also for reference, my main action is the name of an actual move, and my badge action is named something that i initially mistook for a real move name

 

[Bluwiikoon]

It does seem strange if most people have a free action and a badge-powered action, but if Tofu's second ability is activated on death then I feel like it makes sense for that one to be a freebie too

 

[Hydreigon25]

I'd much rather prefer to Abstain than to Mis-Yeet someone that could be town

 

[Mawile]

personally i think the bit that's weird is how the badge distribution has the flavor of bring given out by the pokemon

that’s news to me.

mine is just written as like "you distribute ghost badges after you die. here's how you can distribute them:" and then lists the possible combinations

but badge distribution is something we all can do, and it's not even considered an action
if it were i'd have 3 actions

oh, that’s what’s ours looks like too. i’m not sure i’m seeing the connection to them being given out by pokémon there...?

[Zori]

In which case, I misunderstood the argument
I'm going to put a light FoS on herbe for their comment on the state of their badge actions and then doing nothing else in thread

 

[Bluwiikoon]

Tofu, are you sure you're not misreading your PM or something and that your power doesn't give you like, additional extra badges or something?

 

[RNP]

why are you italicizing and underlining random words

oh i was commenting on tofu's claim:

dk it just said "colorful scatter" was the move and I give away my badges through it. It made sense to me when I read it because it was like, I dead but my Pokemon isn't, so it helped me out? Maybe it's just to balance the power of my other role by making my Pokemon's role not really do anything, idk M&F's mind.

 

[bruh moment]

oh! completely missed that, thanks. hm, that is odd.

that's what i'm trying to say, badge distribution isn't even an ability, it's just something that happens on death

it happens even if you don't send in a target. mine gets randomized if i don't have a target

 

[Bluwiikoon]

Oh, wait!

Are you saying you can redistribute extra badges that you've received from other people?

 

[Zori]

Can confirm that my badge-distribution feature does not have a role name
but I wouldn't say that M&F would not just do that to make sure every gym leader has a pokemon ability

 

[RNP]

hey don't give them a plausible claim! let them come up with it on their own

 

[Zori]

And it'd be weird as hell if M&F only gave Mafia a pokemon move in their badge distribution feature

 

[RNP]

look

if i know mf and i'm like 70% sure i do, consistent bastardry is what they specialize in.

 

[Vipera Magnifica]

This is a strange situation, because if the badge-distributing part of Tofu's role is different from everyone else's, why would MF decide to change it?

If she was mafia there's really no reason to lie about it, and if she's alien it's to subtle to get us to immediately start a wagon on her

 

[Vipera Magnifica]

*too subtle to get us to immediately start a wagon on her

 

[RNP]

or tofu saw your play in ooctvtmqm and immediately knew with how fast and vehemently i jumped on it that i would do so again because i like to do that
