He's had the snake since before Harry's birth...
Also in DH Harry is 18 very early on, in fact he complains about not being able to use magic for "two more days" in Chapter 1 and 2.
Ron and Hermione are both older than Harry and Ron is 18 by the end of HBP...

Fred and George as well.

Mods, I would like to request a role list.

So I can laugh!

I'd presume that the red spells are Mafia type spells, as typically AKs and Imperius Curses are used to eliminate people in the HP books, and holds the same purpose in Mafia.

What I'm more curious about are the spells and how they work, like whether or not they work like in the books. For example, based on the description, the Medic would have Episky, which is the healing/protection spell for the night in typical Mafia, but whether or not that would work against lets say an AK (Killing Spell) is beyond me. I'm skeptical as to how these spells work, what can counter/not counter and what roles get what spells, so a lot of this is still up in the air.

AK is uncounterable. Some things are close to the book, others are not. I have no idea if it's balanced.

So we've got 24 hours till election ends and so far we have 2 nominees for the mayor based on our sponsoring system. I've played with YellowInk in the last game, and for the most part I'd say he has a level head and a good gamesense. The other nominee, AmberLight, seems to be on the ball as well. As was noted before, Death Eaters will most likely try and push a nominee up for themselves, so we should also take not of who nominated these people.

AcrossFiveJulys (AFJ) nominated Amber, did so after AL posted some insight about mass roleclaiming.

johnnyspazz nominated YellowInk after seeing YI try to break the game.

If we do indeed find one of our nominees or infact the elected official to be scum, we now have a highly likely scenario of connecting the DE that nominated them. Any other nominations as of now? We've still got a day to decide and there are people yet to be heard from. Thoughts, opinions?

Somehow I accidentally posted. That last paragraph should read:


I get a similar read from AFJ as from Jayme, not necessarily pro-town at this point, but no scum tells. Although with added meaningless posts that sum up and comment on what's happening. I'd like to see more of the content rich posts from AFJ, and less of the contentless posts. Again, we'll see if the quality can remain high.

Well, that came out of nowhere. Your first post today contains an accusation with a "simple" analysis.

Fair enough, allow me to defend myself.

First, I just intended the "I'm new" card to be a warning because Roffles was doubting my idea of analyzing previous games based on the fact that it was only my second game and after trying the analysis exercise, it's indeed harder than I first thought.

As for restating what is going on, it's needed for analysis. Not only it allows to sum up the players's posts, but also acts as a basis on which I can start analyzing.

Finally, I do believe it's still too early in the game to have definitive stances on players, especially in this game where there is a lot of inactivity. My not-so-sure position was made to encourage these players to post more.

And as I said in the previous game, I believe that activity calls for activity and vice-versa, so I do like this accusation, but not the way it was done.

I see abenson as a better candidate than lakrismamma if we want to play it conservatively. I am still quite suspicious of YellowInk tbh, but am fine with waiting another day to see if he slips up given that others don't seem to feel strongly enough about him to lynch him.

Let's not forgot the middle of the line posters:

Jugan: mostly defending himself from accusations, a lot of one liner posts, no real contributions to the town plan? death eater? maybe so.

Jayme: hugely disproportionate time posting in other threads on TL vs in this thread, and not too many posts in this thread overall. check out his posts:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/search.php?q=&t=c&f=-1&u=Jayme&gb=date

His posting here, sparse as it has been, has been relatively insightful though.

JeeJee: also hugely disproportionate time posting in other threads versus this thread. he hasn't posted much, but his last few posts have just been accusing elyas, which imo is fairly grounded, yet he's not pushing for it even though he feels strongly about it -- strange?

ElyAs: recent activity consists of a somewhat thoughtful analysis of myself and zeks as well as responding to jeejee's accusations of him in a satisfactory manner.

If I had to pick one person to lynch today it would be YI, but my second choice would be Jugan. Since people seem against going after YI today, which I understand, I'll go ahead and start a vote for Jugan because he is tinted red through my current vision.

Also, I'd like to say that I am fairly confident that johnnyspazz is town at this point given his response to my question of him a few pages back.

so... I'm assuming that's the role check the guy you replaced did on abenson.

harry potter did a stupify curse on neville in book 1 or 2, got beaten, and heard his mother screaming. so i guess you are saying that abenson is harry potter?

and yes, i will befriend you my little chezpie
