Slowpoke, I just want to say your latest post was hilarious.:laugh: Brilliant.Quote:
and don't give you the "I have things to do excuse" because that will just tell me you have people you need to think about set up for midnight murders.
Anyway, guys, I don't think you should start talking about tomorrow's voting before seeing who, if anyone (c'mon doc! we're all rootin' for ya!) gets killed. It might reveal some important clues.
Slowpoke doesn't seem keen on lynching Psyduck... what are you getting at Kadabra you seem to be a little worried. Meowth is right though we should wait to tommorow.
Psyduck
you know.. its really weird.. i didnt even know butterfree was a werewolf.. that was just the first pokemon that joined charmander, squirtle and me.. well at least i did one thing right, before ill get lynched :D
Slowpoke
The first day is RANDOM huh? so your basically saying we can't kill you because the first day is RANDOM and the Mafia are supposed to be the ones getting confused kills on the townies while the townies kill themselves? well not thistime... We got lucky with Buterfree and also the fact that people (mainly you) supposrted Butterfree with their votes. You just can't handle the fact that your losing and everything isn't RANDOM like it's supposed to.Quote:

Later on, I might add on a list to the front post like Levian did last round, but there's an element to this game that I still want to have a little mysterious and unknown. If I post the list of roles that are included in this game, it'll make it instantly obvious to some people. So we're gonna wait a few rounds for that official list of included roles. Or wait until you guys figure it out yourselves, and I won't have to semi-spoil it for you.Quote:

After a day of harsh arguments the pokemon finally returned to their pokeballs. But who could sleep with baddies lurking about? In fact, the pokemon didn't sleep. They sat awake all night watching Conan and Gilligan's Island reruns. Squirtle thought he could be just like Gilligan and sail the ocean blue. So he went out for a nice relaxing night swim. Nothing bad could happen here, right? Well, you're right. Nothing bad did happen. No one died tonight.
(please remember that characters chosen in the writeup other than those who died were done at random)
This is the start of Day 2. You have 24 hours to vote for someone to lynch.
Hypno
Vote: Slowpoke
Snorlax
Yay, nobody died. So, who to lynch today? I'll post my thoughts later.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hypno
Unvote: Slowpoke
Vote: Snorlax
This is a pleasant surprise. The doctors must be doing their job. I was sure I was going to get offed, so thank you. Hopefully I can be of assistance this round.
I have a lot to think about now, but I'll start with a statement and tally of the votes. In depth analysis will come later.
That's quite a clutter. Let's remove Hypno from there except for his final vote, and we will get this.Quote:

People who I'm slightly suspicious of and/or other thoughts:
Psyduck: Is a bit all over the place. This could be a joker thing though.
Vulpix: is very very into the game. They've been very helpful and insightful, noone can doubt that, but with that amount of commitment suspicion is sure to arise, because it's a pretty solid way of guaranteeing that you're indisposable. Hell, s/he's so good we might decide to keep them even if they are Mafia.
Hypno: Is perhaps doing a very clever double bluff. By acting like an idiot and pretending to be the jester, is he guaranteeing his own immunity?
- Vulpix addendum: Kadabra supported Vulpix as being a townie. Possibly something to remember later on.
Meowth: Is absolutely convinced that inactivity=evil. This is a good way to persuade others to take out those who aren't as into the game or who don't have very exciting roles and thus don't post as much ie: most of the regular townies.
- Hypno addendum: If it turns out that Hypno is malign, Slowpoke made a throwaway comment about wanting to keep him because he is funny. This is probably of no significance, but could be useful to remember as more is revealed.
Sandshrew and Geodude: are obviously allied to even a very slight extent. It probably means nothing, but again it may be useful to remember. I don't think we can get on Geodude's back for being so defensive when he was mass voted so early on. Unless Geodude is scum, we have no real reason to suspect Sandshrew except for what I've stated on Vulpix.
Those who are just going with the flow: Clefairy, Snorlax, Pikachu (due to faulty connection, I know) , Eevee - these guys haven't said anything hugely gasp-inducing or overanalysed things thus far. They are making regular amounts of posts with a little bit of thought put into them. Nothing to point the finger at, but they're being careful. Kadabra doesn't quite fit here - he's quite into the game and has defended and accused people rather voraciously.
Everyone else: Jigglypuff, Togepi, Digglet, Charmander, Ditto, Squirtle I'm fairly sure are townies or have made like, one post.
My :twocents:
After a lot of thought, here's what I came up with. I tend to get long-winded, so please try to follow my train of thought and tell me if you think I'm reading too much into it.
I think the first thing to do would be to have a good idea of what a werewolf actually is. Miriel said it was in the Mafia Wiki, so I took the liberty of looking it up.
I think it's safe for us to assume, then, that werewolves are mafia and not a serial killer. But it still bothers me that they would choose to call it werewolf with no apparent reason. Why not just call it mafia? Can werewolves really infect people - is it a different type of mafia where they can win once everyone becomes a werewolf?Quote:

Wouldn't this also fit into Miriel's claim that the game will only last a few days? If there's two Mafia groups killing people at night, that would certainly speed the process up.
There's too many aspects of the game that are simply unknown right now, so analysis and a decision is especially tough. For the time being, unless you all think that I am reading too deeply into it, I'm going to assume that there's two factions because I simply can't place why Miriel and Del Murder would choose to call the mafia werewolves otherwise. Simply going by infection is out, because if there ended up being one more werewolf every night then there's no possible way for the citizens to win. This unfortunately also makes decisions infinitely harder to render, since there are so many more possibilities.
Now, Butterfree was a werewolf. Here are the people who voted for Butterfree: Oddish, Clefairy, Psyduck, Squirtle, Slowpoke. I think it's safe to assume that these pokemon are at least not werewolves.
Butterfree didn't even vote last round, so it's impossible to analyse voting patterns by looking at who voted with him. I think voting on the first day was really mostly guesswork, and we only got a mafia or evil member by luck. We can't continue to count on luck, though.
I stand by my idea that Psyduck is telling the truth because he's being a little too obvious. I think the mafia would (should) be smarter than to draw so much attention to themselves right away. Hypno is just voting for everyone and anyone, including himself. I can't decide if this is a clever mafia plot or not, but I don't think the mafia would act like that... is there a jester in this game?
There seemed to be a bit of unresolved bickering between Slowpoke and Kadabra before the thread was closed. Slowpoke is obviously not a werewolf because he made the deciding vote on Butterfree. This would normally cause me to write him off as a suspect on that alone, but since I'm going by my two mafias theory, I can't do that. Slowpoke, to be honest, has been the most suspicious to me so far in the game. Here's my reasons.
In the debate between Slowpoke and Kadabra, I think Kadabra's argument is more sound. Not only that, it seems like Slowpoke is being rather aggressive in pointing fingers. Let me quote this.
Kadabra stated that he only changed votes once, and from my tally I can confirm that.Quote:

2) I do not see any instance of lying. Please point this out to me if I missed anything.
3) "Wanting to kill innocent people?" How does Slowpoke know for a fact that Geodude is innocent? Geodude could be innocent, or he could be mafia, but why is Slowpoke accusing Kadabra of this already, at this point in the game?
I may be unknowingly a little biased simply because Kadabra mentioned that he thinks I'm not mafia, and I know that I'm not mafia. I'll try not to go on that, since it could be a mafia plot. Thinking Slowpoke is suspicious definitely doesn't put Kadabra out of the hole, either.
Next, Kadabra's next post mentioned that if Psyduck were mafia, Kadabra would rather let him die for being "a sucky mafia." I think there's logic in that - Psyduck is standing out and being suspected from the start. It seemed like he wouldn't last long. If it seems like he's going to die early in the game, a smart mafia member wouldn't draw future attention to themselves by protecting him, would they?
Slowpoke's next post.
I can't even tell if this post is serious or not, honestly. I'm just curious as to why you think Geodude is definitely an innocent and proved his worth to the town already. I don't think we should go about lynching Geodude at this point but I don't think anyone has proven themselves to be definitely innocent yet, either.Quote:

I'm not saying you're definitely mafia, far from it, but your posts just don't give me a sense of you being a citizen right now. Maybe there's a good explanation for this; I would like to hear it.
Squirtle's also a bit of a mystery to me. He's been siding with Psyduck and Slowpoke, but Slowpoke seems to be against Psyduck. The thing is, Squirtle hasn't made any valid points about why he's been siding with anyone. That also arouses some suspicion.
Last, the people who haven't voted at all and still haven't had activity in the thread seem to also be a valid choice. Bulbasaur, Gastly, Snorlax, Togepi, Jigglypuff, and Diglett did not vote last round. Since everything I'm going by this round is pretty tentative and rests on the idea that there's two mafia factions, it might be better to go for an inactive instead based on reasons I stated yesterday.
I really do want to find out if there is a vampire faction though; that would completely validate or invalidate all my ideas. This would be so much easier if Miriel or Del posted a list.
I'm not going to vote yet, I'd like to hear some explanations from the people I addressed first and some input on my post before I make my decision. Keep in mind I'm fairly uncertain about any of this and my logic all rests on mere assumptions, so please try to think for yourselves and make your own deductions first.
Whew. I'll be back in eight hours or so. I'm sorry if this is tl;dr.
Edit: Oddish, I don't think my dedication should point to me being mafia, simply that I have no life. I'm hoping to provide logical reasoning to go on so we can bring down the mafia. I guess only time will tell if I'm right or not, though.
I also looked it up. I found it pretty confusing and assumed that this mafia was playing with a different werewolf. Good idea about the two factions, that's very interesting.Quote:

The reason I didn't anwser your question when you asked are werewolf serial killers is I'm annoyed and feel like people aren't paying any attention to what I'm saying voting for. I clearly said earlier reasons for thinking Butterfree is mafia, and working with other people. Yet no one even thought about what I said and kept asking about whether werewolf were serial killers, to the point where I had to quote myself and make drama about people I think worked with butterfree to satisfy your short attention spans and redraw your attentions to Evidence which I think you Vulpix, are leaving out. You aren't considering the people whos votes counted towards butterfrees escape. obviously if the mafia where with butterfree after the votes turned against them, theyd either change their vote, or like kadabra did keep their vote in placr and seem inactive so that people won't question them....may I remind you kadabra didn't post all the way until he was accused and he reacted fairly fast, showing that he was active but decided not to change votes, or post on purpose. I may not be using textbook Mafia suspicions for reasons I feel people are Mafia and some of it are weird connections I am too slothful to gather evidence for. Seriously why am I not being given any credit for all my work to the town?:(
Also: I have theories of kadabra bieng aMafia memberwerewolf member and if you were his partner, then you would expect that the townies would expect that anyone with a werewolf connection to kadabra wouldn't try to back him up. So your backing up kadabra in the defense that a werewolf normally wouldn't back up another werewolf. I almost made a mistake and accused you of bieng partnered with kadabra without this explanation otherwise you would have probably just replied "why would I back up kadabra so openly if I was a mafia, that would make me a sucky mafia :p "
-.-
Psyduck
psyduck is just glad he made it through the night.. and vulpix is right.. om playing this all wrong.. however.. there will be more mafia games
for my vote however.. i shall refrain from doing so.. there is lotsa more time for that
*takes a bite out of left over buttered free*
anyone want a wing? :p
