POKéMAF: Gotta kill'em all! - GAME ENDED

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:33 am

Welcome to the fantastic world of POKéMON!

I am Profess- no. I am Mewtwo! People call me the strongest of all POKéMON. As such, I am only allowed to fight in the Über tier, where the strongest only thrive. Sadly, a certain few are not in their greatest shape in this metagame. Four of them saw fit to go down to the OverUsed tier this evening, probably because, sick of losing to me, they want to bully around those weaker than them. How low.

I could tell you who they are, but you're OverUsed. The n°1 competitive tier. You should be able to figure it out by yourself. Of course, there are also rumors about other Übers coming down to help you kick those rebels back up to Übers. Sadly, in the uproar, some of you OverUsed will be sent up here as well... maybe. Suspect testing tends to be messy.

Well now, it's up to you, for I return to my home!

Mewtwo has been sent to Übers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The night arrives, bringing with it a raging sandstorm.

Night 0 starts. No mafia attack can be declared, but you can buy one item and do your EV training, via PMs. Night Actions can actually also be taken, excuse the early mess-up.

Item List:
Expert Belt (Powers up super-effective moves) - Leftovers (Nightly recovery) - Life Orb (Power-up, but gives recoil to attacks) - Metronome (Powers up an attack if used several times in a row) - Muscle Band (Powers up physical attacks) - Shell Bell (Recovery on hit) - Wise Glasses (Powers up special attacks)
Apicot Berry (Grants SpD when low on health) - Enigma Berry (Recovers from a non-lethal super-effective hit) - Eject Button (Avoids a KO but self-blocks this night) - Focus Sash (First lethal hit leaves you with 1HP) - Ganlon Berry (Grants Def when low on health) - Kee Berry (Grants Def when hit by a physical move) - Liechi Berry (Grants Atk when low on health) - Maranga Berry (Grants SpD when hit by a special move) - Petaya Berry (Grants SpD when low on health) - Power Herb (Skips a recharge turn) - Red Card (First person who attacks you can't attack next day phase) - Sitrus Berry (Recovery when low on health) - Weakness Policy (Grants Atk and SpA when hit by a super-effective move)

EV Training:
You have 200 points to invest in Attack (Atk), Defense (Def), Special Attack (SpA) or Special Defense (SpD).
You may only invest up to 100 points into a single stat.

Time to set up, everybody!

Yes, I'm going to need a night's sleep to make sense of all this indeed. Impressed at the detail. Did you all create this, or did you improve on a format?

hawkesnightmare · Post by **hawkesnightmare** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 7:21 am

My first guess would be that it is a tweaked format, but I don't want to underestimate Satel's creativity.

Pkdragon · Post by **Pkdragon** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 7:29 am

if anyone has any moves that would be broken as fudge if two people had them pls contact me

you don't need to tell me what you are or if youre mafia i really don't care just show me your moves

You guys, Bro did that from scratch and I can assure you.

Waiting for the dust to settle.

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 7:06 pm

I pretty much made it from scratch, yes, just taking inspiration from POKéMON battles and Mafia games.

@Linkman: It's akin to roleclaiming. Do at your own risk.

OK, attack me and I'll move you so hard you're not even going to keep playing this game.

I wonder how this will play out. Unlike lynch votes, pokemon attacks aren't equal, and will vary in effectiveness depending on the user and the target. Another point of difference would be that lynch votes are reset when the day starts whereas the damage done by a pokemon attack will persist and accumulate. I wonder how this will change our strategies.

A lot more "vote" analysis.

Post by **Linkman** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:11 am

Satel I'm sorry to ask but could you do sort of a "quick-start" guide? Basically a bulleted list of how night phases go, how day phases go, what are the actual teams and win conditions?

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:14 am

It's very much a regular game. Night actions are simultaneous and happen before the mafia's night attacks. Day phase is really the usual thing except you have to designate your attacks.

The teams are just the OverUsed (Townies) and the Übers (Mafia).

I'm perplexed as to why people find this so complicated, but at the start of each phase I will be telling people what to do.

Post by **Linkman** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:18 am

Well I really don't see how my attacks work.

Like, if I go "Splash at MysteriousLad", is that equivalent to Lynch MysteriousLad? Or does it do 10 HP damage to MysteriousLad and if his HP reaches 0 he is lynched? How is damage calculated?

Is there an inspector, or doctor equivalent?

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:24 am

Attacks are handled like in POKéMON, all attacks occur when everyone has cast an attack or someone faints. I intended on describing that at the start of day phase 1.

Post by **Linkman** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:24 am

Also how exactly are we supposed to keep our identities secret while performing attacks? Like, if I go "Water Gun at Sven" it should be pretty clear I'm a water type. Or is day voting secret?

I don't want to bring the game down (honest!), the reason I'm asking is because I do want to play well.

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 2:27 am

Attacks will be one of the things that can give you away. Day voting is public, because otherwise it's just another night phase and people can't really play together if day voting is secret.

EDIT: Everybody, you have 27 hours left.

Squirtle Squirtle!

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 6:01 am

I'm still waiting for a few night actions. The deadline is in 23 hours and 30 minutes. Be sure to send your night actions before this point.

Maybe it's Dragonite aka MysteriousLass?

No, really, everyone has sent me what's needed except hawkes and pk's night actions.

You have 4 hours and 50 minutes or so before your night action is skipped.

Dammit. I hoped I could do this ias soon as I was waking up from my afternoon nap...

Pkdragon · Post by **Pkdragon** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 1:11 am

woops i thought i sent you my night action, sorry about that.

hawkesnightmare · Post by **hawkesnightmare** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 4:23 am

I did send you my night action you dingus.

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:25 am

Forgot to note it. Oh well, better safe than sorry. Night Phase ends.

Post by **HPD** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:42 am

So now what?

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:45 am

The sun rises, still masked by the raging Sandstorm harassing the OverUsed ladder.

POKéMON have made their business and trained for the night, and wake up ready and eager to kick the Übers back upstairs, where they belong.

1- Airnike 100%
2- Alecat 100%
3- Dragonite 100%
4- GoD 100%
5- Hawkes 100%
6- HPD 100%
7- K 100%
8- Kir 100%
9- Lad 100%
10- Linky 100%
11- pk 43%
12- Q 100%
13- Sven 100%
14- Terragent 100%

Hit it, townies!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the day phase, declare an attack and who you direct it at.

When a POKéMON faints or all attacks are declared, the day ends and all attacks occur.

Post by **HPD** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:49 am

lol pk what the hell happened to you?

But uhhm, is any attack we make final, or can we change votes? Or can we target players first and attacks later, or the other way around?

I have a feeling that the first person to attack someone is going to be gangbanged by everyone else.

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:50 am

Both have to be done at the same time, and yes, you can change as long as the day isn't over.

EDIT: Basically it's like a regular Mafia day phase except some lynch votes are more efficient than others.

Post by **Linkman** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:53 am

Hyper Beam at HPD.

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:55 am

Linkman's Hyper Beam is not a valid entry.

Subsequent false attacks will be signaled by the same red posts.

Post by **Linkman** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:55 am

Naw for real though, I can attack multiple users at once:

Earthquake at Everyone

(I'm UberSquirtle)

Post by **Linkman** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:55 am

aw Satel you're such a buzzkill

Post by **HPD** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:56 am

But the day ends as soon as everyone attacked? That puts a LOT of power in the hands of whoever attacks last.

Isn't there something like a couple hours of review time after everyone voted to change their votes in? At least that would give sort of a set point at which we know the day will end.

And what do you mean that the day ends when a pokemon faints? How does that even work?

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:56 am

Linkman's Earthquake is not a valid entry.

Oops, did I forget to specify you couldn't use moves you do not know?

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:57 am

If attacks are enough to KO a POKéMON, it is immediately KO'd and day ends.

oh ok fair enough

Post by **Linkman** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:59 am

Uh

So joke lynch votes might actually end the day phase.

Don't Hyper Beam at HPD people

Satel · Post by **Satel** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:00 am

That said, pay very much attention to what attacks you are sending where. A KO can happen really fast.

See PK's life? Only one thing hurt him.

EDIT: Linky, attacks that I redposted as invalid entries do not count.

Post by **Linkman** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:01 am

I know, but if you happen to be a Tauros or a Dragonite, like, be careful with your Hyper Beams. Those things kill!
