Mini 62: Pokemafia!

[TBuG]

Go scum. I wish mole would explain game mechanics better.

[Stewie]

vote: pbug

do i really need to explain?

[Fletcher]

WOOHOO!! Unless he's joking which would be really stupid...

[mathcam]

*does the humpty dance*

IN YOUR FACE, MASIVE!!!! Okay, not really, just a little excited. Now if only we could find us a mod...

[mathcam]

Oh.

Unofficial end-of-day vote count:

PBuG (5): shadyforce, mathcam, mlaker, massive, Stewie
mlaker (2): discer, PBuG
massive (1): Maverick

No vote (2): Someone, Fletcher

This is accurate if massive's last one was, I think. Unfortunately, we need 6 to lynch. So Someone, Fletcher, discer, or really even PBuG needs to put on the finishing vote.

[massive]

Hey, come on, I'm trying to keep an open mind here ... I'm trying to look at all the facts and be impartial. Just because it appears I was harping on you for suspecting PBuG doesn't mean you were wrong, it just meant you didn't have a good argument for suspecting him.

My last count SHOULD have been accurate. It was only a couple of changes from the last official one. I wondered why PBuG said he had five votes, but since it was part of his "TR would have lynched me" argument, and I already was going to vote for him, I figured it must have been misdirection. *shrug*

[Someone]

6 to lynch!

Vote:Pbug

[shadyforce]

OK, in this twilight, may I just throw out the wild accusation that Someone (with a capital S) is scum. Any sensible scum would not want to lynch a fellow buddy but when it seems to be beyond doubt would undoubtedly finish him off to alleviate suspicion.

[massive]

In anticipation of a long twilight, does anyone want to discuss Pokemon trapping ideas? I've got a nice theme going that I'm going to hopefully stick to, provided mlaker doesn't try and Bulbasaur me. But I'd also be willing to try and trap a level 1 or 2 evolution Pokemon just to see if we can or can't (again, assuming mlaker doesn't Bulbasaur me).

[mathcam]

Ummm...how does training work? I can train the Pokemon I've already caught

or

I can go catch another? Or both?

Fair enough, but the vote at the end was made simply to speed up the game. I truly didn't think that Pbug was acting that scummy. Make of it what you like.

[massive]

Actually, in the rules, it states that you can't catch evolved Pokemon - just basic ones. So that means trying to find out if you CAN catch them is unnecessary.

As for training, we never did determine what we thought the mechanic would be. We came up with the theory that using them would advance them in levels, but maybe you do have to actively train them. I'm going to use one of mine tonight in the hopes that it might eventually evolve, but real-Pokemon-wise it needs a special event/item in order to evolve, so I'm doubting it'll happen. That's OK, it's cute!

If the choice is train or catch ... I'm going to catch under that premise.

I really want a Torchic. Can't we adjust the Pokemon range?

[Stewie]

i'm getting something cool :p as soon as death scence is posted. How do you know when a person logged in for the last time? I want to know abot mole...

[massive]

What are you going to go for, Stewie? In my opinion there's no cooler basic Pokemon than Jigglypuff. That's what you should go for.

In thinking about recruiting evolved Pokemon (and then looking for a basic Pokemon to catch tonight), I began wondering about the mechanics about catching Pokemon, too. Do you think it's harder to catch some of the more powerful basics, like Kangaskhan or Lickitung? Do you think it's dependent on which Pokemon you already have?

I honestly can't wait to see the game setup for this. It's been very cool.

[Fletcher]

This is Maverick's latest post.

Hey mole can we have a vote count? I think there is quite a few random votes....


*Maverick*

Should he be replaced?

[shadyforce]

Mole's last post was Monday, November 3rd.

[mlaker]

Well massive is certainly the most suspicious to me right now. Look forward to my voting you tomorrow. Also you can't catch a Torchic because it's not one of the original 149 pokemon. This is a really cool game and don't want it to be abandoned. Where's mole? Also wheres Maverick?

[mathcam]

I really want a Torchic. Can't we adjust the Pokemon range?

Right, mlaker. That's why he wanted to adjust the range.

I've emailed mole, but as of now, no response. Unfortunately, this is not the game where we can take a substitute mod, as probably only mole knows the various roles and even the game mechanics.

[TBuG]

If this game is abandoned, I'm willing to host a new game of Pokemafia that's a little different, my game is on the mod list first and if we all vote to, we could abandon this and I could host, but first we need permission from MeMe to abandon.

[MeMe]

Alright - mole seems to be AWOL. I've sent him a message, but if I don't hear from him within 48 hours I'm planning to officially declare this game abandoned.

[Stewie]

wow, my first abandoned game Hope he makes it.

[massive]

Me too. I can't abandon my Pokemon!

[shadyforce]

I don't want to leave either .

[MeMe]

Sorry, guys. As mentioned earlier, though, this looks to be a pretty complex set-up that only mole can run and he's not been around since Nov. 3.

[mathcam]

Mole is on his way back. He replied to email saying he was busy with exams, but is now essentially done. I think he'll probably be back today. In any case, let's hold off on abandoning it.
