Hogwarts Mafia - END

[insertnamehere]

Alright, I'm now caught up.

Most of the Day so far has just been two different squabbles over semantics. The whole Epi-Juliets thing has been more or less baffling in its scattershot legitimacy. It's the kind of thing that JJJ usually pushes, except with less actual substance, which makes me a tad sus of JJJ. Then there's the whole Owner/DH thing. It definitely feels like Owner is stuck replaying Firefly, while the rest of us are playing a new game. This regression could be scummy or not, depends on what else Owner decides to bring to the table. So far, I ain't impressed.

I'm going to have essentially zero time until Tuesday night or Wednesday. While I'm not here y'all best find excuses to do work and not excuses to do fuck all. Epi's recent grumbles are valid.

[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:

juliets and I are not teammates.

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.

"LIKE!"

[insertnamehere]

This sounds like a bullshit act to me.

"Owner and Helper" sounds like a kinky category of fanfic that I don't want anywhere near me but anyway I can see it

"LIKE!"

[insertnamehere]

I respect you, but that doesn't mean I'll stop being critical of you.

Seems like you're constantly and exclusively critical of me, but hell I've got pretty thick skin I'll be fine. Anyway good luck with that I guess.

JJJ seems alright. I want to look at Quin. Epi is null. Speedy, I'm slightly worried about.

I think yourself, JJJ, nova, and poutanko are the players I feel like I might have some meta on.

PLAYER SALAD! Great catch, and an even greater image used. Took me a sec, at first I thought the women represented the accused players laughing at the accuser. Which was fun too.

Player salad is a proven finder of baddies. Even the last game I was in, I accused Luna of it, and she was bad.

Ah, yes, Player Salad! That mafia term that we all definitely know/remember the definition of. But, y'know, just for shit and/or giggles, could you please define that term?

Agree

Spoiler: show

I feel different than I did in the game you scum read me, but you scum read me in this game as well.

Yay!! You actually understood me. That is correct.

Yes, it might be weird to some, but I guess I'm waiting for you to do something to prove me wrong. I can't explain what that is, but I'll know it when I see it...if it even happens though, which it might not.

Pretty sure Owner is town.

mmm I guess I agree looking at that post again

Nutella, you're agreeing with me too much, and it's starting to weird me out.

You're my other head bby Unless you're bad but I have an excellent history of catching you when you are so don't worry

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

Or in my mind, both relate to the one who isn't to be named. The Deathly Hallows wouldn't exist without the dark arts I think.

I didn't read this book.

Feel like you're trying to overexplain here. Why else would you make up that connection? The Deathly Hallows have nothing to do with Voldy, nor were they created using Dark Arts. Nor are they used with Dark Arts.

I didn't read the books and only saw the final movies once. How much do you retain on your first viewing of a movie?

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

This really looks like Owner both is scum and has a Deathly Hallow and got mixed up cause it was altogether in their role card.

It's also possible that they're just confused because the ruleset is really confusing.

Could you walk me through how this makes sense to you?

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

A bit more, befor I have to run. I'm liking the chatter for q day 1. Day 1 has always been weak for me, so im glad some players are so good at getting it going.

I asked Owner if he's played with DH before, don't think he answered? If I did, owner, please shoot out.

Only once, if memory serves, I assume DH hasn't played elsewhere or played under another name.

[Owner of a Lonely Heart]

Also, what's a Player Salad? This terminology is new to me.

lol I retained almost nothing of the HP movies. Thanks for clarifying.

Depends on the movie though.

Okay, so reading owner's iso, I'd say he really and oddly blindered onto DH very early, and for what seems like entirely prev-game reasons. This allows him to talk a lot about suspicions towards sh, but without having to defend anything he says because, hey, is based on last game. And when pressed about it, he just versions of iunno I just feel it...

This can be a baddie move, but it can also just be blindering which ive done in the past. Those who know owner well, do you get any kind of alignment read from this angle?

Sadly, I can read this post both ways. Slight town maybe if I try to not be paranoid. I guess I'm debating if you would question others about how to read me or if you would just come to a conclusion yourself.

It's new to everyone.

A few games ago, we found a new scumtell. Scum players, in order to look productive, throw out some reads on other players. Not everyone, but also nobody specific. Nothing substantial, and little to follow up on. Just some light poking at some of the names in the thread, in a way that looks like it's generating content.

Something similar to that. I haven't seen it defined that well, but we've caught scum with it.

The smattering of player reads without substance was coined as 'player salad' by someone.

Depends on the movie though.

I played the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban PC game a bunch. I have probably seen the first 5 movies the most. What I remember from the movies 6 and up, take with a grain of salt. If memory serves, I watched the Deathly Hollows thing back to back.

So...I haven’t finished reading the setup.

Convince me to change my vote.

I wouldn't say it's new or just a few games ago. It's been part of common syndicate parlance for at least a year methinks.

I kind of do this, but usually, I have some reasoning for the reads I give, even if I don't say it. Mostly, I have the coffee/excuse tell. And the mind meld tells to go by.

Sure thing!

Basically, if a Death Eater had a Deathly Hallow, it would appear on their Role Card after all of their normal abilities. In the rules, the Deathly Hallow follows after the Dark Arts explanations, so it would be easy to confusedly think that Deathly Hallow was related to Dark Arts.

After you explained that you're not quite familiar with the Deathly Hallows, I think it's more likely that you're just confused. Which is perfectly fine, since "Deathly Hallows" is a confusing name to begin with. Thanks Rowling.

It's not a regression. It is potentially a meta thing.

Would you trust other people who have played with DH over a ton of games and have seen him as both scum and civ if they were to tell you that you were barking up the wrong tree with your meta characterization of him?

[DharmaHelper]

Thank you Owner for proving more thoroughly than I have ever been able to do that "meta" is a made up buzzword that means nothing and is nothing.

If inh is a vampire, the word "meta" is garlic or sunlight

Dh too lol

Probably not on DH cause I'm stubborn, but I am trying to take some leaps in faith elsewhere. I would probably need to do a meta dive in past scum DH game to change my mind. Luna and Colin, I might listen to, but I like having proof.

That idea for catching scum has been around for years plural, its something I called people out for successfully several times. I just didn't think it had a name lol.

Well I guess the real question is, what would someone who has barely played for years do in trying to read a player he doesn't know, but ask about them? And beyond that, where would an alignment tell be? Which brings me back to you talking a whole lot but really saying nothing much at all...
