Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
i was less talking about the number of kills and moreso the possibility of there being a ?self-seemer? on the mafia team.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:05 amSeemers are typically opposite, i.e. mafia members who flip as civilians. Death millers, or civilians who flip as mafia, are very rare (and on many sites considered outright bastard roles). The exception around here is the forger, which can specifically select a civilian to appear as a mafioso when killed. That'd have to mean though that a forger and a vigilante targeted the same person in only two night phases, barring an even more convoluted theory in which the mafia team can slaughter four or five players in two nights, one or two of whom was forged.
It strikes me as absurd.
A serial killer is more believable just because it's an ordinary role, but I was under the impression the setup was purely civilian versus mafia (Hogwarts students versus New Death Eathers). That's what the setup says.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Alright, fuck it. I've been hesitant because I suspect that there is a counterpart to me in the game and I didn't want them to freak out and identify themselves. I'm an odd night vig. I tried to kill bullz night 1. I never considered that I hadbeen blocked, but I saw a kill that didn't happen and a dead BAD nova. I interpreted from the items and spells that bullz must have had the thing that lets you bounce night actions to someone else and he hit nova with it. I further concluded that if bullz was bad he obviously wouldn't have done that. It was the only thing that made sense.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 1:58 amIf there is even a single reason to believe in this stuff, then it needs to be stated clearly. It would define the entire civilian approach to the game. I have no clue whatsoever why we're talking about this. It's bonkers.
In light of this I could for him.
After realizing I had been blocked I assumed that the mafia had targeted bullz instead because nova was obviously not their target, and somehow nova was dead, and I hadn't killed anyone.
But then another night goes by and another dead baddie ave iI and well hey there is probably an even night version of me and they succeeded yay them.
But now this what if they aren't bad idea, and THEN I realize wait, who the fuck has the second kill night 1 if it wasn't me? And here we are... there must be a third killer of some sort.
But now I'm totally exposed, which sucks, but it's really my own doing.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Like we are playing a game in which the basic rules are that our ability to remove bad guys is via lynching and the ability for bad guys to remove us is via night kills. The current scenario flies in the face of this. If I was on a Mafia team that had two killed on day 3 by civilian vigs and zero lynched I would be questioning the balance.
Not to mention it's a Harry Potter themed game and the bad guys are fucking death sorcerers to boot so don't tell me fucking with the flips isn't flavour possible.
Serial killer that kills each night and their kills always have the dark mark on them? Maybe the serial killer is Voldemort himself given the Mafia are "New Death Eaters" ie. which flavour doesn't make sense to have Voldemort on said team.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
It's not that far-fetched that a Civ vig kills baddies the first two nights. Like, it doesn't happen often, but that doesn't mean we can just assume it never happens.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:17 amJeez that's a leap of logic.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:16 amWhy are you acting like it's impossible for civilians to do things right?MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:11 amSince when do we have two dead Mafia on day 3 with zero having been lynched?

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
I understand your uncertainty. Having played a game on Naruto Forums (DDL's first home) and observed a couple of others, I think I can state that a veritable slaughter driven by civilian vigilante(s) is not terribly unlikely. They love to kill each other over there in as many ways as possible, and DDL brings that influence here as a host.timmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:12 am Alright, fuck it.

An extraneous killing source is possible given what you've described for Night 1 and the three deaths on Night 2. That doesn't mean any of them are false flips though. I just plain don't think so.

Jay already asked me what I thought was most possible and I answered that a mix of all outcomes is probably most likely. I never said it was impossible for them to be vig kills. I just offhandedly shared my fucking doubts about it. Would you prefer I keep my theories to myself? Because I was doing that before and got criticised for that too.

The false flip thing was just an outlandish theory of mine. I shared with you an outlandish theory and it's apparently unacceptable to do so. Okay fine. I will play the game your way.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Your theory, if wrong, could be dangerous. Make us doubt the lynches, disrupt the logic we glean from them. That said, I'm fine with outlandish theories.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:24 am The false flip thing was just an outlandish theory of mine.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
So Mac, what I'm telling you is that there was no vig kill night 1. So who killed a bad nova? That's my issue. Both nights, multiple kills. Both nights, dead baddies. But NOT both nights vig killa so who killed them. And if it is someone unknown is it just weird odds that their kills were bad?

Serial killers also don't generally kill quiet players from what I can glean. Mafia sometimes do but not serial killers.timmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:27 am So Mac, what I'm telling you is that there was no vig kill night 1. So who killed a bad nova? That's my issue.

But, for that kill to have been outright a civilian I would need to believe that the town has three vigilantes, two of which hit Mafia.
That would need some powerful (or numerable) Mafia roles to counteract it no?
Night 1 - You vigged, someone else used a vig and the serial killer kills on even nights maybe? I dunno.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 1
In which I review poutanko, who has enjoyed a cushy soft cloud of a game to this point
This post is idle commentary on thread events and contains no stances taken. The highlighted Owner bit comes close to being a stance, a civilian read based upon a difference from a previous mafia performance, but it is diminished with a prompt caveat of "weird tho", which itself is further qualified with "but she's always weird". I am annoyed at myself for not noticing this language until now, because it's icky.
Questions are nice, but their value is determined by follow-up should it exist. I'll see as I review the ISO here.
I like the way poutanko presented her positive read on Colin here, in that it sort of suited its own description -- concise, clear, and without filter.
poutanko's questions for me turned into a small Thing, so there was follow-up at least in that discourse. I don't feel like sharing all of it, but here's a link if you care, dear readers. Her concern on karavalenge reflected my own pretty closely -- blatant scumminess that is more concern for a brand new player than for a veteran.
This is a negative assessment of INH, though it isn't stated clearly as a suspicion. The negativity is itself rather "guarded", as poutanko described INH himself. That's not my favorite thing.
I thought this whole angle of investigation looked pretty natural. This amounted to numerous other posts, including those in which she gave me crap for forgetting myself and my Bullzeye vote.
~~~
[mention]poutanko[/mention], you can address the first point I made which is a bit poopy. Generally though I think she looks fine. Okee dokee.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Yes, that's true. My bad, probably due to the fact that we usually don't get nightkilled alignments. BUT I think the point stands - important game-logic comes from flipped dead folk. A general doubt about the validity of flips could radically change what logic we choose to believe.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:28 am How could it make you doubt the lynches?

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Going to bed now, but one thing to add: there was a recent game (Mega Man, right?) where inactive Civs were a major hit to the Civ chance for victory. Maybe the killer of quiet players is a Civ who played that game and is saying "not this time!".MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:31 amSerial killers also don't generally kill quiet players from what I can glean. Mafia sometimes do but not serial killers.timmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:27 am So Mac, what I'm telling you is that there was no vig kill night 1. So who killed a bad nova? That's my issue. Both nights, multiple kills. Both nights, dead baddies. But NOT both nights vig killa so who killed them. And if it is someone unknown is it just weird odds that their kills were bad?
But, for that kill to have been outright a civilian I would need to believe that the town has three vigilantes, two of which hit Mafia.
That would need some powerful (or numerable) Mafia roles to counteract it no?
Night 1 - You vigged, someone else used a vig and the serial killer kills on even nights maybe? I dunno.
Nite nite.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
I don't trust what people in this game look like when they flip dead off a night kill specifically because it's a Harry Potter themed game.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:33 amYes, that's true. My bad, probably due to the fact that we usually don't get nightkilled alignments. BUT I think the point stands - important game-logic comes from flipped dead folk. A general doubt about the validity of flips could radically change what logic we choose to believe.MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:28 am How could it make you doubt the lynches?
I am questioning the flips of the dead, which quite frankly we don't usually get on TS anyway.
Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
Owner always make weird posts regardless her alignment (which makes it hard to read her early) but on the games she's scum (2 games out of 3 I remember playing with her), she didn't tunnel. She would go after her sus but not to the level she did to DH here.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:32 am In which I review poutanko, who has enjoyed a cushy soft cloud of a game to this point
Spoiler: show
This post is idle commentary on thread events and contains no stances taken. The highlighted Owner bit comes close to being a stance, a civilian read based upon a difference from a previous mafia performance, but it is diminished with a prompt caveat of "weird tho", which itself is further qualified with "but she's always weird". I am annoyed at myself for not noticing this language until now, because it's icky.

Questions are nice, but their value is determined by follow-up should it exist. I'll see as I review the ISO here.
Spoiler: show
I like the way poutanko presented her positive read on Colin here, in that it sort of suited its own description -- concise, clear, and without filter.
Spoiler: show
poutanko's questions for me turned into a small Thing, so there was follow-up at least in that discourse. I don't feel like sharing all of it, but here's a link if you care, dear readers. Her concern on karavalenge reflected my own pretty closely -- blatant scumminess that is more concern for a brand new player than for a veteran.
Spoiler: show
This is a negative assessment of INH, though it isn't stated clearly as a suspicion. The negativity is itself rather "guarded", as poutanko described INH himself. That's not my favorite thing.
Spoiler: show
I thought this whole angle of investigation looked pretty natural. This amounted to numerous other posts, including those in which she gave me crap for forgetting myself and my Bullzeye vote.![]()
~~~
@poutanko, you can address the first point I made which is a bit poopy. Generally though I think she looks fine. Okee dokee.

Re: Hogwarts Mafia - Day 3
This whole discussion has been quite a lot to digest. Here are my bullet points
- Not impossible to have a 3rd party killer, Or a 4th party or whatever.. Noteworthy in this respect is that we don't get "So and so was Killed by..." posts, we get "So and so was killed" posts.
- I don't see how the bad flips could be faked, flavor or otherwise. And I don't get what the point of faking NK flips would be. Lynch flips, maybe. NK flips? Nah son.
- Since nobody here really has a "role" we're just working off the kits that DDL gave us, claiming to have any powers or potions or spells, or to have been affected by such powers and potions and spells, is NAI in my book.

[mention]poutanko[/mention], I can see in your post history general trajectories and with them may come implied reads, but there isn't total clarity.
Who do you most trust?
Who do you least trust?
Multiple names per question would be super.

Would youMacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:15 am Like we are playing a game in which the basic rules are that our ability to remove bad guys is via lynching and the ability for bad guys to remove us is via night kills. The current scenario flies in the face of this. If I was on a Mafia team that had two killed on day 3 by civilian vigs and zero lynched I would be questioning the balance.
Not to mention it's a Harry Potter themed game and the bad guys are fucking death sorcerers to boot so don't tell me fucking with the flips isn't flavour possible.
Serial killer that kills each night and their kills always have the dark mark on them? Maybe the serial killer is Voldemort himself given the Mafia are "New Death Eaters" ie. which flavour doesn't make sense to have Voldemort on said team.

Any number of blocks, redirects, delays, etc could account for the kill fuckery.
