Harry Potter [Mafia] |OT| “Yer a werewolf, ‘Arry”

Sawneeks

2) Expelliarmus

During night I use this spell to disarm a person's wand spell. I used it on Blarg (I didn't receive any notification that I was successful...which I would receive if so).

I have some issues with this claim but the glaring part here is the sheer coincidence that, out of 27 players, you just happened to target the person who hit you.

Why target Blarg last night? He wasn't horribly suspicious the other day.

Lore wise, Dumbledore knew of the Horcruxes and was actively hunting for them. Very few others did - he wanted it that way.

That assumes this is based on lore of course.

Eh, I guess. It just seems weird that such a crucial piece of info was left to only one role.

Also how do we even hunt them?

Why use it at all? No one screamed scum and after Lupin's reveal...

he talked something about people saying the word Voldemort, so maybe there was something crazy he was going to do (spell-wise) that was related to people who said that word.

and I said that word the most soo...not saying I made the best choice for the night.

Alright Blarg, I see no reason not to believe you.

VOTE: kingkitty

Question: You say you are assignment investigator. You mean you won't see if scum has a PR or not? Answer with y or n.

y, ?l?gnm?nt ?nly

I do have a question for Blarg myself when he gets back.

Blarg, if you really are who you say you are, why reveal yourself this early in the game?

Anyway, the fun times of last night. Sadly I didn't wake up with the fun and friendly curse like Blarg has right now, instead I have been informed that I have been Poisoned and I will die in 2 Nights from last night ( so Night 3 ). I'm coming out with this info now for a few reasons.

All I've got is that Sawneeks ate some bad seafood.

Still, Blarg is more decipherable than his usual self. That's a plus. Thanks stupefy.

At first I thought the role claim was genius. But kingkitty using his power on Blarg, all the while Blarg mentions being Stupefied and Cruciatused....it just doesn't add up. The odds of them picking each other is incredibly small. What...1 / 27*27? That's 1 / 729. I'm going to go with the odds on this one and say kingkitty is lying.

How is it unlikely? Blarg specifically called me out before the day ended. This isn't some random pick.
 
I'm not sure how I feel about kingkitty's HP claim. For starters, I get that this is a bastardized game or whatever, but he's a roleblocker who's also a medium who also needs to die for a certain Death Eater to be night killed who also wins automatically if it's only him and that certain scum player left? That's quite a lot of power for a single role (but it is the titular power role so it's not outside the realm of possibility). Furthermore, what if we tried to lynch Voldemort? Would he be able to be killed then, even though his horcrux was intact? I feel like if the Harry role needs to die for him to be killed, it would apply to all forms of death.

In any case, I feel like lynching kitty makes the most sense as things stand now. Best case scenario, we get a Death Eater. And if kitty is telling the truth about his role, while we will unfortunately lose a townie, we'll at least open up the possibility of Voldemort being night killed.

Interesting thought. Still, unless we find a better candidate, I don't see us lynching anyone else.

This is hypothetical, but lynching someone else/no one would allow us to get another read from Dumbledore if someone had a power to save him, although that's doubtful. I'm not saying I don't want to get rid of kingkitty, just not today necessarily. I think my logic is flawed though.

What do we get by delaying the inevitable?

Dumbledore is safe tonight. Someone will protect him. As long as no one else becomes a target, Dumbledore is safe.

delaying the inevitable? just chop and dice blarg today

it'll show he's lying. and then I, the hero of this story, will live on.

if anything, it should be me who gets protection tonight.

Yeah...I don't buy kingkitty's role claim at all. Way too much power and too many contradictions to support it. I think I'll keep my vote on him from earlier as I don't think that we will be getting a more likely Lynch than him.

It has too many choices for you to use at night, with no guarantees that any of it will actually be of any use. A good main character role would always be useful while being important to the game.

Besides, any one whose watchedhttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0uvkdiTN5vYknows that Neville is the REAL chosen one!

I only have two choices. One is a one-time use. And the other disarms wands. I don't think I have an overabundance of power.

I'm still leaning towards believing Blarg's claim more, but it's certainly a bold move.If he is a Death Eater, then it'd be quite the play to try and draw the real Harry Potter out. My vote stays on Miracle for now though.

It's not so much the power, as much as it is the usefulness. A role blocker wouldn't be as much of a help to town,as you would most likely be blocking other town. But the thing that discredits the claim the most, is the resurrection stone. I could have sworn that having a role/ability to bring someone back from the dead was highly discouraged, if not banned with the reasoning that it would mess up both the dead thread and the sub list.(although the sub list wouldn't be affected as badly as the spoiler heavy dead thread,it would still mess it up if there was a situation where a sub was needed, but the only person on the list got resurrected.)

I already explained that the dead would be resurrected before they're given the opportunity to be in the dead thread. Only after when my message is sent to the dead, and I get a reply, will that person then be free to join the dead thread/sub in another game/etc.
 
Hey guys what's goin-

*role claims, role claims everywhere*

It's only day 2 people! Geez! Anyway, if what Blarg said about the Horcruxes is true, doesn't that make (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows spoilers)
kingkitty a horcrux if his roleclaim is correct?

Also, sawneeks happens to be poisoned? If this is a deliberate attack, could this mean sawneeks made good reads on day 1? Interesting...

Okay,I missed that part. I then have this question: what to stop you from using it to bring yourself back to life? Theoretically since it isn't a true night action, but rather a dusk/in-between action, you should be able to bring yourself back to life before/after you die. If your "role pm" specifically said you couldn't, why didn't you mention that part?

Sorry King but...I don't really believe you. Your role claim seems really strong and your reasoning for picking Blarg as your target seems weak. I won't vote against you just yet because I still want to hear from other people but I'm strongly considering putting your head on a stake.

My ?wn R?l? PM

What was the flavor on it if you don't mind? Does it hint at anyone else knowing this information?
 
sorry, just catching up, begin really busy and about to fall straight to sleep (maybe)

on a first reading: mostly believe blarg, there's something else I think he might be doing right now

the possibility blarg is lying is possible, for all we know he could be scum, but Sawneeks mentioning she knows she's poisoned backs up parts of blarg' claims at least

speaking of which, I believe that might be the main gimmick of the game: we know what the scum are doing and who they act on, in terms of the spell and what it does.

it may be that everyone receives everyone's spells in fact, and this could be very very useful for us (we could figure out what sort of roles we have on our side- for cthulhybwe assumed we had a cop when we didn't for the longest time)

There would be no reason to use it on myself. It's just used to send one message to the dead and to get a reply. Using it on myself wouldn't make much sense.

I'd just like to interject and ask blarg not to just c&p parts of his role pm to this, as I feel it sort of goes against/steps the boundaries of the rules of the game

this is also in regards to future role claims
 
I also see people reading into the lore too much, AGAIN

STOP!! You're leaving yourself open to lynching our best town or or letting scum go in the future, or hell, maybe (doubtfully) even now. The lore and theme of this game are DEVICES that the mods use to hold s certain type of game, nothing more, nothing less.

you're leaving yourself open for the game to surprise if you look at things in terms of the lore

we have an idea of scum most likely having a role blocker though?
