I see I've been getting quite the attention lately. Aww hell, let me get this out of the way now You see, I am no person rather, I am one of Harry Potter's Horcrux- The Half Blood Prince's Potion Book
In 2007, there was a crisis in the world of J. K. Rowling. Harry Potter had been a major hit. But would it be a fad? For the continued immortality of the franchise, our beloved headmistress had various solutions, for each of the 7 books: the Hallows, some Horucruxes, etc. I represent the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceNow I myself have been trapped in a cupboard for sometime. I don't know how many of us are left. There are rumors that a wizard by the name of Robert Gailbraith killed one of us. That the splitting of the world into two, regarding the 7th movie, destroyed the horcrux of the deathly hallows. I only know me for me, and I only know that I am inside this castle because I had always been. If I have brothers in the audience, or indeed, our original himself, I don't know WHAT??!! HARRY POTTER NEVER COMMITTED MURDER OR DARK MAGIC I hear you cry And you wouldn't consider the terrible murder of beloved Pooh murder? The Harry Potter franchise has committed a great many evils in this world. And you really think Dumbeldore willingly drank that potion that caused him so much suffering? Really? That version was so kiddied up it hurt It was HARRY THAT KILLED DUMBELDORE Or perhaps when Harry killed poor innocent Quirrel. Oh, not just Voldemort, no he HAD to kill Quirrel too. The poor man, he was simply coerced into such evil. He had a weak mind with which to fight Voldemort. Wouldn't any of you do the same as Quirrel? Now Harry wasn't constantly acting as a serial killer, which is why there aren't even a full 7 of us. But 6th book does represent his deepest, most malicious descent into darkness, as I hope you all remember Now for my power: 1-Shot Levicorpus- Roleblock one player 1-Shot Vulnera Sanentur - Stops someone from dying, but doesn't protect against dark magic. I fear our enemies have other forms of murder than a simple Avada Kedavra and finally 1-shot vig kill

I'm totally gonna make that claim even if I'm gonna claim a normal Mad-Eye Moody claim, maybe preface it with that being a joke
Because I worked on that claim before the game even started

Think I made the role too OP, but I wasn't sure whether it should just be a 1-shot vigilante kill or if I should make it more.

The hard part about my fake role claim is that I need something that explains my command (influence), explains why it sometimes doesn't work, AND explains why I don't use it every day. Your first override is going to be the only one you get away with.. Imo, a 2nd override should only be for a situation where we've reached an endgame situation as you outlined. Even if the following situation occurs: -Cop starts day off having caught you, no one has placed vote yet Don't vote for voldy and override. Maybe if we really need to get rid of a cop being protected by the doctor, but you would lead everyone straight to our hidden partner. OOOHH Hear is something that's an AMAZING idea. Get rid of the misfire part. Keep the "I'm too good of a wizard for that" part Now add something that would make you say "I think salva and nin might have lied in our role pms" And maybe casually bring it up today or tomorrow. Introduce the element of doubt in everyone's head Good idea, will do that. You know what would help? If I already talked about the possibility of salva and nin not telling the full truth in our role PM's and Salva reacted evasive..... www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=185170265&postcount=86

Any thoughts on my role claim?

Any thoughts on my role claim? Ehm, I am still at only the third movie, so flavour wise I have no idea if this makes sense or not Does the book talk? I think if the book talks this is a pretty good claim. Maybe remove the part about your protect not working against dark magic, makes it kind of useless. For the rest it is pretty good, it could help to explain it if a tracker/watcher were to see you visit someone to check their roles (you could just say you were protecting him). Also, your role isn't OP at all, don't worry about that.

If they claim I can try to live for up to two more days, one, with a claim, and two, with some fancy switcher lies or something Btw, what I said in the thread is very true: we should kill so that there's only one or two loud voices and a bunch of people that you can typically trust to be sheep

Maybe we use the poison on those type of targets and use our direct kill a bit more low key?

HE's another major believer in analyzing votes, and he might try to draw up a scum list based off of who is altogether too happy to bandwagon him

He might also try to be seeing who is intrigued or wants him to live

Ok, just going thouroughly explain my idea as to what is going on:
Rats is either telling the truth or trying a gambit right now
The truth: I think he is Lupin, the werewolf that randomly kills. This sort of hurts us and helps us. It removes an element of randomness for the night that threatens scum team. I'd really rather leave him be
Problems with this theory: no way eh shouldn't just role claim, town will consent to lynching him. Maybe he has a similar role that's a little tweaked, so whatever
The Gambit: He's lying (duh). I take this route as being far more likely.
Have a feeling that he's an ordinary trying to get vote analysis going. Seeing who will vote for him and stuff. I'm voting for him because I know about this and coming into it knowing about it and hinting at this fact. Now, I'd REALLY prefer we not all go down in the thread and act ith knowledge of this if it was just me guessing his gambit at first,but I just wanted you guys to know what I think Rats is doing.
What Rats is doing right now is likely analyzing all the votes and the reasons people are voting for him. At the end of the day, he will post his reads/vote analysis, giving town a foothold with which to work with. If he believes that I'm scum, I can defend myself the next day saying I knew what he was doing and was trying to help him in the process, which is why I placed the first vote on him to get the bandwagon going
I think that if we, as a scum team, choose to get on this bandwagon together, it ought to be sooner rather than later
Thoughts?

I guess he could also have an override that can only be used in the twilight phase when he's about to be lynched

I kind of screwed up by calling out Zipped.
In all likelyhood, he may be town with a strong power. I'm leaning towards poisoning him right now. I mean, I can't really think of why he would post what he did besides trying to not be a scum target.
edit: okay he's responding. Maybe not so bad after all.

Is there any chance Zipped is Voldemort? He's trying to tell us he currently has no power? Seems like a very bad way to do it...but just thinking.

Nah, he made a bad play there, saying he was ordinary. It may be that he's trying to WIFOM us (Wine in front of me: AKA Are you the type of person that would poison your own or the other person's drink if you gave me the choice), but too many players don't see that far ahead, even veterans, so you don't really have to worry about it

If I claim it will just be ordinary town. I'm in the unique position of only using my role once per game so the odds of getting caught are very slim.

I'm not entirely sure I believe the sample role given is the actual ordinary role, especially because of how magnum asked zipped for a specific name

I might need help coming up with a role alibi. Might be tough given my poisoner role though. If I'm investigated, I may be in dire straights. My only real goal now is to play a perfect townie and avoid doubt.

My only real goal now is to play a perfect townie and avoid doubt. honestly, you've done a good job looking town. what's nice about poisoner is that poison is typically used on strong, likely to be doctored roles, so any tracker or watcher might assume you're a doctor or some pr not all scum are going to be fine against different town prs, although i don't think you need to worry about an investigation

Just letting you guys know that the override ability is only going to be active after the first 12 hours of the day. I don´t want you jerks to break our game =P. I was planning on letting you guys be and have fun with it but some fine stranger raised some fine points and realized there is too many of you to let you do that. 12 hours should be still early enough for you guys to screw the town a day or two

The mods didn't balance for that adequately Whereas before I was assuming there would be many counters to that sort of strategy, now we know that there might only be some counters.

I'm not entirely sure I believe the sample role given is the actual ordinary role, especially because of how magnum asked zipped for a specific name I'm considering claiming ARABELLA FIGG, a squib. Seems a decent town role that's also a tid too specific to be in the game. I'm not sure though. I'm also considering a light power role like sleep walker.

A sleepwalker would be a bad idea if there was a tracker. Would take too many coincidences for a sleepwalker to always kill, you could get caught in the lie Claim seems decent enough I'm also gnna warn everyone here that people who don't vote Rats are, imo, going to look pretty suspect when Rats pulls the whole- "HA, I was ordinary" thing
