Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Re: INAUGURAL POKEMAFIA - DAY 3
Well, the first two nights, I healed Espeon and then you (Butterfree) But the third night, I healed Vixie, so I'm not so sure how she died. Unless there's a third healer.

1st night, I had no idea who to heal, so I used an RNG to randomly pick one person to heal.

Re: INAUGURAL POKEMAFIA - DAY 3
Okay! So RespectTheBlade checks out (had been inspected to be innocent, but is pretty definitively doctor as he claims, especially since I am also a doctor and also healed Vixie last night - that's why she edited her final post with an instruction for other doctors to not heal her), and I have just been interrogating NWT on IRC where he first made a suspicious slip-up and then resigned when unable to answer a question.
In doing so, he also demonstrated knowledge that he would have if he were mafia, but not alien (it's complicated; I will explain after the game is over, since there is a lot of epic stuff that's been going on behind the scenes). So I think it's pretty clear we have our guy.
Lynch NWT.

Re: INAUGURAL POKEMAFIA - DAY 3
Fine; I will explain. Take all the grandeur from my planned epic summation of the game's events, won't you! >:/
Obviously anyone can fake an IRC log, but I will at least explain how this line of reasoning came about so that my reasoning for suspecting him won't be quite so much of a "then he said SOMETHING that confirmed because of SOMETHING that he could not be alien because of SOMETHING".
I am Jolteon, a healer. The role PM speaks of being a member of a clan of Wish-using Eeveelutions. In my alliance with Vixie, one of the key observations we made was that the identity of the Pokémon people were given could serve as a good way to identify those who were or were not lying. Intuitively, a mafia faking doctor would not think of an Eeveelution if asked what their Pokémon is; they'd come up with something like Chansey or Miltank or something else with a more intuitively obvious status as a healer.
Thus, one of our primary strategies has been talking to people, asking them for their Pokémon, and determining whether it checks out.
Why did NWT's Pokémon check out? Because we had had such a conversation with Dannichu, and she claimed Xatu. (Incidentally, she was Midnight's lover - NWT's suspicious claim was his knowledge that Midnight was a lover.) As it happened she was killed last night so we didn't have to reveal this, but we knew that she was likely to have told her mafia partner what we'd confronted her with, that it was highly likely that all the real healers were Eeveelutions. Thus, NWT knowing to claim Vaporeon confirmed him as either a real doctor or the missing mafia member - an alien would have no way of knowing to claim an Eeveelution and, like Dannichu, would have fallen into the trap of claiming some other, more healer-ish Pokémon if claiming doctor.
But, since we had told Dannichu about the Eeveelution thing, naturally this was no longer something by which we could conclusively identify doctors. Thus, as moon-panther can confirm, as an extra test to discern between mafia and real doctors, I also asked for the role PM, which was quite distinctive in mentioning the Wish-using Eevee bloodline and whatnot. As we had never disclosed this to Dannichu, the final mafia member would not know this.
Hence, I could conclude pretty definitively that NWT is indeed our missing Rocket member.
I could have made all this stuff up - but then NWT would hardly show up in the thread without even denying all this random bull, would he?

Re: INAUGURAL POKEMAFIA - DAY 3
...alright then, let's kill him off. We have the majority here, do we not?
But even if we do that, we still have one more Mafia member.
Also, Butterfree, I want this to be made perfectly clear: you know way too much and are practically covered in a day-glo raincoat covered with steak sauce. We have two quote-on-quote "healers"; I'd like one of the two to heal Butterfree and the other to heal someone else. Moony and Blade, work it out amongst yourselves; the last thing we need to do is have you killed off and lose our best member.
...by the way, NWT, any last words before you die?

Re: INAUGURAL POKEMAFIA - DAY 3
I'm... not entirely sure what you're trying to say here. Did you just miss all the times I've repeated "there is only one mafia member left" and "the final mafia member" in my past several posts, or are you privy to some amazing insider information that I'm not?
