  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[It’s pretty clearly not a GM mechanic; Namo explicitly talked about “the player in question” or whatever it was.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[If the stringer strings by guessing someone’s role, it would certainly make sense that fakeclaims wouldn’t get strung. Hard to know for sure, though.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Well, nothing about them quite seems similar to me, save seeming third party and I guess being implied to be active during the day. The beast is apparently flavored as a beast; the strings are flavored around a puppetmaster. Those seem like pretty different concepts. And the beast is...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[The string messages specifically imply the puppetmaster will win. I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean game-ending technically, but we should definitely be stopping it from happening, I expect?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[I kind of doubt the stringer is mafia? It seems a super third party kind of thing - generally the mafia wins by eliminating town in the night, not by just doing something else altogether. And a third-party stringer wouldn’t even know if the people they’re stringing are town, scum or third party.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Technically I believe the rules post only rules out roles that end the game when they’re eliminated.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[The Dread status effect is called Dread, not Void Shadow, like anyone who’s received Dread should be able to confirm. We also explicitly have another claim that specifically cures Dread. Really don’t think they’re the same thing.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Ahh, right, forgot about the bulletproof aspect. I guess that does make sense, then. Ignore that particular contemplation.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Abra is just expressing surprise at the notion there’s a pair of lovers in play and they aren’t Latias/Latios.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[I mean, technically Latios/Latias are siblings, so it’d be kind of awkward to make them lovers (but, to be fair, flavor could be different while still essentially being the lovers role). What makes me curious about Persephone’s lovers claim is that apparently the one-shot ability involves...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Mmmm, I don’t think we can assume Latias was cop on the basis of being paired with the tracker - those may be commonly targeted roles, but they aren’t counterparts. Maybe Equitial was watcher?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Think I believe Tetra’s claim; it felt organic based on what she said previously and also I feel like if mafia she wouldn’t claim that she just sort of accidentally bungled two of her three attempts to use her role where she’d be perfectly able to make up something that’d be inherently...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Also: I’m pretty sure what Namo’s message implies with how the stringer could win “at nightfall” is that they could win when the night starts, not during the night. I expect the modification to the rules is basically that the stringer can’t just wait to string people until two minutes before...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[As I understand it nobody got strings D2. Today is D4. Discussed this with Pano before; if it followed the day numbers, getting blocked once probably shouldn’t affect subsequent numbers.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Seren’s diamond supposedly cures a specific status with a specific name. It was Bluwii who claimed to have the power to prevent “marks”. I’m not sure the word “mark” has been mentioned in anyone’s actual role.]]

    [[uhh so this isn’t standard lovers where if one of you dies the other does too?]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Welll, this doesn’t really sound like the beast “becoming active” today, does it - it’s just continuing to string more people, in the same way as before. I’m also highly skeptical that being blocked once would mean the number of things you can do is reduced for all subsequent nights - one...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Got a message about the strings tightening, too. Pano never said the patron name, right? Just roleclaimed? Clearly multiple people can be strung per day, so no way can they do it indiscriminately, which’d just mean they autowin if the survive until tonight - there’s got to be something that...

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[If you’re indifferent to being killed and voluntarily roleclaimed, could you at least explain what else your role does? Unless I missed you talking about the rest of your card, bulletproof only constitutes the passive part of a card with three different powers on it.]]

    [TOWN WIN] Darkwhite's Role Overdrive Mafia

    [[Me: "okay let's just briefly look at mafia, surely not that much has happened" Me: [Troy pizza gif] uhhhh I want to take another squint at whether it would make any sense for Pano to legitimately be third-party, I don't think a third-party bus driver is impossible, but there being a scum bus...
