Hogwarts Mafia Round 1 /ooc discussion

I'm going to have to go back and reread the mafia portion, but for the serial killer - I got the impression that they had a pet rat before?

I think the serial killer is possessed by Voldemort and he was commenting on his previous assistance from Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew).

Sounds like a noob. First years would have just gotten their wands...

Oh ya...that was definately Voldermont...

The question though is why?

Why is he in the school as a student?

And what do our characters have to do with this insideous plot?

Laha

Ah well that's going to make it difficult for people who haven't read all the books then =/

the mafia scenario explains how the SK gets possessed by Vold if you read it...

I skimmed it =x

One of two things is going on and i am leaning towards a tom marvolo riddle theme. Lord V, was the only one who posessed the Avada Kedavra curse as well as the one that caused encrusiating pain to its recipients. Now, never has it been mentioned that he taught his death eaters these curses so that leads me to believe that Lord V has once again entered Hogwarts in the form of a student.

I know David was turned into a rat and everyone would seem tall, but there is an unusually high number of references to "looming" and the like... maybe a tall student?

Also, the wand thing has me wondering... how many people mentioned having a wand in their backpack? How many tall people?

As students of Hogwarts, not having a wand in your backpack wouldn't necessarily mean you didnt have one. My character always has her wand, though she wouldn't carry it in her backpack, as it wouldn't be handy. She would either have it in her hand, in a pocket of her robe, or tucked elsewhere that it would be handy.

Just got home and read it real fast - need to go shower then I'll clue dig. DOn't vote till I do!

well i think i have an idea on a way to clue it down they turned him into a rat so the only ones that we know can turn people into animals are transfigures and the one that killed him has to have been at hogwarts long enough to learn spells to kill like someone who likes defence against the dark arts so who ever the serial killer is has to know dark arts what im coming at and someone in the mafia has to know transfiguration

My take so far (and I might be totally off the deep end) - I haven't really bothered to look much at the Mafia since the first hit always seems so vague. I focused a lot on the SK, and came up with:

[quote]The voice of the student stated clearly and he could hear footsteps as they walked in an unhurried fashion towards him.[quote]
-So the SK seems pretty cool and collected.

-The references to waving a wand around and having to test it first hint at either a first year or someone who likes their wand a whole lot.

-They use a charm (petrificus totalis)

-They have an "awful leer." But this could be because they're posessed by Voldy.

In the same vein as above, I also focused on the spell cast, except I looked at the charm instead of the avada kedavra, which is probably recognizable by everyone, young or old.

Dante Duville struck me as interesting, as he lists charms and history of magic as his favorite subjects, and also claims in his bio to study things a whole lot, to the point of making people uncomfortable. This could certainly qualify as leering, imo.

Also there's Ashmore the wand freak, who wants to study wands and wand-making, He would have a reason to 'test' the wand, but I didn't really see anything to lead me to believe he would wave it around happily.

Then there's Rorri, who likes charms, has a spare wand in her backpack that might also need testing, and has a charms book in there as well.

Others who listed charms as their favorite subject - Thaddeus Hendershot, Emeraude, Aniyah, Jerele, and Angelina.

This might be a weak argument I suppose, but it stuck out to me.

Could just be testing the death curse in this kids body - though that seems weak for the way it was phrased

Actually, that would be incorrect. The Death Eaters were known to use the unforgivable curses (Neville's parents are in St. Mungo's from torture by the cruciatus curse) it's just that most other people won't use them because they're so horrible. We already know Voldie is in a student from the scenario post though.

Petrificus totalis is a pretty common charm - it's taught in first year charms, I believe. It's common nature wouldn't necessarily mean you would have to be a charm freak to know it. This would support an argument that the SK is a first year in addition to the wand amazement ideas. Perhaps Voldie wants to make sure the kid is up to casting spells what with being so young and untrained.

well the fact that tall people are mentioned could not mean so much. Everyone one is tall when your are the size of a rat...

On the point about wands... they are a dime a dozen here...its like finding a gun at a gun show... go figure... so until there are more hints about the wand, I feel its a dead end.

"“Well an owl looks like a bit of a trick according to this book and….well I don’t think Lucius Malfoy would much fancy being turned into a toad…”

Just a note, Elise Meyhr mentions keeping transfiguration book in her backpack and it appears thats what the mafia is looking at, it is also her favorite subject

I do agree Blake MacGregor looks very suspicious because of the wand fascination and the waving around

Edit, Namilah also has a transfig textbook

Lol, first of all. The Mafia and the SK ID’d the same person for a hit. That is funny. Mai was the last of the Mafia in the last game (and the ultimate winner). My thoughts are that this may have been a revenge hit from players of last Mafia (only a feeling).

My data…

CONCLUSION

Mafia could be anyone. Transfiguration is the only clue that is available to ID who is who. Anyone’s guess at this point.

The SK is another deal. I think there is definitive evidence.
A – Ties to the Dark Lord, Peter Pettigrew
B – The Wand blurb in the round 1 description of the SK

I think I'm on to something but need more time - no voting!

Actually if you go back and look at past games you'll see that the first hit is by both the SK and the mafia on a mod character.

I'm modding this game, Duexe, that wasn't my personal character.
