This game is Harry Potter Mafia? Did I miss something wut?

One idea: everyone can claim their own roles. That doesn't activate the penalty AFAIK. Then if anyone lies at all then their role creator can call them out.

This allows us to coordinate everyone's powers and dissenters can be lynched. Effectively we can coordinate everyone's actions and avoid hero syndrome or people using their powers in an Anti Town way (can also somewhat cripple the Mafia's powers).

The only weakness I can see is that it lets the Mafia pick and choose their targets among who has the most powerful roles. However, they already know many of the roles of Town (the ones they themselves created) so it's not all that debilitating.

Thoughts?

You're scum?

K ON, I'm giving you the stick. Claim your target before you use it.

Please don't.

Be aware-- Voldemort has disguised himself as a member of the town and is trying to collect the items.

I'm Harry Potter.

"You are Harry Potter, and you are on a mission to unite the three Deathly Hallows. Be aware-- Voldemort has disguised himself as a member of the town and is trying to collect the items, same as you! Each item you or Voldemort obtain will grant the holder a power, but unfortunately you can only use one item per night.

The Elder Wand - Allows you to shoot someone during the night.

The Cloak of Invisibility - Allows you to survive a hit during the night

The Resurrection Stone - Allows you to protect another player during the night.

The problem is, you do not know where the items are! You suspect they may be in possession of other people in the town. Being muggles, they may not be aware of the magical properties of the items.

In order to find the items, you have the ability to choose one correspondent every day. During the following night, and that night only, you can freely exchange PMs. But you cannot talk once the night has passed. If your correspondent happens to possess one of the items you seek, he may decide to give it to you by sending a PM to the hosts of the game. You must convince them to do so, however!"

Also, try to claim the target as close as possible to night deadline.

Please reconsider.

It doesn't matter if you give someone the elder wand anyways. For someone to properly use the elder wand, said person must kill its last owner. So ON would have to kill sandroba to use it.

Perhaps ON does. I have no such stipulation in my role PM.

There is probably a Snape, and in that case we should wait the whole Harry Potter/Voldemort thing out until Snape claims.

From the Day post
Headmaster Albus Decondore stood on the roof, facing Seveiii Snape and the Death Eaters acompanying him. Decondore knew what was coming next

If there is a Snape I don't see that happening.

I am content with my Mason role. It's similar enough to the last PTP game. Except this time I don't have to post all thos goddamned annoying smileys.

If you have an item keep it. I will not ask for it.

Is it safe to assume that all roles were assigned separate from alignment? Or do we have another host created rivalry like last game with the batman and joker?

That was my assumption upon receiving my role. 2 people independently creating HP and Voldemort is infinitesimal.

Hello.
I was away for dinner before the day post came up.

So what I've come to see is a whole bunch of "should we claim or not," "should vigs claim their shots or not," and people claiming and I don't actually understand that.

I don't think it is in our best interests to have people claiming d1. It just feels off to me and it doesn't feel like it will help us accomplish anything today. Maybe tomorrow or the next day.

This basically summed up my thoughts on the matter.

I honestly doubt we have a ton of HP-themed roles.

Can you explain what you mean by reconsider? Do you mean you don't want a target claim at all, or do you not want it at the end of night?

Giving away the wand.

Now that I think about it, it would be pretty stupid for an assassin to claim like that.
