I have a garbage power and I don't see it getting better if I can evolve.

Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver were the last good Pokemon games.

There are some types I'm weak against.

I just googled Sableye and found out he's now weak to fairy type. What is this bullshit?

hi listen to me both town and scum and 3P

I am here to give presents to everyone. That's it. I don't gain xp, I don't evolve, I don't do anything weird. I give gifts. Please do not hurt me and I will give some of you gifts :)

Are you town aligned?

I will have a 2x type advantage.
So someone put me in.

Your pokemon doesn't evolve this generation. I say we try to get someone who can evolve.

Gonna help narrow it down

I use black in my colour scheme

This Narrows it down to Murkrow (Dark/Flying). Sneasel (Dark/Ice), and Houndour (Dark/Fire)

Infinitum posted:

The only pokemon here with an advtanage against Flying is Sneasel because it's part ice.

I also have reason to believe Dark type pokemon are Mafia-aligned this game.

and since Sneasel doesn't evolve, it makes sense as a stronger Mafia power in a role madness because the OP says pokemon that do not evolve get stronger abilities.

It's been awhile since I've played but I guess I'm mostly referring to making inferences based on mechanics we don't actually know. Poke-canon might not actually apply here, and things like saying "dark is prolly bad" like Met did makes no inherent sense, nor does guessing who can or can't evolved until we see more info.

I did not say "Dark is prolly bad" for the fun of it. I have information on that. I also did not guess who can't evolve. Based on the information he gave us, he can only be Sneasel.

Hmm, okay. I still have my follow-up question about why not evolving = mafia role, though.

It's not "If you don't evolve, you're Mafia", it's that not being able to evolve = stronger starting abilities which is consistent with Mafia-aligned players in a Role madness. It's not just that alone, it's that paired with the other things as well. The OP says Gym Battles are for Town-Oriented rewards. Town benefit from winning gym battles and gaining experience to get stronger powers, so logically it's up to Mafia to prevent that. So why is someone who can't evolve or make use of experience trying to take up slots for the easiest gym in the game?

Kashuno is also suspicious for this reason but he can clear himself to me by giving a present to someone who ends up being town. I don't believe his win condition though.

how does giving a gift to town clear me specifically? Not like I would know who's town ahead of time???

You wouldn't, no. I just don't see the benefit of Mafia being able to give town boons.

But now you're saying that your gifts can be harmful so I guess that saves you from that hole.

I don't understand your purpose. You merely survive 4 days, giving gifts to whoever you want. Doesn't seem very balanced or fun for that matter. I think you're a liar but you're not worth going after right now. I think Infinitum is a better D1 Lynch.

That being said, give me your boon/curse.
