Her defense of the Deathly Hallows/Dark Arts thing wasn't even needed, but she overexplained it in a way that looked nervous

Are there any other facets to the case there?

I'd like to see what was behind her "I have my reasons" about DH just in case it's something tangible that happened in this game that I overlooked.

[mention]Owner of a Lonely Heart[/mention] I should have put this alert in the post I made to you. Please scroll up above Turnips post to read my post. Thanks.

Also lol nutella! I'm not reading him as bad but I love your not-this-time comment.

So you are voting DH because he was a civilian in the a completely different game and you suspected him there?
I have my reasons, or it could be DH just reads scummy each game. (that could be a thing; I would need to have played more games with him to test this theory).

But I think he's being different.

So Owner, I am reading through your posts and I didn't see any further explanation but my apologies if you've already answered this. You say:
1. You "have your reasons" - so what are those reasons?
OR
2. DH reads scummy in every game but you haven't played enough games with him to know (I personally don't think he reads scummy here)
OR
3. You think he's being "different". Different from what? The game you played with him where you thought he was scummy but he was civ? What differences do you see and are you talking about differences from Firefly or some other game? If it's another game what game is that?

I know people have already commented about your suspecting DH for his play in another game where you thought he was bad but he was really civ, but I'll just add to the comments anyway: if you have other reasons (item number 1) please state them because the reasons you give here don't make a lot of sense to me. If you've already stated what "my reasons" are just point me to that post.

DH, I'm really impressed by your ISO's maybe because when I do them I never seem to be able to find the nuances like you did. I can't say I see everything the same way you do in them but there were several things that caught my attention (I'll get to them later probably).

One thing about me that I'll pass along for your consideration is in another game, Epi suspected me early because I wasn't asking as many questions as I usually do (I was civ). I think the trait is probably NAI. Airheadedness is probably more a civ trait because I can ask air headed questions in BTSC when I'm bad.

Lunchtime and then I have several people I want to look more closely at.

good morning everyone -

There's been a lot about Jay posted over the evening/night and after reading it all I'm less inclined to vote for him today. He mentions a "breakdown" and I don't know if that is true but when I couple it with the fact he said supatown Jay is dead it puts me off voting for him. I know from discord how busy he is and how he is immersed in his studies and barely comes up for air. Maybe these things are why he does not appear to be the civ Jay I know. I'm still not wild about his logic for voting Quin but willing to overlook that at this point in the game in the hopes we have a town Jay - maybe not supatown, but at least town.

Glorf I think mentioned Quin as being off (a little disagreeable or something like that) but that has recently been indicative of his town game. Also I think his sense of humor can sometimes be misconstrued (sp?). Someone described his town behavior perfectly in a past game and I'll try and find it.

I don't know at this point who I'll be voting for. I have some analysis to do.

Hi everyone -

Could someone tell me what it is about Long Con that is landing him so many votes? I scanned back through the thread but nothing jumped out at me, but I feel like there must be something big I'm missing.

I tend to believe that Owner did get confused about the Dark Arts and Deathly Hallows. There is a lot of content in the set-up and I know I can't remember it all.

I already mentioned I was civ in the thread in a more normal context but I don't mind saying it again - I am civ or if you prefer, I am town.

I am toying with the idea of voting for Jay for what he said in the post where he voted for Quin. It just seemed to lack normal logic or something and I don't think of that as a civ Jay trait. I'll re-read him when I come back.

Be back later.

I'm at work and physical therapy today so won't be back in the thread until 4 - 4:30. Please alert me if there is something you want me to respond to.

Never, unless you convince me you are bad.

I noticed you voted for Turnip Head but I couldn't find your reasoning. Would you share why you voted for him?

Epignosis said you're not on his team. Regardless of his meaning, that can be perceived as an accusation (Epignosis is a civilian accusing juliets of not being a civilian). Quin seemed to recognize the distinction as intended, but went to Epi is a mafioso and is accusing juliets of being a civilian instead -- or at least that's the implication I draw from the tone of Quin's ponder emoji response. It's silly, almost to the point of saying "Epi slipped", and it looked fake.

Highlighted portion: why?

Because if Quin interpreted Epi's comment as a slip, his question seemed like a natural follow-up.

Epi aren't the abilities used at night? We haven't had a game night yet. Or am I missing something (there were A LOT of things to digest in game Set-Up).
Hey all! Just want to point out that I find it difficult to believe that juliets was confused by this post. Like, even I can remember that people say shit like this on day 1. Thank you.

If you find this difficult to believe you don't know me very well.

[VOTE: Quin] aubergine, because he said some shit I didn't like earlier. He provided a token response to Epi's dig at juliets which just looked like "this is where I am supposed to interject with this here comment" instead of "this is a problem and I want to address it".
This is the post in question:

There. Go. Find bad guys.
so you know you're on different teams
I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't have read anything at all into Quin saying that, and the fact that Jay did is a little weird.

I was just looking back over everything Epi said to me and I came to the same conclusion. It seemed like a natural reaction. And I didn't feel Epi was "digging" at me so I'm somewhat confused by Jay on this vote.

Didn't he ask us not to ask him that in some other game somewhere? I could be misremembering -

Oh well thats interesting. What game was that?

Well he's not in my house but otherwise I have no idea if he's civ like me or not.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 11:15 pm There's gotta be a statute of limitations on spoilers lol these books are like 20 years old. Juliets were you saving Harry Potter for some special occasion? :o

Yes I was saving the last two books for when I'm old and immobile, which pretty much describes my life right now so I guess I should go ahead and read them!

because I didn't know!!

but I'm mostly kidding because I can't expect to play a game called Hogwarts and not be spoiled.

And yes I know you put it in spoiler tags - I just automatically clicked on it thinking it wasn't really a spoiler, it was more likely a joke, lol.
This is like the internet's ultimate and most widespread meme for obvious spoilers.

So people kind of expect others to have heard the sentence. Apologies.

Oh I'm not mad or even upset! I just couldn't resist yanking Epi's chain, and I really didn't know what happened to Dumbledore. I have avoided info on the last few books thinking I would read them someday. There is absolutely no need for apologies! I laughed when I read it.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 4:57 pm The story behind my Pottermore patronus is even more personal and sad and happy and cute than the story behind my knowledge of the books lol.
For anyone who wants to cry tonight or who wants a peek behind the Kayfabe of my mafia-persona.

Spoiler: show
For context, a "Patronus" is essentially the embodiment of a happy memory that wizards use to either fight Dementors (who feed off negative energy, fear, sadness, bad memories, etc) or sometimes they can be used to send messages or w/e. They usually take the form of an animal. Anyway...

So a few years (Like 8 or 9) ago I had this dog, some of you might remember from IRC chats or w/e. Fat Beagle that we got literally on a whim outside some gym or family/fitness center where they had a bunch of dogs they were looking to get adopted. This dumbass literally walks right up to me. I walk him up the sidewalk for a bit and then we both get tired and I sit down to pet him but he lays his head on my lap like a jerk. Hoo do I not love this guy and take him home lol.

Anyway he'd sleep with me every night and like, right up on my legs he'd curl up like a puzzle piece and fit right in there. Every night.

Then when he passed 4-5 years ago I got all torn up about it. And I dunno when the Pottermore site added the Patronus thing where you can go on there and answer some questions and it'll show you your Patronus with a little animation and let you play with it and watch it move on the screen or w/e but I remember thinking "You know what fuck it" after seeing everyone posting about it on Twitter so I go and answer the questions and I remember distinctly thinking "If this fucking website tells me my Patronus is a beagle I'm going to cry my face off" and sure enough the site said my Patronus was not just a dog (there were several types of dogs I saw other people have on Twitter so I know its not just "Dog" or "cat" or "bird") but I got a beagle.
Anyway that's why I believe in magic.

I remember that dog DH and how sad it was for you and your family and then for us on IRC when it passed. And how ironic that your patronus was a beagle. Now there is Storm and I hope he is doing well and I'm sure he is loved by the whole family, though I know he can't replace the one thats passed. Good story.

It's all true. This town prides itself on featuring the highest density of bars-per-square-mile in the nation, and at the epicenter of that tonight will be live music, thousands of devils, harley quinns, and ninja turtles, and roadside puke painting every curb.

That sounds disgusting but have fun. Try not to add to the puke.

Thanks DH, and I also had no idea what Pottermore was.

I have an awesome awesome house of players!

I think the first book was my favorite because everything was new and unique. And truth be told I never got around to reading or seeing the last couple of books/films (I know, I should). So now I just have to look up which book was first (its been a long time).
