I almost voted for you Swamped for creating this circle of trust (because I wasn't in it). But apparently you were already lynched Day 1 in MGS, which was a game I didn't follow.

But (for the time being) I will

vote: TheAwesomePossum

Where are you theawesomepossum? and are you really that awesome?

Also I didn't realize this game had such a high bastard scale. But even with that high number...I don't think a tanner would exist. That role is sacrilege to gaf mafia.

But I bet there are all sorts of neat roles. Maybe there's some lucky buddies out there? Lost partner? Maybe someone has a role that could force another person to speak in image macros? Very curious to see what surprises Day 2 has in store for us.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Hahaa okay I couldn't resist on trying to analyse Blargs posts anyway. Here are my thoughts on him. I base my ideas on flavor only so in case he hid some clues in his text, like taking the first three letters of every 5th word my thoughts won't get us anywhere! Cause I really suck at stuff like that!

Allrighty, he focuses a lot on muggle love. So I would generally say he is not a death eater. If I am not mistaken he also hints that he is a student at Hogwarts and his muggle affinity also excludes him from being a Slytherin and/or Severus Snape!!

So far so good. At the very first I assumed that he is one of the Muggle born students in Harrys year. That would be Dean Thomas (Gryffindor) or Justin Finch-Fletchley (Hufflepuff). I know there are more but from all the side characters they seem important enough to be part of this game. Dean more than Justin because Justins time of glory ended in book 2.

Then I stumbled over this:



And I wonder, is Blarg Lupin? Waking up, not remembering how he got there (Might have been a full moon night) under a tree (the whomping willow was planted when Lupin came to Hogwarts as a student) and there is a town near by (after all the Shrieking Shack is very close to Hogsmeade)

Sooo those are my thoughts on Blargii. I did my best so please be nice ^___^

YAY BSP.

Let's form our own alliance, Swamped is trying to infulence all the newbies and I fear she is a false prophet

 

[Hyperactivity]

Guys we have no jester.

No one would make a jester role, it's such a stupid role

 

[cabot]

Maybe someone has a role that could force another person to speak in image macros?

[TheExodu5]

Just went and analyzed Swamp's list. She chose 3 of us 5 newbies, along with bsp, Gorlak, Burb, CM, and Roy.

Up until the point that she posted the list, I had not really posted anything of worth in the thread. So...is this just a random list? Or is there some method to the madness? Role related, perhaps?

 

[kingkitty]

ourubolous,

lol.

 

[Gorlak]

BSP thinks Blarg claims Lupin? What's the alignment of a werewolf in a mafia game?

Me reading the names in this post:

Yes roy, we understand that you do not know the flavour, no need to repeat it anymore. I'm glad you will watch the movies though

Spoiler

the books are better

What bothers me is that it definitely pulls the attention at the moment. But this is also a reason why I am willing to believe he's pro town because it is good to talk this through and finish this chapter on D1 so we don't have to talk it over and over again on the other days and be distracted from finding real scum. I know this might happen anyway but we will see.

The miller chapter will never be closed. No matter how far we are into the game, if Burb still lives everybody will be unsure of him. Everyday from now on we will discuss if it's time to lynch Burb now.
Also I want to remind you of MGS, fake role given to scum: Liquid Snake - Miller, the main antagonist was not in the game. If you like to meta the shit, Snape could not be in the game at all, just a fake scum roleclaim. Right now my instincts tell me this is not the case here, but you never know.

Up until the point that she posted the list, I had not really posted anything of worth in the thread. So...is this just a random list? Or is there some method to the madness? Role related, perhaps?

It's somewhat random and her gut feeling, I guess. I'll ignore it.

 

[Kalor]

A werewolf could be a Town role but every odd night they are forced to attack someone. That's the best thing I could come up with when thinking about that character and what they do.

 

[Swamped]

Oooo i was just thinking that there could be a poisoner type of role. Hogwarts students could get inflicted with the Dark Mark and then die later.

 

[TheExodu5]

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.

 

[Flame_AC]

I think what someone mentioned earlier is correct, Burb will be a source of discussion for many days after this one if he lives. I agree that we have a chance of taking out a power role, but if you're afraid of ever losing a power role, then we should never lynch. Burb gives us an opportunity to get rid of a wild card for little loss on our side.

Swamped just really, REALLY hate lynching newbies day 1. Still, I am curious why she choose those 3 newbies out of the 5.

Puppies also tend to have some kind of veteran type of power, killing everyone that visits them during a night they are furry.

I promise I will stop after I have seen one of the movies

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

This is a sentiment I see more often in games, so I will address it now: just because someone doesn't have a powerful rule, doesn't make then useless! A great player that is a vanilla towny often end up way more useful for town then a bad player with a power role. In every game he has been, burbeting was a huge asset for town, his reads in those games were just....crazy good. And yes, if he stays alive we may have to lynch him eventually, but I am not willing to lynch him just because of this miller claim. Since he outed himself he can no longer cause serious problems for our cop, so I don't have a problem with keeping him around a while longer as long as he doesn't do anything suspicious and is an asset for town.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Anyone who's played with me knows I'm not a fan of lynching targets of convenience. Burb has done nothing worthy of suspicion as of yet. If he's telling the truth, he's playing his role exactly as he's supposed to. Power roles are a nice thing to have, but I'll take a strong player over a strong role any day of the week.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Also, lynching Burb is too easy for scum to hide in. There are no voting patterns or suspicious behaviour to be gleaned from lynching an alleged claimed Miller, unless he's scum, then the reluctance to off him is real.

Maybe Snape's win condition is to die before Harry. Since he loves Lily he could protect his son with his life, even though he hates Potter's guts.

BSP thinks Blarg claims Lupin? What's the alignment of a werewolf in a mafia game?

Lupin most likey would be town aligned I guess. But I have another flavor idea there. What if he isn't dangerous as long as Snape is alive because he can brew him his anti-wolf potion?!? And as soon as Snape dies We are no longer save from him at night?! But yeah I might go a little to far there

There is another werewolf though that is definitely one of the bad guys, Greyback.

Hypeeeeer I'm so glad that at least one of the old team found its way here!!! )))) Let's go for a butterbeer soon!!

I hope you don't mind me having my wand out. I won't risk getting stabbed in the back by a old friend ^^

Aww, I thought you were used to getting stabbed in the back by your friends. That's basically what happened last time

A werewolf role would be interesting, could have many weird interactions.

But tbh, I feel like if the werewolf role did kill someone every other night, they would claim. Unless salva hid info from the players

 

[roytheone]

So, ehm, Is swamped really not going to come back to explain her vote? It didn't really sounded like a standard RNG or "I want them to speak up" vote to me.

 

[TheExodu5]

So do we know how crazy these roles could get?

I'm wondering if maybe there'd be a Dementor that can temporarily silence someone. Then again...if there was a dementor I wonder if they could even speak. And they could be a neutral faction as well, since they're not really bound to anyone in the books.

 

[Swamped]

So, ehm, Is swamped really not going to come back to explain her vote? It didn't really sounded like a standard RNG or "I want them to speak up" vote to me.

So this is yet another gut feeling but so far the way Roy has been interacting with me strikes me as Town Roy.

For similar reasons, I'm feeling good about Exodu5's response to me including him in my list. Felt Hogwarts-like.

While 'voting to apply pressure' is an A+ strategy in my books I am going to hold off on mine for a little bit. I don't see anything worth jumping on at this time and I prefer to wait until more people have chimed in so we can get a better mix here. The game started only 4 or so hours ago, I want to give some people time to get their feet wet and let some new folks voice their opinions.

Also, I fully support a Day 1 lynch in these games. It forces people to act and make hard stances, something we can use later on as a detector for scum vs. not-scum. If we end this Day and someone has a No Lynch or doesn't have a vote down I will take a good hard look at you on Day 2 and I think everyone else should as well.

If we're going to catch the Death Eaters we are going have to take some risks that will ultimately lead us towards their capture. It sucks for whoever gets lynched on Day 1 but we need that info and, as some of the other games showed, lynching Scum Day 1 is always a possibility.

Sawneeks says she approves of voting for pressure, so let's just say I'm pressuring her, but not for no reason. My reasoning is a little weak, but eh, this day is slowing down so why not? She says she'll wait for others to speak up first which is fine, but since then loads of people have chimed in. I myself have seen some strange behavior so far (this is apart from Sawneeks), so it just stuck out to me that she herself doesn't have a vote on anyone so far.

There was some strange behaviour at the start of this game as well that i don't think got much attention, so when I'm at a pc I'll talk about that (it's easier to search stuff on a computer). And I'm not talking about Burb and Blarg. We still have like 3 days so no worries.

A side point - i knew KK would get 'annoyed' at me leaving him out of the DA lol. I'm the VP of his fanclub after all! I'm anticipating a similar reaction from another player. This doesn't really have much to do with scum hunting, but it's kind of fun seeing people's reactions!

 

[Matt Attack]

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Anyone who's played with me knows I'm not a fan of lynching targets of convenience. Burb has done nothing worthy of suspicion as of yet. If he's telling the truth, he's playing his role exactly as he's supposed to. Power roles are a nice thing to have, but I'll take a strong player over a strong role any day of the week.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with you and Roy on this one. My thoughts on how easy it would be for somebody to imagine Snape being a Miller aside, I probably would have come out and claimed pretty early too if I had the role.

So do we know how crazy these roles could get?

I'm wondering if maybe there'd be a Dementor that can temporarily silence someone. Then again...if there was a dementor I wonder if they could even speak. And they could be a neutral faction as well, since they're not really bound to anyone in the books.

Well, while a role like that could potentially exist, I don't think there's much useful discussion we could get over trying to guess at what sort of crazy roles exist (at least, not without any clues to begin with). But as to a general "How crazy could the roles get?" question, I've seen some pretty insane roles in GAFia before so I wouldn't be surprised to see some absurd stuff down the line.

Alright, just wondering how weird things could get.

I'll probably keep role speculation to myself until there's evidence to support it.

 

[Kawl_USC]

I think the most bastard thing possible to do with the bastard scale, would be to lie about where the game itself falls. This game is actually a 4 and a very straight up Mafia game. Calling it now.

Role speculation itself isn't inherently bad- for instance. it wouldn't be uncommon to suspect the presence of a role blocker or another common Mafia role (if you're familiar with them) even without necessarily seeing direct proof of presence- the fact that they're so prevalent means there's a decent chance a role like that could come up. I just think that we might get carried away if we start thinking too hard about what sort of roles the Harry Potter flavor could allow. In any case, expect things to get weird, if this games bastard rating is anything to go by.

Fair enough, I am just not the biggest fan of placing a vote and not adding any explanation or at least saying the explanation is coming. Hyper also did that in one of his first posts with a vote on Rynam and after that I think he didn't said an actual word about Rynam yet.

Talking about Rynam, he hasn't posted a relevant post yet, but he was present at some point since he did post a joke. Hopefully we will see more of his thoughts soon.

You know, for all the discussion about weird/insane roles, the only one that's been claimed so far is rather standard.

I was waiting to see if there was anything scummy to latch onto once more discussion got going. Typically the more scum are forced to talk the more of a chance they have to really slip up but so far I haven't really seen anything that jumps out at me. We do have Blarg, Burb, and now your pow-wow group but none of them necessarily feel scummy to me, just weird. I am kinda curious as to why you picked those people for your group. Was it straight RNG or did you hand pick them?

Role speculation isn't inherently a bad thing but seeing as we have nothing to actually base our theories off of except for a role claim we aren't really going to make much headway here. If you're going to start trying to figure out roles I would suggest waiting until we at least have 1 or 2 concrete roles out in the open so we have a good sense of what we are working with here.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I'm still inclined to believe Burb honestly. I think there was way to much risk for him to claim this early. I feel bad for him too. It's a fucked role. Claim now and risk possible death or claim after investigation and risk certain death. Do or don't certainly.

Im not sure who to lynch today. I'm kinda leaning Blarg because of how distracting he'll be but I'm not sure enough to cast. Not enough info yet. I'll mull it over today and make a gut call.

Ill probably throw a pressure vote out later at the very least.

 

[Retroid]

Standing by that Snape has more to it than has been revealed, not interested in a lynch in that direction as of now.

Maybe Harry is 1 shot bullet proof because he's a

horcrux

and 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.

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

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.

I think the most bastard thing possible to do with the bastard scale, would be to lie about where the game itself falls. This game is actually a 4 and a very straight up Mafia game. Calling it now.

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 or

Spoiler

scum of the earth, lower than dirt

neutrals in here.

I also want to make our bastard system more precise, so here is a scale:

7: This is a closed game with some non-traditional roles and non-traditional mechanics that nevertheless don't fundamentally deviate too far from the mafia norm. Making Animal Friends is Awesome! (Karkador's season 2 game) is an example of this, as is Ourobolus's season 3 Archer game.
8: This is a role madness game which where traditional mechanics are employed (or only slight deviations), but everyone or almost everyone has a role and these roles are not necessarily restricted to the normal set of roles.
9: This is a closed game with some non-traditional roles and non-traditional mechanics that very fundamentally change it from how mafia would normally be expected to work and require very different approaches to play. LaunchpadMcQ's season 3 Danganronpa game and traube's season 3 Cthulhu game are examples of this.
10: This is a total madness game where every player has a role, these roles are not necessarily traditional and there are strong non-standard mechanics.
11: This is a full bastard game. You are all in the Matrix. This scale is merely an attempt by your deeper subconscious to expand your epistemological uncertainty to a ground where you can make conclusions on existentialism and the state of your reality. The moderators are lying to you. Your win condition is meaningless and probably a lie. What does it even mean to "win" in life? Do we have a purpose? Trust nobody. Eat the red pill.

As a clarification, any role or combination of roles which introduces "untruths" by the moderator is non-traditional. E.g., the Godfather (reveals Innocent on Cop reports) is non-traditional because it involves the moderator giving false information to the Cop (although the Godfather and the Miller are probably the tamest examples of this).

If you could all rerank your games by this scale, that would be nice.

:') 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.

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.

you just have to get SUPER-close and serious about lynching him and he'll crack

Just put a fire under him and begin to roast, see how he screams XD

Spoiler

No guys, I don't actually want to cook Blargonaut, the meat is disgusting

On your point about the mislynch, as I understand, because we start at an even number of players, and because most nights, let's assume for now, ignoring weird PR shenanigans, have 1 kill, the numbers work to our favor somehow with the point at which scum would earn a majority and stuff.

It's really weird tbh, maybe someone else can explain it better, or maybe I'll find the post that originally detailed how this worked

 

[TheAwesomePossum]

Well shit, I'm sorry. I thought this game was starting on the 15th. How silly of me. It has nothing to do with me being suspicious guys. Promise!

[roytheone]

Ah yes... the infamous Blargnaut... does he ever stop posting in riddles cause it's going to get really annoying later in the game.

The only reason why he would ever stop speaking in riddles is to make some kind of insane role claim, then defend that role claim as some kind of ridiculous master plan to mislead scum, which will lead to us lynching him and then he will flip town and everyone will go: huh? That's basically Blarg in a nutshell

Well, the assumption we will have 1 kill during each night is already a huuuuuge one to make. I think the chances of having at least one night with multiple deaths or no deaths at all is way bigger. It is way to early to start speculating on how the math works with Mylo, Lylo etc, we don't know nearly enough about how this game is set up to do that right now.

BTW, Hyper, could you explain your Rynam vote a bit more? Why did you vote on him? How do you feel about him now? etc.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I think what someone mentioned earlier is correct, Burb will be a source of discussion for many days after this one if he lives. I agree that we have a chance of taking out a power role, but if you're afraid of ever losing a power role, then we should never lynch.

This is true. It happens all the time. Someone pops up with a power role and then they dominate the conversation for the next couple of days. We shouldn't have that.

huh, people finally noticed that

I rng'ed one of the newbies. mainly a pressure vote, see how they would act/react. plus sorta tried to get them to speak up more. seeing as I still think Ryan should be speaking up more, I'm fine with leaving the vote there, even if I don't plan to lynch any new players today

 

[kingkitty]

This is true. It happens all the time. Someone pops up with a power role and then they dominate the conversation for the next couple of days. We shouldn't have that.

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.

Well shit, I'm sorry. I thought this game was starting on the 15th. How silly of me. It has nothing to do with me being suspicious guys. Promise!

oh, there you are. now I want a read list on every player here, each a paragraph long.

Hello

Oops, wrong game. Okay, so I'm finally getting caught up and here are some of my thoughts:

1. I like the idea of a D1 lynch, as others have said it at least gives us a chance of hitting a mafia member, establishes some voting patterns and behavior, and lets us make the first move.

2. Not sure how to handle Burbeting's claim. I mean, there's nothing we can really do to verify it, he doesn't claim any useful powers, and it could be a (bold) cover. Then again, no one has counter-claimed him... but maybe that's because the theoretical "real" Snape could actually have useful powers? I will admit that the Miller seems to be a fitting role for Snape. So, not really sure what to do with this one either. If we had no other good options I could support a Burbeting lynch.

3. I have no idea what the hell Blargonaut is doing with those Watson posts. Is that supposed to be some kind of subtle role claim or hint or something? I am surprised that those posts are not getting more scrutiny/suspicion (unless they're just gibberish, I haven't played with Blarg before so I'm not sure what to think).

The Lupin theory could make sense? But then the "kill Snape and unleash werewolf Lupin" theory could also make sense, which would make potentially killing Snape risky, but even if that were the case, werewolf Lupin would only be dangerous on one night (the full moon).

Unless we are dealing with an absolutely massive scum team, is there any role trade off where a 1 for 1 would be favorable for mafia? Snape would have to be our Harry Potter Jesus in this game for some reason, so I think we can throw out that this could be a scum attempt to get the "actual" Snape to claim.

The corollary to that being, if there is a Snape out there who hasn't claimed out of fear of getting NK'd I think it would be in the villages best interest to come forward regardless. (Not that I think there is another Snape.)

the cop or doctor can be. depends on the game, the players, etc.

into, a cop that catches scum N1 should hunt at it and maybe try and clear a townie. imp it's a fair trade, but it really depends. I see it as favorable for town

Darryl in archer for example, I think would be a good example of a good 1 for 1 for scum
