Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Werewolf XIV: Team Rocket's Trap - TOWN WINS

I did say to correct me if I'm wrong, didn't I? Maybe I should have done more research, but honestly I've been out of Pokemon for so long now that little detail skipped my mind. In any case, for the moment, Benson doesn't really have anything going for him. I think he's defended himself adequately enough.

And you're absolutely right. I have nothing going for me that I'm a townie, everyone else has a valid excuse and I have played so well that you guys can't really get a read on me. That changes today:

I am Steven Stone.
During nights one, two, and three, I was able to send a PM to Lucario EX with a name. If I found Cynthia (jpulice) in that time, we would both gain a new ability.

Win Condition: Town wins.

Unfortunately, jpulice was killed Night Two. And with that, also killed were any hopes of mine for a new ability.

On another note, I would like to note that little has changed since the last day. All that has changed is that I've made an unfounded claim, merely because of my lack of knowledge on the subject of the manga, anime, and video games. And when corrected, as you will see, I will take my vote back.

Pikamaster has jumped on my vote a little too quickly I feel, not even giving me ample opportunity to explain myself. I believe that he is very much an indie and I feel he's becoming a liability very quickly.

Also, let's note that jellyfisher very well could be the Werewolf here. I mean, it makes sense to claim that he was role-blocked, right? I mean, how else would you cover if you were pretending to be the indie? This is incredibly predictable on jellyfisher's part and I think he has revealed to us who he truly is.

In my opinion, there is no reason not to vote for jellyfisher. Worst case scenario, he is an indie. And that's really not so bad if you think about it. Not when there is, in my opinion, sufficient evidence to prove that he is the werewolf.

Think about it; if you were the Werewolf here, would you really role-block him instead of killing him? That's taking a huge risk letting another person with a kill role roam free without killing them. A huge, unnecessary risk. If I were the Werewolf, I think you all know me better enough than for me to take such a huge risk. Which is the reason I would advocate quite sensibly that jellyfisher is the Werewolf.

Therefore... for now....

Unvote: Benson
Vote: jellyfisher


Reason: for jumping the gun and attacking me before I could explain. And for what I feel is sufficient evidence of suspicion.

Hopefully, by role-revealing, I have gained your trust. If you don't believe me, well, that's on you. I think you'll find that it's perfectly logical that I am Steven Stone. It makes good sense, at least to me. And I'm confident you'll come to the same conclusion.

Is it just me, or have we already done this before?


Enough about that; I don't want to just push all my accusations aside with "But maybe it was - !" All I can respond to is Diaz saying that I am Archer, and I will respond to that by again saying that I'm not Archer. I am Steven Stone. My role allows me to PM Lucario EX on even-numbered nights and prevent a player from voting the next day. Night 2 I targeted Elite_4_Allen, who was playing very recklessly and struck me as very wolfy - and also because I wasn't sure who else to target; he called out to me. Well, apparently he called out to someone else, too, because he died before my role could have any effect. =\

Kayle has some explaining to do. He role revealed yesterday, but it was fake. Here is a quote from Waynegg, the bolded part.

Anyhow, I was Steven Stone. My role was that of a voteblocker. Only share this if you absolutely have to.

So your saying that you are Steven Stone? Yeah, I'm not buying that...

Now it looks like your only argument is the one Kayle used, accusing a dead townie of lying. Because keep in mind that we do know that Waynegg is a confirmed townie from this post.

Vote:Kayle

Waynegg IS certainly town aligned, as per an item i have possession of.

Or are you going to try and say that TheKing is a wolf?

Also, let's note that jellyfisher very well could be the Werewolf here. I mean, it makes sense to claim that he was role-blocked, right? I mean, how else would you cover if you were pretending to be the indie? This is incredibly predictable on jellyfisher's part and I think he has revealed to us who he truly is.

Wow...

So now I'm the wolf? Tell me PokeChamp, if I really were the wolf, why hasn't Lance killed me yet? I already proved that he can use his role twice in a row. Doesn't that sort of ruin your theory?

And yes, the wolf (and I'm betting its you) did take a huge risk letting me live. But think about it. The wolf couldn't afford to let Pikamaster live. With no idea about his role it would make him a huge threat to the wolf.


Therefore... for now....

Unvote: Benson
Vote: jellyfisher

Yeah, this is just a wolf making a last attempt at survival. So lets get the last two votes on him and end this.
 
Remember this post?
This what I've gathered from LEX's update:



So in summary, the list of night two kills are:

Kezzup, Townie -- killed by his/her own role. It may be possible to find and eliminate another Werewolf if we can accurately guess the identity of someone he thought innocent enough to hide behind. One of us who appears trustworthy definitely isn't so...

Elite_4_Allen, Werewolf -- killed by an unidentified player. This is good for us because we can confirm the presence of either a vigilante or an independent among our ranks, or perhaps a Red-type townie role that allows he/she to choose Pokemon to use in the night. Whomever he/she is, he has rid us of the presence of another Werewolf. While this is helpful, a kill role is definitely nothing to scoff at, so it is crucial that we decipher the identity of this individual.

jpulice, Townie, -- killed by the Werewolves during the night. Obviously, it is ideal if we can find out who did this, but with no other clues aside from the killed individual in question, deciphering the identity of the rest of the Werewolves might be difficult (especially considering the fact that there are only two of them left, again, presumably). So far, however, two wolves have died over the course of two nights. If this trend continues, the town itself will have to do little work in defeating this foe.

At the moment, I have several things to consider. There do not appear to be any decent targets for a vote at the moment, though I'm sure that will change in due time (as is the nature of the game). At the moment, I am strongly considering voting for inactives. There are several players who I believe either haven't posted or have posted so little that there is starting to be little excuse for them.

On a final note, I am interested in the possibility of Koga (who is almost confirmed seeing as Janine makes such a direct reference to him) being in the game. Koga is a total ninja, so if anyone were likely to be the assassin-type, it would probably be him. Koga may very well be said assassin from night 1, and note how there was no disappearance for this night. That may point to an inactive player, so, like I said, if you've been inactive for a considerable length of time in-game, I suggest you start talking.

Thus far, two inactives who really stand out from the rest to me are DukeFireBird and Lil' Magma. Neither of them have posted since the initial day 1, and neither have voted for any players. Seeing as both of these players have engaged in several Werewolf games, their behavior is highly unusual.

Please, DFB and Lil' Magma. I am interested in what you have to say. Please inform us all of why you have all but disappeared from the discussion?

Followed by this:
As PokeChampofPokeBeach spoke, a brilliant light flashed. A Pokemon, standing next to its Trainer while watching PokeChampofPokeBeach closely, seemed to be the source of the illumination.

I'm not convinced PokeChamp is a wolf, but I'm not convinced he's Steven either. I'd be more inclined to think someone is/was searching for him, not the other way around.

First off, I have a theory about the bright light. Remember that it has happened twice.

bit pointless to be able to talk to wolves wouldn't it?
A light flashed from nearby, shining on TheKing.


-----

Day is over, no posting.

So I think Kwisdumb caused it.

kwisdumb:

You are Jasmine, the shy and reserved Gym Leader of Olivine City.

During the night, you may PM me with a post number at least 10 higher than the last one made in the game thread at that time. When a post with that number is made, you will be told whether the person who made it lied about game information anywhere in that post.

Win condition: Town wins.

Because if you look back at PokeChamps post, he said that DukeFireBird was playing the game.And TheKing said that it would be pointless to talk to wolves while he was talking to one.

And even if it wasn't Kwisdumb, it happened twice, so that means it is impossible that someone was looking for PokeChamp.

And maybe I didn't make myself clear enough before. PokeChamp cannot be Steven Stone! Waynegg already said that he was Steven Stone through TheKing. And it also has been proven that Waynegg was a townie. So PokeChamp is doing exactly what Kayle was doing. And as we all know, Kayle was a wolf.

And of course, I am staying with my vote.
 
Mmm, alright, vote time.
Vote: PokeChampofPokeBeach

Two other points, with the knowledge of only on one occasion did you Hyperbeam two nights in sequence, and that Pikamaster had an Aerodactyl that used hyperbeam, I still think you have a cooldown Jellyfisher.

Second thing is the more Pokemonfreak5 has to say about Arianna, the more suspicious he becomes, though not as a wolf unless he was out to kill his own from square one. There's research then there's conspicuous knowledge, especially when it was mentioned prior to the final wolf's pokemon being revealed.
 
PokechampofPokeBeach was too aggressive defending himself from the frequent accusations, and began to appear more and more suspicious. Once the sun was beginning to set, and everyone was arguing with PokeChamp, a Pokemon flew past overhead. Red's Aerodactyl grabbed the unfortunate Psychic-type user, and dropped him from high overhead.

He was:

Lucario EX said:
PokeChampofPokeBeach:

You are Will of the Johto Elite Four. You have decided to ally yourself with Team Rocket, at least for now.

You are a Werewolf with ------. You may now communicate with each other through PM, IM, email, Skype, etc. at any time during the night phase. Each night, the Packmaster will PM me the name of ONE person. The person whose name they PM me will be killed during the night.

Now that the other Werewolves have established contact with you, you will no longer be able to use your previous abilities.

Win condition: Werewolves win.

Begin Night 8!
Phase ends July 1st, at 11:59 PM (EST)

pokemonfreak5 awoke to see the shadow of a large Pokemon looming over him. He panicked, immediately running for the nearest exit. Unfortunately for him, he bumped into his attacker and fell to the ground, making him an easy target.

Once the sun was up, the survivors convened again to debate their next target, and to mourn the death of another innocent victim.

pokemonfreak5 has been killed! He was:

Not a big surprise, but the wolf role blocked me again.


9. Jason
12. Benson
15. Chanman

Okay, so one of these three should be the last wolf.


Okay people.

Let me explain a bit about myself.

For many Werewolf games I have played, I am not a kind of person who would type long posts as my main weakness is, that I have trouble writing long things and I am not good with advanced English. Plus my grammar structure sucks. And another thing is, I usually just lazy and rather not do big things.

Out of the last remaining people...

Jellyfisher, is he REALLY Lance ? High odds of lying out there.

Pikamaster, is starting to get REALLY fishy, And will more likely starting to be a control freak exploiting the situation. Just like DarthPika once was if I read it right (please forgive me, as I am tired and may not think properly).

Pokemonfreak5, he's legit. I see nothing fishy about him.

PokeChampofPokeBeach. If his latest post is basically trying to claim that he is not a wolf or an indie, then the only thing I would suspect that the wolf/indie would be between Pikamaster and Jellyfisher. Those two are just well fishy. Perhaps, Pikamaster could be lying about everything, including the 3 names he wants to target.

Other people, I'll sum it up later but right now, I want to go to bed.

NIGHT.

So Jason, why haven't you done the rest of your summing up?

And while Jason does have some explaining to do, I think that the main lynch options for today are Benson and Chanman.

I don't think that I have to say why Benson is a lynch option. But nothing has been said about Chanman yet.

So to start it off, I would like to point out that Chanman has only made 19 posts this game! That means that he has the lowest post count of the surviving players. The only people below him are the ones that were killed off days ago!

He also was the one that ended the day when there was still time to talk about other things...

And Benson, I would like to ask a question about this post.

The update and the other updates showed that right now, we're down to 2 wolves, unless one of them just tags along with the Rockets. So my question is this; why presume Victorybell could be the "Last" wolf? Do you know something we don't? If so, why are you hiding it?

Sounds like you've slipped up on the fact that there are 2 wolves, but there's only one excluding yourself... Not voting though.

Why did you bother defending Victorybell? I have found out that the new wolves tend to defend other wolves. That's how I found most of the wolves I killed.

And saying that it sounds like he slipped up on number of wolves makes you sound wolfy. It isn't hard to make a typing mistake, so why assume that he did it intentionally?

You also seem to have been strongly hinting that you thought he was a wolf. And that just so happens to be something that wolves tend to do. Strongly hint that they think someone is a wolf, but don't vote for them.

Oh yeah. Just in case anyone wants to know, I tried to kill Benson last night. And I will try to do it again today.

Vote: Benson

I might change this later, but for now I think that he is looking like a very good lynch option.

I've been delayed to vote all game, it's how I play. I prefer to side line, though that probably makes me sound indie if not wolf. Either way, I've already made a point that I'm Buck and it's been like that since the start of the game.
 
So my role worked and I was able to talk to pikamaster this night. here is what he posted

Pikamaster said:
Heck yeah. So I kinda lied in the thread about when I used Vee, I only used him the night that I died. Coincidentally, the person I targeted was the wolf who killed me. Benson. Benson is the 6th and final wolf and must die.

Jellyfisher also must die, because he is probably an independent. If Benson's death doesn't end the game, look to Jellyfisher, then Ultima and PkB. Actually, kill PkB or Ultima first, so the clones don't have a chance at the majority, then have everyone in the town (just say that I said to do it or something) make Jellyfisher target the other clone that night. If they both die and it doesn't end the game, lynch Jellyfisher and it should be all wrapped up.

So based on that

Vote: Benson
 
*rolls eyes*

How wrong Pikamaster was. Sigh, I'm not going to convince you but I'm not the wolf, I'm Buck, plain and simple.
 
I REALLY doubt Benson is the wolf.

That leaves the last person that would be fit for a lynch, and he havent really posted much as pointed out by jellyfisher.

VOTE: Chanman

VOTE: Chanman

So Jason, why don't you think Benson is a wolf? We have someone with a confirmed seer power that said he is a wolf. I'm just finding it very hard to believe Pikamaster was wrong.

And if you have a reason thinking Benson is innocent, then why don't you just say it? Seriously, we are down to the last wolf, so it doesn't really matter if you say all that you know.

And besides what Pikamaster said, we also have all of the other things Benson was doing. Including this post that he made.

There is nothing in the update that says you killed Victory Bell, quite to the contrary in fact. There is no hint as to who killed VB and there is a possibility that it was DP on his death bed.

Last point for thought, also involving DarthPika. How do we know some of the said kills weren't his "Borrowing" of your pokemon?

It sure looks like Benson was trying really hard to come up with an argument against me. So Benson, why would you even think that there was a possibility that DP killed Victory Bell? And saying that DP could have done some of the night kills by using my Pokemon? There was absolutely nothing to even hint at any of that! I think that it's more likely that you were trying to find anything that would get me lynched.

Remember the Light incident with PokeChamp?


It would be within reason to believe that someone was searching for him, which seems to have occurred on a few occasions with other characters. I don't think they'd be searching for a wolf, but an indy role is still probably.

I'm not convinced PokeChamp is a wolf, but I'm not convinced he's Steven either. I'd be more inclined to think someone is/was searching for him, not the other way around.

You also defended PokeChamp twice with something that was extremely unlikely. And the second time you did it was when it was obvious he was a wolf.

I'm gonna add Chanman to the Townie list for reasons I really don't think favour explanation.

And you said that you thought Chanman was a townie based off of a post he made. Which you conveniently forgot...

I could come up with more against you, but I think this is good enough for now.

I simply don't believe that your story added up, there was one instance of double Hyper Beam and I doubt a role blocker worked out you were Lance by day 4.

You also defended PokeChamp twice with something that was extremely unlikely. And the second time you did it was when it was obvious he was a wolf.

It was all to do with the light, that was the only thing holding my vote back. It would appear to be a change of alignment... Which brings TheKing back in after my name's cleared.

And you said that you thought Chanman was a townie based off of a post he made. Which you conveniently forgot...

It's usually midnight when I'm on here, don't expect me to remember ever little thing, I didn't exactly forget, I just wanted to make it open that there is evidence out there, but it's very loose. I wanted someone else to look without saying straight out. "Read Chanman and Pikamaster's posts, I think there's a link"

I could come up with more against you, but I think this is good enough for now.

Go for it.
 
I may not be voting - but i can assure you, Benson is NOT a werewolf.

So, according to jellifisher's post - it would be either Jason or Chanman.
Read what these TWO have posted, and there you can make a decision.
