I'm tempted to combine magikarp and caterpie, but I know that would not be fun to actually use.

EDIT: Is typing the only thing the pokemon carry over? If not, I have an idea...

Also, keep in mind that since we're on Gen I, Steel, Dark and Fairy aren't a thing.

((Question: When evolving a pokéfusion, doest it cost 100$ to evolve both parts or would I have to pay twice for each half?))

((I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put this game on a medium-short hiatus. It kinda already was on one, but it's now official. Mostly because of both being too busy for the long time that takes me to write a turn, and also because of a lack of motivation and inspiration. I would attempt to write something during the short breaks I have, but every time it would end with me just staring at my screen and being unable to come up with anything creative or of enough quality.))

((I'm not sure if it would be too meta, but what about wishing for extra levels? Maybe for everyone or just Sasha if it would be too strong of a wish, so either she or the group can get more powers.))

I just want to note that every single sheet has a Pokéfusion that is super effective against mine.

I mean, You went Bug/Bug-poison, which doesn't really match up with anything in a good way anyways... at least against Oddpix its only got a supereffective defense?
On the upside you are the current front runner for countering psychic types!
Yeah, I don't regret it. I intentionally picked Bug because of how weak the type is to basically everything. Bug Catchers aren't exactly the brightest trainers either.

((...Alright, as much as I would like to continue IC discussion regarding the wish, I'm going to be honest and say I really, really, really don't have any idea of what to wish for. Does anyone have any ideas other than wishing to make Alida a werewolf? I would prefer something that affected everyone in the team, and might wish everyone becomes a werewolf if possible if there are no other ideas. I thought about having unbreakable gems, but then that would basically ensure someone will eventually become a witch and the wish would prevent us from trying something like a mercy kill.))

He probably wouldn't have made the scumslip if he was town, and you probably wouldn't have defended him so eagerly. At first, I also believed it could have been just the way he plays, but even you have to admit this can't just be bad town play anymore.

That's adorable, rgu. Good to have you onboard!
It was a hard choice between having actually useful types or having a fluffy bug.

Everyone: does anyone have an ability that does something like "Learn the names of everyone not targeting your target"?
You know my two abilities, the second is close to what you're asking but not exactly. Is there any reason for you to ask this?

I believe he might have thought he could make it pass as a simple typographical mistake, then after that didn't work he probably attempted to shift focus to the "Nirur Torir or RGU is lying" argument, then suggesting a no-lynch.
Your logic is sound, but you've got the order backwards. Leafsnail suggested a no-lynch; he then shifted focus to Nirur Torir/RGU in the same post. Only later, after Nirur Torir poked him about it, did he try to pass off TricMagic's slip as a typographical error.

I probably just didn't notice until after he suddenly went to defend TricMagic from his slip. But other than that, my main point still stands. There's just too many concidences.

I've played a lot of mafia games, and the "village idiot" is a very consistent pattern. There's a player who posts erratically. Eventually they post something weird and get lynched for it, without anyone actually analysing whether it actually indicates if they're mafia. Usually that player is town, because if they were mafia their teammates would stop them from doing it. I've been trying to push back against this pattern in recent games, because I think it's a major reason why the town tends to lose in forum mafia.

I don't think TricMagic's alleged "slip" makes sense for a mafia member to make. It's obvious that only the mafia has a quicktopic, and they'd be able to use it to tell TricMagic not to talk about it. The idea that I'm mafia for trying to disagreeing with this lynch is even sillier - if I were mafia with TricMagic I could just tell him what arguments I'd want him to make privately, there'd be no need at all to make them myself. Assuming someone's scum because they disagree with you about something is another tempting pattern, but it's not one that's actually based on any logic.

I've been in a scum team with TricMagic and I can tell you that, while it probably doesn't make any sense at all, it would be something TricMagic would do. I'm very sorry, but it's true.

In the game in which I was scum with him, he:

-Refused to explain how his role worked in the scum quicktopic, so I had no idea what he was talking about all of the time. I was his scumbuddy, and I had no idea he could even explode. At first, I believed he just visited others to give fruit and investigated as town, which was completely unrelated to the death-miller truth-bomb role he was.

-Self destructed twice, to activate an ability that would foce their target to tell the truth. Town doesn't have the need to lie, so (if the game hadn't been a bastard mod) his action would have caused two members of the town to be confirmed as such. It was actively harmful to the scum, as those people were unable to lie and such would end trusted by everyone.

-Completely failed to explain that he wasn't revived as a cultist, before self-destructing the second time. Town had misread one of the cult leader's flip and thought it had used it's ability to raise him as a cultist, when it had actually used a "life swap" power to revive him at the cost of my own life. And then he self-destructed out of nowhere, again.

In a game in which everyone was scum, he probably was the one who helped the "town" the most (despite of the lack of a town). You say that TricMagic can't be scum since his scum team wouldn't allow him to do that, but I would totally see him still do it, even with the whole mafia coaching him and telling him what to say or not.

Everything seems very obvious to me: Leafsnail and TricMagic must be both part of the scum team, and Leafsnail is currently trying to salvage the situation after TricMagic's slip.
On the one hand, I like this theory. On the other hand... why would Leafsnail bother salvaging this? Wouldn't it make more sense to bus Tric at this point?
I believe he might have thought he could make it pass as a simple typographical mistake, then after that didn't work he probably attempted to shift focus to the "Nirur Torir or RGU is lying" argument, then suggesting a no-lynch. While they all might be just small details, that and Leafsnail and TricMagic defending each other seem to hint towards both being part of the mafia.

Re-looking over one question..

Rgun, is this your ability?

Not that hard to create..

...Rgun, at this point, you are being very silly. Either that, or missing cues entirely.

I don't know if I'm allowed to, but my exact ability is: "Once per night you can learn the name of everyone who is not targeting you. Action: Investigate."

How is this any different from what I posted?

And I still await Leafsnail's answer too. Hiding something so useful at this point in the game isn't really advised.

I don't even know why do I bother if you don't even pay attention. And wouldn't that actually confirm that my ability is true instead?

First of all, my role is Undulating Ghoul: During the night, I'm able to inform two players about the action type of a dead player. I tried informing hector13 and IcyTea31 of Maximum Spin's action type. And it apparently didn't work since neither received the report.

It's an useless ability because it shows information that is already on flips whenever someone dies. I'm not able to change roles and my role didn't change, but I gained a somewhat less useless ability during the last night.
I think I said I had gained another ability after the first night, right? About that, it's one that allows me to see the names of everyone who didn't visit me during the night. At least it's more useful than the one I had before, which was completely useless.

Quote from: Everyone who didn't visit me:
IcyTea31
Leafsnail
TricMagic
KitRougard
SuperDorf
Shakerag
Deus Asmoth

Nirur Torir: Why did you visit me?
This was pointed at me, not Leafsnail.
I got the wrong name by accident, sorry. But my point still stands.

Also yes, I was hoping that you would explain about your ability. Paraphrasing the one I gained during the first night and used in the second: I can, once per night, learn the names of everyone who doesn't target me during that night. With the list of names I obtained, the only ones who were missing were me and Nirur Torir. If you had used a redirecg, I believe I would have obtained the list of everyone who didn't visit someone else, but then I would have seen your name as you would have visited me instead of the target I would have been redirected to.

What's the point you're trying to make?

Use the rest of the milk and finish summoning the rest of the Seven from hell, preferably before this part of the universe collapses or whatever happens when ancient eldritch goat demon gods gnaw on reality.

I've noticed that Leafsnail and TricMagic have insisted multiple times to make it look as if it was either me or Nirur Torir, like if they were trying to set us against each other and divert focus from themselves. I think it was clarified that if Nirur Torir was brainwashed, then neither would he lying in this case.

I don't know if I'm allowed to, but my exact ability is: "Once per night you can learn the name of everyone who is not targeting you. Action: Investigate." and, like I said, the only ones who did visit me were myself and Nirur Torir. If I had been redirected, I would probably have seen someone's else list, although I'm not entirelly sure. In the other way, if Niru Torir had used his vote gift ability, I would have 2 votes instead. I think it's safe to assume that there's at least someone with a brainwash power instead of a redirect power like I had assumed before.

I'm strongly against having a no lynch today, since TricMagic has been spewing scumtell after scumtell in these lasts posts while Leafsnail refuses to vote him and instead pushes for a no lynch to protect his scumbuddy. Everything seems very obvious to me: Leafsnail and TricMagic must be both part of the scum team, and Leafsnail is currently trying to salvage the situation after TricMagic's slip. Still, I agree that we still have some time left and we should use it to discuss instead of lynching and ending the day earlier.
