As Captain, I steal from @Shard of Reading, becuase i swear, everyone else has either a duke or captain.

Ambassadors can block this correct? In that case I block. Otherwise, no.

Edit: No wait, they can't. Go on with your regularly scheduled theft.

Why am I the targeted one? We need to band together and form a truce @Hentient. We can battle to the death at the end.

Yeah, not sure we should have allowed the person clearly bent on revenge to take over another spot, but oh well. Hentient/Ookla and Ghander are clearly the bigger threats, but they just want this 2nd chance to get me back. Haha.  Anyway, I'll just block. Unless he wants to challenge my Contessa. (BTW, if you only have 1 card left and are getting assassinated, you should always claim Contessa. You have nothing to lose. )

@Ookla The Female Chicken Haha, you had me wondering with that name change who in the world you were.  Since you are concerned about this, I can promise right now to take out Somebody from Sel since he's a wildcard at this point. It's in my best interest to remove him anyway.

Can you make a list of cars we know everyone to have, because my captain is feeling very useless right now.

No, because part of the game is keeping track of those yourself.  All that can be listed is what has actually flipped. You have to remember what other people claimed and you have to judge what claims to believe.

Though the fact that there's a thread makes this much easier to do after-the-fact.

Thing is, I think everyone is immune to my stealing, which I was banking on to make sure non of you ever got any money.

Yeah, at this point, most people have either a Captain or Ambassador, so stealing is difficult at this point. That's again why the people with Duke+Captain combos are the biggest threat. They get the nice income and can block people from stealing from them. Duke+Ambassador would be bad as well, but no one seems to have that.

All the dukes are taken, so I can't even successfully lie about it. It will take you ten seconds to realize wait, there's an extra Duke.

@Chasmgoat what happens to dead cards? Are they still in the deck?

Hmm yes, very risky play. You'd have to convince everyone that someone else is faking, which isn't likely.

They are suppose to stay dead outside the deck.
