I think it makes more sense to exhaust my 2 ninja shots first.

Of course, I just mean when the normal NK comes up after we use up the Ninja and/or Strongman kills.

"Looks like this game is moving along rather quickly, don't really have much time right now to go through every post. Just waiting for that unnecessary gambit to come along any time now."
now I want to Miller-claim

For the Archives: CM hinting at a non-trainer/non-pokemon role?
Since normal pokemon are informed about the Trainer catching mechanic ( as per the ordindary role PM in the opening ) this post doesn't make much sense. We haven't seen a Trainer PM either but I think it's a safe guess that they have the catching mechanic explained to them too. CM = Neutral? Someone outside the catching/trainer mechanic? going by this logic Stan is probably a Pokemon too because of his post. |

Post by Sawneeks on Sept 13, 2016 20:04:09 GMT -8
Actually
willing to bet Stan has a PR.
It does say in the example Ordinary PM that 'you unfortunately do not have powers' and it's a fairly easy leap to assume some Pokemon = PRs but at the same time Stan is incorrect ( and uncertain ) about Team Rocket being able to catch Pokemon, yet he is fairly confident in Pokemon having powers.
food for thought when night comes

v1.0:
- Do not NK anyone for as long as possible
- Role-claim as Miller/Tracker
- somehow peek at the real Tracker who also peeks back
- ram the iceberg

trying to think about what a non-Pokemon/non-Trainer role could be
perhaps Nurse or Officer? Pokecentre person?
Bike shop guy/armourer-type Role?
hmm

Bold, I like it. What did you have in mind for 2.0?
Neutrals I've always assumed it's something only slightly related to the topic/theme of the game at hand. So like a Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh character for flavor, for the role it's hard to say until we get past Night 1.
More kills = Serial Killer
Other than that it's anywhere from a Survivor to Ascetic Bulletproof Neutral Whatever.
Either way it sounds like CM isn't a part of this game's whole central mechanic.

FAKE ROLE-CLAIM #1 (draft 1)
Pokemon Breeder
(Neutral-aligned)
- can catch Pokemon, but can only have a maximum of 2
- the 2 captured Pokemon have a private chat, but the Breeder is not part of it (they need the privacy) ¬_¬
- every, um, 2 Nights or something, the 2 captured Pokemon make an Egg item, which the Breeder gets
- each Egg is a 1-shot Bulletproof that can either be gifted to someone else or kept (flavour is that no one would harm someone carrying a Poke-Egg)
- if the Breeder distributes 3 Eggs, they win the game as a Solo Neutral Win and exit

Might want to tone down the win condition to make it more believable.
With that claim it would take you 2 Night phases to get both Pokemon Caught, 2 Night phases for the Egg to show up, and then times the egg part by 3 since you would need to 'distribute' each egg to win.
So it would take 8 Night phases to win if you were not role-blocked and your 2 captured pokemon were not NKed. I don't think most games make it to Night 8+? At least not with 3 connected people like that.
You would also need 2 players to back you up in the 'private chat' claim, so unless you claimed before you could 'recruit' someone it might not work.

...
Or you could have the phantom 'masons' never speak of their identity to save themselves and that's why they won't come forward to verify you. You would be in limbo, not fully confirmed or denied because the main confirmation in your favor, the 'masons', would have a reasonable excuse for not coming forward.
Honestly that would be a good claim if we wanted you to sacrifice yourself for the good of Team Rocket. Sacrifice via lynch
Price is Right was basically just a warm-up for this game. Damn.

Alright, clocking out for the night.
i think tomorrow at work I'm going to brainstorm some fake claims for those of us who are Pokemon. The trainer catching mechanic has me all sorts of nervous and leaves a bunch of questions. Is it a Mason chat? Does the trainer know the Type of Pokemon they caught ( so if they 'caught' LP would it tell them they caught a Normal Type Pokemon? ) ? How many Pokemon can be caught by one trainer? How many trainers do we even have?? etc. etc. etc.
idk
good night fellow rockets

FAKE ROLE-CLAIM #2 (draft 1)
Pokemon Ace Ventura, Pokedetective*

- is funny
- is a Detective
- Pokemon expert
- very valuable to Town
*Disclaimer: Not the aforementioned thought

I think it would be smart to keep at least one shot of my strongman kills in reserve, in case someone claims a pr with the doc still in play.
Also, neutrals can be characters from outside the theme, but more often then not they are just characters from the fiction that aren't really part of a team and only care about themselves. I could see Gary or Mewtwo being a good fit for a neutral in this game.

 alright, nerds This, is us: 1. roytheone [m] - JESSIE, Mafia-aligned 2-shot Strongman
4. Blargonaut [m] - Klang, Mafia-aligned Vengeful
8. Fireblend [m] - JAMES, Mafia-aligned 2-shot Ninja
15. Sawneeks [f] - Caterpie, Mafia-aligned Roleblocker
17. Lone_Prodigy [m] - Tauros, Mafia-aligned Goonso, I've been thinkingMyself, Sawneeks and Lone_Prodigy, being Pokemon, are susceptible to being captured/recruited away to another Pokemon trainer. In the event that this happens, us captured scum Pokemon need a way to communicate with the rest of the scum team, seeing as we'll lose posting access here. Therefore, I have devised a series of CODEWORDS that correspond to each of the 18 non-scum players, as seen below: CODEWORDS (FOR COMMUNICATION IF/WHILE CAUGHT IN ENEMY BALLS):2. Sophia [f] -> " LIBRARY CARD" / "SUCH INSIGHT" 3. Dusk Soldier [m] -> " CHARGE YOUR POKEDEX" / "ALMOST OUT OF BATTERY" 5. Bronx-Man [m] -> " POKEMON LEGO" / "EXPENSIVE SET" 6. Ty4on [m] -> " PACHINKO CUTSCENE" / "QUIT GAMBLING" 7. SalvaPot [m] -> " CHAMBER OF COMMERCE" / "SO VERY BORING" 9. Royal_Flush [m] -> " FAKING NOTES" / "TAKING VOTES" 10. Darryl [m] -> " KEYBOARD FIGHT" / "TASTEFUL PROSE" 11. El Topo [m] -> " SNORE LAXATIVE" / "DEEP TROUBLE" 12. melonrabbit [f] -> " BREAKFAST CEREAL" / "CEREAL BOX" 13. Unmasked Ferret [m] -> " MYSTERY MEAT" / "GREAT SANDWICH" 14. Gorlak [m] -> " PAY FOR FANFIC" / "CREATIVE CAREER" 16. Hyperactivity [m] -> " COTTON CANDY" / "DESSERT FIRST" 18. Ynnek7 [m] -> " RUBBER GOGGLES" / "TREADING WATER" 19. StanleyPalmtree [m] -> " LONG VACATION" / "ISN'T A TIMESHARE" 20. Kawl_USC [m] *Splinter [m] -> " UTMOST DISRESPECT" / "CLASSY REBUTTAL" 21. nin1000 [m] -> " HUNGRY, HUNGRY HIPPOWDONS" / "WASTED I.P." 22. Verelios [m] -> " DANIEL CRAIG" / "BOND VILLAINS" 23. Christina Mackenzie [m] -> " AWESOME SOUNDTRACK" / "CLASSICAL MUSIC" With these CODEWORDS; if you are captured, find a way to innocuously incorporate/insert them into your game-thread post(s) as a means to inform us of: - who recruited you - who else was recruited by the player/Trainer who recruited you I've provided 2 variants for each person, so we aren't caught out because of term repetition. If you have to resort to using these, BE SURE TO SAY EACH FRAGMENT WORD-FOR-WORD, to avoid confusion. And, if you notice one of us has used a codeword in the game-thread, BE SURE to tell the others here that you noticed, and which post it was! --- I might come up with a handful more codewords to symbolize possible Roles and Powers in case one of us, when captured, learns something about the Trainer who caught us (and also if we learn something about the other captured Pokemon) and we need to communicate it secretly too and maybe codewords for ourselves too (unless you wanna pick ones for yourselves)... |

Ugh, Cabot posted here? There goes our perfect scum thread. Thanks worst friend. Also also, can't you guys just claim your real pokemon name and make up a power that fits them? Since Klang, Caterpie, and Tauros aren't necessarily evil Pokemon we probably could. It kind of looks like Pokemon have powers related to moves they would have in the game/anime. Like Caterpie's role block is just String Shot, Klang probably uses Self Destruct, etc. so if we end up claiming Pokemon we should probably also make the PR a move/ability that could be related to that character. I've been toying with the idea of claiming sleepwalker or commuter if I had to, although it all depends on if people know I role block them or not. |
