Well, I never really saw what was so suspicious about Mas in the first place, so I'm fine to move on.

1. I never said I did noy buy his ability. I was still sceptical on his alignment though. As others noticed, a double voter could also be a Harkonnen.bigAl wrote:Such as:Nazgul wrote:Such as?bigAl wrote:Nazgul is using some pretty weak arguments IMHO.How do youNazgul wrote:Because of the name claim - before that I did not buy your story.notbuy an ability that is so obvious?
Also voting Mas for no (stated) reason.
2. The Maz vote is bandwagoning, nothing more, nothing less. You know, the kind of vote that is required to get the game moving or everyone stalls at 2 votes. And I did give my reason:"put the pressure on".
I am not happy with a Thufir Hawat claim, as he did turn around in the course of the book, and worked for the Harkonnens. He could still be a recruitable traitor - although he did not really commit treason in his opinion in the book.
For now,
Unvote Maz Medias
Bye - do not lynch me in my absence - ask the mod for a replacement then, please.

Master of assasins, well I think its believable of course, unless we get a counter, which we could since we haven't everyone post yet for a chance to counterclaim. But Hawat is definately one to watch being a safe claim I would think.
Talitha, you were gonna vote N_lich up there...

He did work for the Harks for a while when he thought the Atreides were dead, right? Though he was secretly trying to bring him down from the inside.

Talitha, there are, of course, no reasons that I have for scum having safe claims, I'm just very ready to consider it.

He/I was also under the influence of Vladimir's residual poison. He also also chose to die rather than harm Paul-Muad'dib.bigAl wrote:He did work for the Harks for a while when he thought the Atreides were dead, right? Though he was secretly trying to bring him down from the inside.
He's pretty indisputably a pro-Atreides character. Saying he's not would be like saying Gurney Halleck might be scum because he worked for the smugglers.

I've just finished Dune and am trying to get ahold of Dune Messiah-- but I was under the impression that since Thufir Hawat was dependent on the Harkonnen poison and was acting as Master of Assasins for the Harkonnens he had semi- transferred his loyalty, although again I haven't read the later installments of the series.
When I hear any man talk of an unalterable law, the only effect it produces upon me is to convince me that he is an unalterable fool.

You DO realize, the last time Dune was ran at this site, Gurney Halleck was scum, right?Maz Medias wrote:He/I was also under the influence of Vladimir's residual poison.

I'm pretty sure that he didn't know about the poison in the books (unlike the crappy Patrick Stewart movie), but that's rather unimportant.Maz Medias wrote:He/I was also under the influence of Vladimir's residual poison. He also also chose to die rather than harm Paul-Muad'dib.
From the opening post I get the impression that the Atreides/Harkonnens are straightforward town/scum, but can never be truly sure. I'll leave it at that for now, let's move on to lynching scum...

Irrelevant. It's still a specious argument to question his loyalty in terms of this game because he did, at one point in the book, work for someone other than the Atreides.BabyJesus wrote:You DO realize, the last time Dune was ran at this site, Gurney Halleck was scum, right?Maz Medias wrote:He/I was also under the influence of Vladimir's residual poison.

TCT perhaps? and in that case I don't think he is a character we want around both for the numeric change and the ability that I can see him having going to the mafia...
The more I hear the more uneasy I'm getting, but I still can't pinpoint it to a vote.

Even if he did serve the Harkonnen, it's obvious that he wouldn't own up to it. I am inclined to give Maz Medias the benefit of the doubt for now, since Thufir was a pro-Atreides character, by my reading of the series.babyjesus wrote:interesting. Do you serve Atreides or Harkonnen?
Going back and rereading the thread, I want to:
unvote, vote: Uraj45
His first post seems a little too enthusiastic, like scum trying to play as eager townie. He also seems a little too hands-off and unforthright, commenting rather than arguing. It just doesn't strike me as normal play.
but
FOS: Ameliaslay
because putting the next-to-last vote on somebody this early--and for almost no reason--is far, far too eager.- Tamuz

Turn Coat Townie, surprised one hasn't been heard of here.
Even unreluctant he could be turned mafia, I can see it flavourwise, or be dominated by mafia to act under them even without being part of them or he would die. Even if we do trust the name claim I'm saying it would be a very bad idea to trust his allegiance based on the flavourclaim.

Absolutely have heard the the role before, but never heard it by that name. They're more commonly referred to as traitors.
Traitors are pretty rare in mini games because of the volatility they bring to a small atmosphere. It is, however, a very real possibility based on the role.
