Harry Potter Mafia 2 - GAME OVER!

[Hagfy]

Alright, well, unFOS: referee for now. I figured you were around here somewhere, but I thought everybody should at least check in here. Uraj is probably around too, no? Maybe he's too busy with his shady dealings to stop by. And I still just really don't trust this Robinson character. Am I the only one who feels this way? Can anybody offer some insight regarding our absentee acquaintence??

And thanks again TCM. I figured that putting my thoughts out there would be better, so we could all work this out as a sort of town-collective. If it would be in the town's best interests for me to shut up, then let me know.

Also, thanks to TCM, I am more conviced of LML's normality. However, I do think this could easily be used in his favor if he were scum.

[Quailman]

Let's send him to Azkaban if he doesn't want to participate.

unvote: Hagfy; vote: Robinson

[dybeck]

Maybe he just needs a nudge?

unvote: Mgm, vote: Robinson

[cballs]

unvote robinson vote uraj lets get em both in the game

[Mgm]

[Hagfy]

Just a random thought I had... is it possible to have a player who doesn't speak? I saw Mgm pull it off (very well) with Teller, but is there a Harry Potter character who can't speak? Also, might it be possible that someone has some kind of spell on them, causing them to have no voice? I know Uraj has been around, but has not posted here yet... As for Robinson, has anybody ever dealt with him (or her) before?

[The Cheshire Man]

I know I don't recall a Robinson. It wouldn't be the first time a mod has created a shell account for another player.

The only thing I can think of that would keep someone from talking is a curse that makes them vomit slugs. But that would be graphic enough to include in the morning update post, wouldn't you think?

...take that as you may.

Well, I say follow the Yellow Bandwagon Road. unvote: cballs, vote Robinson until he appears

[Hagfy]

Yeah, I thougth about that after the fact... something like that would probably still show that he is around, but can't speak, like a brutal cop after-effect. Also, I don't think Robinson is a shell account. I had checked out the creation date and all, and it doesn't seem likely... however, I didn't think until after that maybe I'm not supposed to do that? Can anyone tell me whether that is unacceptable?

So... vote: Robinson to hopefully entice him to post.

I'm still interested in a possible non-speaking character though... at least until somebody who has actually read the book(s) and/or seen the movie(s) can say there isn't one. Or at least not a likely one. That will quell my curiosity.

[Hagfy]

Oh, simulpost. I guess that answers my question then?

[LoudmouthLee]

Hold on. Let's calm down on the Robinson train here.

He has a title... so I would wait to seem if he shows up. I will tell you this. NOT A SHELL.

[referee]

Can we have a vote count please?

A possibility for not talking characters would be animals... Hedwig, Crookshanks, Scabbers... (Scabbers was really an animagus), I don't know if mod would add those characters. However, mods don't cease to amaze me, so I'd say it's a definite possibility.

I just read through the entire Q1 thread from two years ago.

Talk about a classic.

If Robinson should decide to grace us with his presence, perhaps we could coax him into telling us a story?

[Mgm]

I think spells that stop someone from posting are a likely possibility.
"Stupefy" anyone? But I would have expected something in the day's opening post about that.

Apart from a few animals I can't remember any non-speaking characters.

I think Robinson simply forgot to post. He's been away a long time, and it takes a few hours playing to regain the addiction.

[Bayard]

[LoudmouthLee]

Bay with a darn good point.

D'oh! I already have him voted. Let's hear that answer, TCM. That may be worth a bandwagon if he doesnt feel like responding.[/b]

[The Cheshire Man]

You're kidding me, right? Because if you investigated me, you would know I was innocent and wouldn't be voting for me. I thought it was pretty obvious.

Unless of course, you're mad or paranoid. But I can't think of any Rowling-esque situations where you would be. The simplest answer is that you are simply not a cop, or that if you were, you investigated someone else and found them innocent, which is why you were wasting time with me instead.

If you had claimed to be a cop, I would have claimed my role and gotten you lynched. Or gotten me lynched, but then they would have lynched you the next day anyway. I figured a 1 for 1 trade this early in the game would be good for the town, especially since we're already short one mafia. Some people would disagree with me.

Such are my deductions.

Bayard, if it was only a hunch, why didn't you FoS me instead of voting me? And what exactly is it that you want to know? For someone with only a hunch, you seem intent on getting someone lynched as quickly as possible.

Does this game contain only characters form the fifth book?

Sir Cadogan is in the third book. He was on the painting instead of the Fat Lady because she was attacked.

If the mafia's only based on the fifth, then that giant in the woods could have a post restriction.

[Bayard]

[Dmi]

Unvote Bayard

[Mgm]

Unvote: Uraj, vote: TCM You are way too defensive to be innocent, especially when the bandwagons are aimed at the silent people.

I agree, the giant could be post restricted.

[The Cheshire Man]

Mgm, the only response to an accusation that can't be called "way too defensive" is to ignore it.

I could try and respond to these posts, but I'd just be repeating myself. I will point out that Bayard (unwittingly?) second-voted me, as LML had already random-voted me; that Bayard did so, with no concrete reason given, as soon as I opened my mouth, convincing Leo to follow him, perhaps under the erroneous notion that Bayard was a cop; that I don't see how I'm acting any more defensive than, say, LML or Bayard; and that I've already answered all other complaints. If anyone has concerns about something concrete, rather than "You're too defensive," or "I have a bad feeling about you," I'd be happy to discuss them. Otherwise, I intend to use the response outlined above.

Bayard doesn't know me, and Leo always bandwagons, nothing special about me. But LML and Mgm should know better by now. FoS: LML and Mgm.

Unvote: Uraj. I'll sit on this vote for now.

As for the giant in the woods, distinct possibility.

TCM, if you are innocent, I don't see any hard in a bandwagon for a claim... I'll be happy to unvote.

There's a lot of harm in me claiming my role, LML. I'll claim if you make me. But most of you will wish you hadn't.

Right now I'm waiting for Jedo to get back to me. I had a question about my role.

Fongul, TCM. Metagaming already. I'll unvote: TCM and just manage an FoS: TCM for now.

Ugh.

[Kagredon]

Wow. That was...chaotic.

Lockhart would be my guess for an incompetant cop. Especially now that he's...uh, well, less than sane.

I'm still waiting for Robinson.

[Digit Ne]

Lockhart for an insane cop seems a wildly good idea.

TCM, I noticed your post too. And while it's a bit suspicious, it's too early for you to be getting cocky, I think. Though it should also be too early for you to be getting that defensive...

[dybeck]

Lockhart seems great for incompetent doc - Harry spent a night in the hospital wing after he tended to him.

As for a paranoid cop - Moody anyone? It's stated time and time again that he's paranoid!

[dybeck]

And by the way, robinson only posted once since Aug 2003, and that was to sign up for this game. I think he might be permanently absent. I certainly don't think I buy the idea of a non-talking role anyhow.

[Dmi]

I doubt Moody would be a cop. Aurors go out and kill in the book. He's probably a vig IMO.

[dybeck]

I don't recall the Aurors ever killing anyone at all! To my knowledge they round them up and put them in Azkaban. And besides, if the aurors and ex-aurors aren't the cops, who would be?

LmL said:

[Dmi]

Sirius Black is pretty curious. Hard to keep him indoors, so maybe he goes out to invesitgate.
Harry, Ron, and Hemione find out a lot of things in the books.

[Dmi]

Oh, and wouldn't locking people up be the same as killing them, since you can't escape from there?

[The Cheshire Man]

Ah, but you can. Almost as soon as Azkaban was mentioned, people started escaping from it. First Sirius Black, then Mad-eye Moody's impersonator. The island might as well have a revolving door.

I like Moody as an information role. That eye of his, that looks where it will and sees through things. The aurors don't kill people indiscriminately, Mad-eye Moody least of all.
