Novelty Pokemon Mafia

[jdthebud]

This is fine with me.

[Unvote] Nero

[Vote] Salzorrah

 

[Desinishon]

@Fletch: I'll hold off my reveal =] You can take my previous post as sort of counter measure.. If NK visits me then you know phase post will tell you all.

If I get night killed then my fos on Nero.....I already stated in my previous posts about Nero..

JD provided his read in his previous post which looks good. c:

I think we might have caught a mafia as gunner but they might be rotom 'cause rotom hadn't said anything since like Day1,2?
Either way we are waiting for gunner's defense or end of phase.

 

[HyperMorian]

Goddamn Internet making me to retype my own post, sigh.

You all want a role reveal so bad? I'm Stunfisk (Bodyguard)

It's practically the only thing that we can use since most of our investigative roles are dead.

And based on the OP...

Stunfisk
Stunfisk will save everyone!!?!??!?!?1111

Although I still had fos toward Radiating, the role he claimed appears to have some logical sense based on the rather subtle OP role information. And since no one has yet to make a CC (Which is something I'm not sure whether people are just lazy, busy, or trying to lay low in the vicinity.), I'll let you go for now.

[Unvote] Radiating

There, I did it. Now you too have to provide us something, like the list of players who you've been guarding all this long. Moving on...
.

Man! Fletch you're gunning for me entire game....I'm town, I can even prove my role to you, let nightkrow visit me this night...next day phase post will tell you all. : )

The best thing to prove your role is to make sure you specify it the normal way and not trying to scare them away by being the Wobbuffet, duh. With the chances of giving items being random, lest forgetting the risk of getting both roleblocked and poisoned, it'd be a coherently obsolete path to take.

And here we are, I'm NOT sure where did you all get the logic of going for a bandwagon against someone who've been replacing someone due to their inactivity. The thing is, the remaining mafia roles are comparatively active at this point with their NAs and all, while the replaced player haven't even talked, nor taking votes into action, and is actually inactive for few days during the heated discussions that happened in prior days in the game. With that being said, are you sure you're picking the right target? Reconsider it, Pokémon, because you're more likely to lynch a potential vanilla player.

 

[Desinishon]

I don't need to claim for time being. Idk if you get it what i'm trying to do :p
Edit:

Reconsider it, Pokémon, because you're more likely to lynch a potential vanilla player.

Idk but you're soft caiming a role from day 1 but which onr it is?

Level 40 (Night)

The day proceeded quietly - maybe all of the Pokemon forgot how to speak to each other during the prolonged darkness? - until the very end, when tensions flared and knives were unsheathed and everyone decided they wanted another fish supper. Was this one as tasty as the first one? Who's to say...​

Salzorrah^2 was lynched. She was Feebas.​

Spoiler:

Salzorrah^2, you are now Feebas

You're a tough Pokémon who is perfectly fine even in dirty water. However, due to your ragged, shabby appearance, you aren't popular. As such, you have no night actions or abilities, and all you can currently do is Splash.

However, should you receive a Prism Scale, you will evolve into Milotic, and become a Dreamer. Upon evolution, each night, you will receive a dream concerning the innocence/guilt of your fellow players. If you are visited in the night, however, you won't receive a dream.

Your lynch vote currently does not count, but you still must vote anyway. However, should you evolve into your final stage, your lynch vote will count twice.

You are allied with the Novelty Pokemon, and will win when you have killed all of your enemies.

Good luck! Any questions, please let me know via Discord (or PM, if you really want to).

Night will end in 24 hours time, at 10:00pm BST on Wednesday 3 May. Please ensure that you get your night actions in to me before the deadline.

Level 45 (Day)

Things happened. Most Pokemon missed each other in the night, but the few that did come into contact did not end well for the novelty Pokemon.​

Alternative has died. He was Unown.​

Spoiler:

Alternative, you are Unown

Your flat, thin body is always stuck on walls. Your shape appears to have some meaning. As such, you have a Hidden Power.

To select your Hidden Power, please choose a number from 1 to 5, PM/Discord message me with that number, and I will assign you your power and instructions on how to use it.

You do not evolve, and your lynch vote counts once.

You are allied with the Novelty Pokemon, and will win when you have killed all of your enemies.

Good luck! Any questions, please let me know via Discord (or PM, if you really want to).

---

Your Hidden Power is that of a Doctor in this game.

Each night, you can choose to save one player from a death/poison action. To do so, PM/Discord message me with the action [Recover] Username, which will attempt to save that player from death.

Day will end in 48 hours time, at 10:00pm BST on Friday 5 May. Please ensure that you get your lynch votes in before the deadline.

[Radiating]

Ok, we messed up badly by killing Salzorrah.

and I've been inflicted with poison. :why:

 

[HyperMorian]

I was too late to inform you all that lynching a replaced player is a very dumb idea. Like, really, :wat:.

Oh well, dying as a fish twice in the same game is just LOL.

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

Sorry I was a big douche-douche and didn't participate yesterday, I had irl and rpt things that kept me from really putting time to this game. I'm just terrible, okay. But let's see if I can't figure something out from this mess.

*cracks knuckles*

Okay, so, I'm gonna presume Radiating is telling the truth about being poisoned and Stunfisk (unless it's some elaborate ruse, which: why would you and just incriminate yourself later when you don't die, but whatever) and eliminate him in addition to the innos/3rds that have been confirmed or otherwise un-cc'd: which would be myself (publicly confirmed Eevee by Naku), NK (un-cc'd Delibird), Spicy Birb (un-cc'd Jigglypuff), and jdthebud (through Rotom message.) And wouldn't you know, that leaves five people to deduce and two scum roles to assign! There's 2/5 chance of lynching scum when picking from this batch:

Johnny, Alex Kaz, HyperMorian, Uzumaki Naruto, and Nero.

And for reference, the remaining roles are:

Blastoise, Venusaur, Eevee, Wobbuffet, Shuckle.

With two confirmed mafia dead, why don't we pick apart their posts and see what we can derive? While strolling through Superjolt's posts, I found these interesting snippets:

Spoiler:

I haven't finished catching up completely, but I need to jump in right here because omg this post

First off, "oops, I forgot to add reasons for my vote!" ...really?

So the argument is that Gunner is scum somehow hiding behind "lazy" reasons for voting Bard and initiating the Bard-wagon? I don't think so. And Alex's reason is certainly not the most plausible thing here, in fact I think he should be explaining further. Actually, I think Alex's reasoning is kind of shitty. I think Gunner's reason to vote Bard was clear in #105, and having played in the other game she's referring to I can understand where she's coming from, even though her vote may have been misguided and partially clouded by the fact that Bard shot the cop.

I also don't see how you can say Gunner went unnoticed after taking her vote off Bard, when there's still people that voted her even after the fact. I can see her reasoning for voting you too in #130, and actually kind of agree. Your #122 is just a small bit about why a CC is good, then a bunch of filler/speculation on Wobuffet and then a vote for Gunner (which you then say in this post "oh yeah, forgot to add reasons!")

And then you try to ask Gunner to claim here, which sounds rolefishy as hell

EDIT: Also, "you could always be just trying to get away without anyone questioning you" is just so bad because anyone that thought this literally could have asked her directly about it at the time when she had actually voted

I'd like to make my next catch up post first but currently thinking you wouldn't be a bad vote here

You can share your suspicions, but that doesn't mean I'll agree with everything. I also don't trust Alex much here.

My alternative is Morian. I think he's full of bs. He also sounds like he's trying to paint Gunner as scummy by using Alex's reasoning as a shield or something.

[Vote] HyperMorian

I could also vote Nani, maybe Radiating too?

Give me a case on Gunner that is more than her being scummy for firing up the Bardwagon and I'll reconsider.

This feels like Superjolt trying to fish out a cultist!Jigglypuff (the popular theory of the time) in Morian or at least making an effort to incriminate an inno, because I see no reason why he would break form - as he basically said, he still needed to "catch up" on analyzing posts but felt he compelled to speak up then about how stupid he found Morian's post - to antagonize a teammate, unless it was some far-fetched long-game ruse, which I see unlikely; as Superjolt was obviously off his mark this game with his anemic and noncommittal posts, and that seems like a very intricate and high-risk (if not downright silly) plan.

To boot, I think Morian has been softclaiming a granny!Wobbuffet a lot, especially with his oddly specific dissection of its abilities and focus on it.

tl;dr: I see a Superjolt x Morian team unlikely, so I'm crossing off Morian as a suspect right now for the sake of continuing my investigation.

Oh, and perhaps Abby might've let something slip too?

Spoiler:

I don't know what you're asking here. Alex said Gunner jumped immediately onto Bard and tried to start a bandwagon and I agree that that might be the case. He was an easy target, any mafia scum would be tempted.

Superjolt, I understand playing the devil's advocate for the town's sake, but a lynch must happen, that's why people share their suspicions. Instead of trying to debunk every theory, why don't you offer an alternative too?

To be fair there was half the day left when the event was announced:/

I must agree with Johnny here actually,superjolt. You act very helpful, but a large portion of your post is just condensing a post and asking a question, providing little content of your own.

I'm afraid I'm even tempted to [#LYNCH]Superjolt

Superjolt asks Johnny a question, and both a scum!Johnny and scum!Abby hop on his business? I don't think so. Superjolt inciting Johnny to explain himself about something he agreed on with Alex seems needless for a mafia to do to another mafia (I'm pretty sure Jolt was just trying to uphold his facade of "townreading gunner") and Johnny's answer seems too civ - he's confused? why wouldn't he clarify the question in a scumchat? - to be a maneuver to clear his own name with the help of his teammates. To boot, this was obviously a move from Abby to avoid suspicion if Superjolt was killed by a lynch lead on Johnny's reasoning; I'm sure Superjolt in the mafia chat was like "I just can't keep up with this" or Abby gauged that instinctively and wanted townpoints as a scum-lynch leader should the situation have arose.

tl;dr: this moment alone makes an Abby x Superjolt x Johnny team a weird notion, so I'm discounting Johnny from my list as well. My best guess as to why he hasn't claimed is that he's Shuckle or Wobbuffet (if I'm wrong about Morian being this.)

NOW LET'S BUILD ON THESE PRESUMPTIONS AND TAKE A LOOK AT OUR LOVELY CONTESTANTS!

Here is Desi, he lives on the coast of this game. Lots of emoticons in his pointless dribble posts, and seldom an original thought to be found amongst all 13 of them. But he does have an interesting claim right here:

@Fletch: I'll hold off my reveal =] You can take my previous post as sort of counter measure.. If NK visits me then you know phase post will tell you all.

Stop being a basic bitch and just say you're Eevee and want an evolution stone. If you're trying to claim anyone but Eevee with this, especially Wobbuffet, that'd be dumb. Also, you know NK has been hindered since her reveal as Delibird by Blastoise, so I bet you feel snugly with this claim, since it can't be disproved as long as the big cannon turtle's around.

But if he's to be believed, that'd make a remaining scum team of Alex and Nero ... and is this correct? I can't really gauge Nero with his frankly anorexic posts, but Alex, in retrospect, hasn't done a whole bunch: he has a whole post (14 total) over Desi rn, and he has nasty habit of incriminating innocents and sound like he's buttering up people rather than simply collaborating:

Spoiler:

The worst looking part for Abby is the random vote on Superjolt AFTER the mafia knew their votes were affected. Same goes for Nightkrow.

Not a lot of pro/con dissection of Abby here as a player; sounds more like defending.

Nevertheless, I'll still place my vote on gp for now cuz he also doesn't seem to be contributing much, which isn't like him. Think of it like a pressure vote, but with slight reasoning behind it as well.

Edit I wanna see more of Johnny, his lack of participation is weird.

Yeah, no. This is wrong (inno!Alex) or instilling a sense that Johnny is coasting so he's incriminated (scum!Alex.)

I have to say I'm impressed. This is gonna come off as rude, but voting someone randomly to avoid Bard's ability is beyond stupid, you could just cover it up with Squirtle. That leads me to believe Nightkrow is Squirtle. That's gonna be my vote tomorrow if nothing changes.

I really like HyperMorian today, and I also like his reasoning for Radiant. I checked the timestamps and noticed that Johnny broke the ice with his post and vote (which looks really good for him) and Radiant followed him 30 minutes later without providing any insight at all once again, so my vote is gonna be on him for today.

Why do you build me up, buttercup baby. This sounds like he's laying on the charm to grab the innocent ballot.​

I have some hesitation for an Alex x Nero team due to this:

Nero has also provided zero content whole game, so he's next on my list.

But this could easily be a fake-out or bussing. Either way, I think Alex is scum. So, with all this speculation in mind, I'll [LYNCH] Alex Kaz. If anyone would like to claim their role to avoid getting lynched or confirm themselves as an inno, please do. This is late-game do-or-die motherfuckers, let's not pussyfoot around.

this has been your friendly neighborhood kiyo trying to keep everyone alive in-between margarita binge sessions, peace out girl scout

 

[HyperMorian]

Well, there we go. Looks like hiding my role is pointless at this point after the initial softclaim which they're aware of and the fact that we can still win this with 7 votes (8 votes if we count Jigglypuff in) against 6, and so the game will go on if one of them were lynched.

For the role that I have, I'm indeed the Wobbuffet, the one and the only who knows that he...or she's a granny. I'm still disappointed that literally no one come into my domain for a cup of tea, but that'd be better than having a dead town.

[VOTE] Alex Kaz

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

Johnny be like "I don't wanna reveal just in case I can still use my power" and Morian flat out is like "I'm wobbu, lol."

Idk where this misconception that the mafia have three votes each due to being final form came from, but it's incorrect: both Abby's and Superjolt's deathpost reveal that final form gives them 2 votes each.​

 

[jdthebud]

I'm down with this.

[Vote] Alex Kaz

 

[Nero]

[this is where I held down the a key but Johnny is too quick stix]

sorry, this game was a wreck for me. I am also a wreck and and going to be replaced. I'll [Vote] Alex Kaz as my last controlled thought before my brain is taken over or something.

The aaa was important because the broken box represents me right now, and the number of 'a's is actually a secret hint towards my role that only innocent roles will understand.

 

[Alex Kaz]

Whoa wait a second there.

You're translating every attempt of mine to scumhunt as trying to incriminate lol. Even when I asked Johnny to talk more, you saw this as me somehow incriminating him. I mean wat.
Your argument is essentially that I'm scum because i was wrong? Because I couldn't find mafia?
If Naku hasn't confirmed you, I'd actually think you're scum because of that reasoning.

Anyway, I'm shuckle and I've been laying low, as you noticed, in hopes of mafia thinking I have an important role and trying to kill me. But obviously that didn't really work out.

Mass claim needs to happen today. We need to see all the claims and go from there.

> you can't really ask people to talk more when you yourself haven't talked that much
> there's being wrong and being suspiciously consistent at either taking down innocents or buttering them up
> also fuck you with this "I'd think you were scum if you weren't confirmed" it sounds like "wow if only I had a leg to stand on I'd try to counterlynch you."

I don't buy it and I'd ask Shuckle not to counter claim. Alex knows he's done for and wants to make some damage before going down by revealing the BP.

Johnny, there are plenty of innocents to choose from for a night kill that are confirmed to be other roles and aren't Shuckle possibilities. My post basically assured that. Fucking claim, you pussy. Your insistence on having yourself and shuckle "not claim" is starting to sound off, and either indicates an inno!johnny clinging on to a false hope that his role will still have the possibility to come in handy, or a scum!johnny trying to prevent someone trying to poke holes in my posts because I made a mistake.

I will turn this lynch right around. I want fucking claims from everybody, especially you, no "softclaims" or "hints~" that cling onto the false hope that the mafia will get granny'd or shuckle'd.​

 

[Radiating]

Wow Kiyo you're really serious, but your logic does make sense.

[Vote] Alex Kaz

 

[Desinishon]

Yeah **** me I'm eevee

[Lynch]Alex Kaz

 

[NightKrow]

Roleblocked again, not poisoned though. Maf must want Radiating dead more than me.

Part of me has been questioning Alex's alignment ever since he went after me on whatever day it was (D2?), so I'm happy with an Alex vote. [Vote] Alex Kaz

 

[Alex Kaz]

So, I'm uncc'd so far, Johnny is being cryptic about his role and refuses to reveal when the mass claim is essentially an insta win for the town, yet I'm still the one being lynched. Alright boiz.
