie swing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8496858&postcount=529) (Bolding not in the original post):  
Aaaand, here’s the relevant portion of the starting PM I received from **Gad** :

_Congratulations, you are a Mason! If you’re ever in any doubt about your role, you just look on the sturdy oak table in the back of the tavern, where the three of you, in a fit of drunkenness, carved the message “DiggitCamara, Millit the Frail, and Hal Briston: Best Friends 4 Ever” into the wood with a pocketknife._

😃  
[/QUOTE]

Piffle. A REAL secret society would have written the message on the bottom of the table.

Enjoy,  
Steven
