The Blue Ajah's Harry Potter Week: Mafia Game ON!

[Bela_theDo]

Guys,really. It is 8 in the morning. Too many too long posts.It is a torture for my eyes and i didnt even buy new compact lenses.

 

So what happened so far,after i was gone:

 

1) Jack claiming to kill Song,who is absolutely Town and also has an item: Now,i understand why you have to be quick to choose someone,if it is for one shot. There is always a possibility for anyone to steal your item.But not that quick. We have got more info at this moment. And I dont understand why Song,indeed.

 

2)Nolder pushing Key for reveal: Again,i dont understand why to push for reveal of trio.You said there would be no harm if any of the trio would reveal. I see harm there,as they all might have an item(like someone pointed out,sorry i am not a really quote person),scum might try to steal those items.I think it is a scummy act.

 

3)Key revealing: It might be right,or wrong. But if it is right,then it is bad. Way too open for steals and NK. Either way,it was a bad idea.

 

Then long long posts and quotes...I dont understand what is "ithi breakdown". Thanks for summing it up Jack. I might have missed tons of things,sorry. And my joking vote seems to fit there at this moment. Why,i explained above. And one more reason is i found Nolder's quotes somewhat too agressive. Now let me have some coffee,and try to write shorter,geez

 

*facepalm* VC coming up, but... I just have to say this. I thought I already did, but you people seem to take something I say and get something completely opposite out of it LOL.

 

I posted that disclaimer to say don't read too much into the flavor. I don't know where some of you got from that that I said there is a lot to get out of the flaovr, because it intended to mean the opposite. Because in my experience, players read way too much into the flavor of my games, and then actually get mad at me later, as if I betrayed them or something.

 

I guess it seems to you all like I went out of my way to say there are hints in the flavor, but I only say that because again, in my experience, most players assume there is a lot to be gleaned from the flavor and the storylines. When in fact, I usually write up my scenes in about a minute. Not a lot of thought put into them, honestly.

 

There is no specific time period for this game. It doesn't take place in a certain time in Deathly Hallows. This game is a part of Harry Potter Week, which is all about leading up to Deathly Hallows Part 2. So I will likely include various settings and characters from Deathly Hallows Part 2. But the game itself doesn't necessarily fit into one part of the book or anything like that.

Btw this explains. My mind was crazy with theories.Thanks

[Nolder]

I'm not aggressive I'm just argumentative

 

 

see???

I can't escape it

[keyholder21]

I had plans after work and then later went to Harry Potter! It's 3:30am here, so I'm going to bed and I'll post tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know why I've been quiet for the latter half of today.

[Zosime]

I just got back from seeing HP7, and since it's 3:30 a.m. my brain is frazzled- not to mention I'm a little emotionally distraught. So, I'm following Key's example of checking in, and I will post for realz when I get up later this afternoon.

[ed2funy]

Little non-related spam, but I envy you right now.

[Sedai]

The reason I would be votin zo is lack of contribution even though she has posted. She hasn't really said anything pertinent to the game. I am more inclined to vote you based on your answer.

what didn't you like about my answer?

 

It takes more then scum to lynch an innocent player. There has to be innocents on the lynch. You suggesting automatically that if I have reason to be on a lynch and the supposed scummy lynchee flips town, then I'll be next to be lynched is a very good set up on myself for later in the game. That way you can just call down and say he shot song, and voted for player x who was innocent to be lynched. I dislike that early set up Nolder, it seems a little to unpolished. Since it was rather obvious, I doubt that was what you are doing but I'll file it away as a possibility.

if you don't like it maybe you shouldn't have shot song

or maybe you shouldn't have admitted it

 

this will hang over your head for the rest of the game

don't blame me for your decisions

 

I'm just telling you the truth here

any time a townie is lynched and you were on that lynch all eyes will go to you and wonder if you aren't in fact mafia

 

It wont really hang over my head. Unless people are constantly pushing the issue and trying to distract the game. What else would you have done with a one shot vig that can be stolen, I'm curious. Song has yet to post in DPR's game and I think she has posted maybe 4 times in 40 pages. So it was a safe assumption that she wasn't active. The damage to the town was minimal because there are no roles only items. I knew I wouldn't take out a power role so that's why I was so ready with a shot.

yes I'm positive it will

people will push the issue and I don't see why that would be distracting from the game

you killed a townie

on day 1

 

we weren't even close to a lynch

you had plenty of time to give song a chance to be active or look for better targets

but you didn't

I'm not decided what I think of you but trying to act like it's no big deal has me leaning towards scum

 

what would I do? probably hang on to it for a day and use it day 2

I'm greedy

enough time to analyze people but hopefully not enough time for it to get stolen before I used it

 

also you say there's no roles just items, but you killed someone WITH an item

how do you know that item isn't a very powerful tool in the hands of mafia?

maybe you just gave them our doc or cop power? or maybe something even worse?

 

just because it was "safe" to kill song because she had no power doesn't really mean it was actually safe to kill song

[Nolder]

and you didn't answer my question

[Sedai]

I'll answer you after Zo answers.

 

You make it sound like you know the mafia got song's item. It stands a better chance that a townie received it. Alanna said items were not randomly given. Well she didn't say they weren't. She just said she didn't say that they were. Anyways, care to speculate griphook's potential item?

[Nolder]

I'll answer you after Zo answers.

ok

 

You make it sound like you know the mafia got song's item. It stands a better chance that a townie received it.

I did not mean to imply that

[Sedai]

Also Nolder it is distracting. See mine and your back and forth it is distracting. If you think I'm scum vote me and move on. People pushing the issue are trying to distract from the game. I said why I did it, don't like it then again vote me but pages and posts filled with the same arguments is distracting.

 

Any townie on another townie' lynch has killed a townie before. I made a decision to help the town by removing a role that in scum hands could do massive damage towards endgame. I used it on a player who has not been active and showed no signs of becoming active. Another hinderance to the town.

 

If I wouldn't have used it. I wouldn't ve posting so my scum hunting abilities would be null.

[Red2111]

Nolder, i thnk your scum. i think your "break dows" and "answers" are an attempt at distracting the town and causing confusion. hence why i neither read your responses to me nor am i responding to them. your quoting every single post to analyze them reeks of an attempt to appear non scummy and to appear as if your trying to help the town and i totally dislike the push for reveals. you seem almost panicky to know who the trio are, and i can only think of scum feeling this way honestly.

 

because Key went so hard against the rveal then "reluctantly" revealed it makes me suspect a team work set up here; so my puhs on her will depend greatly on your alignment.

 

 

as of right now, i think your our best option for a lynch. you'll give us loads of info, and clear up or confirm my suspicions on a few other posters.

 

 

Now your threatening a vote on me for posting an trying to get reactions. All from one line in a post. That's very over reactive. And then you say Nolder and myself are the scummiest two, but you think we are town. Setting it up so you can lynch either of us and escape culpability?

 

this. i got that feeling aoff Sakaea's post as well. she did put herself on the fence with the "ya'll are scummy but i think your town" statement.

 

It wont really hang over my head. Unless people are constantly pushing the issue and trying to distract the game. What else would you have done with a one shot vig that can be stolen, I'm curious. Song has yet to post in DPR's game and I think she has posted maybe 4 times in 40 pages. So it was a safe assumption that she wasn't active. The damage to the town was minimal because there are no roles only items. I knew I wouldn't take out a power role so that's why I was so ready with a shot.

 

to the underlined. as i've quoted from Alanna, theif plays don't take effect until the following day (sunrise of the next day) this means theif plays sent in today, wont process until start of Day 2. this means items are usable until then (both Day 1 & Night 1 in our case)

 

given this, you didn't have to fear the one shot being stolen so long as you used it before Night 1 ended. given this knowledge, i would have held off until closer to the deadline to pull the trigger on someone who was acting scummy and would have given info (ie: Nodler) rahter than a lurker who had a good chance of being town and therefor put our numbers down one from the start and gave us no info from her death.

 

now while i find the action of you killing her to be susipcous given the circumstances, i also find the fact that you started with the vig kill to be more in your favor as far as alignment. as i've said previously, i can't see Alanna allowing the scum a day kill as well as a NK for fear of balance issues. this alone is why i'm pushing more for Nodler instead of you.

 

 

You make it sound like you know the mafia got song's item. It stands a better chance that a townie received it. Alanna said items were not randomly given. Well she didn't say they weren't. She just said she didn't say that they were. Anyways, care to speculate griphook's potential item?

 

if we're goign souly off cannon, the Sword comes directly to mind. given that Griphook was the one who could tell the copy from the real, Harry promised to give it to him, and he tried to escape from Gringots with the sword.

 

but if Alanna is goign by cannon, i'm thinking there possably two swords out there, the copy DD had made and the one Snape gave to Harry in the Forrest of Dean. so even if Song had the sword, theres no telling if it might have been the real one.

[Sedai]

Red I had the same feeling about Nolder and Key.

 

Also I didn't know that theif plays hit at the following morning, I might of waited until night then, but I already had used the action and I was satisfied with my reasoning.

 

The way o see it. Nolder and Key's innocence or scumminess is co-dependent. If Nolder is scum then I think him and key were running a play. If town then I believe them both.

[Red2111]

nah im not going to call it co-dependent jack.

 

 

Nodler could be town and key could have used it as an opporunity to clear herself and link herslef to a townie. also, Nodler could be scum and key could have fallen into his trap.

 

 

i do agree that if Nodler does turn up scum, then Key diserves alot more pressure on her, or atleast to be looked at more closely JIC.

[Red2111]

also i keep calling him Ndoler, instead of Nolder *shakes head at self* so sorry abotu that one Nolder i'll try to make sure i get your name right from now on ... can i just call you Nol instead

[Nolder]

sure

I don't mind

 

at least you don't get me mixed up with other people

 

I was once on a forum with a Nacho and a Noodle and everyone always get us mixed up

I even got us mixed up

 

I think the worst time was when someone referred to me as Noodler

[Nolder]

oh geez there's several posts addressing me

 

I'll get to them later

I'm not in the mood to do it right now

[Red2111]

is it bad that i now have the urge to call you Noodler after giggling for a minute over the name or that i find myself pronouncing it more like Nude - ler rather than Noodle-ler

 

don't mind me, just getting psyched up cause we're goign to be seeing the movie in about 3 hours

[Lessa Nikia]

Stop talking about the movie! It's not fair to some of us.My mom was going to send me to the midnight showing for an early birthday present and she forgot to get a ticket. *pouts*

[Sedai]

@red yeah co dependent was to strong of a word

Really....Please read your posts....then take them and apply it to you actions before you harass other people.

It's a little hypocritical.

 

 

 

 

I, for one, think Key is who she says she is right now, though, the whole fight it like crazy then up and reveal is suspicious.

[Niniel]

Hi. Just stopping by to say that I might not post much today. My bf came by and decided to stay. I have not have the time to read all posts that have been posted since yesterday and I want to take my time to read it before I know what to say.

[Alanna]

Stop talking about the movie! It's not fair to some of us.My mom was going to send me to the midnight showing for an early birthday present and she forgot to get a ticket. *pouts*

 

That sucks :( I kind of wanted to go to a midnight showing, but I always go with my whole family, since we're all HP nerds, and I can tell you my mom and dad would not be up for a midnight showing LOL. Anyway, it's probably a good thing, because for some reason I was really tired yesterday, and I might not have been so alert for a midnight showing either.

 

So, we're going early evening - before the nighttime crowd hits.

 

VC coming up. Actually, I'm going to shower, and then post a VC. Need to get the chlorine out of my hair.

[Alanna]

MODPSPEAK: BTW, in terms of the post I made concerning flavor - please understand that there is no confirming or denying characters in that. In fact, when I posted it, I hadn't actually caught up reading everything yet, and I posted it before I read of any reveals or claims anyone had made. I merely wanted you to understand that there is no frame of reference for what part of the book this takes place in; not to read the "time" of the game into what I write in scenes.

 

When you do a mafia game based on a pre-existing story - be is a movie, book, TV show, whatever - you can either try to find a way to fit that story into a mafia game situation, or you can just have fun with it and not bother to really have a continuing "story" throughout your game. I usually try to do the former, so I just wanted it to be clear that, in this game, it's the latter.

 

That said, you can often find hints or clues in the details of a scene. But not in the overall "story" because in this case, there isn't one, except for the JKR already wrote :D

 

I hope that makes sense.
