Also on the topic of pokemon in general, I just want to share a new card from the card game that is perhaps the best card ever. Magikarp best ever.

Reminder: You guys have roughly 5 1/2 hours to change your primary from the first pokemon on your list for free, if you have not done so already.

Understandable, but even for that reason unfortunately. A record of everyone's original statement has to be maintained, or else a sneaky person could quickly erase their slips if they're mafia.

Also FYI you're not allowed to edit posts.

This is basically one way to think about it, if what I say sounds too mechanical.

It would send Jeod. Only one person can investigate at a time. If you personally want to go, you'd have to be nominated instead of Jeod.

Because of last game, every time I think about Pinsir now I think of Shade...

Just a reminder because I noticed it was missing from the first post, this is the calculator I'm using for the stats - http://www.psypokes.com/gsc/dv.php Leave stat exp to none, and use the highest figure of the range it generates for each stat.

Doesn't appear to work in Open Office, but I'll mess with it a bit to see if I can fix it.

While I'm mostly just being snarky, I do feel the need to remind you Soul Silver had the physical/special split, but pure gen 2 did not. This game will follow the gen 2 rules (and I better find the type chart I left lying around here somewhere).

Soul Silver is gen 4

@TheIrishman @Category 5 Hurricane @Sunflower @Jeod @Retaliation @Shade939 @Brigitte The game now officially starts!

Day 1 Start Most of you were in Goldenrod when the news came down, Team Rocket is once again up to no good! They're planning on rigging the bug catching contest at the National Park, in order to corner the market on Sun Stones! This cannot be allowed to happen! Fortunately, Goldenrod was hosting a Gym Leader's conference, meaning a host of powerful figures and their entourage are in town to help. It is suspected that Team Rocket is hiding among the crowd of people purporting to help, they're tricky like that, and you must investigate and battle yourselves to help put an end to this crisis. You've also received word that there might be clues as to the guilty party's identity in four locations nearby, which you might also want to investigate. For TOWN to win the game, Team Rocket (MAFIA) must be eliminated from the game. For Team Rocket (MAFIA) to win the game, TOWN must be fully eliminated from the game. Each day you may ##nominate someone to be a trainer, and ##rocket someone they face. You alternatively may ##rocket a location, sending the ##trainer to investigate that location. Some days will be double battles. On these days, the top 2 trainers and top 2 rockets will face off in a 2 v 2 battle. On double battle days, you may not investigate a location. Today is a SINGLE BATTLE. CVC No votes for trainer. No votes for rocket Valid investigation zones: Goldenrod Radio Tower, Goldenrod Gym, Route 30, Route 34 Current Active players 1. TheIrishman - No votes 2. Jeod - No votes 3. Retaliation - No votes 4. Shade939 - No votes 5. Sunflower - No votes 6. Brigitte - No votes 7. Cat 5 - No votes IMPORTANT: Your first listed pokemon in your PM is assumed to be your active/primary pokemon. You may PM a change this selection for free during D1 until 6 pm EST/11 pm GMT Tuesday (first half of D1) by PMing me. This is to compensate for only now discovering your movesets. You may only take advantage of this offer ONCE. Hammer is 6 pm EST/11 pm GMT Wednesday.

Here in a bit I'm going to do my morning exercise, then eat lunch, THEN I'll send out PMs and start the game. Expect the game to start around 1:30 EST. Hammer will be the usual time still, 6 PM EST/11 PM GMT on Wednesday.

Added "other battle rules" which will contain all the idiosyncrasies unique to this pokemafia game, such as move changes etc. This section might change while play is in progress, and if you spot something that might be a problem, please bring it up.

Added a rule to the first post that players are eliminated when 3 of their 6 pokemon faint. This is just like last time, but I'd forgotten to say it.

It comes down to the time issue really. I want this game to be very flexible with when people have to be on, and I value that principle more than wanting to add a challenge in. Give people often vote a few hours before hammer and then leave (which is fine), it's really hard to put a safeguard in. I could say something like "Challenges must occur in the first 24 hours of a day phase", but I don't want to limit it either. The original purpose of having challenges (other than a direct option being nice) was to provide an alternative to voting for a PvP matchup. Investigations now serve that purpose.

Eh, I suppose that's a good point. I'll just go ahead and remove that option here in a minute. The location investigations will serve the purpose of offering an alternative just fine I guess.

That can still be vetoed though. And even if say a few people want one specific PVP and another few people want an investigation, some rando comes in with a direct challenge they could unite to veto it. If a lot of people have a problem with it I can remove direct challenges though. I know you've expressed concerns about it before, but I'd like to hear from more than just you.
