    I too am more suspicious of Kilee than Rolsand as a trainer. Let alone possibly being able to steal Pokemon from others, the possibility for her to actively expand her Pokemon squad means that she will become quite powerful with an arsenal of abilities at her disposal, and I'm not sure that I trust her to use them for the benefit of the town. If she's not with the town, then she probably becomes a target for the mafia. Vote: Kilee

    I would probably encourage others to damage the Sandshrew as Celina has volunteered, so as to remove it from the equation.

  • ... Am I the only one feeling a little bit sorry for the sandshrew? Here he is, following his trainer, being all loyal... which makes you all want to murder it in the face :( He just wants to be loved, damnit!

    I'm ok with either Rolsand or Kilee for the lynch. I haven't decided which one is worth more. I'll vote one way or the other when I decide, but I need a little longer to cogitate. Probably not going outside that pair unless some new revelation reveals itself.


    To that end, I have a question for the class. I haven't been able to figure out if Kilee claimed her pokemon-acquisition ability as a pokemon power or a trainer power. Does anyone know which is the case? I'm probably missing it in the gigantic mass of posts.



    Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
  • On that note, if I get a hold of it, I will hug it, and cuddle it, and never have it make quakes again.

  • So... if anyone has damage abilities to play with, that Kecleon is going to be nice and vulnerable to Electric and Ice attacks. Just saying.
  • She said it was Shadow Sneak, which is a Pokemon power.
  • Also, could we get a vote count? Everything's been moving quite quickly.

    Yes. This game is insane for pace compared to others. I'm loving it.

    (I believe the vote count is as follows. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE YOUR VOTE WRONG.)

    Champion Alec quickly counts on his fingers as he glances at those gathered in turn, muttering under his breath before stating:

    Vote Count -

    Nobody: 2 (Kilee, Lehki)
    Kilee: 5 (Ushaara, Rolsand, Ssaliss, Thul, Kaimanahi)
    Rolsand: 9 (Makaela, Othero, Krackenor, Sylandra, Cen, Synkarin, Iosion, Phoebus, Portius)
    Luce: 1 (Allyrianne)

              * * * WE'LL KILL AND SLAUGHTER, EAT THE SLAIN * * *
      * * * IN RAVAGING WE'LL ENTERTAIN * * *

    Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
  • Damn just as I was considering Unvoting people manage to reaffirm my suspicions.. sorry Rolsand but my vote stays. I feel it is too risky to keep you alive with an alternate win Condition.

    @Potius the ability to find new pokemon is her Kecleons power, whether it is this same power that actually gives her a new pokemon or not is still in question.

    Did I somehow miss @Luce being suspect?

  • The vote on Luce was essentially for him not speaking. Which reminds me...

    Now we're getting somewhere! Votes are excellent. We can use those in the future to draw conclusions and make speculations.

    Opinion: if this day phase is any indication, many of us here will have OP Pokemanz. If every lynch we are forced to debate "is it safe to let this Pokemon exist" we might not lynch a damn person in this game. I also am willing to believe the town to mafia/third party ratio is in the town's favor, as is traditional. So barring Kilee stealing a Pokemon, odds are a townie will get it. And I'm thinking it's impossible for Kilee to avoid being targeted by someone tonight for something if she lives.

  • @Makaela No, Ally voted that way because there hasn't been a check-in on Luce's part (without reasoning). She believes scum is succeeded in surviving by staying quiet.

    Allyrianne voted for Luce because he's only posted once. I have mercy because his post was letting us know he's alive but rather ill. We're excusing people who haven't posted at all due to being away, so I don't see why we'd vote out a sick person.
  • Thank you for the clarification on the Luce vote.

    Kilee's pokemon is vulnerable and has no damaging abilities. We are also uncertain about her role but an investigative role can easily check her out.

    Rolsands pokemon is also easily targetable, however we know he has an alternate win condition.

    Pick your poison as I have already picked mine.

    Is that total posts or posts since Day 1 started?

  • Total posts. Also, Lavinya made two posts, and Alary have made none, just to clarify. Also, since posts come in way way way too quickly, it might be off a couple of posts of the latest before I made that list.

    Hello everyone! Trainer Salome here, just getting back from a long respite in the Water Gym by the various beaches (you know the ones, I honestly have no idea).  Thank you for being patient, fellow pokedex collectors and researchers! I am here, and I will not take a vote this day, because I have much to catch up on. However, going through the various pages I have missed, the nature of the game swings the vote negatively in Trainer Kilee's direction. @Melai, wanted to know of my intent, and there it is.

    My pokemon, I can reveal is related to ice. I haven't spent much time with them, working on training and battling. But I'll get back to you all soon!
    The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.
  • Looks like total posts, as Luce only has the one Day 1 post despite the 6 Day 0 posts. Would be interesting to compare the two.
  • (I'm not intentionally harping on Luce, he's just the one whose profile I've looked at most recently to figure out what he's said when)
  • UshaaraUshaara Schrödinger's Traitor
    Ooh, is that a forum functionality thing I didn't know about? That's quite handy.
  • It's getting pretty way over my bedtime, so I'll see if we're all still alive when I get back from work tomorrow to figure that list out.

    VOTE ROLSAND


    My reasoning for picking him over Kilee is as follows:

    -Third parties worry me, especially in a high power game. Even if it's a case of a choice between winning as town or winning alone, there's a pretty big chance of betrayal over the course of the game.

    -Posting style is leading to a lot of circular arguments and confusion. I'm concerned that it's going to distract people from other topics as more and more information piles up. It seems reasonable to nip it in the bud now.

    -Low risk. Rolsand claimed third party and hasn't claimed any major powers beyond his pokemon, so I'm guessing he doesn't have any that strongly benefit the town. They probably would've come up by now. Even if he stays completely town-loyal for the whole game, he probably won't be much better than a vanilla townie. A wrong lynch on him is probably safer than a wrong lynch on Kilee.


    -I'm willing to accept that Kilee can get more pokemon. I don't know if that means stealing them, capturing wild ones, or just getting first pick of salvage. I can easily see all of those existing. I'm not sure that I buy it as a pokemon ability as opposed to a trainer power, but I'm not ruling it out, and I can see a bunch of reasons why a town player would claim their trainer power as a pokemon power instead in her situation. The whole thing could be a bluff, but bluffing the ability to create more powers strikes me as so dangerous that it'd be an unlikely choice.

    -If it is a pokemon power, then it's probably random assortment. The odds of a random pick favor it ending on with the town, and that's a really strong town power. If I'm correct in guessing that it's actually her trainer power, then we go into guessing if we think Tremula would put that on a scum or not. Intuition tells me that Tremula would put it on a town or a third party, but I could also see it on scum. I'm not confident in my intuition.

    -If Kilee lives, she's probably getting investigated. We can lynch her tomorrow if she turns out to be evil. I don't think waiting a day will tell us much more about Rolsand, but Kilee

  • As a note, shadow sneak is like Darkrai's signature attack. 
  • No, Dark Void is.

    Shadow Sneak is a generic Ghost type move.

  • (Without sounding like a snot...) I posted that so the Uninitiated won't latch on the idea that Kilee has Darkrai or something already. I highly doubt Darkrai will make an appearance, it's probably more the mascot for one of the two groups we're dealing with.

    I agree with Portius - Kilee doesn't seem to have anything dangerous left (Shadow Sneak has a cooldown by her own admission).
