Harry Potter WW-Team Good Wins, Voldemort is defeated

There are worse ways to spend the time, but not many.

sweet. nailed iambic as unspeakable from day 1.

i mean, i also mocked the DE team to bluemoon's face when i admitted i was just playing w/ my food over the e-mail they sent that essentially sealed my fate.

but for my second time, i'll take a wash

Snatch wrote:I agree that we could have done a better job of balancing the game -- in particular, making it harder for the OOTP + the MWPP to link up, and weighting the objects so they had a better chance of falling into Evil hands.

On the other hand, Rajada had several of these roles, and it came down to the last day. So.

Rajada was designed to make cabals harder to form, and it didn't have a lone wolf role. the sorcerer also worked in Rajada, and Team Evil had more power to manipulate scans.

this game began with a good cabal of four players who instantly knew each other as 100% good and had three bonus lynches just for kicks.

and a bonus good cabal of three players who very soon knew each other as 99%+ good and had bonus magical powers (in the form of Dumbledore)

so by day one you have two functioning good cabals facing one dysfunctional evil cabal.

yeah, but two of the cabals can be effectively certain all members are pulling together

one of them can be absolutely certain all members are not pulling together

that... affects how they function

the game was fun as hell, especially after I'd painted myself into a corner before roles even got sent out, but good always wins in this Potterverse

I didn't get to duel anybody :cry:



EPILOGUE

Vanian H. Sensibleus awoke with a start and discovered he could not move, as though he were confined in a box, causing him roughly 1.4 seconds of panic before remembering he had replaced his regular bed with a coffin several weeks prior, because it had amused him. Clambering out of bed he quickly grabbed his clothes and his wand and almost left home in too much of a rush to note the messenger owl waiting patiently [on the windowsill] for him to arise, until it helpfully hooted at him. With a somewhat sheepish smile he turned around and checked in with it.


Vanian,

We Won, if you care. Take the day off.

Signed,
Amaryllis Wix
your boss [remember me?]

P.S. In fact, take infinity off. You're fired.


Not the best news, but Vanian would just have to console himself with the knowledge that he, and most of his newfound friends, were still alive. Wars Of Survival had a way of calibrating one's perspective. More time for the band, anyway. Maybe he would retire from professional wizardry and blend in with the muggles full time, wouldn't that be a lark? They had a certain charm. As did the low stress of being a big fish in a small pond.

As he walked past the Ministry building he started to turn up the steps to the main door before realizing it was no longer necessary. No more meetings to democratically condemn traitors would be held, and without them no more heated debates would devolve into seemingly unending chains of Wand Duels. Vanian would hardly miss them. It had been passingly amusing at the start, but yesterday he had been unable to even feign ghoulish glee in another doomed attempt to become King Of The Mountain and a one-man majority unto one's self. But then, when you had the biggest wand in Hogwarts [18 Inches Of Yew Wood Thank You Very Much] you didn't feel as much need to prove its potency.

Most wizards Vanian passed, and who passed him, were hooting and hollering, save for one dour looking Slytherin whose name escaped him at the moment. Something with an S, if he had to hazard a guess. He was muttering something about a lily. Or someone named Lily. Probably a casualty of the now-concluded war. Poor man. But Vanian quickly forgot all about him when he was almost knocked down by Emmanuel Selwyn and Wendy Oiseau as they ran down the Ministry steps, hand in hand and at arms length, their limbs making a bar of flesh which was responsible for depositing him on his backside. They apologized in unison, but Vanian waved them on, laughing and shaking his head. Why be upset? Their front line work had been indispensable in the past week, and he probably owed them his life. Vanian had chipped in as much as he dared, even reached out to the two of them separately, clandestinely sharing observations and conjectures.

"Have fun, you two!" he shouted, winking. Being able to talk with them openly, even briefly, was a welcome change from the brief, paranoid, secret exchanges on which they'd all gambled their lives.

An hour later, he would think of them again, at the pub, and words came to him quicker than usual.

That night, his band would have a new song.




As is hopefully evidenced by the fact that I insist on still playing after the game is over, I had a ball and I never tire of playing Werewolf with you guys. Thanks to Catullus, Snatch, and Palmer for putting this together and running it for us.

gotta admit this post blew my mind a bit

i don't remember hey look being mentioned once in the cabal


I floated him as a possibility in SECRET BACKCHANNELS because he was laying so low yet making sure to do just enough to stay active, but it was just an unfounded hunch on my part [laying low like that after all is also smart Seer play], and since I wasn't really in the cabal I have no idea if my contact thought it was worth passing along or not. Apparently not.

adamtrask, i'm sorry i got super paranoid about you. it was completely unfounded, just one of those things that's like I'VE CONFIDED SO MUCH OH MY GOD

although it was only like two days ago that this happened. i was like 99% sure you were good for the majority of the game.

luke was on board with the idea of you being evil for like a second and then got over it but was kind enough to continue indulge my paranoia

and duke for being rad and good at this

and the mods and dumbledore for letting me yell at them

Paranoia and the indulgence thereof is what this game is all about. :)

And I'm happy to hear you talking about Next Game already. Favorite thing to hear from someone who's just played with us for the first time.

this is super nerdy but

i got to work with the order of the phoenix which is something i've wanted since 2003 but never imagined would happen because, like, well, my delusions are limited to bradley cooper tbh

so that rules (not the bradley cooper thing)

the cabals joined without my interference (i think duke was the driving force) but working constructively together did not appear to be in the cards. duke and i tried really hard to keep the peace but were unsuccessful. and it wasn't anything terrible it was just that the order and mwpp were operating differently and nobody wanted to change how they ran things

which in retrospect is actually amazing and one of my favorite things for reasons i can't explain, but at the time it was pretty frustrating because BOYS

and then what do you know, differences were finally put aside, we spent the better part of an entire day working together with only minor arguments, and the death eaters imploded
