I am going to be in the yard for several hours now. I will be back before deadline. 

Charis is also starting to look more guilty to me. Verbs post asking for explanations is pretty clear that he was speaking to Turin and Dar. Both Lessa and Charis felt the need to defend themselves when it was obvious that they had not posted after Darthe claimed Harry. I don't buy the "it sure sounds like he wanted to hear from all of us" excuse. Because it didn't. 

 

Back for two seconds!

 

I think that things are going the way of Turin or LZM today. I wish more people would post but alas, weekends seem to be slower for the site overall. I have to go for a few hours now.

 

*pokes the game*

Cast a vote. I'd prefer if it were for Turin but I won't complain if it's for me. Someone has to hang.

 

I did cast a vote, LZM.

 

I will  [v]Lessa[/v]. She got Harry Potter Darthe killed. It seemed opportunistic to me then and does still. I don’t like that it feels like she’s setting up Dar, another opportunistic play. I feel like she’s being defensive when she wasn’t even called out. 

 

I’m willing to go LZM and could make a case that way too. But right now I want more out of Lessa. 

 

I am not willing to vote for Turin today. I think he is town and I said so in my recap. From my reread I am still pretty sure about Lessa being scum.

*pokes the game*

I have a hair appointment this morning and then I have to work in my garden. I will be in and out. We have a little under 12 hours from now if I am not getting the time difference messed up. I am willing to switch my vote to LZM if that is needed. For now I would like to hear more from Lessa. I'll be back!

Also, notice the emphasis on Dices I'M in that quote?

 

Someone with a quicker wit than I could have caught that as his claim on D1

I really don't know why you are making such a big deal out of Dice's claim. I have a pretty quick wit and I didn't catch it and I have played with Dice on many occasions. Any claim in this game is null to me. Even Darthe's Harry claim because we have no idea who is who in here, we don't know what claims the scum team have and we can't be sure that anyone is telling the truth. I'm pretty sure this has been said before. 

Sorry, ran to the coffee shop for sustenance and COFFEE!

*Holds out wand and aims at the large Gryffindor chest*

Reparo!

Rhea, my "following" concern is based on posts that seem to be agreeing with others. To put it another way A lack of original content in my opinion. I only have my phone at present so can't quote and explain better.

I'm working again tonight so will be mostly absent running up to deadline. I will try to give my thoughts on everyone soon.

That is fair.

 

Have we completed the Gryffindor long path now? The large chest blew up when the path was cleared, but I'm not sure what is down that tunnel.

*holds her wand out in front and steps over the rubble to move into the path*

Lets keep going guys!

this path is not complete. I think I know what to do but I want someone I'm confident is town and has a spell to assist me.

I just woke up but I'm here and I have a spell to use. Please explain the plan as I want to help! I think it is important for us to keep searching the tunnels.

*wand at the ready*

And now I am going to bed. 

Well my spoiler tag didnt work so sorry about that. 

Recapping Day 1

Rereading and recapping for myself. 

 

@ Verb. I don't understand what it is you need to clarify from Daruya and Turin, Verb. Why is it so important to know why they didn't unvote? I do believe Turin was asleep and Dar gave a pretty good explanation. You, Verb, were expecting Darthe to respond to Dar's post with 3 min to deadline and her to make a reply and unvote based on that reply? I really don't think there was time at that point. And now you are trying to use that to push her being scum? I think we need more than that to go on. 

 

If you read my post, I said these were the 2 that posted before DL, which was after Darthe's reveal.  So yeah, there was PLENTY of time to question/unvote/whatever.

 

But the second post that you are referring to is 5 min after the deadline, so I do not see your logic. 3 minutes is not plenty of time.

Popping in on my lunch quick.

I am not sure how to take any claims when we know the scum team have fake claims to use. So Dar, we will just have to wait and see if its true or not. 

I am still unsure about Lessa. I will try to post why later when I have more time to re-read. 

Sorry guys, I'm at work, I will be able to do a better job when I get home tonight. 

Where are we at on the story line? Have all the doors and chests been opened?

How did the chest explode? I didn't see a bomb in the chest, just that it exploded with the rubble. I might have to go back and read that again. 

 

Let's stop a moment here. 

 

 

Zepp claims that I noted Dice's claim of Seamus. All I noted was that Dice claimed town. I didn’t even make the connection between Dice’s choice of a Seamus gif as being his character claim.

 

 

Zepp voted for me first. Then Dice voted for me because he mistakenly believed I didn’t want us scum hunting.  Then Darth voted for me. Then Gentled Ben.

 

 

Who, I say, who is the SOLE person still alive that was on my train?

 

 

 

Also note that Zepp is NOT voting for me today? Why? If I was "worthy" of a vote yesterday, and the death of Darthe, Dice and GB makes me that much more suspicious, why vote Turin? 

 

Right now, Zepp is seriously pegging my scum-meter. This isn’t about him being suspicious of me. It’s because of all of the first 4 people that voted for me, he’s the only one left alive. If I was scum, I’d never have been stupid enough to kill Darthe, Dice, and GB because suspicioun would then shift automatically to me. I don't play often but that's just common sense. Personally, I think he’s playing a clever game with his scum-buddies. And I fully expect that if I'm not lynched today, I'll end up getting killed tonight because if I can suss out one of them, they're all at risk.

 

My best friend was killed last night . . . It’s time to get serious about hunting scum because we lynched one of our own yesterday and the scum took out 2 of us last night.

 

So Daruya, you are claiming to be Dean Thomas? 

 

I've never played this game format, and I'm very rusty to say the least. And even though it's been a year I'm still so leery of Dice! LOL I will try to put my past experience aside for this.

 

Zep has explained his choice of doors pretty well and I get the thought process of both Zep and Daruya, but it still looks a bit odd to pick Slytherin right out of the gate. Just sayin.

 

 

Can anyone move the keystone at the bottom of the pit?

The bolded. Rhea, did you kill dice?

 

No, I always think Dice is scum. Past experience is all that was about. I was even starting to agree with him here ---> http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/101213-harry-potter-week-dumbledores-army-mafia-game-thread-day-2/?p=3830215

Well I can't say that I am particularly convinced on either Darthe or Daruya for scum, but I may not be back tonight and I don't want to miss the deadline. If I have to pick between the two I'd rather go with Daruya. So [v]Daruya[/v]. 

They way I read it was that you are saying that people are playing the game and then you say that is anti-town. Maybe I am reading it wrong.

I get that you think we need to scum hunt the old fashioned way, but we are trying to have some fun. I do not agree that people using game mechanics to try and see if they can hunt that way is anti-town. In fact it may be even more townie IMO. 

So, let me first say I'm not trying to defend Darthe here.......more, I'm defending the point in lynching him.

 

The speculation I've seen so far is more along the lines of gaming the mod/setup/flavor than actually trying to find scum.  Step back from the HP fandom for a sec, and remember this is just a mafia game.  The 'choose your own adventure' part is just a mechanic to allow us to have fun and have some depth to the game (all of this is my opinion, not fact)......but we still need to find scum the old fashioned way.

 

If Darthe is scum, I'll obvious just say "lolVerbal" and tell you all to ignore me this game, but I don't think we're going down the right path with how we've been approaching scumhunting.  With all the chests and potential goodies involved, this game might boil down to a kitchen sink-type game where roles/powers are going to decide who wins.

 

 

All that said, I'm content to see a flip, whether it be Darthe, Dar, or really anybody else.

Do you have any better theories? You seem to disagree with me on Lessa.

I'd submit the folks speculating so hard on which door to take, or things like that, are the ones we should be looking at as anti-town behavior.

I'm sorry but I feel like this is contradicting what you said the post before. 

Willing to lynch:

Darthe: lack of effort jumping on the only real train.

Dice: feels like he latched onto a non-game reason to go after a potential easy lynch

Elgee: to me it doesn't look like her vote matched her reasoning.

LZM: changing reasons for why he would open the Slytherin door.

Rhea: feels like a lot of following,

 

I will try to expand on my lunch break. or before deadline when I get home from work.

 

gotta go.  

Following what? I'm trying to figure out the best way to go. Do you want me to just jump on a train with no effort?

I do not have time at work to go back and read so I am going by memory. 

Rhea, I beg to differ on being a seasoned mafia player. If I play, it's not even once/year and I can probably count the games I've played since joining DM in 2006 on 2 hands. I don't know why people always think I'm a seasoned player . . .

 

Because of that, I am not familiar with how any of you play so when someone who plays regularly says "Oh, he always plays like that" is not sufficient for me to go on.

 

So that I can get a vote in before deadline, I'm going with Darthe. This isn't an OMGUS vote. He has contributed little to the speculation and has avoided direct questions.

 

Vote Darthe.

 

By the way, can someone refresh my memory what the html code is to do the votes other than changing the color and bolding? 

Dar, I am sorry if I misstook you for a seasoned player, you speak in game as if you are so that was why I thought so. also maybe because all the most recent games I've played you were also in since they were all here! Ha!

Ok, so....bottom line my theories suck! 

Darthe popped in and jumped on the Daruya train by saying that he likes these votes for her, and when he was asked why, he ignored the question. He was asked again, at least once, and he ignored it again, although he posted something in agreement with someone who said they just wanted to kill people, and then, he commented that he understood why I was voting for him but not why someone else was. He was asked why he saw my reasoning, and he hasn't responded. So basically, he's just popping in, piling on, and ignoring requests to explain himself. Maybe he just wants to get lynched and be done with it, as he has his own game to mod as soon as the sign ups are finished. 

 

Yes, everything is still weak, but we have to start somewhere.

Darthes behavior seems pretty Darthey from what I can remember. The popping in, not explaining much, etc. So I'm not seeing it the same way you are I guess. 

Folks need to stop thinking too much about flavor.  The Slytherin door has zero indication on people's alignments, IMO.

 

 

Good morning! 

 

So now we have two competing trains. 

 

I'm not getting what the case is against Darthe. Can someone explain this to me? "Cause trains" doesn't exactly work for me. 

 

The jist of the case against Daruya, please correct me if I am wrong, is that she is causing confusion, mistaking Trolls from one thread to another, and arguing semantics. Yes?

 

All the cases are weak. Honestly, I was leaning more towards voting Lessa for her Polyjuice posts, going along with Dar then voting Darthe. 

 

Why Lessa?  The polyjuice posts are irrelevant at this point.  Going along with Dar, and then voting somebody (Darthe) who was ok with the Dar votes, doesn't seem like much of a stretch......so what's the issue?

I don't think anything is irrelevant. There were/are other people on the Dar train, and with her buddying up to Dar then voting Darthe doesn't it feel like she's trying to get the pressure of Dar? It also looks like it's working. But that is just my thought and I know it's thin, I'm just trying to think this all through. 

PS. I am at work now so I will be spotty today.
