[ITEM] Light Ball

That actually says a lot.
This may be right or wrong, let me know:
I was under the assumption that the player who receives the light ball has all of the actions they did during the night they received the item instantly published.
Instead, the actions that occur during the night after you receive it appear.
That explains why we got:
"Someone swaps their soul with another Pokemon" in the day 4 update from SM, who currently held the light ball
"Someone foresees the future." in the day 5 update from quaking, who currently held the light ball
Now something is missing. What happened to the person who shines Pokemon in the spotlight every night? Where is their status message?

Yeah pretty much just skimming. Lul
I mean. I tried to scumhunt using the data i have.. Sure. I might have pulled wrong conclusions from what I got (we don't know that for sure yet btw) but I pretty much got from the data what i could.
If SM flips town we can always see who jumped on my train
.And for the Focus Sash. I had that before you. Passed it to you. And that Item only works when you would get NK'd or Lynched. Also you don't have a day to live but only till you get voted again. So the effect doesn't fit.
But you saying that i don't pay attention... <3
But that'd make absolutely no sense; he'd be taking out teammates if so! ._. Talk about being anti-town, that'd make it its raw definition.
FWIW, back when I played a lot more, it /was/ a heavily used role mechanic >.<
Also, the Day Update itself stated he was /wounded/, not poisoned or intoxicated, so...
Welp, I'm guessing whoever sent it to you, sent it to me afterwards.
I have a question... Is it possible that the Heart Swap ability could be originally given to a Mafia member? I don't see a reason to not beleive it, but if anyone is able to say otherwise, I'd like to hear it.
I had the focus sash last day, if you were wondering.
I'd like to believe it could go either way.
Heart swap has good utility to the Innocent team because it allows you to check the ability of one other member. It could also steal treacherous scummy abilities if they exist, disabling mafia members.
For mafia, a member is being put at a disadvantage because he does not start with an ability and cannot do scummy things from day 1. Moreso, they have to hunt down which person has a good ability before using it. I can see the need for mafia to coordinate and use this as their secret weapon, or steal an ability like Jlap's when it is publicly revealed to gain an edge.
However, it could also result in mafia members being stuck with an underpowered townie ability, especially an investigative one. It appears a bit risky to include on the mafia team.
Hey, I wonder. Does anyone else think that AP went kamikazee on the mafia team he just joined? Sorry if this has already been brought up
If he went all out triplemo, he risked being banned not just from the game, but the whole site.
Also, he switched votes midway from Goomy to Pikachuuu for pretty shallow reasoning. This is all hypothetical, but I'm growing more suspicious of pika
His attitude is kinda defeatist. It's like he got frustrated with his entire role and just ditched it all. He didn't even vote for Shaymin to protect himself...

Also, I've been wanting to ask this for a while...
@Tyler Beta, Did someone give you the Soul Dew on night 2?

No
Sorry I keep posting, but I also must put it out there
No one proved AP's original role to be Tropius at the beginning. In fact, the flavor text of the role suggests that he had the role of Dhelmise, a Pokemon yet to be found in the game. It is likely that triplemo originally had the Tropius role
If we were to go along with the flavor text, Dhelmise "Possessed" Tropius, and this role became AP's.
According to SM's theory, simsands investigated AP and "found out" that he was mafia. Given simsand's ability described by SM, this wouldn't make any sense if AP had the same active abilities since the beginning of the game. How does copying his active berry passing ability say that he's on mafia?
However, if simsands were to copy AP's ability and find out that it was identical to triplemo's, it would be definitive evidence to indicate that AP was the one who switched sides. All the pieces fall into place.
@GM DracLord, If I were to stick by my theory, the berry you received on night 1 was from triplemo, not AP.
Also, about my earlier theory, did anyone else receive a berry? AP should have given one away on night 2 if he was a fully enthusiastic mafia member.

Well there goes that lead.
I saw that your locked ability was "Soul Sight" (indicative of an investigative ability), and that after night 3 there was a huge amount of spotlights shone on players during night 3, so I was curious to see if you had anything to do with it. I thought that this event must be caused by an item or locked ability, as normal abilities would not extend to 6 messages at once.
Also, this explains why the Apicot berry was crossed out when we learned about AP's role, but bb was unable to explain why it was crossed out.
The role reveal is a copy-paste from the role he sends people. It would be a bit too helpful if bb told us exactly what berries were already used by the current player.
Rather, the berries that were left unstricken were the ones that AP was able to use when he got his new role.
Thanks! I have some clarifications about the questions:
Mirdo does the stats thing all the time. I've never seen it necessary, and I'm actually pretty sure I tried to have him lynched for it once, but I don't think it has any bearing on his alignment.
As for Samwise, that's... dumb. I do remember he was under fire during D1 for cracking under the pressure, but besides that I know nothing about how he plays. Why would that be a reason to clear him? Anyone else know any details relating to his clearing I'm unaware of?
Why do you think AP had Dhelmise and triplemo had Tropius, until triplemo's kamikaze instead of the other way around?
The fact that a line needed to be crossed out from AP's ability, suggesting that it was edited before he got it. Look at the other post I made.
Also, the flavor text
[QUOTE}You are Tropius, and you’re aligned with the Mischief Makers. Once the spirit of Dhelmise, you took possession of this weird banana-dragon thing part way through this crisis, aspiring to a more mischievous life. Now, you’re right sick and tired of all these good-for-nothing kids climbing all over you and eating your bananas. This isn't quite the new beginning that you had hoped for![/QUOTE]
There really isn't anything that implies it's one way over the other though. I'm thinking it's a scumslip, since only scum would know what role triplemo started with. ##Vote: Tapu Lele
