As I said, I got Roleblocked, supposedly by a Dementor (At least the flavor reads like one). So I saw nothing

Howdy everybody! I can confirm that my vowels have been left unharmed and I was not subjected to any switching (as far as I know). I'm gonna repeat Roy's question for this page because I don't really understand Gorlak's claimed win condition very well.
Also, I'm a little wary to believe a neutral Umbridge could be recruited to the Death Eaters. Leaving aside the fact that from a lore perspective it doesn't make perfect sense, I think it would be weird if there were more than one player scum could recruit (the other being kingkitty, who was technically already scum but couldn't communicate with them).

I need you to fully paraphrase that flavour text for me.
NO ONE DESCRIBE A ROLEBLOCK BEFORE GORLAK DOES OR ELSE I WILL HUNT YOU

So you claim to have tried to Watch me last Night, but you say you were Roleblocked by a Dementor. And you were also Poisoned
Tell me, what does the flavour text for being Poisoned say?

paraphrased, of course
There was no Flavour text for being poisoned. It just says in Red/Highlighted, that I have been poisoned and will die in 2 nights from now.
I'm Sorian. Exactly like Sorian. The little tweek about having to survive should keep me alive longer, but you all doubt it anyway... should have gone with the real thing. Once I punished everyone alive, I'm done and out. This was to disguise the fact that I will at one point leave the game.
I have no idea how to paraphrase this, something like this:
"red flash of light struck me down
my magic stick flew out of my hand
incapable of performing my action"
(which makes no sense if one recalls that punish shouldn't require my wand but a bloodquill, I blame Salva and Nin)
There we have our stupefy victim... didn't Crab target you? #another coincidence
The benefit of keeping my lie to surprise you with my disappearing after I punished everyone alive isn't worth it. Sorry I should've been upfront completely.
I only admit to this because I probably won't achieve it anyway. I know this puts me in a bad light, but I don't have any other choice, I didn't expect it to be highlighted right away.

Why do you still have the ring? What about "I'll help town"? What was your action last night?
Spill the beans, do you think it's fun to keep everyone waiting? If you have my alignment drop the info. If you have ANYTHING useful HELP us. It's so frustrating to play with you.
What are you waiting for?
I am happy to see the thread is now french free.

This thread is sleeping right now... People of Hogwarts who do you deem suspicious? I'm neutral and will be talked about today, but scum will easily use this opportunity to hide themselves. I tell you we have to look for scum! Give your oppinion on the current matters!
Who thinks LoC is free of suspicion? Is he cleared because of Crab or does it only confirm he doesn't have a horcrux? What do you think?
TheWorthyEdge didn't give Blarg the ring, even though he pledged to help town and he isn't affected by switchers. So why did you not help TWE?
We are still waiting for information, but this shouldn't hold us from going after people. I for one feel confident on voting L_P, nobody claimed being targeted by Dementors N2, I think it is his passive ability. He does give me a general vibe of scumminess. All he does is summarizing the events of the day without offering much insight. It's exactly like his MGS scum play. Being "helpful" with overviews and keeping the head down.
Now TheGoddamn will tell us about his switching targets, but we have to keep in mind Miracle could have been the last to send the pm. Do you think there is enough evidence?
I may contradict myself here, but look at this:
#2382 - Votes for Hyper
#2400 - Demands everyone to vote Hyper, says there is enough time to change back?!? WTF? - 4 minutes to go, this is bullshit
#2405 - Votes Hyper again, for the new page - clearly to create a feeling of "more and more people switch", totally unnecessary from a town view of point
L_P is a very cautious and calm player, why would he go all-in for a bandwaggon of someone he didn't even think of as scum? I think this was an ultimate bussing concept! Nobody would ever be so eager to get his teammate lynched, right? Tell you what, I think scum realized this opportunity and now it looks like L_P is totally town with going after Hyper so strong.
His style of play is very odd. He adds a nice thought here and there, went hard after TheGoddamn (scum would be pushing to lynch a switcher) and was in favour of lynching TWE over LoC, before bussing Hyper.
And something I noticed while looking through his posts:
He never said anything and nobody called him out on it! Here I am L_P, what was your big post about?

Since i have been watching the movies: it is blue I think. And sometimes orange. And another time there is nothing and a wand just goes flying with a funny "poink" sound effect. It's kind of inconsistent.
Anyway, I do believe Gorlak his re visioned win condition, it is not as insanely impossible as the original. I also believe him that he is currently acting in favor of town. However, I also believe that he has a survivor alternative win condition, and that while he is pro town right now, if switching sides is beneficial for him he will not hesitate to do that. I see no harm in keeping him around for now, especially with crab also potentially dying if Gorlak eats it, but if we are nearing the end of the game and he isn't close to his hand brand win condition, we WILL have to take him out before we get to close to lylo/mylo, since keeping a survivor neutral around in those situations is INCREDIBLY dangerous and INCREDIBLY stupid. Just look at Sorian in NX for an example.
Yeah, and I found a pic of the last duell with V where the spell is indeed red:
This could be just to have the cool contrast of red/green, don't know how it was in the books. Or if it was affected by the wand shizzle (Elder Wand being Harry's but used by V). Very much flavour, maybe BSP wants to chime in, since she almost only refers to flavour in her few posts.
Roy since you want to keep me around, how would you utilize my ability? With switching at play, it's hard to approve of a target in public.
First of all, no, i don't think LoC is free of suspicion. I am not yet convinced Crab is speaking the truth with his role claim, and even if he does it reads like he himself doesn't fully understands how his role works exactly, so it would be kind of dumb to see LoC as cleared just because of this.
About L_P having dementors as some kind of passive ability: there isn't really any convincing evidence for that IMO. Yeah, you got role blocked by dementors when targeting him, but Rynam claims to also be blocked by dementors N3, and he targeted blarg. I guess it is possible that Goddamn switched Blarg with L_P, the goddamn can probably tell us more about this (but that would probably also caused Goddamn to be blocked by dementors, so it is unlikely).
My top suspicion is still Retroid. Since my last explanation why I suspect him, he said some things about trusting TWE so that's why he was still voting on him, then said he realized TWE no longer wanted to be voted on but still kept his vote on TWE. So I want an explanation for that, why did you kept your vote on TWE even after you realized he no longer wanted that? Did you no longer trusted him? Also, he claimed to have been role blocked during N2 but didn't tell us the flavor text, so that is also something he still has to tell us.
VOTE: Retroid
Hmm, we will have to think about this. With a scum switcher probably in play, it would indeed be kind of dangerous to publicly announce your target, scum could misuse that and our other known PR will be focused on the blarg tank. Probably be best that for now you just target people you think aren't a PR or are scum on your own accord, since it will be pretty easy for us to check if your night actions are pro-town or not.

So uh, if anyone was wondering, I was not switched or poisoned. I don't think I should be expecting that stuff anyway considering no Death Eaters see me as a threat probably.
That is a very good point. Passive block would most likely refer to any action, i.e. even switching? Yeah, don't know how else it should work, but I still would like some more thoughts on this from everyone!

Aweee look who's all into flavor now ^____^
"Both of them swung their wands above their heads and pointed them at their opponent; Snape cried: "Expelliarmus!" There was a dazzling flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted off his feet..."
Quote from book 2. I guess it confirms that the spell that was used is Expelliarmus! I think KK made a point in his fake RC that E. is HPs "specialty". I would consider the possibility of a town aligned role blocker here.
I will be busy this weekend. Hope to have some time to follow the thread and give my opinion every now and then.

How did Lone_Prodigy suddenly become a Dementor suspect?
Bananaspaceprincess

I missed that too. So would someone please explain that!
I'd say Blarg is safe tonight. Even if TheG is blocked, I don't think someone will target Blarg since Rynam still had another day to report. That is, unless Death Eaters are willing to do a 1 for 1 trade for Blarg.
So...just one thing that's curious to me...why was Crab targeted by a switch last night? And why did he not get poisoned/killed? As an investigator, I would have thought he'd be a prime scum target.
Only town would have motivation to switch him, to keep him protected. So I'm going to assume town switched him. The question is, who was he switched with? Miracle might make sense for a few reasons:
1) We haven't heard from anyone else being switched other than Crab ("transported" flavour text)
2) Miracle is not a catastrophic loss. TheG can still make his switch at night.
3) Having Miracle killed validates his and TheG's claim.
Any other hypothesis? Have we heard from everyone yet? Perhaps the switchee has yet to come forward.

I think it's extremely likely that Crab's ability is for detecting Horcruxes (both due to the wording of his ability and due to lore), so it definitely does not clear Castamere. I'm willing to consider other suspects for today, considering that we've got new information (in addition to LoC's promised claim), but imo he's definitely still a decent candidate for a lynch.
As for your case on L_P, I'll need to think about it. I'd been getting wary of his frequent summary/explanation posts because they're the main thing that stuck out about him to me thus far, and they seemed like a solid way for a scum player to stay both visible and useful. I also have to admit though, they've been very helpful to me. I agree with Roy that Dementors being a passive ability isn't very likely.
Well, I think it really is only Gorlak that seriously brought up the possibility, and his main argument is that he targeted L_P on night one and got roleblocked. He is a bit jumping to conclusions and seeing connections that aren't necessarily there if you ask me.
Why would a town switcher switch crab and take the risk of losing Blarg? That is a very, very risky move IMO and I doubt one of the weasley's would risk that. I also seriously doubt we have two town aligned switchers (that can both switch at the same time). That leaves the option of a scum switcher, and I actually disagree only town had the motivation to switch him. I think Blarg still had a lot of suspicion towards Crab, even after his role claim, so if I was scum I would expect Blarg to investigate Crab this night. By switching Crab with one of their own they could frame him if Blarg indeed investigated him, and let us kill Crab ourselves while they could focus on trying to break down the Blarg tank.

I voted twice for Hyper because the voting script didn't pick it up the first time (I unvoted the same time and the highlight tags surrounded the entire post).
Didn't Gorlak say he targeted Christina N3 and also got blocked? But didn't Rynam say he was blocked as well?

Unless Rynam is Roleblocked too
We allegedly got the Roleblocker Dementor, Roleblocker Umbridge and Expelliarmus Red Roleblocker up in this Fog of War. That's a hella anti-Tank setup and I've barely rolled off the assembly line
Frankly, I'm leaning towards getting rid of Gorlak today, being in a cautiously self-preservative mood and all
But I'm still thinking

Of course, getting rid of Gorlak would entail losing Crab, allegedly
I find it strange that you state that your Role PM has no mention of Filch/Crab, and yet you seem to be rather confident in that your lynching will simultaneously result in Crab's death.
You state that you're a Roleblocker.
What flavour text did you receive regarding having been Roleblocked during N3?
And did you successfully Punish Lone_Prodigy?

I thought Blarg wanted me to be his decoy? Plus, it's gonna be destroyed on the same night if I sold it to him last night. Didn't see the point especially if Blarg had the chance of dying. Then idk what would've happened.

I don't know about lynching Gorlak today. We should only lynch him if we don't have another target by the end of the day. We're at a point where we are going to have two night kills from now on now that the poisoner has a buffer of kills set up so I don't know if I want to potentially end up lynching two people today, if Crab is telling the truth.
