omg stop scaring the children
They need to know the facts. They're not little boys or girls anymore.
omg stop scaring the children
Why am I getting singled out for the Blarg distraction crap when I haven't even voted for him? I mentioned voting for him once, and have admitted that he's not as bad this game. Still not good, but not as bad.
It's his own damn fault. All 3 games(didn't read NX) he's played the same, town or no, and first two games he helped scum more than town. That is a fact. It's too early to tell who he'll help this game but history tends to repeat
That, and the lack of karkadorian math making one stray vote in a lylo a game over for town
I'll admit that I haven't been paying the closest attention to the game in anticipation of this move of mine.
With that said, I'm getting strong Town vibes from you, Hyper, and Burb.
I'm wary of anybody pushing another player as a "distraction" that has to be lynched. It's a convenient excuse for scum to hide behind, as GAFia history has shown. Flame and LoC stick out as examples, but there have been others. You're stronger than that, Hogwarts.
I'm not sure exactly what Retroid is playing at, but his intentions seem pure enough.
What strange branch of magic be that?
Beware the crazy girl claiming Serious.
Omg, first Giant Squid, now Blarg is claiming Sirius Black?!
To be fair, he subbed in in election and it was the other two town getting caught in his reputation despite him being overall serious that lost the game.
That, and the lack of karkadorian math making one stray vote in a lylo a game over for town
but, like, keep thinking I'm Lupin or Serious or whatever
by all means
pls
As for the allegations that your our big giant tentacled friend in the lake?
01 [m] Retroid - New - Town. Is willing to make his point known and defend it. Unlikely to be Scum due to how active he is.
02 [m] MagnumBoy20xx - New - Unsure. Not very committal and sits in the middle of topics with room to back down if pressured.
03 [m] Kawl_USC - New - Probably Town. Good ideas and explains himself fully.
04 [m] Rynam - New - Unsure. Scum? VERY quiet, might just be new player syndrome.
05 [m] TheExodu5 - New - Town? Is unsure of what to do as it is his first game but participates a lot.
06 [f] Swamped - VERY quiet, more so than normal. No hard stances, acting a lot in the background. Her big play was her Dumbledore Army which fell away pretty fast. Go with my gut; NEVER trust Swamped. Scum?
07 [m] Arkos - Unknown. No read.
08 [f] bananaspaceprincess - Unknown. No read.
09 [m] TheWorthyEdge - Got banned. Unknown.
10 [m] Gorlak - VERY aggressive towards Crab and then...nothing. Connected to Crab somehow?
11 [m] Hyperactivity - A level head and can figure things out, willing to take stances. Town.
12 [m] Flame_AC - Tunneling Townie? Good ideas but is stuck on a Burb lynch because he believes Town is too inept to stop talking about him. Doubtful he is Scum because of how active he is.
13 [-] Enker - Uknown. No read.
14 [m] TheAwesomePossum - Unknown. No Read.
15 [m] Burbeting - Miller - Claims Miller at the start and asks to be lynched or at least to be clear. Due to how early the claim is and how forthcoming he is I believe him. If he is not Town then a Neutral Tanner.
16 [m] Matt Attack - Town? Quiet but its how he plays.
17 [m] Rats Off To Ya - unknown anti-town PR - Quiet and then claims a Town PR than can become detrimental to Town if he is left alive. Asks to be lynched. Town unless he is another Neutral.
18 [m] Crab - Banned again, lol.
19 [m] kingkitty - Something is bothering me here and I cant place it. Quiet, noncommittal, and generally feels off.
20 [m] Blargonaut - What?
21 [m] Kalor - Hard to tell.
22 [m] TheGoddamn - Only posted like once???
23 [m] Lord of Castamere - Also strange but I can't really place it. Unsure.
24 [m] Christina Mackenzie - Town? Can never quite read him but no scum vibes.
25 [m] Lone_Prodigy - Town? No scum vibes really.
26 [m] roytheone - Something is wrong, just like Swamped. Quiet, noncommittal, is not taking an active stance or fight. VERY unlike GAFia Town Roy. Scum?
27 [m] Zippedpinhead - STILL cant read you
28 [f] Sawneeks -
It's the half-assed reads list of the Day! I'm too lazy to go reread the whole Day so this is all off the top of my head and it's probably far from accurate but eh whatever.
Vote: Rats Off To Ya
And I'm gone, have fun guys~!
15 for majority, right?
I'd like to advise against activity and inactivity forming the base for town and scum reads. For now, people who we don't have a read on are often the best options to pressure, and its true that high activity scum will sooner or later trip over themselves, but it shouldn't form the full breadth when it comes to reading other players
I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier.
Don't lynch Rats.
28 person game and he wants to be lynched Day 1? Adamant that if he claims we STILL lynch him? Does he have that little faith in us? Is his role THAT detrimental to the town? Cthulhu, town lost doctor and cop early, still won. NX, cop and jailer died first day, and town almost won. We lose a PR, that will suck. But we have numbers, and if Rats stays, as a strong town player, we can use him, even if he's inadvertently killing PR's left and right.
Unless he can be converted to a Death Eater, in which case lynch away.
No one would bow out so easily just to save a townie or two. The other alternative I can think of (besides lynch bomb but that's a survival tactic) is that he WANTS to be killed/lynched so that he can come back stronger. You know, kind of like how Voldemort was "killed", but just lost his physical form so he could go around possessing people and wreaking havoc. Yes, don't look at flavour, yada yada.
So yeah, don't lynch Rats. Heck, I'd prefer a no lynch instead.
Here:Wait whaaaat? I totally missed this, can you find the post?
and his explanation:We kind of had a situation like this in Cthulhu where we kind of had to choose to let a player win so that we could get a benefit as a result. We let someone else win early in the game and still had fun, so if Burb wants to get lynched, which has very rarely, if at all happened in our games here, then it would be okay if he wins.
That was me, it happened in Cthulhu and we had to make a choice. We could gain a benefit to the town, but a 3rd party would have to win. We took that choice, it was against Blarg actually, and it worked out in our favor. If Burb is somehow a neutral whose job it is to get lynched, I'm pretty sure it would be the first time that happened in a GAF game and it would be a very controversial and unpopular role, I think. If Burb is that role, then fine, let him win and he can get out of the game as a winner, and we don't have to focus on him in our future discussions.
I'm going to bed and won't be up until after the deadline, so this is my last post.
I am off to sleep, by the time I am back I want one of you guys dead or pardoned.
"It is not about magic, it is about how many wallets you can steal."
Eh, wasn't your plan, was it? Sorry Retroid.TheExodu5:
post 158[/URL] and 263 he says he believes Burb, and yesterday he claimed. I don't know if this is good/bad/intended but we have to keep in mind this will happen if we follow through his plan.
.
What if he can't be lynched? (I know this is unlikely, but maybe?) I find it hard that "copycat" and "5-shot lightning rod" are convenient and fine claims that people believed in the past, but now it's impossible this lynch could be bad?Being a role that "powers up" after being "lynched" is also a long shot, since if we lynch him and he doesn't die, that would put a ridiculous amount of suspicion on him during D2 and he will probably be lynched again, this time for real.
You agree that Rats does not act in favour of town by withholding his info, yet you believe him? I won't vote for him, he did not speak the full truth.The only thing that does strike me as weird is his complete unwillingness to share his power with us. (...) And playing to make a game "exciting" is not a smart thing to do IMO, especially if that hurts your own team.

Honestly I don't want to be the one arguing against a Rats vote, but somebody has to offer a different viewpoint. It feels like it was too easy for him to get everyone behind him.
(...)
It basically boils down to me thinking some type of Obi wan role of "if you strike me down, I'll become more powerful than you can ever imagine" is not likely enough for me to pick a random/less favorable lynch target than Rats.
It seems kind of unfortunate to have a role that makes you think your best play is to get lynched the first day, so I won't begrudge some selfish play in order to get some satisfaction out of this game if that is the case.
A role whos best case scenario in terms of gaining power/impact is to immediately get lynched leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The annoying thing with this situation is that whatever we decide to do, we are taking a risk. If we decide to lynch him, we are taking the risk he is some kind of weird scum/neutral PR that benefits from being lynched. If we don't, we risk that he was speaking the truth and we have a random killer during the night which will cause a lot of problems. The way I see it, it is more likely he is speaking (at least partially) the truth about his role, and I see a random killer being active during the night as the bigger danger for town, so lynching him is the smaller risk of the two.
You're argument is valid. I'm probably biased because I had a whole ghost town following my trail in a previous game. Before this game I didn't care about the dead, in MGS I learned to fear them. Nothing is impossible.
All of your arguments make sense, and I think it's basically Rats not telling everything he knows, which causes me to not vote him. But I won't continue to speak against a Rats lynch.
Nah, if he is town and a good player, he would not withhold any info for his selfish amusement. He'll get enough "shit&giggles" out of the dead thread because over there they like to make fun of us. I don't think it was for his own enjoyment.
Yes, it doesn't feel good, but it could be... but I don't think this speculation will help us anymore. I've made up my mind and everybody else should do it before we hit the 1 hour mark. Otherwise it will be chaos, roleclaiming and random bandwaggoning all over again.

My personal view is that Salva and Nin are Fred and George Weasley, per the avatar duplication. This would mean that Ron and Hermione are in the game.
That said, I would have thought before the game began that Voldemort would be bulletproof until we killed Harry, who would have some kind of I live twice syndrome per the books. (More than one Horcrux would be overkill). After seeing the flavor text, I have no clue.
Might be overthinking it though, but is it logical to have a HP game without Voldemort or Harry?
Will be back on much later tonight.
Okay, so, going out on a limb here and saying Burb is telling the truth about his claim I want to know why those who have votes on him right now think he is a choice lynch candidate. Snape being a Miller makes a good amount of sense ( almost too much sense.. ) but I don't see any real reason as to why Scum would fake a claim like this, especially this early.

:') A boy after my own heart...truly makes me happy. I toyed with the idea of doing that again this game, but I think that's what got me lynched D1 in MGS XD
But whatever, yolo, now that I have a better sense of most of the players, I think I can do this again.
WELCOME TO THE D1 CIRCLE OF TRUST
We are Dumbledore's Army. We study Defence against the Dark Arts even in the toughest of times. Our goal is to find and eliminate the Death Eaters, servants of He-Who-Must-Not-Be...No, I'm not scared. We want to destory Lord Voldemort.
More information:
1. You don't have to accept. Just because I trust you doesn't mean you have to trust me.
2. This only lasts for D1. So if I find you scummy on D2, I will vote without hesitation
3. We may have differing views right now, but that's not a bad thing. That's an asset.
4. For those of you with a more conventional mindset, I suppose you could think of this list as a 'Top Town' list...but you'd be missing out.
DA MEMBERS
1. CM
2. Kawl
3. BSP
4. Burb
5. Roy
6. Rynam
7. Gorlak
8. TheExodu5
Come on, let's practice our Patronus spells.
Here is my list of Top Death Eaters so far (this truly will be hilariously bad when we go back to this later lol):
I agree that guessing some characters alignments might not be the best idea. voldy, bellatrix, etc are obvious scum, but the Malfoys or snape could be far more confusing
hell, snape could be a neutral like ocelot in mgs
Good morning

Maybe Harry is 1 shot bullet proof because he's aand also maybe he can only be killed by Voldy and vice versa. But either way as much fun as it is to try and figure out the roles and mechanics of the game I think hyper is right. At this point it won't get us anywhere.horcrux
Since my role from my last game forbade me to vote I am keen to finally use this "power"!! I am pro D1 lynch but at this point I don't have a clue and I will keep it for a little longer.
I don't want to vote for Burb because I generally believe his claim but he is the only thing we have right now... ok besides Blarg but I don't think I'm smart enough to solve his riddle
So...some of the more obvious roles.
Harry...avoids one assassination attempt?
Voldemort...unsure
Peter Pettigrew...maybe gives information to Voldy? Or maybe something happens if townies find him out
Lupin...must kill every now and then
Draco Malfoy...town aligned
Lucius Malfoy...death eater
Ron...town
Hermione...town
Dumbledore...town
Sorting hat...sherif?
It's been a while since I've read HP. Just brainstorming.
Harry only being able to kill Voldemort and vice versa would seem like appropriate flavor for this game. Probably not lynch proof though.
Ah yes... the infamous Blargnaut... does he ever stop posting in riddles cause it's going to get really annoying later in the game.

If this game were an 11 you may have something. Danganronpa was a 9 so I'm guessing we could potentially see abilities to recruit like Cthulhu, vigilantes orneutrals in here.scum of the earth, lower than dirt

Woohoo!!! Member #1!!!
As before I'm for no lynching D1 as every mislynch we make means one phase less we have to find the Death Eaters. Right now, I don't see a lot for us to go on, no one feels strongly scummy to me. If there is a compelling reason to vote for someone I'm open to changing my stance.
I've said that it might be best to kill Burbeting in the future, if not today. But I honestly have no problem if today is the day that we tie heavy bricks to Burbeting's body and throw him into the deep end of the Hogwarts pool.
I do feel a tinge of doubt. As I've said earlier, there hasn't been a counter-claim. Although someone mentioned that mafia might have gotten a list of safe claims that they could have used. If Burbeting turns out to be Snape (and a miller), then that might help feed my gut belief that major characters from the book ARE in this game (Harry, Voldemort, Mr. Tibbles).
More importantly, there's always the small, small chance that Burbeting is in fact mafia, and created this bold claim. At least for me, with him sticking around, there will always be that slight doubt in my head about his true self. I don't know, there could be worse Day 1 lynches.
alright I'm going to be busy watching a boring debate, so I'll just
vote: hyperactivity
this is temporary until I pick someone to skin tomorrow. Unless in the next few hours you end up roleclaiming Voldemort.

Are you saying that you're voting LoC because you think he's voldemort, or is this just a standard avatar quote response?
