Uncomfortable voting Star because it feels like Konan all over again (replacement comes in and gets piled), though tbf people are using Kpaca's actions for the vote apparently instead, but that's also it's own weird chunk of issues....ehhhh?
The role as stated at least fits the tone of the other strange roles so far, though the dark mark bit is indeed weird and the random chance immunity to actions isn't bringing any thematic elements of the character to mind, however that could be due to trying to work around a near done setup or what have you.
The role itself still doesn't feel crafted by a different author than the rest though, it's tonally consistent. I dunno if it's scum or town aligned but I think the abilities might be legit.
LW is trying to 1D-solve this game again, that's relatively normal.
Tom is very succinct with their posting, despite the gif-is-worth-a-thousand-words thing. @Tomsloger Could I possibly get you to post a verbose but useful post about things in general?
Rodemy is everywhere, at all times, they must rack up enormous frequent flier miles. They also seem very convinced that they are dead, and I'm not certain why they think they're the best NK target compared to others who are much more widely listened to and town read.
Axelrod I swear if you end up being the other Carrow or even scum, I'mma be either annoyed or impressed with that D1 post you threw up first. Probably both.
Orange still sounding towny in that their posts actually seem useful and logical and free of.... not angst, overt aggressive emotional investment or something. The logic itself hasn't really panned out or not panned out though, so instead I just have impressions, wheee.
TerRaine, feel like you shouldn't assume that just because the claimed role is weird, it means Star is scum. All the roles so far are weird besides like, the gravedigger and maybe one of the others, none of this stuff is standard fare. Think that's where your hangup is right now but I could be incorrect.
I have no idea how Goo's claimed affect on being targeted would relate to any death eater or death eater's kid. If true I suspect the role is just going to make me inquire as to Osie's thought process afterward. Though I would like to note that I was expecting someone to call the potential bluff and activate it by now, whatever it does.
Amy was out for a bit due to spontaneous tech explosions apparently..... *squint* @Amy Do you keep extensive notes or something? Have like a spreadsheet on another workspace?
@WMU Hey, how're you doing today?
JoeTerry..... Flaily town or good-at-pretending scum? I dunno what to do with this person they're being silly half the time and the other half they're hyperfocused on things it's weird.
Rhand is apparently a Tom Riddle, and is being lumped in with LW till at least tomorrow as a result.
I guess JoeTerry, Tom if they don't eventually become easier to parse or at least like... give more info? Or Goo? One of those three atm.
@Whisper "what about you, where do you plan on voting?"
.....Lemme make a separate post for this, keeping this bit here for temporal continuity... or something.
@TerRaine "As for the section of that flip that says darkmark helps his family...you're making a lot of assumptions. Does that mean his nuclear bio family? His aligned team as a "Family?" His death eater "family?""
...Damnit that's actually a point, all the Pure blood families are interrelated, that would actually work.
@Whisper (again) "even in the smash boards game he still voted and called people wolves"
I mean tbf I was calling Xivii and Bessie wolves for tunneling me, and Boomfrog a wolf cause of that explosion D1 so... possibly not the best reasons to do so?
I am Draco Malfoy. I have no actions, but there's a chance that any actions used against me will fail. When I gain a dark mark, I gain the ability to hinder a threat to my family. Unsure what exactly that means, but it seems to be different from the ones on flips so far. Probably something similar to Rod's dark mark if I had to guess
Huh. Well if that's literal "threat to family", wonder if that's just Lucius or we have a Narcissa in here...
Also now I think about it if this is second war, Draco could actually be Snape angel target because Narcissa made him swear to protect the kid... huh.
Part about actions failing is weird though. Not really certain how that was arrived at.
Lel, not exactly? Usually I logic things based on what my role is, what's been revealed, and to some degree behavior toward other confirmed or sudo-confirmed people. I seem to be lucky or good at determining who's going to be a scum target when I'm a PR, and I occasionally notice when someone is acting out of character suddenly.
That last bit is a slight wash atm because of how many people are in the game, and how little non-argumentative behavior was displayed for a long time, and nothing popping up so far.
@Whisper
"Trisscar said he doesn't have a wolf game, but I swear he gave me one before... "
*scratches head* Do you recall which game you received such in?
@Goo
"Did Triss day they were inexperienced?"
I don't actually recall what I've said in regards to expertise here, though I'm pretty sure that at some point someone said my play was bad or something, so I offered to show them other games where my playstyle is pretty much the same and use that to judge, not that they took me up on it.
I've played...I think it's four or five now?... games of forum mafia with this particular community, a few games of IRL maf a while back, and played or watched a lot of Town of Salem and Throne of Lies, both of which are wayyyy higher power floor than the stuff here. As I told Whisper, I've never been mafia in these forum games, and in fact I've gotten town power roles in all but one, usually screwed up a maf plan and then died the same night, twas amusing.

"Let this post serve as fair warning that I may well need to replace out over the next few days.

"So now we all get to get tested and hope for the best"
Oof. Luck with all of that mate.
@Amy @Whisper @Goo
Tbf judging by the weird roles so far I wouldn't be overly surprised if it's not a normal angel role.
Also Axel (seemingly) showed a lot of surprise as to how the role was designed D1, and didn't seem to be saying the role was bad in every game, just here? Could be misremembering.
@TerRaine
"To the grown ass men I work with. I currently am refusing to come off
Working remote cause they’re just disgusting"
Pretty sure people are just disgusting in general tbf.
@Starling "Triss, based on my role, I can say with 100% certainty that we aren't in the first war. " Welp that's gonna make things more obtuse. That adds a bunch of kids and possibly allies to the mix.
@Rhand Jugson seemed to be a somewhat impatient man, as shown when he shoved Dolohov aside after the latter had been hit with a Silencing Charm. Despite this he may have possibly cared about his comrades to an extent, as he may have been attempting to help Nott after he was injured when Lucius told him to "come here", though it's equally possible that he was merely trying to catch up to Harry Potter.
Ah yes....we mislynched and are struggling...OBVIOUSLY the answer is to do something the Word of Mod said NOT to do. A cunning strategy!
....No....not cunning. What's the opposite of that?
They said it would be ineffective, not that it was disallowed. Again, if Osie would prefer I not do this I will shut up about it immediately.
Yes, struggling. Gee I wonder if we should continue doing the exact same thing as before and hope it ends up with a different outcome. Oh wait there's a meme for that.
Modgaming, setupgaming, and flavourgaming will be particularly ineffective.Flavour is mostly random. The setup is unusual for me and unusual for MtGS. I'm probably going to laugh at you behind the scenes if you try this.
You are being.....deliberately scummy and that's suspicious as hell to me.
I did this before when Deadbananas asked me about it, and I've directly asked today with no reply. I'll stop if Osie wants me to, but they've said nothing about it to my knowledge, and I am confident in the patterns I'm seeing.
@TerRaine "This doesn't help town. We don't need to ability hunt. We need to scum hunt. "
*Looks at two mislynches and 3-4 NK'd town, 50 pages of arguments and no one listening to each other till Wisp came back in*
*Looks at you*
You'll have to excuse me if I'm doubtful as to the possibly of that helping at this point, I'm afraid.
