Rocket's Investigation [Epilogue]
ocket's Investigation Introduction Hello, there! Glad to meet you! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Oak. People affectionately refer to me as the Pokémon Professor. This world… is inhabited far and wide by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for battling. As for myself… I study Pokémon as a profession. Recently we discovered the existence of a hidden passage from ancient scrolls. Our research show that the legends they spoke of are linked to those of the creation of the Sinnoh region overseas. Arceus, who is seen as nobody less than the god of Pokémon, is said to be able to open an entrance in the Ruins of Alph to a location that's neither Sinnoh nor Johto: the Sinjoh Ruins. We believe that if we have found the exact location of these Ruins. If we get there, we should be able to meet Arceus himself and travel back the hidden path backwards safely. I'm too old for such a journey or being a Pokémon trainer for that matter. Therefore we had to find a volunteering Pokémon ready from which we've assembled a team of top quality Pokémon from various trainers and sent them on their mission to Sinjoh. But even a genius can make mistakes, the Pokémon had various owners: aroma ladies, fishermen, ace trainers, you name it. Soon enough it appeared not all of them had research as their motive to help. Several Pokémon were able to continue their journey. At first this was seen as unfortunate accidents, ascribed to the weather or a food poisoning, but it's impossible it's all a coincidence. The mission is being sabotaged and there's only one organization that'd do such thing: Team Rocket! What is Mafia? Mafia is a game of murder and betrayal, where the uninformed majority (Pokémon aligned with the Explorers) tries to find the bad guys and eliminate them. The informed minority (the Rockets), work together and try to reach a majority among the players. The game has two phases, that continuously alter each other: a day and a night phase. During the day, which lasts 48 hours, all living players are able to speak freely and discuss their suspicions. You can also attack one player during the day, dealing him or her damage equal to your attack power. During the night phase, during 24 hours, the thread is considered to be closed and no posting is allowed. If you have a role with a night action, you can send it to me in a private message. This is also the time where the Rockets gather to discuss whom to attack that night. If at any point in the game a player's health drops to or below zero, that player is eliminated. If this is still confusing, check out The Darkest Dungeon Mafia, that used a similar hit point based system. Also, at any point during the game, you can shoot me a PM with your questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Rules

ocket's Investigation Night 0 Truly majestic, even with closed eyes one could see how almighty this Pokémon is and sense its power, pure and perfect. The Pokémon god descended and directed its attention to the old man wearing a lab coat. Without opening its mouth it spoke with a deep voice, which didn't show any sign that it could possibly not be our true ruler. "You, human, have done an excellent job. Not every peasant is able to assemble a crew that can survive the wilderness of the jungles, cold of the mountains and darkness of the caves that needed to be conquered to reach the Sinjoh Ruins. You deserve better than the boring life you lead. I shall grant you your deepest desire!" The Iron Plate and Zap Plate emerged from Arceus's body. When the plates squeezed together and shaped like a familiar device, the Mind Plate was floating above it, absorbing purple radiation coming from all directions. Although nobody has explained yet, the man knew what this was: data of all Pokémon in existence, from all over the world. Finally, and that on my age, I can't - "Professor?" - believe I'm still able to experience- "Professor Oak, please wake up! We've received a message from the team. Some people you hired work for nobody less... than Team Rocket!" Rules It's night. Please PM me your night actions, if you have any!

Wild Magcargo appeared! Okay, so this is when an optimistic me planned to change phases, but only half of the actions have been sent to me. Yes, I know, only 19 hours have passed and there was even less time for the Rockets to plot their attacks as I failed to have everybody as Skype contacts. Sadly I won't be having time to get a phase up later this night, so that leads me to extend this phase by 24 hours. My apologies for the delay. Great start of the game, huh? Hope y'all can use the extra bit of night to get some extra rest (and send in night actions if you haven't yet) and be fit for the next day. |
Night phase has ended, day post incoming.

ocket's Investigation Day 1 The Rocket Pokémon gathered on an open space hidden in the bushes, out of sight from the rest of the group. They felt great they brought a few new recruits along, even in that stupid old Oak's mind there would surely ring a bell if a big part of the company would consist of Zubat, Koffing and Ekans. They didn't take long to come to their decisions and soon spread again to execute their mischievous plans, without giving their targets a chance to prepare for trouble. Their new way of working seemed to pay off. During that night, several other Pokémon in the camp woke up shortly to do their favorite move and fell asleep with more knowledge or power than at the start of the night. Some Pokémon were still sleepy. Even Magcargo couldn't help them from forgetting to wake up and do what they planned to do. Well-rested, the Pokémon got out of their bed. Aside continuing their journey through the deep jungle forests, the day is when they try to eliminate the moles in the company and attack their comrades at own insight. The damage ??? -16 ??? -9 ??? -2 Rules It's day. You're all free to converse during this phase as well as attack one player of your choice. This phase will last 44 hours, slightly shorter than usual because of some sort of national holiday we have here this Saturday.

Some ***** just poisoned me
|
I got hit by Night Slash for 9 damage
|
I'm okay :D
...but probably not for long D: "they felt great they brought a few new recruits along" This makes me think some new players are in the maf. But Idk. |
It's just narrative flavor text
since the story is that Rocket got new recruits from Oak's recruits or some **** |
oh.
back to square 1. |

It'll probably gradually sap away his health.
Unless there are items or pokemon that can cure poison, he'll most likely die. |
Quote:
Which leads me to theorycraft -> we could have a zigzagoon with us and they may have a passive ability "pickup" to get items once in a while? /shrugs |
It could give us assualt-vests, potions, antidotes
That would be nice |
The poison just takes away two health at the end of every phase. So yeah, that -2 was me. I'm not worried about it.

I'm just poisoned. Got a pm and everything, so I know.
And I'm not worried about it because I do know how to cure it. |
Quote:
edit: Also a question I'm wondering about: Syndrome confirmed he got hit for 9 damage. What about the other person? Was it one source of 16, or composed of many separate attacks? o_O |
inb4 everyone targeted Klippy
|
Stupid question:
How does voting work in this game? Is it normal, or is it like DD? |
I think it's like tDD
|
I wasn't in tDD, can someone tell me what the voting was like in that one?
|
basically you vote once and deal however much attack you have in damage to the person you voted for
when their hp runs out, they die |
Ohh that's cool, thanks.
|
The 16 damage surely were two attacks....
Also don't expect me to post anything much today, I just got home half an hour ago and need to get up again in 5 hours and tommorow and Saturday will mostly be the same -.- |

What we can confirm for night damage done so far is: 1. 2 damage done on initial night, +2 damage at the end of each phase 2. 9 damage on n0 from one source So there are plenty of combinations of values/effects that hit that player, but it sounds like they don't want to share what happened - so we're left to guessing and theorizing for now I guess. :/ |
Should we all vote different people?
Excluding naku and syn ofc. Or two on one so people won't know our attack values?(except of course the other person) Or we could make 2-3 different bandwagons so attack values are harder to find out. |
Okay, im just gonna say this now, my attack is like my playstyle. Very random, no control, and idek how. Ill only vote if you guys want me to vote for someone, but if you guys wont, Im reserving my vote to random people because if I join the bw, there might be a chance that ill heal them instead.
Oh and there is also a VERY SLIM chance that I die by voting so yeah. |
Quote:
|
Actually not a Delibird, but there is one attack that I can do wherein I can pull a Judgement on you... Or a Splash... god plz no self destruct ;;
|
My attack looks like it's fairly linear.
If enough players attack the same person whom is believed to be scum, bandwagons should still be able to kill them. |
FYI
I don't have a high health stat... So plz don't attack me. I'm basically useless. |
Hopefully I can last a little longer in this game than I did in tDD...
Well I'll be back later to deal my negative damage :) |
So jd has claimed healer, Gunner has claimed Metronome shenanigans, and I claim "weak as a *****"
I see we have some nice info flowing already |
I'm certain the healer won't be targeted in the night
Nope not at all |
Well, I didn't take any damage but it's already apparent that we have a very wide range of abilities. For the time being though there's not much else I can say other than "I don't believe every person who claims weak is actually weak."
|
I claim Bidoof
|
guys im weak!!!! pls no attack
|
So someone used Confuse Ray on me - instead of attacking the person I choose, the damage is RNG'd.
It doesn't really matter who I vote so Attack Archy |
Quote:
|
I claim Armadillomon.
I dig holes with shoddy logic and then complain when everyone tries to lynch me. |
Quote:
|
Ehhh. I feel no sense of confidence attacking anyone right now. Might just have to RNG it myself. :/
|
anyone who wants me to attack someone? if none, im just gonna pick an inactive instead, not gonna trust the gunner gut :(
|
Quote:
Okay, have fun killing each other! |
[attack] Ullion
|
Someone should start a RNG bandwagon on an inactive player, it practically all we have at this point.
Quote:
|
I'm really confused right now. I hope that's not because I know nothing about Pokémon franchise.
I'll just say that claimed abilities like Confuse Ray seem very random to me for a game that's already random as hell with all these differing stats and entirely secret setup. |
Quote:
OMGUS |
We shouldn't be so hasty, we still have a lot of time left.
|
I think RNG is only option but what if weak ones are like zubat , Ekans they have less HP I think .
|
[attack] gimmepizza
|
Ok, that's too.... You're really not that bad a player, bardo and I've been as unsubtle as one can be without ....being outright obvious (giving a broad hint... <- suggestion from the dictionary)
[attack] Bardothren |
hmmm
[attack] JohnnyMustang |
[attack] johnny mustang
|
Quote:

Quote:
|
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Attack] JohnnyMustang I need sleep. |
Suspicious bandwagon on JohnnyMustang alert! Rozureido,jdthebud, Nimsy, and KetsuekiR.
[attack] KetsuekiR |
...I'll tell you a secret.
*whispers* my attack does 0 ---- Jd voted first I jumped on to try and figure out what his attack was. Then Rozureido edited his post and jumped on. And finally ketsu jumped on. Besides, he said his hp is 80. So if no one else jumps on, he'll be fine. |

People seem awfully protective of their attack stats ^_____\\^.

I
Think it's just people that want to attack Johnny tbqh. I'm tempted to join it myself kek. I only do one damage, though. |
more than me :D
