Everything was once peaceful in the wilds of Kanto. Pokemon lived with other Pokemon in a glorious state of Nirvana. Of course this bliss could not last forever. One day a random human came marching through. After beating on a defenseless Pidgey for a while, they stuffed it in a tiny ball and took it home. “Wow!” thought his friends, “How fun is that?!” A nearby Rattata heard this and sensed the impending doom. It ran out to the woods to warn the other Pokemon.
They couldn't stop the onslaught of greedy kids. The term “Gotta catch 'em all” haunted their dreams. A Pokemon's purpose was now to fight with other Pokemon. The humans had opened Pandora's Box. Something snapped inside many of the creatures. Some craved power. Others craved intelligence. Some craved the happiness they once had.
Two opposing groups intended to use fear to achieve their goals. Pokemon were either with them or against them. If they were against them, they were as good as dead in their minds.
The leader of one group pictured himself snapping the necks of anyone who got in his way. He called his crew “Snap.”
The other group couldn't think of a good name. The leader thought, “Wouldn't it be cool if we just stuck two random letters together?” From that point on, they were known as “XD”.
A third group of Pokemon were sick of what their nice little community had become. They felt that all Pokemon, including themselves, should be dead. Their power was too great. The problem is, this particular group of Pokemon weren't really good at anything. Even suicide missions were often a bit too tough and ended up in failure. Oh sure, their target would die, but they, themselves would often walk away unscathed. Looking at how much they sucked at what they did, the only name that came to their head was “Dash.”
The rest of the Pokemon just wanted all this internal violence to end. They put forth a system of voting that would eliminate a bad monster every night. The problem is, the bad monsters got to vote too and none of the Pokemon were willing to trust each other, so they didn't even know who their comrades were.
Hard rules.
Snap – Every third night is an action night starting with the first night.
XD – Every third night is an action night starting with the second night.
Dash – Every third night is an action night starting with the third night.
If any of these teams are eliminated their action nights remain the same. Therefore it is in the townies best interests to get rid of an entire team as fast as possible.
There are many special roles in this game. They are being intentionally withheld to hopefully make things more interesting.
Nothing in this game is a sure thing. Every possible action has probabilities associated with it. You will have to trust me to treat these probabilities with respect and I will never reveal the hard numbers.
Some minor exceptions to this rule.
Dash will (almost) always have a successful kill if they order it. The probability comes in when seeing whether or not they are fully 'successful' and die along with their target. They are really bad at what they do.
If a member of Dash is killed in any way, the player who kills them will (almost) ALWAYS die. After a vote, one player will be selected at random to carry out the kill FROM ALL OF THE PLAYERS! Even if you don't vote for the person who ends up with the most votes, you may still be chosen to carry out the kill.
Victory Conditions:
Member of Snap: At the end of the game only Snap members remain. Even if you died during the game, you will still be declared a winner if this holds true.
Member of XD: Same as Snap only with XD members.
Member of Dash: Everyone must die. If only Dash members remain you will hold a glorious suicide ritual and each member of Dash, even the dead, will be declared winners.
Townies: You must survive the entire game to the point where no Snap, XD, or Dash members are left. If you die, you can not be declared a winner.
You cannot willfully jump sides like I attempted in Mafia V. This will not be tolerated.
To sign up, post in this thread with the Pokemon you want to play as. First come first serve (I'm using Mewtwo). Once you sign up, I will PM you with an Avatar that you have to use for the duration of the game.
I want to hit at least 25 players for this game. Please help me get there. 
Current start date is set for July 17th and we will not play on the weekends. The start date is debatable, so if you have a good reason for needing it moved, PM me.
Also, even though I'm a mod, I can't figure out how to pin/unpin topics to the top. If you are a mod and you can do it, either pm how or do it for me if you wouldn't mind.

Frankly, I'm always a fan of themed mafia games. Unfortunately, I've never played a Pokemon game so because of this lack of orginality, I'll take Pikachu. Yes, Pikachi, I choose you.
And if Pikachu can't be played, I'll take Psyduck.
And if you're looking for Pokemon, check out the Pokemon rap in the youtube thread.
I'm just not sure if I'm going to change my avatar.
Post by: decoyman on July 05, 2006, 08:17:12 PM
I'm in. And I'm Goldeen, or whatever that fish pokemon in SSBM that just flops around and does nothing is called.
However, this is not to be representative of how I will play. I intend to be an active, voteful, productive member of the game, even if it is my first Mafia ever

EDIT: Question, does who we pick actually affect our player role, or is it just meant to give some personality to the game?

I have it saved as an Expression file so when I want to make a new avatar I open this up and put a layer on top and do whatever I want to do. Knowing that I'm 100x100.

Yes and no Stevey.
Hmm, how can I word this. You'll find out in the same way you would (or wouldn't) if the situation were real.
Roles will kind of be revealed on death. If everything goes according to plan, figuring out the game should be just as much fun as figuring out who is who.
Also, Pryo and BlackNMild need to pick pokemon.
And i'll get everyone avatars who don't have one yet on Monday. They main point of the pokemon is just for the sake of interesting stories on deaths. If you really don't care about that part of the game, that's fine, but you could still humor us by choosing one.

So, if I get a role like a suicide bomber or something, Do I just get to roll over onto everyone who votes for me?

The one thing I will say, so that anyone who gets townies doesn't freak out that it is unfair...
I've created a very special role for the townies... he is a serious helper to their cause as long as he maximizes his potential.

In short: I rule.
although i'm pretty sure Mew and Mewtwo would still kick my a$$ so I rule like 3rd or 4th.
When does the game start btw?
