You should see the pm she just sent me...

[Askthepizzaguy]

.......I just said "vote tags". The disease is spreading!

Renata gave me forumitis!

[B-Wing]

Jeez, I was almost late to my own lynching. So, there have been some interesting developments since yesterday. I see Renata has decided to make our agreement a matter of public knowledge, which is fine, though I am nearly baffled at the conclusions she draws from it and the other events. Still, I can see how one in her shoes might perceive these events as being somehow related, having so little to go on. And I do appreciate your decision to somewhat uphold our agreement by not voting for me... even though you managed to draw a number of votes my way in doing so. I'll still stick to my side of the agreement, though, for however little that is worth at this point...

As the immediate matter of who to vote for, I've got nothing constructive to offer the group. So much suspicion, and so very little evidence. Normally I would turn to a truly unbiased arbiter at this time: The Random Number Generator. But as it stands now, the votes are cast in such a way that I am in immediate peril of elimination through combat. So protecting my own hide will take priority. If I count correctly, Saregona has received 4 votes, myself 3, and Seon 2. So I stand a chance to avoid a certain duel by casting my own vote for Seon.

vote: Seon

There. Assuming all other votes remain unchanged, I will be subject to whatever impartial trial of tie-breaking our pragmatic host has determined for such occasions. May the die roll in my favor... or the judge accept begging.

unvote, vote: B_Ray

Your smiley faces are too grumpy. Clearly that makes you mafia.

[B-Wing]

Well that backfired quickly. Consider yourself my enemy, Pizza Guy! I would change my vote to you, but it would be a meaningless gesture at this point. *sigh*

Say, what exactly did Saregona do to garner so much suspicion? Re-reading the voting decisions of this day does not offer much explanation.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Rivals, baby, Rivals. Just because I'll become world champion before you, and I'll say my Pokemon are better, it doesn't mean I hate you. I'm secretly jealous of your Beefy physique and your abundant smileys.

Just got done analyzing last night's battles (I know, it's been a busy day for me).
There is definitely something strange about that Charizard. Renata's Ampharos should have had a good, bordering on unbeatable chance of victory, since electric is super-effective against flying, and flying is not very effective against electric while fire is only moderately. In fact, chaotix points this out for us.
"As soon as it was instructed, Charizard gave a great flap of its wings, stood its ground, and instantly broke the electric current. It hardly looked fazed by the super-effective electric attack, and with a devious glint in its eyes it launched another Fire Blast."

I think if and when we find our Charizard owner, it will be time for a uni-boot, especially given the "The opposing trainer did not look as if to have any intent of ending the battle with just the Pokemon" clause. By contrast, I'm going to guess for the moment that the Magnezone owner may be a vig, based on the not-killing of Nurse Joy.

If the attackers use up their pokemon and don't have extras, then there's a good chance Maxie's attacker is completely vulnerable if discovered, because he lost two last night and may well have been one of the attackers the first night.

The other question is, we had three attacks both nights. If the charizard attacker attacked on the first night, why didn't they use charizard then? Granted, it's perfectly reasonable that one of the attackers from the first night wouldn't have attacked again, not wanting to risk the loss of more pokemon.

unvote, vote: B_Ray

Why B_ray over Seon?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Why B_ray over Seon?

I'm going to get myself in trouble if you guys keep questioning me. I'm not inclined to give very serious answers.

I was about to post "because Seon is my mafia partner" but I'll be more productive: I didn't have a reason so much as an instinct.

At the moment, B Ray showed up to spare himself, and was a bit wordy about it. It's obvious why he was voting, pure self interest. It doesn't take quite so many words to express that concept, and the smiley faces literally seemed thrown in there to indicate emotion, which is a great way of faking emotions you're not feeling. I used to consider it a better-than-nothing scum tell until people began wising up about that, but B_Ray hasn't been around long enough to be familiar with the SkyNet system.

[Renata]

All right.

[Renata]

You should see the pm she just sent me...

It wasn't that bad ... :)

B_ray, if you were a townie -- sorry. I got a bad case of the paranoids. And even at that, you were supposed to be fighting Seon or Saregona fighting Seon.

[Double A]

Pizza, you've been awfully off-topic and spammy this game. I'd expect that from me.

What role do you have, I must wonder.

I'm mafia. I've been attacking you guys at night. You guys do put up a fight, I must admit, but in the end, I am the most powerful Poketrainer of them all.

And there's nothing you can do to stop me, foolish mortals! NOTHING!!! FOR I HAVE THE LEGENDARY... ARCEUS? Arcaeus?

Tbh I didn't pay attention to Pokemon after the second generation.

[Death is yonder]

Whoops, I completely forgot to vote

Skimmed the thread super quick, didn't see much to comment on, then within the span of a few seconds re-focused my mind onto work, and it never came up again.

On a general (somewhat irrelevant but queer) observation that just reoccurred to me now pertaining to last night phase's write up:

Nurse Joy was clearly engaged by a trainer but the announcer fellow states:

The wild Pokemon of Cerulean Cave can be fierce. Perhaps it is wiser merely to stay in the rooms provided for you during the night.

Food for thought

[Renata]

Renata, you've messed up more vote tags than anyone I've ever seen. I still wuvs you though.

I just did another one over on TWC! Heh.
