Murder At Hogwarts

[Thematthew]

All votes matter, we don't know how much magic power each vote is worth.

[igordragonian]

Thematthew seems too sure of himself. Let's teach him a lesson.' Igor grumbled grimmly

[Elenna]

I can also Tea Leaves, so four people, and everyone in the Order can also Tea Leaves and, if not bothered by other priorities, grab some ingredients and Visions each night. If we don't find Voldie, we'd lynch Inner Circle, if we had no more Inner Circle we'd lynch uncooperative Death Eaters, if we had none of those we'd lynch Order.

We can all scry. Kill spells will never reach due to Switches.

Garraban is IC.

If I understand correctly, your plan is to scry people to see a) their number of spellbooks, and b) the powers they used last night. Then if the numbers show that they must be getting an extra Voldie bonus, you know it's Voldemort. So you'd need to spend several spellbooks on Tea Leaves for that to work.
I agree with thematthew that I'd be worried about Voldie not using all his spellbooks.

AvatarVecna: Do scrying spells (e.g. Tea Leaves or Visons) tell you how much power the target put into each spell, or just what spells they used?

In any case it looks like most of the Death Eaters who are voting are siding with thematthew, so I think agreeing with them will give me the best chance. Therefore, Lex-Kat.
I actually think that if you can find Voldie with Tea Leaves, your plan would have a decent probability of not killing as many Death Eaters, but I'm not convinced of that "if". Also, this is more thematic RP-wise.

As an aside, don't target Murska with kill spells, he has a one shot item that allows him to become immune to all spells for a turn, at the cost of being unable to cast any himself.

I'm sorry for giving him access to it, I had no idea he was Order at the time. I'll spend my time making copies tomorrow and will distribute then to anyone who can show me proof of being inner circle.

I'd say thematthew is pretty confirmed inner circle since there haven't been any counterclaims.

Speaking of items, I have a bag of magic dust and a pair of carved wooden dice from the Room of Hidden Things. Think I should use them?

Elenna, the reason I'm voting for Lex and not Murska s that She's the more dangerous of the two. He's a Diviner, so his spell bonus is not to any kill, bane, void, or switch spells.

Murska is so desperately clinging to his plan here because I'm right. If Lex wasn't an order member he would have used that to discredit me by letting her get lynched, because that is the stronger play and he doesn't have the resources to care about the Death Eaters winning.

Lynch Lex, because Murska is proving me right now, then rob the crap out of them in the middle of the night. They will only have two people, and don't have enough kill mojo to kill more than one person with a decent magic score.

Fair enough, I hadn't considered that Murska is basically proving you right about Lex.

AvatarVecna: Do scrying spells (e.g. Tea Leaves or Visons) tell you how much power the target put into each spell, or just what spells they used?

Divinations that report powers (whether powers used by the target or on the target) do in fact report the power level of the spell as well, in a format like "Obliviate P4" or "Herbalism P2", although it does not indicate who the Vision target was targeting/targeted by for those spells.

[Eggel]

When Murska first posted about the plan to win, I'm being honest, I almost sided with him. But as I think Elenna pointed out, there really is no way to find voldemort through scries. Having alignment shown through scries would make things so much easier. But alas, here we are.

The way I see it, finding Voldemort three times without knowing alignment is very hard to do (the Order hasn't done it yet in three nights.)
Finding Order members is really easy to do, considering we know specific names (Lex-Kat)

thematthew

To clarify, who are the other confirmed Order members? There's Murska and igor, did I miss anyone else?

[AvatarVecna]

Apologies, apparently I missed that Eggel borrowed library books as well. I'm really not as on top of things as I should be.

[Generic-Guy]

All i got from the hidden room roulet are spellbooks and food...
And is Visions not a 5/5 spell whit a chance that someone is a fool? And can be fooled by switching? And banns? And Voiding?

Also, as Deatheater whit a Transfiguration/Dark Arts Combo, i can say for sure that spells can be powered to 5 whit only 3 Spellbooks. Every argument of the Order is now invalid.

Murska, Lex-Kat, Igor... That are all?

[Murska]

I agree with thematthew that I'd be worried about Voldie not using all his spellbooks.

Tea Leaves also shows me how many spellbooks they have.

Anyway, we'll be targeting kill spells on those people who are not IC and are voting for us, in the hopes we get lucky. If you want to stay out of it, vote off-wagon.

Meeting Four Ends

The arguments that day were loud, and for once rather focused. As the day drew to a close, one faction grew stronger in number than the other, and the leader struck down their target in anger.

Results

Lex-Kat was lynched. They were a Herbology Expert Order Member.

thematthew was deputized.

Night Four begins, and will end in ~72 hours.

[Disc Lorde]

Disc Lorde slumps down in his chair, exhausted. "Bloody Peeves," he mutters. He gradually breaks into laughter as the other professors make accusations, claims, and requests for aid. "So it was Murska. I told you lot, didn't I? We could have taken care of him and his Order already, but you decided to point your wands at me and force me to lay off him to save my own skin. Well I say we lynch..." He realizes that everyone else has already killed someone. "...nevermind."

(Started to post and was ninja'd by the narrator. Oh well.)

- - - Updated - - -

(Was going to vote one of the people who voted for me for lynch, and myself for deputy, with RP.)

[igordragonian]

Disce Lord, you traitor!" Igor growled.
"Trying to save your own skin. Eh?"

[Eggel]

Isn't there supposed to be a deputy?

[AvatarVecna]

Isn't there supposed to be a deputy?

Apologies, deputy has been officially declared in the End Of Meeting post; thematthew was deputized.

[Disc Lorde]

Disce Lord, you traitor!" Igor growled.
"Trying to save your own skin. Eh?"

Disc Lorde raises an eyebrow. "Traitor? I don't remember agreeing to die for your Order, Igor. And yes, I certainly am trying to save my own skin. My apologies to the Dark Lord, but I never expected to have to die for him."

[igordragonian]

"We both know you are an order member as well."

[Generic-Guy]

"Professor Disc. When you are a member of the Order, you will die as the last one. And shouldn't you be one, or change sites after all other are killed and their bodys burned as warning for that that follow, i am sure we can arange a unbreakable vow for you. If our Lord agrees, of course. Haveing a spy in their lines can be usefull. 'Disc Lord, the survivor of the slaugther on hogwart survived to warn the Order.' But it isn't the same Disc Lord they used to infiltrate us..."

[flatfooted]

A ghostly form flits down from the ceiling and calls out to the assembled wizards and witches.

"Oi! How many death eaters does it take to stir a cauldron?"
"Just one; they put their wand in the cauldron and the earth revolves around them!"

Cackling laughter echoes throughout the room and a face materializes on the back of Duck999's head. "Am I doing it right Dark Lord? Find an empty headed professor and take up residence in the empty brain pan?"

[Generic-Guy]

If i could, i would call the ghostbusters... Wait, we got a guys for this in the ministerium?

[GrayDeath]

The moderately Evil looking Professor, for once, silently watches all this.
Stonefaced.

[Generic-Guy]

"Can someone bring me a Owl? I am going to write to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Spirit Division. I am not going to take care of this ghost, the poltergeist is allready more than enogth..."

[AvatarVecna]

Between travel time, shopping, and family, I'm going to have fairly limited access to the forum until after New Years. I've still got time to answer questions, if any arise, but I don't have the handful of hours in a row I'd need to sit down and hammer out all the Night Action details without losing track of things - I barely manage to keep track of things as it is.

The Night will end New Years day.

[Generic-Guy]

This is going to be a long night...
I claim the salty popcorn.

[Elenna]

Cool, I'm going to be away between Dec 24 and Dec 30 (inclusive) anyways.

[GrayDeath]

This is going to be a long night...

You can have it, if you like.

I am more of a Peanut-guy anyway.

[Anonymouswizard]

Yep, long night. Just two and a bit days until Christmas (here at least), so hopefully I'll get something good then to help pass the time.

Also don't hog ALL the salty popcorn, some of us hate the sweet stuff and I don't want to miss the action getting more.

Of coure i will share^{_{a bit}}of the popcorn, just expect that when you seek it, it is probably whit me.

Well, to pass time: I vote in the color #AFEEEE to night-lynch this flatfooted ghost. His terible sence off humor must be PUN-ished! He can't ex-spectre to get away with this... Got anyone a vacuum-cleaner?

PS: I think not this will affect in any way this game.

[Disc Lorde]

Any update on when the night will end and the game will continue?

[AvatarVecna]

Any update on when the night will end and the game will continue?

Will be done Friday at noon.

[Anonymouswizard]

Will be done Friday at noon.

Can we get a time zone? Because I'm personally in GMT, and I'm sure there are people in several other time zones wandering about this castle, It'll allow us to know when to check the thread.
