    The spinoffs haven't done it yet, so I see no reason to expect that they will.

    I mean, this is terrible and transparent, but I'm not interested in getting lynched tonight. And honestly this has been a hard day phase for me to figure out and I'm running out of things to say. I know you guys have been touting my point about the Blaine/Cat as proof that I'm capable of well-thought analysis, but that's really not the case. But if you guys believe that, there's probably not much point keeping me around anyway. I don't really know where I'm going with this. I guess at this point, with less than an hour to go, whatever happens happens. But even so, I'm not really interested in getting lynched.

    A heads-up, since I forgot to mention earlier: I'm going to be at a wedding this weekend, so my presence will be reduced (though not gone).

    Sorry, don't know the characters well enough!
    Gryffindor primary, Gryffindor secondary

    N, in true Gryffindor primary fashion, is led by a strong instinctual moral code. He refuses to compromise any one of his beliefs, and would fight alone if he had to. His passion for his cause is what inspires so many to join Team Plasma. But as he continues to encounter the player character and their Pokemon, he's forced to continually ask himself if he still believes in the cause. Every time he commits himself to the path he's started on, but every time he's less certain. At the story's climax, his mounting uncertainty, his loss to the player in battle while at the height of his power, and his father's sudden betrayal throw him headfirst into a process known as stripping--Ghetsis' revelations call into question every choice N has ever made, every ideal he's believed, every truth he's adhered to, and leave him drowning in a sea of uncertainty. It's in this state of mind that he takes his dragon and leaves Unova, trying to find answers. Ultimately, his search leads him two years later back to where he started: leading Team Plasma. But now it's a new, reformed Team Plasma, working for true harmony between humans and Pokémon instead of the farce of his kingship of Team Plasma. N has lost his innocence and naïveté, but not his integrity or his passion for peace and justice.

    As a Gryffindor secondary, N holds even tighter to his beliefs, and his intense sincerity draws people to him. When met with opposition, he stands and fights, refusing to bow. Either his opponent will break, or he will, and he will not break easily. N is also brutally honest, asking hard-hitting questions. (Though admittedly, part of that bluntness could be from a childhood surrounded by Pokemon and maybe three humans ever until his adulthood.) He can also be reckless, seen in his failed attempt to rescue the player character from Ghetsis during the scheme with Kyurem.

    Slytherin primary, Gryffindor secondary

    From the beginning, Riku's focus has always been on his small core group of friends, making him a Slytherin primary more than anything. This is the reason he's seduced by Maleficent so easily in the first game; she makes him think that Sora has turned on that friendship, not only with him, but with Kairi. But as time passes, Maleficent stokes unhealthy self-interest in Riku, focusing on Sora's perceived abandonment, his arguably romantic feelings for Kairi, and the Keyblade he was promised. Only when broken free of Ansem's control does Riku come to himself and allow himself to be locked in the Realm of Darkness. But once he finds his way out through Castle Oblivion and discovers that Sora is not only asleep but in danger, he throws himself into rescuing his friend above all else. Inevitably this leads to the tragic conflicts with Xion and Roxas, who want nothing more than to live their own lives, but must cease to exist if Sora is to ever awaken. Three guesses who Riku chooses, and the first two don't count. By the time KH2 rolls, around, Riku has undergone petrification, a process by which a Slytherin primary loses their inner circle and closes themselves off. He's gotten too close to the darkness, he feels, and is unworthy of friendship or loyalty or trust. It takes all the way until the Mark of Mastery exam for Riku to un-petrify. And by this point, he's also allowed himself to expand his circle of care to all the worlds, having known very personally the horrors of darkness. But if push comes to shove and he's forced to choose his friends or the worlds...

    As a Gryffindor secondary, Riku never compromises his integrity. Yes, his views change, but he never professes to be anything other than himself (KH2 identity theft notwithstanding). He means what he says and he says what he means. Dishonesty is abhorrent to him (his stint as Ansem only fuels his destructive cycle of self-hate). When he comes up against obstacles, you know he's only going to power through them, one way or another. When he's declared a Keyblade Master, it comes as a complete surprise to him, as he can't see his passion and integrity through all the self-hate he's endured. But those who know him best know the strength of his heart and his unyielding determination.

    Slytherin primary, Ravenclaw secondary

    Artemis is very much concerned primarily with herself and her hunters, which is classic Slytherin primary. I can't think of any actual examples from mythology, but it's clearly evident in the Percy Jackson as well as the Heroes of Olympus series. Of course she cares about stopping the end of the world, but her priority will always be her band of maiden hunters. And as a Ravenclaw secondary, she relies on skills she has already accrued both as a hunter and as a goddess to accomplish her wants and needs. I'm sorry this is short but it's been a while since I've read the Rick Riordan books and I don't know a lot of mythology without them. But this is definitely the vibe I get for her.

    Lawful Evil
    Gryffindor primary, Slytherin secondary

    You may not glean it immediately upon meeting Qrow, but he is definitely led by a moral code. Would he be a part of the Ozlluminati otherwise? He knows what he believes to be right, and he goes all-in to see it through. And, if need be, he'll do it completely on his own. How many solo missions has he completed for Ozpin, after all? And who's he answering to when he takes Ozpin's place?

    Qrow is very flexible, too, able to switch tactics on the fly and subsume whatever role is necessary, fitting him as a Slytherin secondary. It's even possible that his image of the loose cannon drunkard is a construct intended to mislead others. Oh, look, Winter's here; time to mess with her head. Wait, hang on, that's Ironwood and Ozpin coming up; time to put my weapon away while I let her charge at me in a fury. Is that a giant scorpion behind James? No problem. Ozpin's missing, so we need a leader to take his place. Why not me? He drops all pretenses around Ruby, Yang, and the rest of the Ozlluminati, knowing that he can relax around them. As a result, they get to witness his unflinching honesty.

    Hufflepuff primary, Gryffindor secondary

    Having not watched Torchwood, but having seen most of his Doctor Who appearances, here's what I got:

    I initially sorted Captain Jack as a Slytherin primary. When we first meet him, he has an inner circle that consists of himself and himself alone. After his adventure with The Doctor and Rose in WWII London, he adds them to his circle, and later Martha, Mickey, Donna, Ianto, Gwen, the Torchwood crew... That's when I realized that he was a Hufflepuff primary, building himself a community. Hufflepuff primaries are loyal to their communities before necessarily being good or right, and Jack has certainly been morally dubious, butting heads with The Doctor over it. I want to say that Jack was even at some point a burned Hufflepuff--someone who wants and needs community, but for whatever reason has found that having one is unsafe and cut themselves off out of despair.

    As a Gryffindor secondary, Jack's solution to problems is largely charging at them head-on, keen to challenge and break rules. He also has a knack for improvisation and making things up as he goes, and his commitment to be himself draws others to follow his lead.

    Whoops, missed posting this last part.

    So if Cal is the cop, saying so now is fatally ill-advised, since her only read so far may have been a townie. And frankly, at this point I think we should drop the subject altogether. It's a dangerous thing to speculate openly about.

    Okay, gotcha.

    Even if Cal is the cop, that means she's only been able to do one read so far anyway. And looking back at this day, the only player she's really tried to divert votes from (besides herself) is al, who she believes is town. So if Cal were the cop, I think her only read so far would have been that, and that she may not even know any mafia players. Of course, this is all guesswork, but still.

    Hang on, for whom would it be bad if we were to go back and look at her reads if she were the cop? Because I can think of only one group who would be in danger from that.

    Just because she thinks she's not going to last the night doesn't mean that it's going to happen, though. People get unexpectedly killed all the time in Mafia.

    Agreed. Revealing the cop is a terrible idea, especially when we're only on Day 2.

    Cop, please do not reveal yourself.

    I'm not sure what more I can say right now? Not enough has happened since my last post for me to really change what I've said.

    Okay, I've read back through all the messages from Day 2 now. So, here we go:

    TOWN

    • Marushi is too pro-town in her posting and advice to reasonably be mafia. If she were mafia, yes, she'd be winning the town's trust with all her help, but at what cost? She'd be incurring a huge risk in trying to get us to play better.
    • Mixt, I feel, is doing the same thing as Marushi, even with his smaller post count.
    MAFIA
    • Calxiyn's behavior has been erratic all day, starting with the bizarre defense of al, and her subsequent defensiveness of her post. It's a striking contrast to her confidence on Day 1. Maybe she's getting nervous after the first kill?
    • Cat~ is the one who participated the most in the cop speculation, I believe, and only one group benefits from knowing who the cop is. When pressed, her responses feel evasive and inconclusive.
    I'm not going to vote for her at this moment because she's already halfway to a hammer and I don't want us to hammer when we still have 24 hours to debate and discuss, but I want to hear more from Cat.[DOUBLEPOST=1467686237][/DOUBLEPOST]Realized as I clicked post that I probably should have tagged @Cat~ at the end there.

    Hoo boy.

    To al:

    1. I think Judge's suspicion based on my hesitation in unvoting was fair; I'd have been suspicious of the same thing. It's been a long time since I've seen Judge active on the site, so it's hard for me to get a read on how much of his playing is his personality vs. how much is playing the game.
    To everyone else since you're kind of all asking the same thing:

    If I had to make a guess at who's mafia at this point...I think I'd go with Calxiyn and/or Cat. I don't have anything substantial to back this up, but it's just a vibe I'm getting. All of Cal's posts have been reasonable and logical, but I feel as if there's an undercurrent of ruthlessness. Maybe it's just her Cinder theme messing with my perception. And Cat--I know this is rich coming from me; this is my...fourth post in this day cycle? and I've contributed approximately nothing?--comes off as evasive to me. Kind of like she's sliding around? I dunno. Like I said, nothing substantial. I'm still trying to go back through stuff to see if I can come up with anything more. You guys move fast.
