Mini 1681: Pokémon Mafia (Abandoned)

[Kari]

I ANSWERED THAT

[ProHawk]

Would also like to hear why McMenno targeted me.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Normally, people's first vote in a game is RVS.

This is why Kari's stating of her vote being random irked me.

[Kari]

stating it means literally nothing, tho.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Doesn't it?

I mean, your town read is the main reason I scum read you, so, whatever I guess.

[Kari]

i still think you're town but now its moreso your communication and thought process than anything. yes, even the tunnel part.

and yeah....where the fuck is everyone

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Explaining your reasoning now does nothing to change my opinion of your early town read.

There are bad ways to win and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all...

[Kari]

also

untarget

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Scum have already been caught.

It's only a matter of time.

[ProHawk]

Rando, can you explain why you were burned?

[A Simple Plan]

Hey again lucky :3
I have just realized I made a mistake with my targeting
VOTE: randomidget

^ Making note of that for later!

VOTE: Domino

Good to see you again, Lucky. It's been far too long. Also, why a Pokemon avatar? That's Mareep, right?

ASP, what do you make of Kari's town read of me?

I don't like her clearing you right now. I do like your activity so far, and it makes me believe you're actually trying to progress the game. However, you have done nothing to actually make yourself appear town, especially not enough so for a town read like Kari is giving you.

No.

I want her to be targeted because a) she made a point of her target being random and b) she town read me for no reason and couldn't give a reason when prodded.

Have you read the thread?

Point A means literally nothing.
Point B is not a strong enough case for me to generate a target on her right now. But I have noted it and if I see nothing else, it might warrant a target by day's end.

So why would someone buy it?

Doing a little research, there are several reasons why this would be reasonable.

1) Either it is a typo, or it shows RM to be part fire type Based off the fact that it only did 10% health damage and not 12.5%.
Note: There is a Dark-And-Fire Type evolutionary chain, the Houndour/Houndoom line. It does not possess any of the abilities listed in point 3 below.

@mod: can you confirm 10% damage is correct?

2) The move

Trick

switches the user and target's held items. It would be a play to burn someone else. However, the self-target noted above seemingly eliminates this possibility.
Note: The concept of Trick being possible implies that RM is likely

not

a Dark-Type because the only Dark-Type capable of learning the move without a move tutor is the Pokemon Hoopa, which is only Dark in its Unbound form and would require a different item to achieve such. The item needed hasn't been released yet in the games, either, which makes me believe Hoopa is not a likely situation.

3) there are an abundance of abilities that would benefit from being burned:
A) Flare Boost raises the Special Attack stat by 50% with a burn.*^
B) Guts raises the Attack stat 50% when afflicted with a status condition. This also, cancels the effect of losing attack when burned as well.*^
C) Marvel Scale raises the Defense stat 50% when afflicted with a status condition.*
D) Quick Feet raises the Speed stat 50% when afflicted with a status condition.+

Notes about Point 3 Above:
> *Flare Boost, Guts, and Marvel Scale are not abilities of any Dark-Type Pokemon.
> ^Flare Boost and Guts would not make much sense at the current time because of the self-target.
> +Quick Feet is the Second Ability of Poochyena and Mightyena, which are Dark-Types.

Does this shed a little light on the possible strategy of RM, Pro?

[ProHawk]

Yeah, going to mull it over for a bit, would like to hear from rando about it.

[Nyankotachi]

Okay, I was under the impression that Kari was a new player who didn't understand RVS or something, hence the weird comment and sudden jump off BBT. Since you're an alt, that's apparently not the case. Calling BBT's initial target an omgus despite him having a reason for it etc. Keeing an eye on this one

BBT's tunnelling is pretty typical of him, meh so far, nothing really catching my attention, continue as you will.

Prohawk seems fine so far. You're questioning McMenno's vote on you, do you see it as not random?

[Boonskiies]

Oops, sorry 'bout that. Out of town until Sunday; game hadn't started yet when I V/LA'd. I'll be phone posting when I can soon.

[ProHawk]

Do you see it as random M?

[Nyankotachi]

My head of the hydra is on v/la till the 8th for uni.

[Arceus]

Randomidget's HP is correct, lets say you have 20 HP and you loose 12,5% because your burned; you then loose 2.5 HP. You can't loose half a life so it's rounded up (2.5>3, 2.4>2) to 3 meaning that player lost 15% of their HP.

[McMenno]

I guess I could

VOTE: Kari

[Nyankotachi]

Yes, I thought it looked random, hence why I was wondering why you thought to question it.

[Burn Your House Down]

yeah but in a few days, scum will actually do something dumb and get swarmed worse than you think

also

untarget

why untarget

[Burn Your House Down]

sorry sidetrack, got to say this

@ASP
i freaking love simple plan gosh

[ProHawk]

Didn't look random to me, he obviously put thought into the vote, as he noticed that I want posting. Also his latest vote is pretty scummy as well.

[Mikazuki]

What.

Domino and Boon hadn't posted either at that point, does he have a reason to pick you over them?

Vote with no useful comment on the easiest target right now? Nah, I don't like it either.
