Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Yeah, looks like it. Dar
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

ooh, sorry. Here I am!

I'm a distractor. I redirect people's actions to me if they do an action that night, and the person doing the action doesn't know. I can vouch for Dragon. Here's who I targeted:

N0: I targeted Wargle, nothing happened to me.

N1: I targeted Gevasia, it had no effect. There was a different message here so that's something, I guess. Maybe because she died? Idk.

N2: I targeted Dragon. I got a message saying something along the lines of I was protected from getting nightkilled that night.

N3: forgot to send in an action I think, hehe

N4: I targeted Dragon again, got the same message, so I'm p sure Dragon is the cause of that.

Last night: I targeted Alti, got healed.

Dar is looking pretty suspicioso right now, but I want to give him the chance to speak up before jumping to conclusions.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

No matter what happened, Grimsley remained silent and observant as an Absol watching fate unfold. And as Absol are ever held responsible for the disasters that they behold, so he became suspected.

But as Absol are mysterious in their powers and actions, so the Dark-type specialist's real motivation will be lost to history...

Dar, the Grimsley, is dead. They were neither innocent nor mafia.

72 hours for night actions.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

The remaining amongst the conspirators now move more carefully, leaving the totality of the survivors in fright of who could possibly be the traitor out of so few people left.

No one has died.

72 hours for night actions.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

I mean, 72 hours for discussion. I am dropping the ball so much.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Hey, it worked.

I neutralized Dragon last night, so the most logical conclusion is that she is mafia.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Well, VM's roleclaim as a neutraliser was definitely true, since I got a message saying that was successful. th ank s

I'll post my night actions tomorrow if you guys want, but it's like 1 am so maybe not now. Though I wanna know why exactly you neutralized me after Lilycolo vouched for me, VM..?

Since Wargle flipped innocent, Dazel and Lilycolo should be confirmed as innocent.

N3 I dreamt of Dazel, Lilycolo, and Superbird. Since the latter flipped mafia, the first two are innocent.
Thus, I narrowed it down to either Dragon, Butterfree, or Zero Moment. While they were all suspicious, I was more inclined to believe the other two, as Dragon essentially claimed the same role as Alti.

tbh Neutraliser definitely doesn't sound like a town role.
Neutraliser isn't the actual name, it's just the word I think best describes it. The move is Sleep Powder, and it makes the target lose all the powers from their role.

Zero Moment, would you mind elaborating on what your role means? Is "super referee" what caused the showdown between Kratos Aurion and Lilycolo?
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

I do "the thing", which never, ever has been given an actual role name afaik so I called it super referee because it fits flavorwise. In this game the move is called Noble Roar, which is apparently a thing now.
Basically, during the day, I choose two people to have a brawl. They get to make their case against each other, and everyone else votes for the winner.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Noble Roar is a move exclusive to Litleo and Pyroar, and yet you are Drake, who has never owned either of those Pokemon. Care to explain?
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

As I've said before, I started the game as the backup. DarkAura was the first death, and she was Malva, whose "signature" Pokemon is Pyroar.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

The role is known as "Gladiator", actually. I've mentioned it a few times by now but "the thing" just caught on a lot harder.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Welllll since no one else has anything to say, I'm going to vote for VM. Also, I've got some finger-pointing of my own; VM claimed he tried to neutralize Wargle yesterday, and no one died. And he definitely neutralized me last night and no one died as well; so he's probably mafia who can either kill or try to neutralize someone at night.

And I agree with Zero Moment that a town neutralizer sounds a bit... off. It could create a lot of problems, like: if you neutralize a mafia member, do they stay mafia but just lose their killing ability? What if they're the last mafia? I think it'd make more sense for him to be mafia, since then he's just targeting townspeople and we wouldn't end up with any Weird Situations.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

suddenly, everyone is struck by a large wind
a voice is floating on the wind
they identify it as the voice of the deceased Phoebe
she is saying "OH SNAP FINGERS BEIN POINTED"
then the wind ceases and all is well.

Well, there is still a chance of the mafia winning even after the last mafia member has been neutralized. My role PM stated that I could only use Sleep Powder on one person at a time, but the effects would wear off if either the target dies, or I die. So lynching me would give the mafia back their killing powers.

Zero Moment's claim seems indisputable, so given what we know, I am very confident that Dragon is the last remaining mafia member. We could always abstain and see if no one dies again, but that would prove nothing, as the mafia would probably not send in a kill action.

I am like 95% sure that lynching Dragon now will result in a town victory. If somehow it doesn't, then that means Butterfree is the last mafia, and I would just need to neutralize her to ensure no one dies.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Well, I'm not mafia, and given Dazel and Lilycolo were confirmed innocent by Wargle, Lilycolo in turn more or less confirmed Dragon as a healer which is a relatively unlikely role for a mafia member, and we know The Thing happened, I think the odds are against Vipera Magnifica here.

If VM does flip innocent, I suppose Dragon could be a mafia healer, but in a single-mafia-faction game the only purpose of a mafia healer is to cause healer clashes, and since as far as I recall there isn't actually any other healer in the game to our knowledge, I'm inclined to doubt that's the case.
 
Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread

Let's take a moment to entertain the notion that I actually am mafia. I try to get Dragon lynched, and she flips innocent, then what happens? I am immediately suspected and lynched the next day. Unless there are multiple mafia remaining, which is unlikely, the town outnumbers the mafia 5:1. If I was mafia, what would I stand to gain from outing myself at this point?

If VM does flip innocent, I suppose Dragon could be a mafia healer, but in a single-mafia-faction game the only purpose of a mafia healer is to cause healer clashes, and since as far as I recall there isn't actually any other healer in the game to our knowledge, I'm inclined to doubt that's the case.
This is exactly why I suspect her. Altissimo was confirmed to be a healer, and now Dragon claims to have a very similar role. Couple that with the fact that I removed Dragon's role powers last night and no one died, I have a very good reason to suspect her.

The only alternative I see is that Butterfree is the mafia and tried to kill a player that Dragon (who is in this scenario a non-mafia healer) tried to heal. But if my action had priority, that couldn't have happened. I'm not sure how MF would handle that situation.

If I am lynched, just know this - either Dragon or Butterfree is the mafia. Once I die, the effects of Sleep Powder will wear off, but the town should still be able to win at that point. So, it's not a huge deal. I'd still like someone who isn't one of the two people I suspect to weigh in on the situation though.
