RE: Werewolf XXV: Party in Kanto! - Day 6, Prof. Oaks joins us for cake!
LOL, PMJ. The fact that you're trying to get me lynched even though I'm literally confirmed to be Clair is proof enough that you're scum. Regardless, what could I possibly have to gain from lying about that? GG, town wins if Drac votes for you.
I made a mistake with my vote earlier. Normally, I get to invite people to a tea party (hence why TT said something along the lines of pushing my right wing agenda, a reference to the Tea Party) and if I vote for the same person as one of them, I get a vote weight of 2. The problem is that I was powered up by Drac and I remembered that my vote was increased to 3, I just forgot that that was only if I voted for the same person as someone I invited to the tea party, in this case PMJ and SF. I actually have a vote count of 2 because of the power up, but the day requires 4 votes to end. I was sleepy at the time, evidenced by the fact that I mentioned sleep twice in that post. Still confo-town and have no reason to lie.

It says that I killed him because I was angry that Brock wouldn't admit the awesomeness of dragon types. This is clearly about Clair and has nothing to do with any Team Rocket members. Try harder or give up lol. You're embarrassing yourself.
RE: Werewolf XXV: Party in Kanto! - Day 6, Prof. Oaks joins us for cake!
Things were heating up among the 4 remaining party guests. Iris was dead certain that Clair was the last Team Rocket member in disguise, but Clair, Bugsy, and Diantha all agreed that Iris was actually the one who needed to go. Iris thew a temper-tantrum and began a tirade, but her wig fell off, showing off her bright yellow pigtails. "Ooooh, that's it, I'm outta here!" Cassidy yelled. "But don't think this is the end of Team Rocket! We'll be back!" She stormed off, grabbing a final piece of cake on the way.
PMJ was lynched! He was Cassidy disguised as Iris, the final scum member of the Team Rocket faction.

You’re a master of disguise, so sneaking into the party is a piece of cake. Good luck!

You have the following abilities:
Jessie & James’ Meowth (active): With so many loose Pokémon out and about at the party, it was easy for you to find a way to sneak Meowth in. Each Night, you can command Meowth to investigate a player of your choice. Meowth will chat with that person’s Pokémon and you will learn what their Pokémon-related role is. You will not gain information about non-Pokémon roles, if any. However, Meowth can only be in one place at a time; you and James may not both use this role on the same night.
Double Trouble (passive): If you and James both vote for the same target during the Day phase, your combined votes will have a weight of 3 instead of 2. This effect is only active so long as you both remain voting for the same player; if either of you switches, your vote weight immediately goes back to normal.
Cross-Dressing Tendencies (passive): When splitting up cover roles during N0, you may not choose a female cover role.
In addition to the above roles, the scum team as a whole has some additional mechanics that they may make use of throughout the game, including cover roles that must be decided upon during Night 0. Details on these mechanics can be found here.

Brave Vesperia:
You are Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket and a member of the scum faction.

You have the following ability:
Giovanni’s Persian (day active): Each Day, you may send your Persian to visit a player of your choice with a little gift. The player can choose to accept the gift with the condition that they must voluntarily not use any active abilities the following night, or they can choose to decline. If they decline, a secret extra vote will be placed against them for the remainder of the Day. If they accept, they will receive one of the following items to use on a later night:
Bulbasaur Doll: What a cute Bulbasaur doll; it even has a sweet, pleasant scent! At Night, you may give this item to a player of your choice as a Free Action, and the calming scent will soothe them, giving a passive -1 vote against them the following Day.
Charmander Doll: What a delightful Charmander doll; it even shoots out real mini flames, look out! At Night, you may give this item to a player of your choice as a Free Action, and the mini flames will catch on their hair and clothes, forcing them to permanently leave the party to go clean themselves up.
Squirtle Doll: What a sweet Squirtle doll; it even comes with a cute little pair of sunglasses! At Night, you may give this item to a player of your choice as a Free Action, and the sight of the bold little Squirtle will fill them with courage for their convictions, making their vote worth 2 the following Day.
Pikachu Doll: What an adorable Pikachu doll; it even shoots out real sparks! At Night, you may give this item to another player of your choice as a Free Action, and the sparks will shock them, causing them to forget what they were doing and not perform any actions that Night.
You may choose which item to offer as your bribe/gift, or you can let it be chosen randomly. You may not offer more than one gift to the same player, nor are you allowed to give any gifts to your fellow scum team members; after all, you want them to stay working! If the player you target does not have any active Night abilities, they can still accept the gift, it just comes at no cost to them since they wouldn’t have been able to act anyway.
In addition to the above role, the scum team as a whole has some additional mechanics that they may make use of throughout the game, including cover roles that must be decided upon during Night 0. Details on these mechanics can be found here.

At night, you may have Raichu shock a player of your choice, calling attention to their actions during the Night phase and also specifically highlighting their name in the plot. However, once you do this, your Raichu will need time to build his electric energy back up and you will have to wait through 2 more Night phases before you will be able to use this ability again.
Machamp the Champion:
You are Janine, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Kanto that specializes in Poison-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.

If you are ever to be lynched at the end of a Day phase, your Crobat will fly to your rescue and help you escape so you will not be lynched. If the player in 2nd place has 3 or more votes on them, they will be lynched your place; if no players aside from you have 3 or more votes, there will instead be no lynch that Day.
Lenny:
You are Sabrina, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Kanto that specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Sabrina’s Alakazam (day active): During the Day phase, your Alakazam can mentally communicate with those who have left the party and learn more information about them, letting you learn the full information of their role above and beyond the information provided by their flip. Its abilities are limited, though; you may only use this ability 5 times during the game before it gets a migraine and has to relax for the rest of the party.
Psychic Mind Meld (active): It’s not just your Pokémon that are powerful psychics; you also have psychic powers of your own that you can use at will.

You are Whitney, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Johto that specializes in Normal-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following ability:
Whitney’s Clefairy (active): Your Clefairy’s Metronome is its most mysterious and powerful move, and of course the most fun! Each Night, you may choose to use your Clefairy. When you do so, you must give me 2 potential targets. Your Clefairy will duplicate a Pokémon-related ability chosen randomly from the list of all Pokémon still present at the party and perform the action automatically. If the ability duplicated requires one target, your first target will be chosen; if it requires 2 targets, both will be used. This ability can duplicate limited-use and passive moves, but will be subject to any restrictions that the original player has (for example, if Metronome duplicates a one-use power, but then randomly chooses that same Pokémon again on a later night, the ability will fail). This ability will do nothing if the power that is duplicated is a Day ability, and the ability will not duplicate any non-Pokémon abilities.
Teal:

Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.

Squirtle Squad:
You are Jasmine, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Johto that specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following ability:
Jasmine’s Steelix (active): Your Steelix is one of the most powerful Pokémon that you know, and when it wraps someone up in its massive tail, there’s no escape.

Wailord_2/My Little Keldeo:
You are Pryce, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Johto that specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.

Each night, you may send your Piloswine off to visit a player of your choice. You will learn what Pokémon they have, and also if they do or do not have any non-Pokémon-related abilities as well.
Thick Skin (active): You’ve survived more harshness than anyone else at this party, and it’s made you particularly resilient to troubles both physical and emotional. At night, you can choose to help a player of your choice, and if that person is kicked out of the party for any reason during that Night, you’ll save them and make sure they stay at the party. You may only use this ability 3 times during the game, and a charge is consumed after each use, whether you successfully saved someone from being kicked out or not. You may not use this ability on yourself, and you may not use it on the same person more than once.
Cinesra:
You are Clair, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a Gym Leader from Johto that specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Claire’s Dragonair (active): Your Dragonair prefers smaller gatherings to large groups, and you’re willing to oblige its wishes, so you set up a small tea party in a back corner of Oak’s lab where you and just a few guests can chat comfortably. Each Night, you may choose two players that you can invite to a private QT where the three of you can chat during the day. Sure, there’s no guarantee that they’ll trust anything you say (nor any guarantee to you that they’re not team Rocket members in disguise!), but you enjoy a little bit of chatting and gossip just the same. Each day’s tea party will be a new QT so that only the current members have access; you will receive the newest QT link at the start of each day, just like your chosen guests. You may choose to use this power on Night 0 so that you have a chat going during D1.
Did you hear what she said about him?! (day passive): During the Day phase, If you and one of your fellow QTers vote for the same player, your vote weight will be worth 2 instead of 1. This effect is only active so long as you both remain voting for the same player; if either of you switches, your vote weight immediately goes back to normal.
Dragons rule, all other Pokémon types drool (day active): Dragons are pretty clearly the best type of Pokémon, and you defy anyone else to say otherwise. Once per game, you may forcefully remove a non-Dragon-type trainer from the party during the Day phase by typing ##SILENCE: playername into the game thread. If that player’s Pokémon is not a Dragon-type Pokémon, they will be kicked out of the party, but if their Pokémon is a Dragon, they will be allowed to stay.

Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following ability:
Koga’s Forretress (day/night passive): Why does a Poison-type trainer keep a Forretress around him? As an extra layer of protection and revenge against his enemies, of course! If you are removed from the party for any reason, Day or Night, your Forretress will use Explosion to take someone else out of the party with you. If you are lynched, it will explode one of your voters chosen at random; if you are kicked out during the Night phase, it will explode the kicker.
Mr.Muffin:
You are Bruno, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a member of the Elite Four of the Indigo League that specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following ability:
Bruno’s Machamp (active): Most people don’t know this, but your Machamp works as a bouncer part-time to earn a little bit of extra money on the side. As a result, it knows a lot about kicking people out of places. Each night, if you wish, you may have Machamp kick out a player of your choice, permanently removing them from the party.
Celever:
You are Karen, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are a member of the Elite Four of the Indigo League that specializes in Dark-type Pokémon.

You are Lance, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are the Champion of the Indigo League and you specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Lance’s Dragonite (day active): Your Dragonite is great at carrying messages back and forth; he’s like your own personal mailman! Each Day, you may send an anonymous message to a player of your choice. Send the body of the message as a PM to the host (that’s me!) along with the name of the player you’d like to send it to, and it will be passed forward.
Leader of the Indigo League (day active): As the current Champion of the Indigo League, you’re basically the leader of the group at this party, and you feel very responsible for everyone’s safety and well-being. As such, you sometimes chafe at the long, drawn-out democratic voting process; after all, you should know best! Once per game, you may choose to override the majority needed and automatically lynch a player of your choosing by typing ##AUTOLYNCH: player in-thread. However, you may not simply choose to lynch anyone you want; that would be an abuse of authority. The person that you auto-lynch must have already received at least vote from someone aside from you during that same Day phase.
Keeper of Night:
You are Steven, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are the Champion of the Hoenn League and you specialize in Steel-type Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Steven’s Metagross (active): Your Metagross has a strong sense of justice and trusts you to guide its hand. Each Night, you may choose to have Metagross bodyguard a player of your choice and they will be protected from any actions that would otherwise force them to leave the party. However, if your Metagross does successfully protect someone, he will be injured and you will have to leave the party yourself to take him to go get treatment.
Bonds of Trust (passive): Your friend Cynthia was actually visiting you in Hoenn when you both received invitations for the party, so you decided to travel together. As such, you know that she is the real Cynthia and not a Team Rocket imposter, and you trust her implicitly. For example, you know that if you decide to break the 4th wall, you’ll discover that the player bbninjas has the role of Cynthia, and both of you are welcome to chat as much as you like in this QT.
bbninjas:
You are Cynthia, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are the Champion of the Hoenn League and you don’t specialize in a particular type of Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Cynthia’s Gastrodon (passive): Your Gastrodon has a tendency to leave a sticky, slimy trail wherever it goes. If someone acts on you during the Night, they’ll become covered in Gastrodon’s slime. It won’t stop them from acting on you, but it will slow them down and force them to clean themselves off so they won’t be able to act the following Night.
Bonds of Trust (passive): You were actually visiting your friend Steven in Hoenn when you both received invitations for the party, so you decided to travel together. As such, you know that he is the real Steven and not a Team Rocket imposter, and you trust him implicitly. For example, you know that if you decide to break the 4th wall, you’ll discover that the player Keeper of Night has the role of Steven, and both of you are welcome to chat as much as you like in this QT.
The Guy/GM DracLord:
You are Diantha, an innocent and a member of the Indigo League faction. You are the Champion of the Kalos League and you don’t specialize in a particular type of Pokémon.
Win Condition: All members of Team Rocket (the scum faction) must be removed from the game, along with any other anti-town factions.
You have the following abilities:
Diantha’s Gardevoir (active): Your Gardevoir is very personable and it loves Mega-evolving and showing off its beauty to other trainers, especially here in Kanto where they don’t have Mega evolution! Each Night, your Gardevoir can Mega evolve and show off to a player of your choice, inspiring them to do their best. One of their abilities will be boosted for the next Day/Night phase in some fashion. If the player has multiple abilities, this will only affect one of them.
Star of Kalos (active): You’re somewhat afraid that the party will be boring (after all, it’s in some middle-of-nowhere town in Kanto), but being a star entertainer, you know how to fix that, and you brought the things you need to put on a great performance with your Pokémon. Once during the game, you may choose to get on stage and perform for all of the players. Doing so will cause all of them to act on you instead of their intended targets for the night, but will override any actions that might cause you to stop performing. You will also be protected from anyone trying to kick you out of the party, since no one in their right mind would do anything to harm you when everyone is staring at you!
I would like to start off by thanking all of your for playing and accepting me as a host here. Although it was frustrating at times, I do overall enjoying designing and hosting games, and I hope to do so again here in the future, though it will likely be a while before I decide to run a serious game again here, for reasons I will delve into further down in this post.
I would really like to get people's thoughts and opinions on my job as a host and how well this game worked for our players here. This being my first serious game here, the feedback would be valuable to me, to help me craft games suited to our particular players and meta in the future.
My own vision as a host in this particular game was to kind of throw a lot in at once and see what stuck. I actually slimmed down a lot of the alternate mechanics I was thinking of including (more in-thread actions, locations), but there's always next time for that. Chocolate (or Role Madness, if you prefer) mafia games tend to strongly favour the innocents, so I gave the mafia some extra powers and a lot of confusion tactics to try and minimize the information flow the innos could build up. While none of the roles in this game were specifically negative, there were obviously some roles that were better or worse than others. If you would like my specific thoughts or opinions on any particular role, feel free to ask.
While the game started out strong, I was particularly disappointed in the lack of rule comprehension and the problems with inactivity. Neither of these things have ever been an issue for me as a host before, so it was all the more depressing and frustrating for me as a host, especially when people in the Dead Chat openly admitted that both of those issues are very common among games here. If you're going to sign up to play a game, the very least things you should do are read the rules and actually participate in the game. If you can no longer participate for some reason, you should request a replacement. Although people in the Dead Chat assured me that these are player/community issues and not a problem with my game or with me as a host, if there are things you think I improve upon to mitigate this problem for future games, I would be happy to take your suggestions.
In any event, I hope you enjoyed the game. Feel free to ask me any questions you like or offer feedback.
The limited information available on flip was kind of a fluke. The varying roles in the games would have made it difficult for me to post role information on flip in my usual manner, so rather than trying to find a new way to go about it, I decided to just reveal affiliation on flip and allow there to be roles that could get full role information. Lenny was obviously the main role related to this, though he didn't share a lot of the information he learned publicly. There were also other ways to learn full role information, such as an item of Misty's (one that SF never actually rolled before he died) and various boosts from Diantha could also give the players a chance to learn more role information about others.
Speaking of Misty and Diantha, their various items or effects aren't listed in their role dump info. Misty's possible items were: tracker, watcher, dead role learner, blocker, vig shot. Diantha's boosts were specific for each person. For those with limited abilities, she often gave them extra uses of those abilities, like how she gave Sabrina an extra seer scan. Any scum that were boosted (which happened to PMJ once) would also give them the ability to get a full role reveal of their NK target in addition to other boosts.
Please excuse me while I go and shout- I mean - ask IE politely to get his WW game running. I'm slightly short-tempered after discovering I missed out on the cake.
Thanks for a good game, for the time that I was able to participate I admit, I was pretty busy so I couldn't post too much in the first place, and unfortunately that made me look really suspicious :/
Anyway, it was a good game and I found the setup really interesting; so definitely an awesome experience ^v^
I really like the roles you make up! They come across as highly creative and different to what I've seen around PB, besides the typical watchers. There was a few nice roles that I haven't seen implemented in a WW game before (i.e. fisherman) that were nice touches. I really look forward to future WW game hosted by you that don't involve me getting autolynched Day 1 D:<
