Melissa decided this was the way we were going to go, so that’s your theme. Here’s some flavor text from her:
The Quidditch World Cup! It’s Ireland vs Bulgaria because, like basically all international sports, the U.S. is terrible and didn’t even make a showing. It might be because we don’t have witches anymore. They either got burned at the stake, joined the Mormons, or fled to England because Hogwarts is far superior to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where a fucking Pukwudgie is one of the house mascots.
Everybody is at the game! Harry, Ron, and Hermione are downing the butterbeer and getting a little amorous, and Dobby was, thank god, killed for insurrection.
Suddenly, the Death Mark appears in the sky! Everyone screams and runs, but just about 13 people are left behind by lack of portkeys and because we need everyone to still be there for the sake of the game. Our main characters stay behind to discover that the Death Eaters have killed *gasp* Kelly Wells, the Squib who would be king! Now the good witches and wizards left behind must stop the Death Eaters before they kill again.
Death Eaters (wolves) – Every night, they Avedra Kadevra the shit out of a wizard.
Lucius Malfoy
Bellatrix Lestrange
Voldemort – (KW: Voldemort has the “Imperius Curse” ability. Will use this sometime throughout the day to make his target speak in a manner of his choosing. Voldemort will choose, but I’ll decide if it’s within reason.)
Witches and Wizards (villagers)
Professor Trelawney (seer) — She can’t predict who will win the tournament, but she can kinda sense who is a werewolf by asking the mod.
Harry Potter (student) – He can save himself from lynching ONCE by declaring his role. When he does this, any votes against him will be wiped and no new ones can be cast. It is not possible to fake-claim Harry, and anyone who attempts to do so will be mod-killed.
Lily Potter (angel) — chooses someone to protect that night against Death Eaters. Cannot protect the same person on back-to-back nights.
(KW: There was a Dumbledore role too, but I didn’t want too many claimable roles)

Nah, you aren’t too old… I don’t think anyway. This is kind of an inside joke. In the latest Survivor game Mark played Crabbe but came off more like Draco. He was targeted heavily for about 5 rounds before he was finally voted out.

“Babble curse?!” What the eff is a babble curse? That’s not a real thing! I blame Rivet. This is clearly his doing. You all see that, right? I mean, his lame protestations about me having to talk and him not being able to pick apart my “Morning” are clearly cover for his obvious He Who Must Not Be Named identity!
Morning, by the way. I will not be stifled by the darkness.
Babble curse, my ass. Nothing is going to make me go on and on. I AM THE MASTER OF MY OWN SPEECH.

The Dumbledore character automatically died on day 3. He “fell” off a Quidditch goal post. It was either suicide, homicide, or a banquet hall mixup accident.

What Stacy is referring to, yes. What Ink is referring to, no. Ink is poking fun of my use of the word YIKES in one of the first games of werewolf that I played on CdL. Spooky took hold of the use of that word and outed me as a wolf on the very first day. Now it’s just a running joke.

Do you actually include yourself? I was wondering that
January 3, 2017 at 12:19 pm
Inkarnit
You literally just replied to the comment where I said I ALWAYS include myself. I do. I go to random.org and look at the number of players. This game has 13. Then I roll between 1 and 13 the number of times needed to get the amount of Evils present. This had 3 listed. So I rolled three times and got 2, 7, 6. I then count down the list and find who those people are and list them. If one is me, I list me.
January 3, 2017 at 12:20 pm

I even played a game once where I was a wolf and rolled myself AND one of my partners. I listed us both.

Are you saying we shouldn’t vote Novak based off the very reliable reasoning that voting him out when he’s not a wolf in PAST games means we shouldn’t vote him out in THIS game, regardless of knowing nothing about his role so far? Sounds…like a wolf defeinding a wolf. Maybe this whole “I hate Harry Potter” thing should be considered an important wolfish trait.

Inkarnit is a putz. Discuss.
Also, for your pleasure, a short excerpt from the first book:
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy
anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a
secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it.

where did you ask a question?
January 3, 2017 at 12:53 pm

You’re really on your game today huh? We were just having a whole discussion about the relevance of my questions… and then you ask where I asked a question.
January 3, 2017 at 12:58 pm
Colin Prime
I guess I didn’t count it as a question given it’s weirdness.
January 3, 2017 at 12:59 pm
Inkarnit
How about the other question wherein I asked for thoughts on the people in the list? Did that one count as a question or was that weird too?
January 3, 2017 at 1:03 pm
Colin Prime
equally weird. It’s an empty list and it’s early in day 1. everything about all of this line of thought stinks of a set up – your second of the day. You might as well just start sniffing out harry, voldemort.
January 3, 2017 at 1:04 pm

It’s almost like you forgot how to play Werewolf.
January 3, 2017 at 1:05 pm

I agree with your statement. I don’t understand how you don’t get what that was about though.
For example, what if Annette had responded with thoughts on people? What would your opinion then be?
January 3, 2017 at 1:10 pm
Colin Prime
my opinion would be the same. your attempts to start discussions are historically attempts at throwing shade to start trains which you mask as attempts to start discussions. trying to dis my game isn’t going to throw me off track, Colin.
January 3, 2017 at 1:11 pm
Inkarnit
Historically attempts to throw shade.
Really.
Please show an example.
January 3, 2017 at 1:15 pm
Inkarnit
Also, look at the amount of “activity” prior to my requests for discussion versus now.
I’d say the discussion was successful.
It also helped me solidify a read on Annette.
January 3, 2017 at 12:55 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
He meant to tell her to “discuss” as he wants her to explain why she’s not a wolf who’s self-cursed or been cursed by a wolf. Sadly, I found him understandable here. I must have caught some kinda virus that makes nonsensical things sensical. Or is this some kinda game curse Kelly didn’t tell us about? OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME.
January 3, 2017 at 12:58 pm
Inkarnit
Actually, no. My discuss was meant for others to join the discussion based on that hypothesis. To either prove or disprove it. It was not necessarily my opinion.
January 3, 2017 at 12:58 pm
nettiebarron
I have no idea what happens if I don’t use 100 words, you ninny muggins! I’m assuming a mod kill but I have no actual knowlege of such.
Also, I think a list on day one is ridiculous. I could pretend that somebody’s opening remark sounded wolfy (AHEM), but of course, WHO DOES THAT?! Also, not all parties have been heard from yet today. My experience of Mark is that he may very well be all three wolves. (Kidding . . .mostly).
And how is it plagiarism? I specifically said here’s an “excerpt from the first book.”
You’re starting to look like a very good candidate for the train.
January 3, 2017 at 1:00 pm
Inkarnit
This is a good response to a reason for not providing thoughts on the list. It’s better than manufacturing something that you think I’m looking for. Reads genuine.
As for the plagiarism remark, it was totally a joke 😛
January 3, 2017 at 12:50 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
There’s really no need for discussion. Wolfson has had a couple years with us now in which he’s clearly demonstrated he’s a putz.

“hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache.”
WTF? Although implies a connection! What does the existence of one’s neck have to do with the existence of the mustache? What kind of terrible writing is this? How did anyone ever read this crap? How did this make it past the editors? There were no editors, were there? That would explain a lot, actually.

Oh come on now. That use of “although” is terrible writing. Spooky, back me up on this. I mean, you can like Harry Potter and still agree that that particular sentence would still win a Bantam Bulwyr challenge.
January 3, 2017 at 1:08 pm
Inkarnit
I would have Golded it.
January 3, 2017 at 1:13 pm
Colin Prime
oh, you’re for real on this point? dude, no. it’s clever writing. The implied connection between having no neck and a large mustache is an indication of character that effectively describes his physicality and demeanor in one nice little sentence.
January 3, 2017 at 1:18 pm
mbnovak
How does implying a connection between the two indicate anything about character or demeanor? It does no such thing. And even if that were the intended effect, it reads more like a gaffe, and there would be better ways to accomplish the same.
Let’s not go around and call bad writing good writing just because we otherwise love the books.
January 3, 2017 at 1:22 pm
mbnovak
I’d also observe that “although” is frequently misused in exactly this way. That makes it all the less clever and all the more likely to be misread as an error. It’d be like she wrote “There home was very neat” and you being an apologist for her and saying “She used the wrong ‘there’ to imply the Dursleys were dumb!”
January 3, 2017 at 1:23 pm
Colin Prime
I’m calling it good writing because it’s good writing. I think the books are OK.
Let’s not go around and call writing bad because it doesn’t fit into our limited experience.
Hey! looks like I’m ready for cantankerous!
January 3, 2017 at 1:27 pm
mbnovak
That particular bit is bad writing though. I didn’t tear into the section in general, or the hackneyed overplayed “orphan-child raised by relatives” bit, or anything else. Man, there is a lot of fodder in these things, ain’t there? Guess there’s a just a lot there, in general. I will give some credit – Harry Potter sure has a lot of stuff in it.
January 3, 2017 at 1:43 pm
Colin Prime
I can’t argue against the fact that a lot of the writing is sophomoric and hackneyed, but the particular sentence that you chose to pinpoint is not. You don’t like it, but that doesn’t make it bad writing.
January 3, 2017 at 1:59 pm
mbnovak
I know the fact that I don’t like it isn’t what makes it bad writing. That’s why I gave constructive reasons other than the fact that I don’t like it. You’re ignoring those reasons and positing that my position is based on personal preference. That’s not the case.
January 3, 2017 at 2:34 pm
Colin Prime
No, all you’ve said is that it is bad writing, that although implies a connection and that you don’t understand said connection, and that it is hackneyed and shouldn’t have made it past the editors. At no point did you provide any objective reasoning as to why this particular sentence is actually bad writing. Objection overruled.
January 3, 2017 at 2:36 pm
Colin Prime
also, your comparison to a misspelling and implying that I’m an apologist is clearly an attempt to sway the jury, not to mention that it also a red herring argument. for a lawyer you’re doing terrible here, Novak.

As he pulled into the driveway of number four, the first thing he saw — and it didn’t improve his mood — was the tabby cat he’d spotted that morning. It was now sitting on his garden wall. He was sure it was the same one; it had the same markings around its eyes.
“Shoo!” said Mr. Dursley loudly.
The cat didn’t move. It just gave him a stern look. Was this normal cat behavior? Mr. Dursley wondered. Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house. He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
Side note: I get a stern look from my cat whenever her dinner is 30 seconds late.

2 – The HP books have never succeeded based on their writing/editing/whatever. It’s storytelling, there’s fantasy and there’s plot. Lots of people (and I mean lots) love that.
3 – Not everyone is willing to give up stellar writing/editing/wordplay in order to read a good story. That group is clearly superior in their literary taste. Congratulations.

January 3, 2017 at 2:30 pm

I wouldn’t say your silence was guilt. Just day 1 90% of the time is a crapshoot here. And we never kill the quiet people early for some reason especially if they are new and it’s allowed the wolves to win many times. But now that you are here I shall remove my vote. Welcome to werewolf!

January 3, 2017 at 2:45 pm
nettiebarron
Unvote KG, Vote StacyStace Since KG showed up and because Stacy spoke and then disappeared and we all know what that means!
Dumbledore slipped the Put-Outer back inside his cloak and set off down the street toward number four, where he sat down on the wall next to the cat. He didn’t look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.
“Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall.”
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled.
“How did you know it was me?” she asked.
“My dear Professor, I’ve never seen a cat sit so stiffly.”
Side note: whoever is responsible for making me count all my goddamned words today is a blast-ended skrewt!
January 3, 2017 at 3:00 pm
Colin Prime
She looked Distinctly ruffled.
Now that is bad writing. It is bad writing because distinct and ruffled are words that do not go well together, being somewhat contradictory. While the word distinctly is being used for emphasis and therefore technically fits, another choice such as noticeably, or remarkably would have been better suited.
In the case of the neck and mustache, the word although was used to imply a connection between having no neck and a large mustache as a humorous implication that said connection equals an unattractive person with an unattractive personality.
Whereas distinctly is simply a poor choice of words, likely not intentional, it is clear that the use of although is intentional and, while you may not like it, it is not particularly bad writing.
January 3, 2017 at 3:01 pm

You’re a wolf. You’re trying hard to be belligerent and you’re calling out that you’re doing so which makes me think that it’s a transparent attempt to avoid your old wolf tell which I haven’t thought about in years.

so. then.
dude, I’m naturally belligerent, I’m not trying yet. and you of all people know that I don’t engage this way on day 1 as a wolf. I try to look like I’m actually hunting, which is not at all what I’ve done today. What I’ve done today is:

This is going to be a trying day. Accounting at year-end, a cold and werewolf are the perfect storm for me. I have been keeping up though and the one thing that stands out the most to me is that Colin Prime and Novak seem to be doing a lot of quarreling and misdirection with each other. The Harry Potter series is what my kids grew up with and what I recently read and found delightful but I don’t think that should be the point. Maybe pinpointing who might have decided that giving Nettie the 100 word minimum curse, whether she’s a wolf or a villager is a good idea? I don’t know… it could just be the cold medicine talking.
January 3, 2017 at 3:18 pm
Colin Prime
I would think that nettie would think giving nettie the curse would be a good idea. What do you think?
January 3, 2017 at 3:19 pm

Didn’t I already say that?

While the 100 word thing is a piece of information we can use, it doesn’t seem like a particularly good one. It’s not that penal of a punishment (I hope the penal/punishment combo drives Colin and/or Novak insane) it just seems like more of a goofy Day 1 type thing.

I’m so happy with this exchange, it has spurred an unscheduled excerpt!
It seemed that Professor McGonagall had reached the point she
was most anxious to discuss, the real reason she had been waiting
on a cold, hard wall all day, for neither as a cat nor as a woman had
she fixed Dumbledore with such a piercing stare as she did now. It
was plain that whatever “everyone” was saying, she was not going
to believe it until Dum ble dore told her it was true. Dum ble dore,
however, was choosing another lemon drop and did not answer.
“What they’re saying,” she pressed on, “is that last night Voldemort
turned up in Godric’s Hollow. He went to find the Potters. The rumor is that Lily and James Potter are — are — that they’re — dead.”
Dumbledore bowed his head. Professor McGonagall gasped.
“Lily and James . . . I can’t believe it . . . I didn’t want to believe it . . . Oh, Albus . . .”
Dumbledore reached out and patted her on the shoulder. “I know . . . I know . . .” he said heavily.

A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent
and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect
astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his
blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter
beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing
he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few
hours’ time by Mrs. Dursley’s scream as she opened the front door
to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few
weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He
couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret
all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in
hushed voices: “To Harry Potter — the boy who lived!”

Even aside from the rain and wind it hadn’t been a happy practice session. Fred and George, who had been spying on the Slytherin team, had seen for themselves the speed of those new Nimbus Two Thousand and Ones. They reported that the Slytherin team was no more than seven greenish blurs, shooting through the air like missiles.
As Harry squelched along the deserted corridor he came across somebody who looked just as preoccupied as he was. Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor Tower, was staring morosely out of a window, muttering under his breath, “. . . don’t fulfill their requirements . . . half an inch, if that . . .”

I leave for a couple hours, and all hell breaks loose. Are people implying there’s a seer claim? All I see is Wolfson being a dumbass (e.g. being himself) and Prime being debonair and charming (e.g. being himself). How does this help us at all?
January 3, 2017 at 4:32 pm
Inkarnit
Don’t ever change.
January 3, 2017 at 4:33 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
My love for you can never change. Ever.
January 3, 2017 at 4:34 pm
kg2005
Are you trying to imply that Colin’s charm does not help us at all? This will not stand.
January 3, 2017 at 4:38 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Prime’s charm makes everyone’s day better. Wolfson’s charm only makes me feel subtly sick. Nay! It makes me feel distinctly ruffled.
January 3, 2017 at 4:40 pm
Inkarnit
I like this post.
January 3, 2017 at 4:35 pm
todahshy
There was either a seer claim or a fake seer claim. Which apparently according to DG I’m supposed to ignore although he also says its purpose was to inspire discussion and make things happen.
January 3, 2017 at 4:36 pm
daneekasghost
I never said ignore it. I said I won’t be voting for Inkarnit (or Prime).
January 3, 2017 at 4:37 pm
Inkarnit
DG’s got the right idea.
January 3, 2017 at 4:38 pm
daneekasghost
I always do, Greek. I always do.
January 3, 2017 at 4:37 pm
Inkarnit
There was discussion about a fake claim?
January 3, 2017 at 4:41 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Are we talking about this?
January 3, 2017 at 4:43 pm
Inkarnit
There’s actually several points in the day where I stated it. It wasn’t simply alluded to.
January 3, 2017 at 4:45 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
So you’re actually, for real, making a seer claim right now? You’re not just being ridiculous? And you’re saying that, based on your night view, Mark is the choice for lynching?
January 3, 2017 at 4:46 pm
Inkarnit
No. I’m not making the claim now. I made it much earlier in the day.
January 3, 2017 at 4:47 pm
Inkarnit
Also, I never said anything about Mark. I said my n0 view was Colin.
January 3, 2017 at 4:51 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Ah. Got it. I had no idea what n0 was, so at the time, I read it as you making up Werewolf jargon like “bussing” and “town hall”. I understand now.
January 3, 2017 at 4:52 pm
Inkarnit
It’s “town circle” newb.
January 3, 2017 at 4:53 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Ugh. You’re the worst.
January 3, 2017 at 4:36 pm
Inkarnit
Reviewing Melissa’s game is interesting. She’s really provided nothing of substance all day. Mark has provided as much substance as she has and he has an excuse.
January 3, 2017 at 4:41 pm
nettiebarron
Also, what happened to Mark? I mean, he was here long enough to elicit a promise of survival, but then … POOF! Which one of you stupified him?
Harry was at the point of telling Ron and Hermione about Filch and the Kwikspell course when the salamander suddenly whizzed into the air, emitting loud sparks and bangs as it whirled wildly round the room. The sight of Percy bellowing himself hoarse at Fred and George, the spectacular display of tangerine stars showering from the salamander’s mouth, and its escape into the fire, with accompanying explosions, drove both Filch and the Kwikspell envelope from Harry’s mind. By the time Halloween arrived, Harry was regretting his rash promise to go to the deathday party. The rest of the school was happily anticipating their Halloween feast; the Great Hall had been decorated with the usual live bats, Hagrid’s vast pumpkins had been carved into lanterns large enough for three men to sit in, and there were rumors that Dumbledore had booked a troupe of dancing skeletons for the entertainment.
January 3, 2017 at 4:39 pm
mbnovak
I’m around for a little bit, but I’ll be leaving before too long, and unsure if I’ll make it back before.
Vote for Mark.
In all the silence, there was actually a thing that stood out to me. Doesn’t tell us a lot, I suppose.
If Inkarnit is the Seer, and Colin is clean, then DG seems like a good target too, since he was fairly quick to embrace that idea. But also, if Inkarnit is the seer, I kind of doubt he’d just outright tell us his pick, particularly if it was a villager, and maybe that’s some slight of hand? That doesn’t seem nearly clever enough for him to just say his first pick, and surely he’d aim for more? DG, thoughts on this?
January 3, 2017 at 4:41 pm
Inkarnit
You’d prefer the Seer NOT tell you his night zero pick accurately and then possibly die with false information out there?
January 3, 2017 at 4:46 pm
mbnovak
Prefer it? No. But… just a night 0 pick seems like such a small gain. We’ve got the angel, so there’s a guaranteed night 1 pick too, but… and with Harry out there, that’s potentially another day and 4 known quantities… I mean, I can see it, it just seems like usually the seers go another day or two, and you in particular like to play for the bigger impact, so your seer claim seems a bit out of character.
January 3, 2017 at 4:48 pm
daneekasghost
your seer claim seems a bit out of character.
I think this is where I differ from you and todah. I can see inkarnit doing this from a variety of positions.
January 3, 2017 at 4:52 pm
Inkarnit
Know where I wouldn’t do it from?
The position of wolf.
January 3, 2017 at 4:56 pm
mbnovak
Yeah, I agree with this. I don’t think it is a likely wolf play. What I was saying was I think maybe you didn’t actually peek Colin at all, and you’re actually sitting on other knowledge? That would be more in line with the type of gambit I’d expect from you.
January 3, 2017 at 4:57 pm
Inkarnit
If that is the case, I would be sure to get that information out before nightfall.
January 3, 2017 at 5:01 pm
mbnovak
I guess I’d expect that too.
January 3, 2017 at 5:04 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Actually, so can I. The #1 reason he’s doing this, for instance: To come off looking like a Werewolf badass pro. This move, along with the logic he threw out that subsequently made Ash run away, is pure showoff Wolfson. There’s the possibility he’s not the seer (which can be deduced from his logic statements around his move), but even if he’s not the seer, it’s a total villager move and not a wolf move. He hasn’t unmasked the seer, so that person isn’t at risk of being eaten tonight. Neither is Wolfson because the Angel will protect him. This means that, regardless of Wolfson’s actual role, we have two peeks that come in handy for the village. I’d argue even 3 peeks because the seer can hide longer. It’s really…*groans* it’s a good move. *pukes in a bucket*
That’s the last nice thing I’m saying about you for at least an hour, Wolfson.
January 3, 2017 at 5:07 pm
Inkarnit
Man… Melissa makes me wish I was really a villager making an awesome move now
January 3, 2017 at 7:11 pm
todahshy
It’s a good move?!?! So he forces the angel to waste a save on him… which could then lead the wolves to accidentally off the actual seer with us really getting no info of substance.
Not to mention it is Inkarnit, has he ever been night killed early? I feel like he always draws so much attention he becomes a shield for the wolves to hide behind more than anything.
January 3, 2017 at 4:49 pm
Inkarnit
Well if Colin is a wolf then he knows I know and is going to be super careful not to tie himself to other wolves. And then he’s going to hope I’m protected tonight and then NK me tomorrow night instead. We’d gain nothing by me sitting on a positive wolf view of Colin.
January 3, 2017 at 5:08 pm
Colin Prime
I am in no way connected to DG, ash, or Melissa.
January 3, 2017 at 5:11 pm

Oh I see. A couple of hugs and then it’s all “DG? I don’t even know anyone named DG.”
Well, Your hugs weren’t even that great. *runs away sobbing*

Wil there be more holding and “consoling”? I’ve got my camera at ready.
January 3, 2017 at 4:44 pm
daneekasghost
Both you and todahshy are ascribing an awful lot of implication into what I’m saying and very little(?) into what inkarnit is saying.
There are three possibilities for inkarnit
1-wolf
2-seer
3-villager(not a seer)
Weighing those options, I decided I was better off not voting for Inkarnit today.
January 3, 2017 at 7:13 pm
todahshy
I’m fine not killing Inkarnit today as well. I really wanted to vote for him during the day to force some discussion on this topic because it seemed as if it was either being ignored or not noticed by most people.
January 3, 2017 at 7:10 pm
markfeagins
I’m not sure exactly what you want me to say…I’m not a wolf? Because I’m not.
January 3, 2017 at 7:58 pm

This is exactly what I said not to s…. ah, you’re playing me now too, new guy?
January 3, 2017 at 4:42 pm
Inkarnit
The concerns on Mark are good. I’m concerned there too. But if I was a wolf, I’d bus the hell out of him, so Novak and nettie don’t get points for thinking the same. But Mark had several votes melt off him just by showing up and asking for them to be moved and then…
January 3, 2017 at 4:47 pm
kg2005
I agree that it’s good to look at people who are piling on the newb, but it doesn’t surprise me that votes would go away from him once he shows up. That happens all the time.
January 3, 2017 at 4:51 pm
Inkarnit
Oh, I know. I was one that went away from him. What I’m saying is that once he got the votes OFF him, he just disappeared again. Seems wolfy, but I’ll give him a D1 newb pass.
January 3, 2017 at 4:50 pm
mbnovak
What is this word “bus” you keep using?
January 3, 2017 at 4:51 pm
Inkarnit
“Throw partner under the bus”
“Sacrifice wolf partner for credit”
January 3, 2017 at 5:02 pm

Inkarnit
If I’m the Seer, the wolves should totally counter my claim.
If I’m not the Seer, the real Seer should totally not counter my claim but the wolves should still do so.
Also, if I’m really the Seer, I should be protected tonight because the presence of an angel is the only reason a Seer would claim on Mighty Ducks 1.
January 3, 2017 at 4:49 pm

It’s times like this when I think to myself, “What would Emilio Estevez do?”

January 3, 2017 at 4:52 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
He’d go down in a blaze of glory, of course.
January 3, 2017 at 7:17 pm
todahshy
Uhhhhhhh why on earth would the wolves counter this claim? If you are the seer you are guaranteed only one more peek. The angel cannot save the same person back to back nights. Unless you view yourself as such an important target to the wolves that they must do everything in their power to stop you?
I feel like you got too cute hoping your lingo would go unnoticed and now going for lame justifications on a horrible move. But the more we discuss this move the easier for people to fade away. So I’m moving on from my vote on you for today (as soon as I finally catch up on these posts).
January 3, 2017 at 7:31 pm
Inkarnit
I disagree that it would be a horrible move. And we can discuss that in more detail when it’s relevant. But it’s not relevant at this time as it’s not a fake this time.

Have I played with you before? I’m pretty sure. And this is really wolfy. Or death eatery. whatever.
Welcome back!
January 3, 2017 at 6:44 pm

Alright. I have to pick up my kids, make dinner, etc etc. I will be back in a couple hours. By then, I’m sure more hell will have broken loose.
January 3, 2017 at 5:57 pm
Colin Prime
My first real read of the day has this to say:
I think Novak, Stacey, Mark, ash and ZG are the most wolfy.
No I’m not going to say why.
I’m almost done for the day with my seminar, and will be off to schmooze over dinner and drinks and then I’m going to go see the new Harry Potter movie and think about Novak the whole time. What i’m saying is, I’m on for a bit, but will be spotty after the next hour or so.
unvote ZG vote stacey is my best guess.
January 3, 2017 at 6:09 pm
Inkarnit
I can see why you’d come to those conclusions. But besides Novak it seems like quite a bit of “these people aren’t around much” reads. Which I’m fine with. I love lynching inactive people. You’ve got a valid point on Stacey. Mark would be my first choice today if it weren’t his first game. So I suppose I’ll let him line a little. I’m anxiously awaiting Stacey’s promised return before I decide if she should die.
January 3, 2017 at 6:19 pm
ZG
Stacey had a couple comments that I didn’t follow at all. I thought it strange, though not necessarily wolfy; although I can imagine voting for her.
January 3, 2017 at 6:21 pm
ZG
Also, she insists on spelling her name contrary to the way we keep writing it. Sorry Stacy.
January 3, 2017 at 6:22 pm
Inkarnit
Now I don’t care who you are, that’s wolfy right there.
January 3, 2017 at 6:46 pm

My misplaced comments were just from lack of completely reading I sure you. I’m here Ink, no need to lynch a villager on D1!

January 3, 2017 at 6:26 pm

vote Ash I’m going to be heading for the train (to continue that nap from this morning). I believe that I have understood everything so far and understand the reasoning for an early seer claim. I’m one of those people that needs proof and would like very much to vote CPime but I also understand losing someone that is not participating (or participating very little).
January 3, 2017 at 6:32 pm
Colin Prime
so you’d like to vote me despite the seer claim that you understand that clears me?
just trying to be clear here.

Well, I didn’t bring my B, C or D game today. I didn’t list A on purpose because I don’t have an A game yet. I completely read Ink’s post as you being a wolf. I’ve reread. Apologies.

Unvote Colin Prime, Vote Mark I never promised not to vote him, so I’m good, right?
He missed Hogwarts so much it was like having a constant
stomachache. He missed the castle, with its secret passageways and
ghosts, his classes (though perhaps not Snape, the Potions master),
the mail arriving by owl, eating banquets in the Great Hall, sleeping
in his four-poster bed in the tower dormitory, visiting the gamekeeper,
Hagrid, in his cabin next to the Forbidden Forest in the
grounds, and, especially, Quidditch, the most popular sport in the
Wizarding world (six tall goalposts, four flying balls, and fourteen
players on broomsticks).
All Harry’s spellbooks, his wand, robes,

January 3, 2017 at 6:46 pm
Colin Prime
Allright, all. I’m off for a while. I’ll check in on my phone as much as I can, and hope to look really wolfy late in the day by switching my votes without any reasoning at the last minute. I’m going to leave my vote where it is for now cause I like it.
January 3, 2017 at 6:51 pm
Inkarnit
I think I like the Stacy vote after reviewing her game.

Good thing I’m a prescient death eater.
January 3, 2017 at 7:03 pm
StacyStace
You notice that I didn’t actually vote. I’m not absolutely positive. I’d like to discuss this possibility though.
vote Ash With no reason to be given in order to make myself more Wolfy in appearance since convincing people I’m a villager has proven difficult.
January 3, 2017 at 6:55 pm
StacyStace
A bit of insight from what I’ve read: I don’t necessarily think Ink is the seer. I think it’s possible that he and Colin could both be wolves protecting each other? They’ve been mentioning others that I am pretty sure are villagers including myself. This is suspect to me, anyone else?
January 3, 2017 at 7:01 pm
ash10101
Ink’s seer thing was…weird, but not unlike him so I’m not sure what to think about it
January 3, 2017 at 7:21 pm
todahshy
I could go with Ash, Mark or Stacy vote right now.
But I cannot ge tover that post that I did my eyebrow raise too. Something about Stacy’s comments today seem… dare I say… staged?! Am I allowed to say that or am I ripping of Kelly’s copyrighted terms too much?
unvote Inkarnit vote Stacy
January 3, 2017 at 7:34 pm
StacyStace
Again, you guys say this all the time. I’m not sure when my “staged” comments will just become what is considered my “normal” game. Every time you guys lynch me, I tell you flat out that I am a villager and am pretty forthright. And every time, you lynch me only to find out that I’m a simple villager.
January 3, 2017 at 7:35 pm
Inkarnit
If we keep trying, we’ll get it right eventually!
January 3, 2017 at 7:43 pm
todahshy
Only a werewolf deals in absolutes.
January 3, 2017 at 8:17 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
The problem is that wolves also say, flat out, that they’re villagers. Sometimes villagers say, flat out, that they’re wolves. That’s DG’s favorite thing to do so that you can never know, ever, what role he’s playing. It’s his meta werewolf game.
January 3, 2017 at 7:22 pm
todahshy
Mark what are your hunches right now? I know the first day of a werewolf game can be pure insanity (I remember mine vividly), although it is full of a bunch of in-jokes that you probably don’t get.
So what are your thoughts?
January 3, 2017 at 7:25 pm
markfeagins
Yeah I have literally no idea lol. Do we have to vote anyone? I don’t really have any hunches, sorry. There’s not a ton to go off of.
January 3, 2017 at 7:26 pm
todahshy
Each game has different rules when it comes to if you need to vote or not usually. Kelly would need to answer that. If only he were currently reading the game…
January 3, 2017 at 7:28 pm
spookymilk
Don’t be a dick, Mike.
Mark, voting is optional. I used to institute a “two-strike rule” where non-voters were mod killed. This became totally unnecessary as players take it into consideration as a strategic play (from either side) and is just part of the game.
January 3, 2017 at 7:30 pm
todahshy
There’s no one around to troll right now!!
January 3, 2017 at 7:31 pm
markfeagins
I guess people can read into it what they want but I will probably abstain mostly because I have no idea who to vote other than to throw a vote at a person voting for me. Though they might just be misled by my early silence. So yeah, I probably won’t vote until we have some solid information.
January 3, 2017 at 7:29 pm
markfeagins
I should have rephrased…I asked Kelly earlier and he said it was fine not to vote. I meant to ask you guys if it was “socially acceptable” to not vote.
January 3, 2017 at 7:32 pm
todahshy
To me I don’t know why a villager would be afraid to vote. But everyone plays differently.
January 3, 2017 at 7:33 pm
Inkarnit
It’s viewed as pretty much a cop out and as a new player we really need to see and understand your progression, even if you’re incorrect. There’s a villager way to be wrong and a wolf way to be wrong.
January 3, 2017 at 7:29 pm
todahshy
With that being said, there is really no good reason not to vote. Voting can be a good way to put pressure on people to speak up or you can see how different people react to someone getting a good amount of votes, etc.
January 3, 2017 at 7:26 pm
markfeagins
Also I’m glad I saw you mentioned me because it’s tricky skimming through all the comments.

January 3, 2017 at 7:38 pm
todahshy
Well remember you can vote as many times as you want throughout the day. Only your vote when the time ends is the one that will count (unless majority is reached which this early in the game is extremely rare unless Annette is a wolf).
So oftentimes voting for people is a good way to try to get some info to help fuel your final decision on the day.
January 3, 2017 at 7:42 pm
markfeagins
That’s true. But you guys are doing quite a bit of that already so I’m not sure it’s necessary for me to do.
January 3, 2017 at 7:37 pm
Inkarnit
Hmm, I might be okay with lynch mark after all. Sounds like he’s not going to do anything pro village. So wolves will leave him alive if he’s a villager and he’s got an excuse to do nothing if he’s a wolf.
January 3, 2017 at 7:38 pm
markfeagins
On the contrary, a random lynch statistically highly favors the wolves. So not lynching someone is my attempt to help the village until we have information.
January 3, 2017 at 7:41 pm
StacyStace
This. I like this thought.
January 3, 2017 at 7:41 pm
todahshy
But if you are a villager and you refuse to vote you are giving the wolves a greater share of the vote thereby technically giving them a statistically better chance to kill a villager.
You are very rarely going to absolutely know who a wolf is early in a game. But voting patterns even in the early game can help the village greatly in the end game.
January 3, 2017 at 7:42 pm
StacyStace
Ahh then this. Good point.
January 3, 2017 at 7:43 pm
markfeagins
Don’t there have to be 7 votes for someone to go?
January 3, 2017 at 7:44 pm
todahshy
Nope when time ends whoever has the most votes at that time dies. If 7 people vote for the same person before the end of the day then that person dies as soon as the 7th person votes.
January 3, 2017 at 7:46 pm
Inkarnit
And this too, yeah.
January 3, 2017 at 7:45 pm
Inkarnit
And Stacy likes this thought? This is a terrible thought. The lynch is the only way we catch wolves. They will kill at night regardless. So let’s just no lynch each day and let the wolves widdle us down at night? All the while learning nothing from lynching someone, like who is voting to do so?
January 3, 2017 at 7:44 pm

Wolfier than this: https://spookymilk.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/werewolf-harry-potter-day-one/#comment-81661
I kinda agree with Inkarnit that they could be a wolf tandem D1stancing.

That was me defending my “Where’s Mark been…” question when it was clear he had been around if I’d only read up before commenting.

vote Ash I forgot the part that it had to be in its own post. So wolfy of me! 😉
January 3, 2017 at 8:07 pm

Now that you are back, train Mark on how important voting is.
January 3, 2017 at 7:47 pm

I have to agree. If I’m going to vote I will vote Ash (Idk how to make it bold)

I vote Ash
January 3, 2017 at 7:52 pm
Inkarnit
Yes just like that. Only it has to be its own post, not a reply.
January 3, 2017 at 7:52 pm
todahshy
Just like that but as Inkarnit said votes that are replies don’t count because it gets impossible for the mod to keep track so just redo it as its own comment.

Thank you

I thought no one died if we didn’t put 7 votes on someone. That changes the game entirely.
January 3, 2017 at 7:47 pm

Now I don’t know if we should kill mark, Stacy, or ash.
January 3, 2017 at 7:49 pm

Give me a chance, geez. I voted Ash.
January 3, 2017 at 7:51 pm

Mark, I’ve been there with having so little to go on and not wanting to make unseasoned votes. Came to realize (watching DG, among others) that voting and probing does seem to help the game along. That said, I was determined this morning to find things and place votes today; didn’t work out very well for me either.
January 3, 2017 at 7:53 pm
markfeagins
Thank you. I think I’m figuring it out but there’s little actual substance to go off of so that makes it hard.
January 3, 2017 at 7:53 pm

I believe you and I were wolves in the game where DG decided to give everyone a lesson on how important voting was….
January 3, 2017 at 7:53 pm
daneekasghost
Mark – you should vote. Everyone should vote.
Even a vote with no reasoning behind it can knock something loose.
The more votes there are, the harder it is to keep up as a wolf. Trust me, I’m probably a wolf.
January 3, 2017 at 7:55 pm
markfeagins
Apparently this has to go in an original comment. Bear with me, sorry guys. The only person that seemed a little sketchy to me was Ash so I’m voting Ash
January 3, 2017 at 7:55 pm
todahshy
So what are we at right now if we count Mark’s vote for ash (I think we should just count it for now).
January 3, 2017 at 7:55 pm

OK mark is figuring it out. He’s off my plate, I mean mind, for today’s lunch, I mean lynch. So Ash or Stacy?
January 3, 2017 at 7:56 pm

I’m really fine with either one to be honest. But it is slightly off putting that so many of us are on the same page.
January 3, 2017 at 7:57 pm

I mean, it’s rare that a village really comes together. But it can happen.
January 3, 2017 at 8:00 pm

We do have several people hanging back that have been sorta present. Could be relevant if things turn out wrong here.
January 3, 2017 at 8:02 pm

I think I want to pull this trigger.

I was reading through and a similar thought occurred to me, although we could probably end up with a worse (or no) bus driver.

He’s a pretty good train conductor, too.
January 3, 2017 at 8:26 pm
Inkarnit
Harry Potter? Villager? Werewolf?
January 3, 2017 at 8:27 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
It bugs me so much that Inkarnit is probably not actually a wolf. That said, the focus on Ash, Stacy, and Mark seems to easy. They’re just not being very good at this today. I think there’s at least one wolf amongst them, but it’s definitely not all three. I’m willing to give Mark the benefit of the doubt as a very cautious player would, upon first game, choose to sit and watch proceedings over voting if he doesn’t know that his voting does, indeed, help. That leaves Ash and Stacy. Ash seems to be playing his typical “I’m not actually around to do this and don’t really know what’s going on” game, and Stacy…Stacy is very wolfy. I’m leaning that direction.
Novak, your hatred of Harry Potter will have to be re-evaluated tomorrow.
Unvote Novak
Vote Stacy
January 3, 2017 at 8:37 pm
StacyStace
I’m beginning to think I truly suck at being a villager. This happens every time and each time you all wake up to read that you have lynched a villager. For the good of the village, you all might want to actually target someone who is indeed a wolf. Unless, of course, you are a wolf yourself I suppose.
January 3, 2017 at 8:40 pm
MelissaDiamondPhillips
Can you point us to said wolf?
January 3, 2017 at 8:44 pm
markfeagins
I believe you
January 3, 2017 at 8:52 pm

Something about this comment weirds me out. What makes you believe her? Who do you think is a better wolf?

Is it your heart or your codpiece telling you that?
January 3, 2017 at 8:52 pm
Inkarnit
Clearly my codpiece.
January 3, 2017 at 8:47 pm
mbnovak
I still see Stacy as just scrambling/bad villager (sorry Stacy), and Ash as more opportunist. Mark’s line from his first show up earlier about “just don’t kill me today” caught my eye. He has disappeared again which i don’t like. That he voted Ash probably means they aren’t both wolves because that would be A-level bussing (eh?) if new player wolf put his vote there. So i think we learn more from either ash or mark.
January 3, 2017 at 8:48 pm
todahshy
Oh no, the dreaded “learn more” has made its debut in this game.
January 3, 2017 at 8:50 pm
mbnovak
Nah, I implied it earlier too, saying mark was a good candidate, but bad for leading anywhere.
January 3, 2017 at 8:49 pm
StacyStace
It’s ok. I’ll learn one of these times heh.
January 3, 2017 at 8:50 pm
Inkarnit
So who’s a wolf, Stacy? And why? You’ve got a few minutes to convince someone.
January 3, 2017 at 8:54 pm
StacyStace
It’s hard because there hasn’t been too much conversation from quite a few. Nettie could be (i liked your earlier ideas about her possibly cursing herself) but with that curse a read isn’t really possible today. I’m suspicious that Melissa could be and Ash could be. Kg hasn’t been around. Novak I think is good……
January 3, 2017 at 8:56 pm
StacyStace
Mark I believe could very well be a wolf but yet it could be first day issues. Honestly I don’t have a very good read on anyone yet. Today was a weird day but I think voting will say a lot.
January 3, 2017 at 8:56 pm
markfeagins
I haven’t disappeared anywhere. And you’re reading waaay too much into what I said. I was asking people to give me a chance to learn how to play. I voted Ash because they seemed sketchier overall to me than Stacy. Feel free to be suspicious of me, but beware of giving me too much credit. This is unfamiliar territory for me.

Seven’s a majority. Tiebreak rules, if necessary, would be the usual: 15 extra minutes, only the two in the tie are available for voting, and all current votes on those two are assumed to stay where they are (but can be switched).

“It’s a stormy night at Hogwarts, although there was no Quidditch match last Sunday,” Dumbledore thought, conflating two events that were unrelated. “However, it seems something is afoot. My Dumbly-sense is tingling.”
Dumbledore ran to the main hall fretfully, heaving loudly and swearing meaningfully. There, at his feet, was a dead body. As this is a magical school for children, Dumbledore had long since become accustomed to corpses all over the place, but this meant that Voldemort was back.
“No matter,” Dumbledore said, talkingly. “We beat him at the end of almost every book.”
Below him, the body of Blaise Zabini stared lifelessly into the abyss.
