Of course I did. Finding out what dangers were on R34 decided which Pokemon would be trained.

Yeah, I don't think that's a very effective strategy in order to actually investigate.

Hard to want to follow it when you're screaming scum to me right now, honestly. Can you blame me?

Yes, did you help Town out in any way with your actions on that first day?

Also @Shade939, apologies for being mean. Your word choices today have been super weird and it's been getting on my nerves is all.

I'm fairly certain we end up annoying each other in every game we're in regardless of alignments.

Although it certainly doesn't help when you ignore my advice, and end up doing exactly what I was afraid was going to happen.

I take it the poison effect could kill a weak pokemon?

Here's my proposal. I can take on psyduck. Barring a crit by hydro pump I should survive (speed advantage and 100% hit moves. I don't know if Orange controls the trainer directly or he lets RNG decide, but I should survive (barely).

This lets us investigate route 34 and figure out if me investigating does anything. I have a heal item from night 1 (expecting to heal skarmory), and a full heal from the fight itself.

We don't' need you to investigate route 34.

It's just slightly safer, since we know you might face a Psyduck as opposed to anything else in game.

Also, the poisoning was buffed several times, until it eventually killed any Pokemon we had previously scouted.

I thought there were a couple of pokemon that were KO'ed in the night.

One of sunflowers Pokemon was badly poisoned right before the game ended.

So the only thing to worry about for me are crits and possible night attacks.

How did night attacks work in pokemafia 1 Jeod?

There wasn't any form of night attacks that were really used in that game.

Technically I'm getting 46.08.

I'm also getting 46 from the damage calculator (ignoring type weakness).

Odd, redid my calculation and it's the same. Go with 46.

Yep, I rounded up from 46.5.

[[Game Over - Town Victory] Pokemafia 2]

Damage = ((((((2*30)/5) +2) * 120* 53/62) / 50) + 2

I'm getting 47 damage.

Funny that, Shade telling someone else they are making too many assumptions. 

Does it make it worse or better.

Sounds to me like you want the investigation to fail, based on your posts today. You're being muted.

What did you do day one again?

[[Game Over - Town Victory] Pokemafia 2]

Just now, Jeod said:

He doesn't have the type advantage for Psyduck, so it's riskier to send him to R34. Not an option, I'm afraid, and I'll be loud about it.

You're making too many assumptions about R34 based on a single point of data. It could easily be mistaken.

Also, you don't need a type advantage to beat a Psyduck.

[[Game Over - Town Victory] Pokemafia 2]

Just now, Retaliation said:

Yep!

Good enough for me. I assume you don't really object to the current route?

Yes.

You're convinced this isn't a trap to make you take a risk today?

To get the benefit in Pokemon you need to go out and do things. The closest equivalent here is investigations.

You have a level 30 pokemon today?

It's very hard to reassure everyone when it's very easy to figure out what it is if I go into any detail. 

Then don't, we're not the ones who would take a risk in using it.

I do think we need to do Route 34 first. We need to find out if the combatant changes.

Also if someone did something that would help you on investigations, that person isn't doing anything to signal that.

Yep, it's advisable to consider that Rocket actions could look like beneficial actions also, until you have to actually test them out.

It was a surprise and I didn't make the potential connection between investigations and it until the last hour or so.

Because of what it is. I'd rather not reveal the existence of a role unilaterally.

 

To be fair, it really doesn't matter to me what the ability is, but you are contradicting yourself in describing it. If it has a listed effect you know about, then I'd doubt it'd have any other positive effect besides the ones you already know?

[[Game Over - Town Victory] Pokemafia 2]

Just now, Retaliation said:

It is not an item.

Yep, now I'm having difficulty imaging what sort of ability you could have been targeted with.

That's a bit different then if you got an item, vs. just having someone visit you in the night.

I actually assumed you (or cat5 I can't remember) had also had the same visitor, but apparently not...

So I want to challenge route 30 today in order to test if I get a benefit for investigating and if the pokemon levels during investigations scale based on how early they're encountered in the game (so 30 would start at level 20 and radio tower would be level 50).

I'll point out, but I think Rocket also has actions in this game, so why are you assuming it would be a benefit?

And I also said earlier that I'm not developing a counter either. So it just puts you in the same box as me.

Not really though, if we were in the same box then you'd be willing to investigate today.

So you think the psyduck is important?

Only if I'm Jeod.

Countering the Psyduck -> Investigation -> Closer to finding Rocket scum

What sort of backwards logic are you running on?

Beating a Psyduck > Everything else in game

Just now, Category 5 Hurricane said:

WTF AUM? Are we not sending someone who has high confidence to take out the Psyduck? 

I'm not the one going on about how it's unusual that I'm not focused on creating a counter to it...
