Behind the Masks 3: Hogwarts Castle

[Elusive Belle]

I'm here and ready to go! Hello to all as I am new to these particular forums just not the game

Can I be a Bantha??? Or do I need to choose from a preset list of animals?

There is no preset, can pretty much go with anything. The only preference is that it's an animal or creature of some sort but some goes into silly things such as oranges, socks, etc.

[Elusive Belle]

Varanus. please. Don't forget the final rule.
Rule #3: He will claim anything and everything. Pay no attention to any of it.

Anyway, good luck.

Not true, every time someone lies there is a small nugget of truth among it. Finding that nugget however is not always easy

[Elusive Belle]

Well, excuse me if I tried to tell them to ignore Varanus' shenanigans, for their own sake. But yeah, you're right.
On actual game related stuff, do you want to continue our tradition on this forum?

Would you honestly have it any other way?

[Elusive Belle]

Things go by rather slowly in these parts it seems

[Elusive Belle]

C'est la vie, it's a game worth waiting for

[Elusive Belle]

The inclination of the situation rose most hastily!

[Elusive Belle]

/Accept Dance

Unfortunately my first dance challenge must go to the Juggernaut as is typical for our routine, I'll give you a duel next time to make up for it if you so desire Komodo.

/Challenge The Juggernaut to a Dance

[Elusive Belle]

/Challenge the Komodo to a Dance

Duplicating your challenges is always the best strategy, with all the gifts floating around early though this will turn interesting quick.

[Elusive Belle]

/Accept Both

I figured one would go to Komodo but sure why not I'm already MAA bait so lets do this!

[Elusive Belle]

Small change to the OP: Wizard now has permanent Guess Immunity upon being revealed by using their power.

Why not make it for a few phases rather than permanent? Such as 2-3 phases then let them be guessable? By then they should have been able to amass at least one or two gifts for the immunity on their own

[Elusive Belle]

Well if someone starts to win everything they'll reveal themselves rather quickly don't you think?

Also you're not the student I am! Oh wait that's the other S, I'm the Soldier

[Elusive Belle]

Yes that is how the student works, meaning when someone starts beating everybody on both list we will know whom the student is.

[Elusive Belle]

/Deny

How about no on that one. I'll take a dance however if you want it next time. I'm already in enough hot water as it is.

[Elusive Belle]

Stop copying me, I'll cut you!

[Elusive Belle]

I've taken note of that, that's why I said cut and not shoot. I have other ways of ridding my opponents and copy cats

[Elusive Belle]

To be fair I did it first, besides my hide is already in hot water. I'm trying not to make it worse. Not that I'm the Soldier or anything or the MAA myself!

[Elusive Belle]

Should I be sending in those decisions now? I'd like to force Juggernaut to duel the Saiyan!

[Elusive Belle]

Let the fun begin! That should be all the challenges no?

[Elusive Belle]

That's what I said, maybe even a dance if you were so bold there!

[Elusive Belle]

So when do we get told when Juggernaut was forced into their challenge like I wanted?

Also I just noticed this but why is Royal third on the dance list? You'd figure Royal would be the best dancer, certainly better than the Thief and Musician can make themselves win anyways so they don't need to be that high.

[Elusive Belle]

4 gifts and I didn't lose once, come at me scrubs!

[Elusive Belle]

Not my fault for planning better for the best bounty, as for the poison though clearly I am the poisoner or at least in cahoots with them

[Elusive Belle]

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I am also the thief, add that to the list too

[Elusive Belle]

Let's do this! Leeroy Jenkins style

[Elusive Belle]

I vote we target the one whom was stalling the game for this!

Can we be told whom it was?

[Elusive Belle]

There is always the vote when we get to it, that is definitely always a thing

[Elusive Belle]

Hi there! And welcome!

[Elusive Belle]

/switch with crow

[Elusive Belle]

Dance with The Kitty Cat

Might I have this dance mein friend?

[Elusive Belle]

/vote Bantha

Otter and Bantha are getting two gift, figure should be one of them.

I'm curious to how you know the musician meddled there Komodo

[Elusive Belle]

Honestly just a mistake on my part, the way the results are posted here are different than I'm used to and slightly unorthodox and confusing

[Elusive Belle]

/Unvote Banta
/Vote Otter

I honestly can't remember if you can change your vote in this particular game, if not ignore this, If so I'm changing to Otter.
The Juggernaut makes a point with the gifts and I missed the third Otter on the other side of things.

Curious why despite after pointing this out several others continued to vote Bantha regardless.

[Elusive Belle]

I'm kind of feeling that the unicorn has something to hide with taking that approach to the vote.

What is there to hide? Pointing out among the losers whom will benefit most is a key aspect of the game from keeping someone from becoming stocked up for late game. Lets face it, he who stocks better wins in the long run.

Unicorn def seems to have the most experience with this game

I do on another site, although a few others here do as well, but first time playing here so the people are new. Still fun though regardless of having to get used to different changes like how results are posted and a few other things.

I agree. Especially since he left out a few people who are also getting two gifts, when he was mentioning execution fodder.

You'd also note that those left out did not lose, thus making it irrelevant to point them out when the topic at hand is whom to vote for. Although looking back I did miss the Platypus as well when making my comment, but eh I've already accepted I'll miss things with how these results are posted. Your initial comment against me would have made more sense had you called that out over the thing about The Otter. Which leads me to assume you might be working with The Platypus yourself Juggernaut.

[Elusive Belle]

Interesting to go for me, you're account for 2 gifts in total when still even with what they have now and from before The Otter still has more to me. Care to explain that yourself? Other than the obvious alliances?

So it would seem The Skunk is working with The Otter, not that I am surprised as they're both more than likely under The Bull like everyone else. It's a strange game of secrets when everyone reveals their role to the same person. I've hosted my own game in that scenario and didn't end well.

[Elusive Belle]

With my one challenge this phase and one remaining gift from phase 1. (As I have 1 deny left) That totals me to 2 gifts in all, which is still MUCH less than others whom also gain one this phase and kept their's from challenge phase 1.

Really if you want to target me specifically you'll need to do better than that as your reasoning otherwise how obvious you're being just shines through.

However as I said the game is already in an unfortunate position with one player (The Bull) having too much power. It's a shame people cant follow the basic idea of the game and just turn around to reveal their role to someone they are "aligned" with. For reference though, I was aligned with The Bull on one hand whom has told me they know many of the roles, while also being aligned with The Komodo and Juggernaut on the side.

[Elusive Belle]

vote unicorn eh

It would seem so, shame really I was going to go for The Bull. Cut the head off the snake if you will, someone else can take up that mantle then or just let them run the game. Really up to you. However I will say this Kitty Cat is high on the dance list, my assumption is Thief or Musician. Get your guesses ready

[Elusive Belle]

For those of you getting gifts, I highly recommend you get guess immunity, even if you didn't share your role specifically too many other's have so placing the last puzzle pieces where they go wont take much effort at all.

For future reference Loki, just like in the other forums something will have to be done about this. The game self defeats itself when the players reveal like this and essentially voids any changes you make when the results you get are tampered with by gameplay itself. Something to think about for future installments here. Probably make rules to prevent PMing each other entirely since it is such an issue.

[Elusive Belle]

I don't see how anyone is coming to the conclusion that people are sharing their roles

I can confirm it is happening, The Bull is the spearhead behind it with the numerous amounts of alliances they have. Otherwise it would be impossible, or at least highly unlikely to have 2 guesses like we did after just the first phase.

I can also confirm there will be many more guesses to come. Have fun with that

[Elusive Belle]

I won last time I gave you my role for freebies, let me remind you.

The circumstances in which you won was mostly because of the sharing though, otherwise would have more than likely been a different story. Mass guesses ruins the game by speeding it up too much and making certain roles stronger than they should be by shooting them to the end game too quickly.

[Elusive Belle]

I knew what I was getting into with Ika when they messaged me for an alliance, as I am sure they did so with many others. However with my head in the noose I'm not afraid to blow the whistle. So you guys know whom to target next and those who don't will be the ones whom made the "deal with the devil" if you will. Good luck with that but expect them to release a lot of information to be released once you do
