  • 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 victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    Jean's eyes lit up. A dark, brooding antihero! (Was... was that why his name was Anti?) Created by an evil scientist! He was like her mirror image, the one on the bad guy team that she'd fight before he defected from his evil masters in his admiration for her! ...Was he a bad guy? No, no way...

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[Don't get me wrong, I do almost definitely intend to vote for Altair unless I unearth some earth-shattering bombshell as I continue to go through the day's posts, but I don't believe I've actually done so yet?]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[OH, wait, an even number as in not odd, not the same number of vanilla townies and vanilla goons. Okay, got it, that makes a lot more sense.]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[...Huh, that's some interesting/unexpected information. Some of the possible mafia compositions we've been discussing would involve them only having one or two goons, but then we'd have too many vanilla claims by now, right? So either the mafia has more goons than that (and thus either six...

    [[Anyway I can finally go back now and reread this morning's posts properly while not groggy/trying to work, hang on]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[What Homestar's suspicion of Shiny Phantump is getting at is not that she edited something, but that in summarizing the roles she failed to mention something relevant (rolecop getting a vanilla result for serial killer) and added in information that wasn't known upfront (all the vanillas...

    [[To be fair, Steven, who many of us believe was some form of cop, did just get killed. (By Altair according to his own account, granted, but suppose the mafia gambled on the serial killer going for him...?) Not at all sure I believe that's what happened, but it was one of my kneejerk what-if...

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[Yeah, this was a thing that stuck out to me this morning that I wanted to take a better look at on a reread... though I'm hesitant to consider it conclusive, since it depends on the GM how cop results work, and whether it's just innocent/scum, mafia/not mafia or full-on alignment.]]

    [[Uhhhhh what? No? Namo said it's random? Two deaths would be entirely broken and give the power vastly more power.]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[just chiming in to say yes, absolutely let’s not kill the claimed cop without extremely solid evidence that it’s a fake claim]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[Yeah. I’m a little surprised Namo put that in this vanilla/beginner-friendly game, when there’s zero mention of it in the role descriptions or on the wiki! The only way for a beginner to be aware it’s a thing that exists was by hearing it from people who were in the previous game or on TCoD...

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[This strikes me as pretty weak? Namo wasn’t running the last game, so it’s not him using the same trick twice. He also expressly went for a more vanilla game here rather than trying to come up with some new setup full of new hijinks - it doesn’t really strike me as excessively unlikely he’d do...

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[Other barest thoughts: Homestar’s gambit with asking to be targeted by the serial killer relies on the notion that the people who suspect him will simply accept it if he claims his bulletproof was popped tomorrow, which seems a stretch; I am going to have to think through the Inkedust and...

    [[Doctors don’t know if their target was actually targeted, Equi isn’t claiming you were attacked (unless I missed that on my skim of his post)]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    [[stop breaking my heart that's not allowed]] Hazel seemed distant, quiet, restless. Not like she'd been yesterday. Jean watched her anxiously from Ebony's side, initially wrestling with her desire to keep warm and comfy with the Fire-type - but then moved over to throw her arms around Hazel's...

    [[I need to go to bed, and will do some rereading and retrospectiveing tomorrow (didn't have much mafia time today at all), but this definitely strikes me as an interesting point. Still need to go back and reread to be sure what I think.]]

    [Town victory] Vanilla Mafia!

    Jean shivered. It wasn't fair that she couldn't just make internal fire like a real Vulpix, and instead just had to feel extra miserable in the cold. She leaned against Ebony's warm Houndoom body and wrapped her arms around her. Ebony was good, and the people who were suspicious of her didn't...
