I will probably never agree with you on this and I need to figure out whether that's just based on our differing mafia principles or if has something to do with your alignment in this game. I'm trying not to read too much into it, but that Bridget lynch just felt so personal, and there was almost no remorse afterwards from the people responsible.

Well, to clarify, no, I feel no remorse for lynching Bridget. I think she wanted it, and she certainly got it.

For without the policy. convainc

Was this supposed to be a dick joke? I think this was supposed to be a dick joke.

You're a dick joke. THAT was a dick joke.

Can I help you?

So many doctors have asked her that. None could.

Roughly 20 minutes later she was here to make these comments but not to address anything game related as the lynch is coming closer to close time.

Since she was online and posting, I asked her again to take a look at my post as it's hard for me to respond to her initial request w/o having any answers to the questions I have.

This feels to me like avoiding actually talking about what her opinions are. Like she just threw some names out to look like she was hunting, but didn't want to discuss anything too in depth. I tried to give her a chance to elaborate more, but she has not done that. She has avoided doing that.

There's where my vote is going and that is why.

I'm voting for Rebecca.

Here's the post today where I really kinda started watching her.

Mary Eastey wrote:"So, if they are a baddie team, why don't they have an NK? And what about the fact that they are each head of houses, and all of the students are evenly divided between the houses? That has to mean something, right?"

This is speculation, but I think each of the teachers can recruit someone from their house to their team. They have to search for them every night. So yes, they may not have an NK, but I think that they could probably lower the amount of civvies drastically.

Those numbers don't make any sense. If every teacher recruited someone, and they are baddies, that would result in 12 baddies total. You're pushing things that aren't likely. Mafia teams have kills. You use not knowing the teachers alignment as a reason they are bad, but we don't have the alignment for any role, and there are no grounds to believe the teachers are bad (once again, I'd say Snape is a possible exception, perhaps some kind of solo baddie).

We KNOW that Lucius is searching for Draco each night. We don't know what happens if he finds him, but we do know neither he or Draco are anything that could be considered good people, and Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy are worse. You're trying to force role alignments that are consistent with a standard layout, not alignments that make real sense, and not alignments that are supported by what little we do have to go on.

She literally says that somehow, civvies are worse. If this isn't fear mongering, I don't know what is.

Big time.

This is suspicious to me. Kryssy seemed to be quite clearly talking about the characters and not the roles but Maret made this comment anyway. It wasn't exactly a one-off comment either. It's been highly discussed today. Why? Feels like Maret is revving her bandwagon engine and hoping everyone jumps on. (This is where Mary says "Bandwagons have engines?" and I say "Haven't they always? ")

Jennet Bierley wrote:Quiet day so far. Where is everyone?

Not going to rub my eyeball all up and down Jenn-e over this but it is a little weird that she says this but doesn't feel the need to add anything of substance herself. Not a huge deal but if it bugged her, why do the same thing that supposedly bugs you?

Margarethe Reinberg wrote:I'm checking in occasionally, waiting for Krystyna's response regarding why s/he said Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy were worse than Lucius or Draco. I was hoping s/he would have responded by now.

Krys-ice-baby answered 12 hours before this. Where were you? Right. Beating a dead horse. Got it. I've always been bugged by the "logic" of "I didn't like your answer, so you didn't give one".

JANIE-POO GETS HER OWN SEGMENT! HUZZAH!

I noticed something about Jane. 20 posts. Let's take a look, shall we?
(Quotes not verbatim to save space and avoid redundancy, feel free to look them up yourself if you want)

1 - OT
2 - Asks Agnes a question about what Agnes thinks. "Votes will be random"
3 - OT
4 - "I don't suspect you Agnes, thanks for getting the ball rolling" "I don't suspect Entjen for suspecting you, you could get lynched" "Votes will be random"
5 - *Randomizes and votes for the goodiest goody that ever did good * Whatta witch!
6 - OT
7 - "Glad the professors aren't baddies but they're not civvies either" (i.e. defining what it is to be an independent - k?) *quotes Bridget "Crazy Bones" Bishop* "Not sure what to make of that"
8 - "Agnes wasn't a DE" "We shouldn't assume DEs can't survive lynches" (not bad for your first shared opinion)
9 - Asks Bridget "Bad Witch" Bishop about what Bridgo thinks
10 - She doesn't like that Barbara and Jennet seem noncommittal - then proceeds to be noncommittal herself about them being noncommittal - Then asks them about what they think
11 - Asks Krys why she suspects Bridget "Bad to the Bone" Bishop, asks Entjen what she thinks (Entjen was pretty ridiculous in this quote, to be fair, but this is Jane's section), and asks Barbara to explain her suspicion of Bridget "Back dat up" Bishop
12 - Discusses weird Entjen (again, it will be covered in a different section) but barely gives any input of her own - if any, just responding to an overly defensive Enty
13 - Retracts her entire previous post and apologizes for it *lifts rug* *sweeps* (POOF! Dirt = Gone. Now THAT'S magic!)
14 - Somewhat OT post saying she doesn't agree with trying to figure out who is behind the sockpuppet
15 - Votes for Krys for voting for Bridget based on who she thinks is playing Bridget "Lynch me" Bishop but decides to state that, obviously, her opinion might change based on the lynch result
16 - *lists who missed the vote*
17 - Apologizes to Bridget "suicidal homicidal genocidal death defying maniac" Bishop for getting votes the way she did
18 - OT
19 - OT
20 - Asks Kath what she thinks, asks Krys what she thinks, and asks Jennet what she thinks

I feel like all she does is post OT, ask others questions, or talk in circles about current topics but never picks a side. She wants nothing to be held against her. I will hold that against her. Like my body - I don't really understand how that joke is supposed to work. I honestly don't see anything she has ever said as adding to the discussion, at least not intentionally. With slight exception going to the post in which she voted for Krys, she has never outright said she suspected anyone or anything. I hope I'm wrong about Jane. I so don't want her to be evil 'cause dat avatar.

While I'll keep my pom poms on the bench if a Slytherin gets lynched, I understand Kryscey's argument. She made a fantastic point at one point while defending herself against Maret's & Jane's endless questioning. Draco's role lists no secrets but we know Lucius searches for him every night. It is fair to assume characters don't outright have to say they have secrets to have secrets. On that topic, we know very little about what the baddies can do. Does anyone know what the curses listed in their roles might mean? Much appreciated.

"Next, Rebecca Nurse. I lean towards feeling ok-ish about her. We didn't get a reason for why she didn't vote though, so if there is one, or at least some acknowledgement about it, that would be good. Some helpfulness, asking questions, discussing suspicion. Don't see myself voting here today." A question for me? Aw shucks, you shouldn't have I was traveling and didn't realize I wouldn't have service where I was. I would have reluctantly voted Bridget. Hard not to when she was basically begging for it

Entjen Gillis wrote:Krystyna I def do not have btsc, and if I did, don't you think my posts would be a little more consistant
because I would have an idea what is going on from my btsc? I am all on my own here, and I really am just busy.
I can't speak for whether or not anyone saw it as snarky only how I did, but when I see things that way I would rather not get an attitude back which is why I chose to step away from it for the moment. We can argue that you did not take it the same way but everyone takes things differently.
I do think win conditions are important because people don't know what they need to be doing to win. I have played games where you are required to be alive at the end, and I have played games where you win if your team (civ, or bad) wins at the end regardless of if you are alive and or greatly changes how people play.
I'm sorry that you don't agree that there has been more discussions about roles and the like than suspicion. it seems like every time I check the thread there is talk about roles and whether or not a role can be good or bad based on the books and stuff like that. While I find it ok to talk about those things some I feel like some people may be pushing the conversation in that direction to steer the conversation away from talking about the players, so that when lynch time comes its a big clusterfuck of random suspicions coming out of the woodwork and a civvie will be lynched.
I don't think I am shrugging off responsibility for missing the vote. I hate missing votes, which although you don't know who I am, I will tell you it's not something I often do. I said it was my fault, and I don't know who I would've voted for because hindsight is everything and when you see the result its easy to say oh I would have done this or that. Point is, I didn't vote and I missed a lot of that discussion so I can't go back and change that and offer you up with a name just for the sake of naming someone

Starts with wifom, what can you really say about that?
I don't buy this "busy" stuff. To me, it feels like a cop-out when you always have time to say you're too busy to catch up but continue to find time to post anyway. You did that earlier in your argument with Jane. You made a lot of half-comments, said you needed to go back and double check things, and then said you weren't going to basically because Jane asked you to do just that. You can't give your opinion on Day 2 because you missed the vote? I hope me saying I suspect you doesn't make you refuse to post anymore

That's just rude. Lynch this woman!

Jennet questioning Krysty researching her suspects is odd because A) it makes sense for one to do that B) Krysty said she was going to earlier and C) I'm doing that right now PS. Is it weird to anyone else that Jennet and Barbara always seem to be on the exact same page as one another? Even going so far as to defending each other for no reason?

I don't understand Margaret's vote for Sarah. If you feel strongly about this, please clarify Margie.

I'll end my re-read with a little recap on Entjen. I think it's nearly undeniable that she is at least a little suspicious. However, for someone who never has time to catch up, she has the fourth highest number of posts so let's recap some highlights, shall we?

Entjen Gillis wrote:I think it's weird for her to have posted that she was pinged when there was nothing much on topic posted, but I am also not sure I want to lynch the first person trying to get the discussion on topic. On one hand, she could be legitimately trying to get discussion going, but the other option is she was trying to post on topic without committing to any actual suspicions. I'm looking forward to hearing these pings first

Left side of the fence. Right side of the fence. Left side. Right side.

Entjen Gillis wrote:Sorry not going to be around much today but I'm trying to keep up when I can. I don't really understand the Bridget thing. She seems like she is voting/playing weird and I see there has been some talk about that. I personally haven't had the time to read through everything to find the explanation yet.

I can't remember atm but there was someone Agnes asked me to look at before she died. I feel like it was Bridget as well, which doesn't do her any favors in my book (if it wasn't Bridget I want to look at whoever it was because something about that is sticking out to me)

Entjen Gillis wrote: First off I have read, i am just out so it's not so thoroughly as I would have liked.

Where did I say I don't remember anything about it? Or that I felt so strongly about it? I want to make sure it was Bridget's name before I condemn her, and since I didn't have time to go back when I posted it.
So to recap: snarky attitude has made me not want to read back. Not sure why you are being so defensive when I wasn't even talking about you. Is your teammate getting lynched?

Entjen Gillis wrote:Read through everything. I haven't had time to go back through the roles and everything to find the explanation that some seem to be eluding to. I don't have the roles memorized yet so it takes me a bit of back and forth to get a grasp on what is going on.

Ok here is why it seemed snarky to me. You take a couple of sentences of mine then at the bottom put something like "so to recap" you don't remember anything and the like. I fail to see why anyone needs to "recap" a couple sentences with a couple more. Everyone is fairly capable of reading them themselves.
It does scream of snark to me, and it's not that I don't want to sort through my own suspicions but when I take something as snarky I'd rather not try to sort through the posts at that time.

She'd by no means my top suspect but she does say some awfully strange things.

As much as I'd like to pull the players with low post-counts out of their hiding, there are 9 players with under 10 posts - I don't feel we're qualified to separate one from the rest of the pack. I just hope all civvies with low post counts know that they're only hurting the team.

Here's a ranking of my top suspects:
1. Jane
2. Maret
3. Jennet
4. Entjen

Here she asks for people to comment on said post:

It's so gross when you plabr your popcorn, Mary. Why can't you just eat like a normal person? You're embarrassing me!

Jane responds to her post. I respond to her post. I ask her some clarifying questions.

Here she responds that she's read Jane's posts but can't comment on them. And that she'll be back in about an hour after she eats to vote:

Rebecca Nurse wrote:Jane, I want to reply to your post but it will have to wait. Just know that I hate your response because I already liked you and it just made me like you even more - but it did nothing to dismiss my feelings that you are bad. I have to leave guys but I'll be back in an hour and a half or so to vote. I'll be voting for one of my four top suspects. I would prefer to vote Jane but I may be willing to slide down the list if it's between one of them and someone I don't suspect.

imagine those two posts were in the opposite order. :brickwall:

Sorry, I have no time to post before the deadline, so just dropping in to vote for Entjen.

I am sticking with Krystyna.

I'm voting Entjen Gillis

Krystyna Ceynowa was running late for her History of Magic class.

‘I feel no remorse for lynching Bridget. I think she wanted it, and she certainly got it’ she kept telling herself, but her nervously grinding/clenching her teeth and squeezing Bathilda Bagshot’s book under her arm seemed to suggest otherwise. As she was walking down the corridor, pairs of eyes were following her, judging her, weighing her every move.

‘What were you thinking?’ hissed Märet.

‘Do you really think there is such a thing as standard baddie behaviour?’ barked Alizon.

‘Well, I don’t know. But I didn’t expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition’ retorted Krystyna.

*JARRING CHORD*

Cardinal Ximenez: NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Krystyna confused: Uhm… I didn’t expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

*JARRING CHORD*

Cardinal Ximenez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges.

Cardinal Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit acts of witchcraft and heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'

Ximenez: That's enough. [To Krystyna] Now, how do you plead?

Krystyna: Innocent!

Ximenez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! *DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER* We'll soon change your mind about that!
*DIABOLICAL ACTING* Biggles! Fetch...THE CUSHIONS! *JARRING CHORD!*
Death by soft cushions it shall be!

… and it was.

Krystyna Ceynowa has been lynched. She was Michael Corner.

It is Now Night 3. You have 22 hours to send in your PMs.

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!

Awww damn. RIP Krystyna, I hate to see you go.

Hosts: thank you so much for the on-time posts you have been doing and great job on this post.

You "gave me (barely any) time" to post of mine that you seemed to agree with? Or at least weren't bothered by? :P Makes sense. I'm at work. Using my phone. A dick joke or two before I clock in I have time for. I always have time for a dick joke. I dont have time to make worthwhile posts about the game. I'm on break at the moment - since you need my minute by minute schedule. Don't be such a witch. :P

Not to eat Kath, until I could get my first break at work.

RIP, bud. I'm knew you used your witch powers for good. You will be missed.

Sorry Krystyna

No poll tonight?

shit sorry Krystyna :/

Dammit, RIP Krystyna.

RIP Krystyna. We have not been very good at this so far.

Rip Krystyna.

Wow 2 civ lynches and what could have been a Harry Potter night Kill night one. we need to get down to business and find some baddies.

I agree, and I will pull my weight Day 4. Substantial weight from too much cauldron cakes.

Also, is anyone else having trouble keeping all of you straight? It's a bit of an amorphous blur.

Damn! Sorry Krystyna, RIP.

Shit. :/

I'm sorry not sorry, tbh. Why be a douche to Sly-and-the-family-stone-erin, srsly?

I'm definitely having trouble. I may have to go back and take notes on every player to get them all straight.

I am not sure if this is meant to be sarcastic or jokey, so I'm going to take the high road and presume that you intended to be light hearted and jokey.

I was using the information available to me in the thread. This is the first I'd heard of you being at work or anything of the sort. The first time you left it was to eat and you said you'd be back in roughly an hour. Without knowing that there was work and being near a computer avalibility issues, how am I supposed to take your words and your posts other than how they appear in the thread?

You asked for opinions but the two people who commented on your request didn't get a second blink. It was drawing into the last hour and a half of a pretty tight lynch. Given the info I had at the time, that read to me like you were fishing for someone to latch onto a case so you could justify voting it.

And no, I don't need a minute by minute breakdown of everyone's schedule every second of the day but posting something like "I'm at work,...." "I'm on my phone,....." does help to factor in when someone's got avalibility issues. That's why I posted that I was on my way to work when I voted.

Ok - so I went back and found the post where you were stating you had to leave and would be back to vote. I'm sorry, I swore I read that you were going to eat. I do apologize for missing that part.

hi will catch up and post some thoughts, such as they are, later tonight during the witching hour.

Anne Redferne wrote:sorry to see you go krystyn

Likewise.

So, what does everyone else think happened? A lynch switch? Entjen is unlynchable? There were hidden or double votes somewhere?

Another note on the Day 1 lynch. There was a tie for second since Agnes was unlynchable, so no one died. However this time, Krystyna was an easy second, and so she died.

Goodbye Anne Whittle! And welcome, Anne Whittle!

Jennet it's possible there was some vote manipulation, but it did not seem like Entjen was worried at the end of the lynch despite being the top vote-getter, so I think there might be an explanation for what happened that does not involve hidden votes.

Jennet Bierley wrote:Another note on the Day 1 lynch. There was a tie for second since Agnes was unlynchable, so no one died. However this time, Krystyna was an easy second, and so she died.

What conclusions are you drawing with this statement? Just that vote manipulation could be at play? I agree it's a possibility, just not the likeliest possibility.

Jennet Bierley wrote: So, what does everyone else think happened? A lynch switch? Entjen is unlynchable? There were hidden or double votes somewhere?

I do not think it is likely that Entjen is unlynchable. Based on what happened before, I think that would have resulted in no lynch. It seems more likely that it was either a switch or hidden votes. Hard to tell with so many roles with secrets.

I was looking for a conclusion that I think you've provided. I missed that post from Entjen, so that looks to me very much like she is just an unlynchable, or has the ability to shift the lynch. Whatever it was, I would agree that it was in her control, whether it was proactive or reflexive.

Like I also said, there was a tie for second on Day 1, so that is why I believe no one was lynched. That is generally what happens, right?

I would guess it would be random or the choice of whoever was switching the lynch.

After the recent events, everyone was seriously shaken. One morning while having breakfast in silence with her peers, Jennet’s attention was caught by the owls that flooded into the Great Hall as usual, but this time a particularly large barn owl, dropped a small parcel in front of her, almost spilling half a bowl of porridge in her lap. Taking the light package in her hands, she noticed a small note attached to it: ‘DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE’. There was no signature. Jennet stared at the note. ‘What on earth could it be?’ She excused herself from the table and rushed to the dormitory. After checking if the coast was clear, she started to unwrap it. Something fluid and silvery grey went slithering to the floor, where it lay in gleaming folds. She grasped, picking the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material. She threw the Cloak around her shoulders and turned to look into the mirror. Jennet gave a yell as it was only her head suspended in mid-air that looked back at her.

‘Blimey! This is amazing!’ She had to try it, now. She pulled it over her head and headed out right past Mrs Norris, who stopped for a second sensing an odd draft, but then cat-shrugged and continued patrolling down the corridor.

Jennet felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest, the adrenaline filling every inch of her being as she got to the Entrance Hall and got out through the wooden doors and went straight to the Forbidden Forest. It was a gloomy morning, but the fresh air and the sense of freedom felt marvellous. She slid past Hagrid’s cabin and found herself at the edge of the Forest. Taking a deep breath, she let curiosity get the best of her, and went in. She didn’t have to walk for long, when suddenly she heard a rustle. It wasn’t the wind. She stopped. A cloaked figure appeared from behind the trunk of a large tree.

‘Are you lost, child?’ the hissing voice seemed to have frozen Jennet to the marrow of her bones, when she realised that her head was exposed and floating in the air.

‘You are just too easy. It almost takes away from the excitement. Alas! It saddens me I have to deal such stupid and pathetic creatures. No-one should mourn you! Actually, no-one will!’ he said again, laughing maniacally. He raised his wand:

‘AVADA KE…’
‘EXPULSO’

The hooded figure was thrown back, and before he could figure out what had just happened, he got up and was swollen by the darkness of the Forest.

Jennet turned around to see who save her.

‘Oh! It was you…’

Jennet Bierley has survived a night kill attempt from Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

It is now Day 4. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

And this just in: Agnes Sampson was Harry Potter.

Hmm...

Nice try death eaters :P

Can't say I didn't expect this though.

Stupid baddies.

Congrats on not dying Jennet.

@ Rebecca, I do still have my initial questions, so yea. That would be grand. Also, I wanted to say that I appreciate the clarity in tone. Part of me hates to admit how much I do rely on meta game experience to help me play, but I know that I'd probably have had less issue with tone or even timing if I had that stock bit of info I carry in my head about each of the players that I play with.

I'm glad that the life in the nit. I know, I know, like Lynch, what is out there, but I can't really say.

Night 3: Jennet’s Gift

Interesting, I wonder if this is a result of Hermione casting her spell? The role doesnt say that the results are made public...

Yay Jennet! At least we aren't losing folks at night. Except poor Harry, it appears Yet a part of me doesn't want to take that info at face value. I mean why are we just now being told? What would cause that to happen?

linki: Yeah it's possible Hermione is involved... but unless she checked Agnes night 1 and is somehow just now sharing the info, then it must have been a dead role check, which could be a different power, perhaps an unlisted one. Either way it's weird that we were told, that almost never happens in games, and I'm not sure whether I should trust it or not.

yay jennet,

well... the post is titled "jennet's gift" could it be that agnes' role reveal was related to jennet's survival somehow?

maybe that's stupid
