Mafioso Pokemon edition. REVENGE for Blastoise.

[Illven]

"And so we commend Blastoise's fainted body to the sea. Like the water type that it is. Blastoise is as dictated by his will is being buried with it's dozens of trophies, fire fighting awards, evacuation awards, rescue awards, and finally the most perfect pair of sunglasses to exist." The funeral director continues.

"As the Jigglypuffs serenade Blastoise's spirit to rest, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that these MONSTERS! Of the POCKET variety that did this, will be caught and punished most severely." The Funeral director assures those of you interested in JUSTICE!

"But for now, please enjoy the culinary delicates of our master chef, Alolan Muk." Why you are choosing to have the Sludge pokemon cook your meals, you're not entirely sure. But you're doing it.

As it is a mechanic of the game, there will be a certain amount of consideration given for posting. Reminder that double posting is still a thing that we frown upon, in case anyone tries to split up replies to multiple people.

[Illven]

I believe I have done all my adminning. So let's let the game begin.

Duly noted.

First :P

[Xumtiil]

Bladescape is always suspicious. I mean, sword painting rhymes with sword fainting, and Blastoise fainted. Coincidence?
I THINK NOT.

[Rogan]

Hello everybody!

Just a heads-up that the day / night change is at an inconvenient time for me, so it's possible I'll miss it. (Also, it's possible I'm mad enough to not miss it)

I hope, this game will get more activity than the last one, and I'm curious to see the impact of the new rule on the game. I've got some vague ideas, but I don't think sharing them would be helpful at the moment. If they get relevant, I'll let you know.

In order to get a vote out... Let me check something else first. Oh, right.
Anybody who votes Cazero d1 will receive my vote as soon as I can manage.

With this out of the way...
Benoojian , for absolutely no reason at all.

[Luizeu]

Take my super serious vote on
Cazero

[Rogan]

Well... Luizeu, you had it coming!

(Yeah, I get it's a joke. But still, could we please not vote for the one person who said before the game randed that they would not be online day 1?)

[Caedorus]

Post count determines the order powers go off in.

So Snow always goes first, got it.
Just to clarify, *highest* post count goes first?

[Illven]

Probably.

And yes, highest then second highest.

[Benoojian]

In a bastard game my first suspect is always the Narrator, Illven

Discussion! Let's spice it up.

[Persolus]

Per-per Persolus! So so Persolus solus solus Per Persol Solus solus. Persol Solus so, Sol Persolus us.

[Hello everyone! I'm Persolus and think that you shouldn't kill me first round. According to my d14, Cao is a vile Squirtle-killer.]

[Cazero]

(Yeah, I get it's a joke. But still, could we please not vote for the one person who said before the game randed that they would not be online day 1?)

By the looks of it I'll be here for the first half of it.

Funny anecdote.
Dice choosing who lives or die,
Vote against Rogan.

Those are fighting words.
But since you will not trust them...
Voting Persolus.

[Snowblaze]

So it begins. Uh... vote. Olive_Sophia for repaying my brilliant lobbying to secure your election by getting me killed the moment I turned my back.

(No actual hard feelings, tbc.)

Trying to come up with a decent RP concept, mostly failing.

Note to self: make it very clear that Isle of Chaos does not include the narrator secretly being a wolf, cultist or serial killer.

Inspiration has struck!

This was a stupid mission. Most of Jolteon's missions were stupid, but this one in particular. What made it even more stupid was that she hadn't even killed Blastoise.

She'd been hired to eliminate every Squirtle she could find, yes (and by a political lobbyist, as well. She couldn't understand what motivation someone like that would have to want a Pokemon species wiped out. It paid well, though.) This one wasn't her doing, though, despite the fact she had both motive and opportunity.

No, now she just had to avoid getting caught for the crime she didn't commit in time to actually do her job properly - and, of course, dodge the other criminal out there.

(Electric is strong against water, and Jolteon is electric... right? I remember really hating Jolteons when trying to use Gyrados in Pokemon Go PvP, anyway. So that's close enough.)

Also yeah, EOD is three in the morning my time. So that won't be happening.

[Caedorus]

Per-per Persolus! So so Persolus solus solus Per Persol Solus solus. Persol Solus so, Sol Persolus us.

[Hello everyone! I'm Persolus and think that you shouldn't kill me first round. According to my d14, Cao is a vile Squirtle-killer.]

Persol-sus Are you actually reading this?

[Persolus]

Persol-sus Are you actually rading this?

So! Per persolus sol per solus!

[Gasp! How dare you cast aspersions on my character!]

[AvatarVecna]

Depends how on I happen to be that game. Doesn't happen as much around here anymore.

Also I'm not too worried about double posting. Either someone posts before I post this, in which case I'm not double posting, or this message gets rolled into that one, which still isn't double posting. The only way to double post is if I make two messages an hour apart with nobody else posting during that hour...which hardly counts as spamming the thread.

Really the only way to spam the thread would be to have 2 people online at the same time who are both incredibly talkative and competing for first place.

Great, now we got a Mafia Cinematic Universe thing going on.

[AvatarVecna]

Her being an admitted squirtle assassin is all the more reason to vote her out

[Rogan]

I, for one, like Snows callback to the last game. And while there is always a possibility of her RP actually having a connection to her alignment, it's hardly required.

[CaoimhinTheCape]

Vote Caderous for being a turtle hating Pokemon.

snowblaze for committing the future crime of talking more than me

That actually brings up a good point, with the new rule about posting does mafia try to post a lot to make sure their night kill/actions go through or focus more on not being suspicious in the first place and hope we WIFOM into lynching the high posters? Do they kill the high volume posters to move up in the turn order?

Lots of single votes out there, Persolus with an early lead of 2 votes. Can he make it to the finish line and will he win a trip to Faint Island? But what's this? Another contender arrives? Luizeu is now neck-to-neck with Persolus? It's still early in the race, but we'll see if the mighty Wyvern Rider can shake off the Chocolate Delivery Pokemon!

While it's tempting to speculate, I think we shouldn't do so at the moment.
It might give the wolves ideas, without giving us a benefit in return.

This line of thinking ends up in WIFOM loops. I could see a decent argument for a few different positions, and then a less-decent argument for a few other positions that is mostly "people expect you to be in the first group, so don't be there". Between the two, basically every configuration is covered. I think we're better off evaluating people off their content than off their post count, in part because town is incentivized to post a lot too.
