Rules for the 2003 PokÃ©mon League

Each contestant is limited to 1 (one) pokÃ©mon at the commencement of the League. However, all contestants are encouraged to catch and train wild pokÃ©mon from the forests surrounding the mafiascum.net PokÃ©mon Staduim. League Director
mole
will direct you to areas where you can find a specific pokÃ©mon. Sadly we are unable to provide any evolved pokÃ©mon - contestants must train them from their unevolved forms.
Only pokÃ©mon numbered 1 - 149 (Bulbasaur to Dragonite) are permitted in this year's League.
Members of Team Rocket are not allowed to participate in the League. Each day the contestants may nominate one of their number to be investigated by Leage Director
mole
. However this will entail their disqualification from the League.
All correspondance from League Director
mole
to contestants is
private
and anyone caught quoting this correspondance in whole or in part will also be disqualified.

It's time for the opening ceremony! While League Director

mole

does all the dull bureaucratic stuff like register your arrival and make note of which pokÃ©mon you've brought, you're invited to take part in the 2003 PokÃ©mon League Opening Ceremony!

Until I get mod access and put these into the rules above:

- Each night you can select

one

of your pokemon and use its ability. Some pokÃ©mon do not need to be used for you to gain their powers. You can also choose not to use any of your pokÃ©mon if you wish.

- Please feel free to ask any questions about the game or your pokÃ©mon.

mole · Post Post #5 (isolation #4) » Mon Oct 06, 2003 3:42 am

That's what I need mod powers for. :)

mole · Post Post #14 (isolation #5) » Tue Oct 07, 2003 3:11 am

Thanks for that, mathcam :)

Confirming here isn't necessary since everyone has to send me a choice for their second pokÃ©mon. Feel free to let everyone know you're here though, and/or ask questions about the game mechanics.

Each night (including this one) you have to send me:

a) The pokÃ©mon (if any) you will be using that night, and who (if anyone) you will be targetting with it,
b) The next pokÃ©mon you will attempt to catch. If you are successful I will tell you the abilities of your newest pokÃ©mon when I start the day,
c) Who you're gonna off, if you're a Rocket.

mole · Post Post #21 (isolation #6) » Sun Oct 12, 2003 1:23 am

Stewie's correct. You can, and are encouraged to, play in both this game and Kerplunk's Mini 63. :)

mole · Post Post #32 (isolation #7) » Tue Oct 14, 2003 4:33 pm

Yeah, still waiting on choices. :(

mole · Post Post #34 (isolation #8) » Thu Oct 16, 2003 2:11 pm

Right.

vIQles and Boo, I need your choices!

mole · Post Post #42 (isolation #9) » Mon Oct 20, 2003 1:34 am

discer

will replace vIQles, who leaves the competition to attend another game.

Boo

has turned up to play.

Sending PM to discer. I have all the other choices, so I'll just ask him to confirm and choose a pokÃ©mon and we'll be done.

mole · Post Post #46 (isolation #10) » Tue Oct 21, 2003 11:15 pm

Boo

and

Electra

have both left the competition due to serious injury. We suspect Team Rocket activity and welcome any input from the players about what they and their pokÃ©mon saw last night. In fact, it'd be

really

great if you, say, discussed things amongst yourselves until you came up with a name...

Boo - Pokemon Trainer - left due to injury

Electra - Pokemon Trainer - left due to injury

mole · Post Post #47 (isolation #11) » Wed Oct 22, 2003 2:06 am

Boo's PokÃ©mon:
Meowth - Meowth likes Team Rocket members. If you send Meowth out to investigate a player, it will not return if the target was a Rocket. If the target isn't a Rocket it might take some time for Meowth to return to you, though.

Electra's PokÃ©mon:
Squirtle - You can target yourself with Squirtle and get a one-shot protect for that night.

Okay, I'm back. Sorry about the absence, I had exams on the past two weeks...

Will it help my position at all if I told you you lynched a Rocket?

Congratulations!

mole · Post Post #184 (isolation #14) » Sat Nov 22, 2003 4:25 am

Anyway, while you all flame me/send choices:

I for one, would love to see Neopets Mafia, glad you liked the idea enough to keep it alive if this game died.

mole · Post Post #185 (isolation #15) » Sat Nov 22, 2003 4:27 am

PBuG

was a Team Rocket member, who could injure someone each night and force them to pull out of the League.

His pokÃ©mon:

Grimer

If you choose to target someone with Grimer one night, the following day they will require one less vote to be lynched.

Bulbasaur

If you choose to use Bulbasaur, it will prevent its target from capturing any pokÃ©mon that night. You cannot target the same player with Bulbasaur on two consecutive nights.

mole · Post Post #188 (isolation #16) » Mon Dec 01, 2003 6:45 am

Each night you can do all of the following:

a)

recruit a new pokemon

b)

train an existing pokÃ©mon by using it's ability. Some pokÃ©mon need to have targets specified, some target you, and some are always using their ability so you can pick a different one and still ahev the benefits of the first.

c)

kill someone (if you're a Rocket)

mole · Post Post #190 (isolation #17) » Fri Dec 05, 2003 6:38 am

Well, I was all ready to send the choices, but it turns out someone was asking about a pokÃ©mon's number rather than trying to catch it. :(

24 hours, or when I get a response, whichever comes first.

mole · Post Post #191 (isolation #18) » Sat Dec 06, 2003 6:26 am

Three people have left the contest.

Maverick

's Abra tried to teleport him away, but the Rockets were too quick for him.

mlaker

lies unconscious in a different part of the forest. He has also been taken to hospital.

A while later,

discer

jumped out the window of his hotel room and ran from the area screaming. Something must have scared him pretty bad...

mole · Post Post #196 (isolation #19) » Sun Dec 07, 2003 5:16 am

New pokÃ©mon identified:

Maverick carried

Magnemite

On one night during the game you may boradcast a message of no more than 6 letters to all other players who have Magnemites. PM me with the message on the night you wish to use this power.

and

Abra

Abra will automatically (you do not have to select it as your pokÃ©mon for its ability to work each night) protect you from danger if anyone tries to kill you. This ability can only be used once, on the first time you are attacked.

mlaker had

Bulbasaur

and

Drowzee

Drowzee can put someone to sleep, in which case they are unable to perform any actions that night, or kill someone if they are asleep that night.

discer had

Porygon

You can send Porygon out to investigate the computer network pokÃ©mon are stored on. It will return with the names of all the pokÃ©mon the player you target owns.

and

Nidoran (male)

If you are voting for someone, and a player who owns a Nidoran (female) is also voting for that player, this is counted as three votes instead of 2.

Someone has been eliminated from the competition. He was, though, just an innocent pokÃ©mon trainer. :(

mole · Post Post #340 (isolation #22) » Fri Jan 02, 2004 12:09 am

Happy new year, everyone!

It seems one of the players has taken the celebrations a bit too far, though, and somehow set the PokÃ©mon Forest on fire.

All the competitors have been evacuated from their hotel rooms and are now gathered in the main stadium area - so it's time for a vote!

Nobody got to do anything last night. It's now day!

mole · Post Post #416 (isolation #23) » Thu Jan 15, 2004 5:57 am

The town searches the stadium for League Director mole, eventually finding him and taking him back to where shadyforce awaits his elimination...

Or rather, awaited. He's nowhere to be seen. Looks like his Abra was able to help him after all.

mole · Post Post #431 (isolation #24) » Thu Jan 22, 2004 4:33 am

I guess that might work.

Three choices in so far... Let's see the others.

mole · Post Post #432 (isolation #25) » Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:24 am

It is time to bid farewell to

massive

, who was injured during the night.

His pokÃ©mon:

Moltres

Moltres will block all night actions the night it is used - kills, investigations, everything. There is only one Moltres available in this game.

Vulpix

Vulpix has a loud roar that scares away other pokÃ©mon. If you choose to use Vulpix on a night, any player who targets you with a pokÃ©mon will fail whatever they were doing.

Growlithe

You can use Growlithe to guard against the other players' pokÃ©mon. It will report back to you with the names and owners of the pokÃ©mon that attacked you.

mole · Post Post #469 (isolation #26) » Mon Feb 02, 2004 9:07 pm

One no lynch vote so far.

mole · Post Post #475 (isolation #27) » Thu Feb 05, 2004 3:47 am

shadyforce teleports back into the game to find that the other three players are going home.

"Welcome back!", says mathcam as he turns to leave, immediately after which he is struck twice from behind and collapses. He calls out for help, but everyone has already left for the forest, and perhaps some new pokÃ©mon.

mole · Post Post #476 (isolation #28) » Thu Feb 05, 2004 3:54 am

Bulbasaur

Nidoran (female)

If you vote for someone, and a player who holds a Nidoran (male) also votes for that player, this count as 3 votes instead of 2.

Chansey

Chansey acts as a regular doctor.

Diglett

Diglett can, on any one night, protect a player of your choice.

mole · Post Post #483 (isolation #29) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 3:46 am

shadyforce once again releases his Abra in attempt to escape the other two players, but this time it has no effect. He is eliminated from the game.

So ends the career of the most successful pokÃ©mon trainer ever. He may have cheated right from the start, he may have been personally responible for half the injuries in the game, but there was no denying his greatness.

More importantly, Fletcher points out soon afterwards, he was the only person able to stop the might of Team Rocket. He throws a pokÃ©ball at Stewie, who summons his own Abra and flees, and calmly walks towards the stadium to claim his trophy.

Congratulations to Team Rocket!

mole · Post Post #484 (isolation #30) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 3:53 am

shadyforce

, and nobody's gonna stop you from winning. Least of all the other players, or the rules of engagement...

The first one you've broken is the one restricting you to a single pokÃ©mon at the start of the game. You've picked three of your best unevolved pokÃ©mon and brought them here to train them up. PM me with your choices, or if you'd like me to provide you with a list to help.

Then there's the rule against not hospitalising the other players. What kind of a rule is that, anyway? Each night you will challenge someone to a battle, which you will win, and after which they will be in no condition to continue in the League. Not that you care, of course. I mean, if they really wanted to win the PokÃ©mon League, they would have... I dunno, worn a helmet or something.

Abra

Abra will automatically teleport you away from the first sign of danger. The first time you are killed or lynched you will instead be removed from the game for one full game day.

Articuno

Articuno has the one-shot ability to freeze a player, rendering them unable to post or vote, but also unable to be killed or lynched (in effect, removing them from the game). You may choose to unfreeze this player at any time by PMing me.

Gastly

Gastly grants you a one-shot kill, provided nobody else targets the player you are killing.

Scyther

Scyther automatically bypasses one protection on anyone you choose to kill (whether with a pokÃ©mon or via your own powers). If one person protects your target, they will still die, but if two or more protect your target they will live.

mole · Post Post #485 (isolation #31) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 3:58 am

Kangaskhan

Kangaskhan will protect you the first time you are attacked at night.

Abra

Abra will automatically teleport you away from the first sign of danger. The first time you are killed or lynched you will instead be removed from the game for one full game day.

Chansey

Chansey acts as a regular doctor.

Psyduck

Psyduck gives you a one-shot investigation.

Drowzee

You can choose from two attacks if you target someone with Drowzee:
a) Put a player to sleep. They will not do anything the night you put them to sleep.
b) Kill a player. This will only work if the target is also put to sleep that night.

mole · Post Post #486 (isolation #32) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 4:01 am

Fletcher was the Team Rocket Leader:

Psyduck

Psyduck gives you a one-shot investigation.

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff can put someone to sleep, meaning they cannot take any actions that night.

Kabuto

Kabuto gives you the one-shot ability to negate all protections on someone, so they can be killed by one player attacking them.

Growlithe

Growlithe can identify the other players' pokÃ©mon. If you use his ability one night, you will receive a lit of all the pokÃ©mon that targetted you that night, and their owners.

mole · Post Post #487 (isolation #33) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 4:02 am

Fletcher spent the rest of the game trying to reclaim his partner's

Grimer

, to give him an advantage in the voting. Unfortunately for him, mathcam kept blocking his captures.

mole · Post Post #490 (isolation #34) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 4:34 am

shadyforce was the SK. I thought he was going to win, actually, (he had much better pokÃ©mon than Fletcher) so I was really surprised to see him lynched instead.

mole · Post Post #492 (isolation #35) » Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:12 am

Chansey wasn't totally useless, though I guess he was practically useless by the endgame. Scyther was added to the list to balance the effects of everyone picking a doctor-type power early in the game, but by the end when there were only one or two players doing the protection he became far too powerful.
