*** RULES ***

- Your objective is to rule Hogwarts; to do this, you must eliminate your opposing faction.

- Mafia is allowed 1 kill each night; they will win if they kill all pro-town roles, students and the serial killer

- Town will win if they kill all Mafia members and the serial killer

- The serial killer is allowed 1 kill each night; he wins if he kills everyone else and is the sole standing survivor

- Each day phase, every Hogwarts resident must vote for whoever they think should be handed to the Dementors; this person will die and no longer be a part of the game

- In the event of a tie in the number of votes at the end of dayphase, there will be an extended period of 1 hour for players to change their votes, should they wish to do so; if at the end of the extended period the tie still persists, BOTH players will be lynched; if a player missed the original voting deadline he will NOT be able to cast his vote during the extended period

- You cannot miss two votings in a row; should this happen, you will be immediately removed from the game, and lynch will still commence based on voting.

- You are NOT allowed to make public the message sent you by the writers to tell you your role, either entirely or in part; should this happen you will be removed from the present game and possibly future editions as well. You can share what your information means, but you cannot share exact text.

- Once you're dead, you're dead. Do no talk about the game to still active players, or post in the forum thread. This will be considered an act of influence upon the remaining players, and will get you banned from future games. We all like to have fun, and play by the rules, so please keep that in mind.

Everything he says screams that he is mob.

"Our cops need to use a double blind system with the risk of a player changing sides. Aka one cop investigates per night, he does not tell other cop who he investigated. Each cop runs his own team only reporting who was revealed townie but died. Only the first two people checked should be exempt from this a little. They should know the first person in the other team in case their cop dies. Each team should know their full team but maybe fake who is cop in one team and not the other team... or some other method of fakery."

Our cops only have 1 investigation per night, not 1 investigation each, so I do not see how this will work...

The tieing up stuff sounds odd as well. How are we going to get info about voting patterns when we make agreements to tie up? Waiting longer will only allow more night phases to pass. This would allow us to get more investigations in, but mind you every night 2 people will be killed (very likely townies). We might run out of time before we get enough investigations...

Except that when you explain the strategy like this they will know and just cooperate .

I just woke up... but what??

You want cops to keep to themselves their investigations, so simply if one gets killed off we lose all that info that theyve acquired? Sounds pretty pro mafia to me!

Are you trying to get a cop killed? If they dunno who each other are they could vote to have them lynched.. bad idea is bad!

Then you could be potentially giving SK info that will get us all killed?

/smh

- Crutio!

Bellatrix Lestrange kept practicing her favorite Unforgivable Curse on anything that moved. Her latest victim was a poor mice which happened to be roaming the wrong place of Hogwarts' castle, at the wrong time. Her eyes were shining as she tortured her victim, just like she had done to Longbottoms years ago, driving them to insanity.
The Death Eaters were gathered in the Slytherin common room, keeping the appearence of simple 3rd year students.

- Stop it! We have more importants things to do than waste our energy on rats! - Lucius Malfoy was very nervous. Ever since professor Dumbledore had alerted the school to the presence of Death Eaters, Malfoy couldn't control his restlessness. - If Dumbledore manages to catch us, we're all going to Azkaban! I don't know about you, but I don't plan on being fed to the Dementors! We should have never come here!

- Be quiet, Malfoy! How dare you question the Dark Lord's decisions? I should teach you your place, the same way I did to that rat!

As Lucius Malfoy grabbed his own wand, another figure spoke:

- Put down your wands, both of you!

- My lord, he's a traitor! He will give us all up to save himself!

Lord Voldemort examined the look on Lucius Malfoy's face. He looked right into his eyes, and slowly walked away.

- No, my faithful Bellatrix. Lucius may not be the epitome of courage, but his heart is loyal to me. I understand his concerns, Dumbledore seems to be getting very close to discovering our true identities, and we must not let this happen. However, an attack on the Headmaster himself is dangerous, as he is no doubt well protected. We must act differently tonight.

- Let me go, my lord, tell me who to kill! I will make them all regret the day they refused you as their master!

- No Bellatrix, I will take care of this myself. I have a very personal message to send to the Boy Who Lived...

*********

(Many hours later)

- Come on Ron, keep up!

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger had decided they couldn't stay quiet any longer. Using Harry's Invisibility cloak, they had decided they would go out every night to investigate Hogwarts and try to find who the cursed Death Eater's true identities were.

- I've told you Hermione, we can't possibly both fit inside the Cloak! We need to split up and take our chances!

- That's insane Ron! What if they find us?

- Well if they do, I'll teach them! Now you go this way and I'll go that way!

Ron suddenly jumped out from under the Cloak and ran into the cover of the night.

Ronald Weasley get back here! - shouted Hermione, but to no avail -  Oh, what a hardeadheaded fool!

**********

- I'll teach them, I will! - Ron muttered words of vengeance to himself as he walked past proessor Snape's Potions classroom - they are going to regret killing our friends!

- Are you sure, young Weasley?

Ron turned around, just in time to witness Lord Voldemort disapparating before his very eyes.

- You! I'm going to kill you for what you did to our friends! Where are you?? Show yourself villain!!

Ron looked at every direction, and just as he started running to tell Harry what he had seen, he was blasted into the air by a powerful curse. Ron tried to move, but his limbs weighed a thousand tons. He tried to scream, but his lips were sealed. However, he could see the Dark Lord apparating before him, from within a cloud of black smoke.

- You are much too young, Weasley, and it hurts me to take the life of a Pure Blood. But you have kept some bad companies, and now you must pay for your treachery to your race! AVADA KEDAVRA!

Ron pleaded with his eyes, but Voldemort was not moved. A jet of green light emanated from Voldemort's wand and hit Ron square in the chest, instantly killing him

- First your friends, but soon it will be your turn, Harry Potter. Your fate awaits you.

**********

(In the morning)

- Professor Dumbledore, please come fast!

- What is it??

- It's Torqez Weasley, professor! He... He's been killed!

*************************************************************

Ramza wasn't a very particularly bright student, but he loved Hogwarts and was a proud member of Dumbledore's Army. He stayed behind, while the rest of the students fled home. He wouldn't be any use in his Muggle home, so if he was to make any difference in this fight, it would have to be on Hogwarts grounds. He wanted to help find the Deatheaters, but didn't know where to turn to. He had decided to just start out on his own, and see what he could come up with. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before he came across something suspicious in the corridor.

Remus Lupin wasn't a bad man. In fact, he was quite proud of his role in the Order of the Pheonix. He had come to Hogwarts to help protect the school from the Deatheaters and Dementor's alike. Unfortunately, he also had a 'different' side to him, that he had no control over. He would take preventive measures, but during the night, he wasn't to be messed with or trusted. Unfortunately, this night he was off chasing a Dementor away from the edge of the Forbidden Forest, when he realized how late it had gotten.

He took off and ran full speed for Hagrid's hut, but did not make it to safety in time. His howls could be heard for miles, as he transformed into his full werewolf form. Smelling fresh prey, he sprinted towards Hogwarts, and crashed through the door. Inside the hallway stood a shocked Ramza. Before Ramza could mutter a word for any defensive spell, Lupin lunged forward and took a full mouth of Ramza's neck. With his immensely powerful jaws, he quickly snapped them shut, and popped Ramza's head clean off his body, still with a shocked expression on his face.

The werewolf lapped up the blood of his kill, and ate until his fill, before stalking back off into the night to get a good run in and stretch his legs after a beautiful meal.
