If you'd like some proof then just attack me today. One person no one else.

I'll take you up on that Rozu!~ It should prove you at least somewhat innocent if you take no damage. If I'm recalling correctly, I deal 4 damage, and there is double damage in play today, so look for 8 damage

When you have an aggressive partner like Klippy who was on the verge to get attacked, then you would do the same lol.

Evening, ladies and gentlemen. Seems I've been voted for.

Fos on thecapsfan, the only pokemon that can suicide/self destruct

(I added the rest of the quote from the text, just cause.)

I'm at a pretty high HP right now. Why would I consider killing myself when I already told Johnny last phase I'd only consider using the Explosion if I had low health? Plus, sacrificing myself? That's not how I play Mafia. That's one of the things that's consistent across alignments in my meta; I don't give up. If there's even a slim chance that I'll win I'll try my best. And here's another thing; I hate dying...unless my death will in some way benefit the rest of my alignment.

If I were the last Rocket, using Explosion right now would eliminate both of those things. I'd lose and die. My death wouldn't benefit anyone, since the rest of my faction would be dead. It would be utterly pointless. The only reason I could see myself doing it was if I was sick of playing this game. Which I'm not, because I've specifically said that this is the best Mafia game I've ever played in.

Moving on. We have at least three liars in our list of claims. One is Azelf. One is a Rocket. And one is an Aqua. This I am about 90% sure of.

Lastly, I'm not the only Pokemon that can suicide/self destruct. Ponder that.

Your own preferences and motivations don't matter in relation to flavor text.

gimmepie January 8th, 2016 6:47 PM

I'll do a fair bit of damage with my attack today, I'm thinking txt or Caps should cop it. Thoughts?

I guess this is a culture thing, hm? Where I come from it's the opposite.

Naku you have played scum with me twice. Out of all the people left in the game, you should know this to be true the most.

Also Gimme, isn't your move Counter?

I've said it like three or four times now, I have two attacks. One is Counter and is based upon day damage and the other is Mirror Coat and works based on damage I take at night.

Nakuzami January 8th, 2016 6:58 PM

Jesus, I refresh the page after ten minutes and have seven notifications.

And no, Caps, it doesn't matter what your motivations are in relation to a character that Lycanthropy is writing. Sometimes GMs may take that into account, but most often they will not use such information in the narrative.

You further prove my point. It is a culture thing. The players on this forum rely too much on the flavor text for information. Because of this, other very important parts to the strategy of mafia are lost, such as reading the other players. Just because Lycan mentions in the flavor text that the last rocket and a selfdestruct ability might be connected does not mean that I, a person who has claimed such an action, is automatically mafia. Especially when I'm not the only person in the game who has a selfdestruct ability.

Desinishon January 8th, 2016 7:47 PM

Can anyone heal me plz , I've no HP left. I don't find syndrome that suspicious , he is helping the explorer , that's all.

Funny, Wiicked said the same essential thing when he was accused of having/using the rocket's move of Block. And how did that turn out? ;o

EDIT: Oh, wait, you're missing the entire point of that sentence! It seems that it was overlooked on Wiicked's lynch as well.

I'm going to sleep. A fair warning to the thread: I have a very busy day tomorrow. Thus there will only be two or three times during the day where I will be able to check in and respond to the thread.

Unless you're trying to say that PC culture is a thing, then I don't see what you're saying there. The reason we look at the flavor text is because that's how GMs provide hints in games here. And whether or not that's how you typically play is completely irrelevant, because that means that you're basing your defense on something totally different than the accusations are being based off of, which simply does not work. People are accusing you because of the flavor text, and you saying that looking for hints in the narrative isn't how you play does absolutely nothing to counter the idea or help your case.

And the other aspects of mafia most certainly are not lost. Well, they are if you're a bad player, so yeah, I've seen a lot of people neglect certain strategies around here, but a good player should examine it from all angles, using all available resources.

Go back and read my role reveal post. I dislike repeating myself and at this point, forgetting is not a valid excuse.

Klippy January 8th, 2016 10:15 PM

If desinishon has low health... I'd feel kinda bad KOing him. :P But at this point, we have three liars.

If you're Azelf, claim immediately. Two others are lying besides Azelf, but Azelf is as guilty of being a bad role for hiding this long for absolutely no reason.

anyways, who do i target this phase?

Klippy January 9th, 2016 12:13 AM

I think we ought to take out txteclipse and desinishon. They're relatively unproven and suspicious, desi is low on HP, and I can't imagine txteclipse will survive through a barrage of attacks. Sorry to put it bluntly. I think if neither of them end up being Rockets or Aquas, then we've seriously got a problem in the coming phase or so.

[ATTACK] txteclipse

O...kay? Not sure how attacking only known non-explorers (except Arsonist), claiming, and then having that claim backed up by a reputable source makes me suspicious.

EDIT: Since I might be asleep for the phase change, I guess I'll just have to pick someone now and go for it. Arsonist attacked me twice and desinishon once back when desinishon was Dialga. Since desinishon's playing that character now...sorry man, but [Attack] desinishon.

Mana January 9th, 2016 3:00 AM

Three people are lying, Klippy? How did you come to that? And why did The Caps Fan not come up on your list when Txt's ability is at least confirmed (by Gunner) if not his alignment?...

Lycanthropy January 9th, 2016 3:13 AM

ocket's Investigation

desinishon(2) fainted. He was a Rocket.

Winter January 9th, 2016 3:22 AM

....so there's still people that aren't town-aligned?

Klippy January 9th, 2016 3:53 AM

The Aqua Member is lying about who they are. The person playing as Azelf is lying about the Pokemon they are. And the last Rocket, who just perished, was lying. Three.
