Yes dakky thats my master plan darn you figured it out. Pokemon can attack or defend. Im assumeing not all pokemon will defend witch means people will die tonight who ive not a clue but heck im assumeing me being fire a water will attack me so im prolly dead anyway...im attacking idk who yet and im shure more will meani g more deaths...more deaths means hopefuuly better chance for good people to unravel whats going ondakky21 wrote:Good idea, but also a great scum tell.

It's Day 1 bro, virtually all of us will get a few votes wrong on Day 1.
Hmmm? I did not deliberately misread him. It's possible that I have misread him but it certainly was not deliberate.DoomYoshi wrote:Fircoal is scum for deliberately misreading dakky. Dakky said he is someone's starter Pokemon, not a day 1 recruit. Mandy already said night actions will be resolved in the day. Masket can confirm how it works. It's great, if dakky flips town we kill masket. It's win/win at this point.
Also did Mandy say that night actions were resolved in the day? Because I don't remember seeing that.
Fair enough, while I don't agree I can see where you're going with this.aage wrote:It's a rare scenario where a policy lynch overlaps with a scum-aimed lynch.Fircoal wrote:AD, aage, Serbia - what makes you so sure that mets is scum?
In his earlier statement he said he wanted to play the players, not the mod. He has done nothing but play the mod since then. I think avoiding the actual game and only responding to outside interference makes you look alive even though you're not really playing.
As to his "I quit" shenanigans, you read the thread. If he seriously thinks this game is so unwinnable for him when Mandy interferes and confirms so little, he can't be town right?![]()
Thirdly, this:does not logically follow into a scum read on Tim. He says it's not alignment-indicative, and he is quite right. Doesn't make Tim scum, doesn't explain his vote.Metsfanmax wrote:Disagree. Tim has had exactly this type of tantrum before in other games and it's not alignment-indicative.
I have nothing to do with the flame war between Mets, Nark and Serbia.

@No Lynch, No lynch, like always is a terrible idea. The town always wants the chance to lynch as it's the main tool of the town. In this game there are more powered attackers but it's always useful to get the chance at killing scum that we get. Even in this early stage it'd be foolish not to.
@Nark, I do find it quite troubling that his information clashes so heavily. Considering that he says he's a wild Pokemon and yet his pm seems to be different from the wild Pokemon pm. That means he's likely lying, which wouldn't make sense if he was a town trainer. Unvote. Vote: AD
Didn't mets just say that we shouldn't lynch Nark? (I don't know if I have the seniority to call you Nark, feel free to yell.)

Not sure why I'm on this list when most people seem to have me down in a role already.Skittles! wrote: That is true, there is a difference. Just because that's all there is on Nark does not mean we need to settle on him, there have been so many leads that have actually just been a dead end this whole day. While we should lynch someone really soon, I still there can be information found from other players that have not been giving much input. Going on this, here is a list of people who haven't yet claimed being a pokemon (from what I remember) :
It's from this list that I think we should get more information from them in regards to how they fit into this.
- Fircoal
Skoffin
Marashu
newguy
nagerous
Hotshot
Ragian(?)
MM
TWO
exile
Talapus
Serbia
Also, I am willing to believe that Nark is a pro-town or anti-trainer/TR.
Pretty much what nagerous said up there. Let's look at the odds here based on my reasoning from a couple pages ago:strike wolf wrote:If your theory is correct, I would like masket to elaborate on this. I admit it sounds very strange to me that someone would be given a role pm for one thing and then told that they were now recruited before the game actually began.nagerous wrote:Interesting how Minister Masket voted dakky. This seems to suggest that this is not how the mechanic works. With the amount of wild Pokemon claims going around and also comments about starter Pokemon it could easily be scum that recruited dakky as much as it is town.
Lynching mitch under the idea that he is a team rocket recruited pokemon is the same as Lynching any other cult recruit. It makes sense as a back up lynch but we should at least discuss who are the possible cult recruiters before aiming at the recruits as Lynching recruits only delays the inevitable.
fos Nark. Seems you are the only wild pokemon not to know about the other types.
Correct. And it is for this reason that I think that Gary Oak and whoever makes up the town trainers should be unofficially pushing towards an alliance.nagerous wrote:Whilst I am spouting accusations out there I am starting to think dakky might be Gary's starter Pokemon choice, just the way Masket voted immediately gives me the impression this isn't a generic trainer mechanic..
However I couldn't give two shits about Gary even if he has some other win cons thrown out there involving trainers. The goal is to catch team rocket so I would like to hear from Nark for saying he was never told the types of Pokemon.
Most of us know about at least five types but I am going to guess there is another type out there who doesn't play to the same roles out there and may not know about the strengths and weaknesses of each type, the normal type..

I could've sworn I saw a post that only said "Unvote Vote Nark"; but I didn't and I'm sorry. I should have double-checked my post. Fircoal and Strike Jumped on his case. Not you. You originally proposed that nark wouldn't act this way if he's scum. And for that I put you down as an ally. I was lazy and careless.Metsfanmax wrote:I didn't jump on his case.BuJaber wrote: Having said that, it makes me question Fircoal and Mets jumping on his case.
Fircoal wants a lynch, so give him one. Vote FircoalTimWoodbury wrote: I get what your saying no lynch being bad but really weve been a week already and got 6 votes max on anyone...may i ask when exactly is to long nd its a good idea to simply end the day?
Why would they only be 3? Especially if they can capture pokemon. You said you were captured in the confirm stage, you would have known by the time posting this that wild pokemon can be captured. In addition to the possibility that they had pokemon to start with if Mandy is following the anime.dakky21 wrote: So it's correct to assume the Team Rocket consists of 3 players.
Dakky states that he has assumed that scum is Team Rocket. But then we get the following discussion:dakky21 wrote: Exactly, I was the first to assume the scum is Team Rocket or at least part of the scum. Tim asked a legit question which I ignored as what was the possible answer to it? It's just like asking anyone else are they scum. Waste of words typing "NO" when the whole question is based on my own assumption.
On the other hand, mitch asking questions which can't be answered yet is something completely different.
dakky21 wrote:I wonder again how EXACTLY you know what he means, and how EXACTLY you know it is town vs. scum, as I asked already. Now say I'm putting words into your mouth too.Anarkistsdream wrote:Ummm, is that what he said?

By all means, try to say that he and I are scum buddies... He saw something that made sense that will make sense to OTHER PLAYERS... The fact that you aren't one of them worries me... Are you a claimed Pokemon or a trainer? Or are you just plain scum?dakky21 wrote:I'm wondering how do YOU know it is town vs. scum?WingCmdr Ginkapo wrote:Anarks posts contain something that he can only know as town.
Wild pokemon claim here. So in his role he would have been told team rocket has to die for him to win. He assumes team rocket is scum, allegedly knows that he needs to get rid of team rocket, then asks all the wild pokemon how they know they're town? Everyone is making the same assumption that you originally made. Why is it so strange?dakky21 wrote: Why I find this interesting... because I'll claim a wild pokemon as well. But with a little difference... I'm already taken. I know which Pokemon I am, and I know who taken me as a starting pokemon. So I will do whatever my trainer decides and I can't do anything about it.
And then here we have dakky telling us that we should kill team rocket trainers, but he wants to vote for what he thinks is a pokemon captured by team rocket, not a trainer. Also he starts to question the whole scum vs town setup in this game. Trainers might be scum? Wild pokemon might be scum? Why would you suggest these things, when you have not only claimed to be wild pokemon, but also that a trainer captured you.. So are you saying that both you and your trainer might be scum?dakky21 wrote:I can agree here with Nark as I didn't receive a PM also stating I am town. Just wild pokemon before plot twist. I believe no one received a role such as "town trainer" or "scum team rocket". I think it's not a classic game town vs. scum. So any more assumptions on who is what don't make any sense because "town" are probably all trainers with their pokemons and scum are all the rest. And then again, probably only one trainer can win the League so speaking of "town" is actually scummy here. Just my few thoughts... unless I really did get a different Wild pokemon PM from Mandy.
So to summarize, for all "town" trainers and other Wild Pokemon's: Our best bet is to kill Team Rocket trainers and then we will deal against each other. That's inevitable, but at least we can win, or at least, level up and gain possible perks.

I may as well throw my cards on the table and say I'm also a wild pokemon. I'm sure you'll understand if I don't want to reveal which type. I wanted to go after the trainers because I feel strongly that the mechanics of pokemon, in addition to the "RPG" element, lend themselves to a cult and minigame setup. In fact, it was rereading Athkatla - which was faction based recruitment with a non-mafia minigame attached and an SK/PGO to sow confusion - before joining that gave me the idea. Since I don't really want to get recruited (and I didn't know the proportion of wild pokemon in this game), since it's a crapshoot as to if you end up with a winning faction anyway and your previous actions may or may not help your new WC, I pushed the idea we should get rid of trainers since they can presumably recruit and an early cult leader kill simplifies the game hugely for town/survivors in most games.Skittles! wrote:Another thing to add is Exile has been trying to go after trainers the whole game - is it possible that the WC of trainers is to eliminate other trainers and take their recruited Pokemon to the end and eliminate team rocket?

I'm actually with you on this, if solely for the reason that it'd be more fun to do my own night actions than have someone choose them for me. Ya'll better not recruit me.

I don't know what to think about MM. He just posted the 5 types like it was some sort of revelation, when it was obvious to all wild pokemon from their PMs. We've even been talking about it for the past few pages. Some of us knew exactly which types of wild pokemon are in the game. This is not a confirmation as to whether MM was correct about the role types or not.The1exile wrote:To go further, I'm still pretty sure MM isn't a pokemon - although he doesn't read as Team Rocket, annoyingly - and therefore strategically he'd still usually be my choice to lynch purely for info. Sorry, MM. however...
Exactly my point. I understand that the case started out thin, which is why I didn't vote nark to begin with. I only voted him after he basically refused to defend himself. What he said just does not logically make sense with what we know to be true from our role PMs. He could have just said "woops I misread my PM". Honestly, none of this makes any sense. I wasn't going to vote him for maybe misreading his PM, but the lack of effort to defend himself is scummy as hell.The1exile wrote:I mean, I skimmed this bit the first time because I was focussing on the night crunch rather than the total types - but nark's persistent refusal to address this point, when he could have probably studied the thread and styled it out EVEN IF IT'S NOT IN HS PM, leads me to believe he isn't a pokemon. mandy has been here, and so has nark, so there's no reason for the delayed penny-dropping.

Not disagreeing, just asking... What makes you think lynching the Pokemon will reveal the trainer?DoomYoshi wrote:@Fircoal: in the OP, subrule 3 about feedbacks indicates that dakky's recruit works exactly like mandy says it should. The action happens in the night (pre-game in this case) and then the result is received in the day. The case on you is not surprising at this point. You are more familiar with Pokemon than anyone and you even played in my PKMN Chapter 1 which featured the same setup and yet you seem surprised by all the mechanics that people mention.
Mitch is scum based on my read of him, and I am familiar with his play.
I have a sneaking suspicion there are only 3 trainers since the numbers would be lopsided with 3 town recruiters. Whoever recruited dakky is Gary Oak based on dakky's play. We can squeeze him for more information tomorrow. I am fine with lynching dakky just to test numbers (if he comes up as Gary's, then it becomes extremely unlikely to have 3 town recruiters).
Case on Nark is dumb.
A lot of people are stealing my thunder. When I said Wild are town, people were like no-no they are 3rd party. Now more people are realizing they are true town which would still make Ash scum.
