• 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?

Pokemon Choice Mafia (Mafia win!)

Mai

Banned
Here are the rules, repeated from the sign-up thread:


1. Out of thread communication is ALLOWED for everyone.

2. Night actions not sent in will be IGNORED, not randomized.

3. PROVING your role in any concrete way is not allowed, but you may paraphrase your PM text.

4. As a whole town, you may only abstain three times.

5. Flavor text will be mostly relevant.

6. If you do not do anything for two day phases, then you will die (that means not sending in a night action and also not posting the next day).

7. The same pokemon will not be used twice in any way, so keep that in mind when roleclaiming.

8. Do not always assume the stronger pokemon is the powered one! I'd say the best way to pick is decide which one you like better and don't think too hard.

Roles have been assigned and will be sent soon. After you get your two pokemon, reply to me which one you choose. Once everyone has decided and their final role has been chosen, night will begin.

EDIT: All beginning roles have been sent out. However, it will most likely take a while for me to reply to your choices due to difficulty in getting on an actual computer. The actual night will probably take a while to start.

DOUBLE EDIT: Okay that PM flavor text was all over the place you probably shouldn't try to make anything out of it. Especially those who got like none, officially. :/ Anyway, everyone who sent in their choice should have their results by now. Only one more person and then we can start night one!

Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Night one)

Dittotown was a very happy place. Not very original, sure, but they were content. Each and every resident in this town was a ditto, obviously, and they all had fun doing happy ditto things. But what made them really happy was the Copier Festival. At night, every resident transformed into something new and interesting (sometimes getting the details messed up if they were doing something complicated) and when the day broke, everyone had fun guessing who was who. However, it seems some more sinister residents have joined in the game this year...

Night one has started. You have 48 hours for night actions.
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Night one)

(I gave you warnings if you didn't send in your night action this time around, but next night you will not be reminded and will need to post.)

You wake up to a happy ditto day where you expect you'll do happy ditto things and guess what everyone turned into when they participated in the happy ditto Copier Festival. You certainly had fun transforming. No one could ever guess what you transformed into!

So you hop/slither/hobble/fly/whatever (you don't want to give any clues about who you are) over to the town square, where everyone gathers to do some happy ditto pokemon guessing.

However, it seems that the guessing won't be so joyful! Phantom, who seems to be living up to her name by being almost completely transparent and incorporeal even in death, is dead. You're almost sure it's Phantom, anyway. The Copier Festival isn't really the best time to die, as sometimes people just get confused at who's actually dead! Once everyone turns back, though, you figure it out.

Phantom's probable body is a dark purple, with burn marks barely visible and sunken in red eyes. However, the burns are minor; nowhere near the amount a pokemon can stand. She probably died in some other way.

Well, Phantom was old anyway, and nearly starving. Ever since she stopped eating trainers she was pretty much skin and... since she was a ghost type she didn't have any bones, actually. Proven by her being... whatever she was, just fading away and being dead (not being a ghost, just being dead).

However, despite the fact she threatened to eat you occasionally, she never really followed through on anybody. Because of that you do feel slightly more sad that she died, but she was still creepy.

But aside from that one (slightly unsurprising) death everyone is fine. Hopefully the Copier Festival will continue with no more surpises?

Phantom is dead. She was innocent.

48 hours for discussion!

Gastly's eyes aren't red. I think Mismagius, I'm pretty sure it's eyes are red and I know it's body is purple.
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

Since we're all supposed to be from either first or fifth generation, either Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, or some new ghost-type that I don't know. Maybe the mummy one.

Anyhow...crazy coincidence, Phantom being a ghost-type. Anyone got any ideas?
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

...Yeah, gotta be Gengar. Hypnosis? Stops the target from talking for one day phase?

Burn marks... An attempted arson kill blocked? Thinking way out there...
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

I know Haunter is the default for revenge kills (upon death, they get to kill someone else from the grave), but with only one death, this doesn't sound like that. Hmm...it's a long shot, but maybe the burns are from a healer overdose? That begs the question of what happened to the Mafia's kill, though, and doesn't actually make that much sense.
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

Why would burns (assuming they're caused by either Scald or a Fire-type attack) have any relation to healing? Plus, I'm not even sure we have a healer...
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

I think you guys are right, Gengar is the only Gen I or V Pokemon that fits the physical description given. I have no idea about what role it could be, though; it's also entirely possible that it was vanilla.

Obviously we shouldn't all say who's vanilla and who's not, but how was everyone's choice? Was it between 2 Pokemon of the same generation or one of each? (Mine was one of each.) And was the more impressive Pokemon the one with the power? (Mine wasn't.)

Not sure whether this line of thought will lead us anywhere that'll help us deduce anything, but at least it's something to talk about, which (A) will maybe help draw in the inactives and (B) will give the Mafia more of a chance to screw up a little.
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

Mine was a choice between the two different generations, and the more impressive one was most definitely not the one with the power.
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

Define impressive. Of the two generations I got, one was evolved and one wasn't.

And as for burns... maybe it was something like a delayed kill that was interrupted?
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

I had a choice of two things. I chose the less obvious one, because I thought Mai was trying to trick me. It turns out that in Chansey VS. Audino Chansey was the right one after all. So I forfeited my chance to be healer...
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

I got a choice for lover, one was Swoobat the other was Ditto.

I thought Ditto would make a lover...
 
Re: Pokemon Choice Mafia (Day one)

I have a choice between Beheeyem and Exeggutor. I choose Beheeyem and nothing happens when I look at Wargle from last night.

Which by the way I am NOT an inspector.
