Werewolf XXI - Werewolf goes to Hollywood - Game Over!! Death Eaters win!!

[dubb93]

I'm not about to vote for you this early Blade. You are too valuable to the team, and I've learned to trust your outrageous claims, just usually I have a feel where you are coming from. I'm having a hard time seeing where all of this info could be attained on day 1.

[Lathum]

Perhaps he has a role like a "teacher" and he is privy to who the students are and if they have any special powers etc...

As i said, some has been stuff i have picked up on and some was learned from the time i got my role through night 0 to now...some is dead sure and some is not(i have attempted to differentiate). I felt i made a mistake in a few early comments discussing links to other players and worry that will get me killed tonight since neon should be protected. Due to this, im attempting to share all info i have, or info i think i might have...sorry if im confusing you, i just dont know if ill make it far(which would be ok, as this game id be happy to sacrifice myself to keep the key roles safe...im trying your whole team over self thing lol )

[Barkeep49]

Well this has been a bit of a bitch to do. Frankly, I'm going to be very happy when there are fewer players or I'm dead. I think it's going to be worth it in the long run as voting records are more important then ever. Plus, as always, it's given me a couple of suspects which is nice.

For those who don't know bold is a vote that was later unvoted. Underline and italics is an unvote. Also note that I think I'm going to put in things that majorily effect the day, such as in this case Neon's reveal.

I figure clearing good guys would be a good thing, especially not people like the seer so they kill the tie-breaker and not the bloody seer....but neon made that decision for them

[Desnudo]

If we're keeping score, the reason I voted for Grammiticus was because he voted for me. I then switched to Qwik once I read through the posts beyond my original vote.

Edit: and saw that it clearly made sense to vote for Qwik.

[Desnudo]

Dola,

I'm with Dubb, is there any way of speeding up the night action cycle? A full day seems like a long time. Thanks.

[saldana]

i will process the night as soon as everyones actions are in, but i am not moving the next day deadline forward, especially with this many people still in the game, i want to make sure everyon has a chance to get their votes in.

[Desnudo]

Cool, thanks. I don't want to seem like I'm griping, it's just that the night cycle is usually the slowest part of the game for the majority.

[Raiders Army]

Holey shiznit. 9 pages???? Last time I checked it was 5 pages!

Good job all!

And neither one of us is dead!

[Grammaticus]

So, can anyone list ALL of the schools at Hogwarts? I've never read any of the books, only saw 2 of the movies. I don't know a whole lot about HP.

The only one i remember from the movies is Griffendorf (spelled and sounds something like that, I'm sure I did not get it exactly right).

Oh, I was here thinking night ended 9:30am, woops. Teach me to read closer. Guess another 12 hours to see what happens tonight!

Legilimens

From the Latin root "lego," meaning "to gather, collect, pass through, read."

This is a practice very similar to Muggle mind-reading, except the Legilimens actually explores another's mind and sees the memories stored there. A skilled Legilimens can target the memories that are most hurtful, causing the most pain or fear and use that knowledge to manipulate the person whose mind they have entered.

Man, I went out for the night and we managed to nail a Death Eater on our first shot. Great work Neon! That helps even out the odds considerably...

Based on Blade’s post earlier about schools teaching young wizards certain things, I thought there may be schools of magic that give us some clue as to what types of special abilities may exist. I cannot tell much from these.

[JeeberD]

Every powerful dark wizard has come out of Slytherin, so it has a reputation for the Dark Arts...

[saldana]

would you belive there are still night actions missing i really wanted to run the night as soon as i got up. i realized last night after i signed off that dubb and desnudo were right and this should only have been a 12 hour cycle...my game calander got screwed up because we changed the length of day 1.

Does that mean the books are anti-ambition?

Dude, I'm not sure anything will help you there. From what I remember, those are the houses of Hogwarts...sort of like fraternities. They're not really "schools" in the tradditional sense.

The evil characters seem to come from Slytherin.

[KWhit]

Blade, you have me very confused. Mainly because I don't know what stuff you're claiming to "know" based upon your role and what stuff you're guessing at.

Ditto.

Truthfully, he's acting a bit like I did last game.

[Barkeep49]

I rather think the descriptions of the houses go rather more like this:

Gryffindor, fool hearty daredevils
Hufflepuff, nice doofuses
Ravenclaw, nerds and geeks
Slytherin, evil

Anyhow I hope that people get their night actions in soon so that we can catch our next death eater.

Or, according to the Sorting Hat...

"You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.."

"You might belong in Hufflepuff, where those are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuff's are true and unafraid of toil."

"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind."

"Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends."

[Raiders Army]

Regardless, I think the issue of houses vs. schools is confusing some people. There is one school: Hogwarts. There are houses within the school, but everyone takes the same curriculum.

Jeez, I'm discussing some fake school in a fake country.

[JeeberD]

England is a fake country?

[Poli]

Yep.

These are what i was talking about, nothing about the 4 houses

[JeeberD]

Flying isn't really a class...there was a single lesson for first years, but that's it.

I repeat this...i know i have acted off base, but i had a goal on day one and it wasnt achieved. While in the process of day one i said some things(prob. pre day one) i shouldnt have said yet, and i expect to die rather soon. Due to this im talking about everything i know or suspect

I dont think that is in this game, but you know occumulency is in this game due to rule set, and i know another on that list is in the game secretly...so from that i assume more then those 2 are at play as roles

[Superman=#54]

Nice job chaps...

My first time checking in since sign-up day. My silence is not part of any devious plot, I was just busy with classes.

[Lathum]

Blade, do you have some sort of dark detection device like a sneakoscope ? Did you fall into a pensive by any chance?

[saldana]

ok, it is 1:10 right now, if i havent heard anything from the missing night roles by 2pm, i am going to resolve the cycle and start day 2. are there any objections to this....what time do people want to end day 2...i dont really like ending it in the morning, but 32 hours is a REALLY long day.

[dubb93]

sneakoscope?

[Lathum]

dola

I think people need to ignore the "house" aspect. There is nothing in the books that indicate people from each house posess powers unique to there house. The only exception would be speaking parsletounge, which is snake language and that is very rare usually only slytherin's posses it.

I think we are barking up the wrong tree with the "house" discussion.

sounds good let's keep it moving. With so many people we're bound to lose a few anyhow

[Passacaglia]

I thought my point was based on that. I mean, if all the Dark wizards come from this school which focuses on ambition, are the books making some sort of comment about the evil of ambition?

How about end the next day phase at 9:30pm EST. That would make it a seven and one half hour day cycle.

i think that is too short.

[Desnudo]

That's fine with me. There's been plenty of time to get in night actions.

I agree with this. Classes, yes, per Blade that should be looked at. I don't think the houses come into it based on the ruleset.
