game 36 night 1

Posted May 26, 2015 by Feral Wolf

Welcome to the Kanto region, my fellow Mons'. I am the God pokemon, Arceus.

I have come to warn you, the Pokemon Rangers League, that Team Rocket, led by that devious Persian, is back at their old tricks. Their plot is to take out you Rangers one-by-one and conquer the League. Even worse is that one of my fellow lengedaries, and famed trouble maker, Darkrai, has joined up with them.

Persian, themselves, is the leader and get's final say on all decisions. They are also undetecable by Pikachu. In addition, due to the feline grace and deadly claws, they can risk taking out a second Pokemon at night with a 50/50 change of getting themselves revealed in the process. This power can only be used twice.

As stated before, the Rockets were easily able to talk that nefarious Darkrai into joining them. Darkrai, using his powers of the night, can induce nightmares on any one player. If the targeted player has a night power, that power's results will be reversed.

The last Rocket member is that eternally clumsy, but also unendingly loyal, Meowth. Meowth has no specail abilities and is the equivilent of a typical vanilla Mafioso.

But fair not, good rangers. You have not only a capable leader in Pikachu, but help from a few of my more trustworthy friends in the Legendaries.

Pikachu is the leader of the Rangers, and can veto any "knock-out"(lynch) in the game, as well as send inspirational messages to their team. As Pikachu doubles as a interregator, and can see the role of any one player each night, they are NOT allowed to use player names or role names in their messages.

Your first legendary ally is the time traveling Celebi. Celebi is known as a great healer and can protect one person each night. They can protect the same player consecutvly, but can NOT protect themselves. This power can only be used three times before Celebi becomes to weak to use it anymore.

The second Legendary ally you have is Mew. With their strong telepathy, Mew can peak into any room at night and see who comes or goes. Mew will not know the reason for any movemenst they see, and will not see the sneaky Rockets moving to or from their HQ at night, only seeing power role uses.

I think that about covers it.

Games rules:

OOG talk is OFF

Please let me or Cas know if I goofed anything up.

Day 1 has begun. 48 hours or 11 votes to end it.

That sounds like something a Team Rocket member would say. (cross)

Such a nice comeback game for me! (duke)

So, to make things clear (these theme games are fun but it's good to have a reference to keep track):

Persian is the Godfather who can also just kill two people (I thought it was part Assassin, but it looks like the kill is guaranteed?).

Darkrai is similar to a Hooker except that they reverse the results rather than countering the ability (cool role idea even for a normal game btw).

Pikachu is a combination Governor/Cop, but more powerful since they get to know the player's exact role.

Celebi is a three-use Doctor (I'm guessing that means three protection attempts, not three successful protections?).

Mew is a normal Watcher.

Looks like a pretty unique collection of roles.

Correct. There was no regular role to compare it to, unfortunatly.

Yes. Pikachu's results would be incorrect(it will ALWAYS incorrectly give an opposite team role though, never saying that the Silencer is the Hooker or the Cop is the Doctor) Celebi's protection would fail, and Mew would get no results.

Pikachu is a combination Governor/Cop, but more powerful since they get to know the player's exact role.

I goofed on giving this role it's powers, but I can't change it now, and no one has complained, nor is it a game breaking issue, so I'm not worried about it.

Celebi is a three-use Doctor (I'm guessing that means three protection attempts, not three successful protections?).

Unless targeted by Darkrai, all protection attempts are sucsessful. I added the bit about not being able to protect themselve to prevent the cliche of targeting themself every night.

Mew is a normal Watcher.

Looks like a pretty unique collection of roles.

Thanks.

Thank you white lancer and Feral for clarifying the roles. I was a little confused.

Just a fair warning: I'll be leaving for Momocon tomorrow and staying all four days so I may not say too much for the next few days.

But I'ma go ahead and do this to get it over with

Message from Pikachu- time stamped at 5:00 PM GT time, May 27:

Pi-Pika-Pi! Good evening, fellow Pokemon! As you are well aware, Team Rocket and their co-horts have invaded. Fear not...! Unless I find you guilty of assisting the enemy, you shall be saved! Effective immediately, the town has a curfew of 7:30 each night until 6:30 the following morning! Anybody who is caught out during those hours... Let's just say you'll be in for a shock! The only persons who are permitted out during these hours shall be those who are capable of investigations and healing! Safe travels, my friends!

Wait is that a legit thing?

What time zone are we talkin?
Does that mean we can't visit GT at all cuz they'll look at the recent visitors?
That makes no sense, I'm reporting Pikachu for assisting the enemy team.

GT time matches with EDT, FWIW.

This feels like it'll be a quick game, with the mafia able to get 4 kills in the first 2 nights. Odds aren't in our favor for waiting IMO (1 wrong lynch + 2 double night kills = game loss in N2), so I think we should make a kill.

Pikachu specifically asked me to post their message at 5:00 PM EST(GT/Gametalk time), but I wasn't available then, so I posted it when I got on and just wrote the time that it was intended to go up.

And you think a random kill is the best option, hez? I know we don't have much to go on Day 1. But as you pointed out, 1 wrong lynch could lose us the game.

Feral: could you please put a list of players, the roles and ratio in the top post from now on. Thank you. I miss it.

I'm still not really a fan of a random vote strategy because we're always more likely to hit Town than Mafia. At the very least it is more likely to pay off when we have fewer players left...I suppose we're more likely to hit with two random lynches rather than one, but then we're also reducing our numbers...eh. I just don't think the likelihood of hitting is high enough to risk a random vote.

I do think you're right that this has the potential to be a very quick game--I imagine a lot might hinge on the chance of the Persian getting revealed after their first kill. This also looks like a game where the Pikachu will want to roleclaim pretty early, given that we have a Doctor-type role...although I guess the Darkrai could screw with their results if they do.

May 28, 2015

2 random kills is better than 1. Either way we need 1 mafia death to continue the game, but lynching now gives us 2 chances (tomorrow's being 3 out of 8 probably) to find a baddie.

Night 1- (Will start a new thread for Day 2)

Seems to have been a very low down day today, some 'Mons not even showing up at the Arena today. It appears there was a slight push for a lynch, with the good Lady Flare as the random target, but she, herself, ended that with a last minute vote. So, all will live to see this night, but will all still be present come tomorrow? With that, all please return to your nests.

Eleven players but I only see ten roles...is there supposed to be a vanilla Mafia/Rocket as well?

May 29, 2015

No, I just an idiot. There are 5 Rangers(Vanilla Townies). Meowth is the only vanilla Mafia.
