Jpulice, give it up. You don't have a speech restriction. You've made two posts without getting a public warning... I would know. I stayed up 20 minutes searching for that first post where you messed up. Here, in case anyone is wondering. Can you cut the nonsense and just post like a normal person?

You'll stop if Pikamaster flips his/her vote? That's cool, so you're admitting to having lied about the speech imped, is that correct?

[Pikamaster]

He got no
public warning, duh!
He DID fake!
I really wish
he would stop...

[Jason]

DGI bump.... 20 mins left people.

[Arcanine/Arbok Master]

Game day is frozen...So in case my last post wasn't clear, here is how I am resolving ties. The last person voted for is the tie breaker. the last vote cast was Prohawk switching from BlueNation to Thunderjolt which measn that ThunderJolt is out. Update to come shortly...

Players remaining: 14
Votes to lynch: 8

BlueNation (6): Absoltrainer, Pikamaster, Son_of_Apollo, Thunderjolt, King Piplup, PokechampOfPokeBeach
JewelQuest (1): Cantor
Thunderjolt (6): BlueNation, DragonClyne725, JewelQuest, Diaz, Jpulice, Prohawk

[Benzo]

Bump------------------------------->

[Jason]

why don't u just PM Cantor to make him break the tiebreaker, A/AM?

[Arcanine/Arbok Master]

I was trying to find where I posted it, but maybe I didn't. For consistency's sake I was planning on using this method to resolve any ties throughout the game. I wanted a simple way to do it that didn't extend the game or add any possible bias in. So the last vote cast was a very deterministic way of resolving the vote. Update coming in a bit.

[cabd]

Bump for that then.

[Arcanine/Arbok Master]

The events of the previous night seemed so near yet so distant as everyone set out once again scum hunting; no one was quite sure what happened last night and many only had faint ideas of events that may have occurred. One thing was certain: Team Plasma had killed again. Their numbers were dwindling, but they had made clear that they would fight to the bitter end.

Akane's death left many feeling uneasy. Protection at night would now be harder to come by. These uneasy thoughts slowed the town's progress and the day seemed to be coming to an impasse. Finally, a meaningful break in the discussion came through.

“Listen. I have seen into the dream world. I need you all to trust me. There is a force here far more dangerous than Team Plasma. If we don't find it, the entire Unova region will likely fall.”

A woman in a lab coat perked up.

“The dream world? You have seen into the dream world? You have to tell me more. What did you see? Are there more than three physical dimensions? Can you exist simul-”

“Stop! That isn't important. We can worry about that after we are safe! Right now we need to go over everyone's alibis...”

“He's right. Everyone here seems to check out too well. Something isn't right. We need to know what everyone has been doing. Someone is not who they seem...”

The speaker, a man with graying hair stood up slowly. Although powerful and a seasoned trainer, his signs of age showed.

“Bluenation. You claim to be Cress. Too many of our stories are checking out, but you...You have been acting very suspect. What exactly were you doing last night and why are you burned so badly?”

“I...I think someone sicked a pokémon on me”

“You think? That is pretty weak. I think I would no for certain if someone's Electivire punched me in the gut.”

“WAIT!”, someone spoke up. “Forget Bluenation. Here is what doesn't add up: Thunderjolt. Eyes swiveled toward the newly accused, who was sitting cross-legged and deep in thought.

“What about me may I ask doesn't make sense?”, asked Thunderjolt.

“Oh, I don't know...let's see...You claim to be Alder.”

“Correct”

“And the Alder we know was recently in the Hoenn region. We have people here who can confirm that fact.”

“Your point?”

“Correct me if I am wrong...but...Alder was missing right up until this all started happening. It could be you, but I don't think that is possible. If anyone is an impostor it is most likely you. You go on a secretive vacation for Arceus knows why and then turn up right as Team Plasma happens to be invading. Add to this the fact that we have probably been infiltrated and here we have you.”

“That is entirely speculation.”

“And? Who do YOU think we should lynch? Of course it is speculation. If we knew who was killing people every night, we wouldn't be speculating now would we?”

“Well then...I think we should get rid of Bluenation. He has been acting suspicious since day one. Revealing himself so early and claiming a seer...If you all still don't trust me then have any of your pokémon attack me. They won't do it.”

The group looked at each other silently, weighing Thunderjolt's proposal silently.

“...I don't like it. If he can manipulate pokémon so easily, it may be because of some control over the dream world. If he is lying then he is very dangerous.”

Liligant stepped forward to face him. Stepping forward with determination, Liligant positioned itself square in front of the accused and stared him down. Thunderjolt cackled lightly.

“If that thing won't do it then I will! BLAM”

A bullet pierced the air, leaving everyone momentarily deafened. Diaz returned his weapon to its holster. Everyone turned in shock to Thunderjolt. He was:

The Hoenn region seemed the perfect place and you set off to take a tour of the pokémon league there as well as take a week's stay in Mauville City. Normally you spend your time helping others and making a difference, but while here you decided to enjoy the quiet and soak up everything around you. On your 2nd day in town you visited the Game Corner and were overwhelmed by the beautiful array of multi-colored lights that met your eyes. A pleasant scent of delicious food met your nose and you had an amazing winning streak at roulette. Out of the corner of your eyes, you see a man appear out of thin air by the corner of the room. You twist your head around, cramping your neck slightly, just to no longer see him. Sobering up, you begin to strike up some conversation with those around you. Despite having been defeated years ago, the local people are a little concerned about the return of Team Magma. Although, as an old man to your right said: "People will always find something to worry about. Team Magma is just the next Dustox-poisoning scare!" Your vacation ended in what seemed to be a flash although you can still remember all the details. You returned to the pokémon league, more your usual self, to find an invasion. A natural love for pokémon flows through your veins and you have the innate ability to bond with most pokémon. You will use this power to defeat Team Plasma once and for all.

Passive Role: You are compassionate towards pokémon and share a natural bond with them. This may aid you during the game. For instance, pokémon will be reluctant to attack you.

Win Condition: Town Wins.

Night 8 ends Sunday, June 17th @ 11:59 PM.

Side note: Does anyone know a good place for me to find old episodes of the pokemon anime online?

Cool, bump for tonight's update

[Arcanine/Arbok Master]

The town suffered a huge disappointment upon learning Thunderjolt's true identity. The castle once again set itself up for the coming night. Sleeping bags were unrolled, late night snacks were had from the kitchen, and poké balls were held at the ready. The full moon was no more. It had in fact been replaced by a new moon and this night was destined to be the darkest yet. The normally eerie statues could not even be made out in the blackness of the new moon. The wind was dead. The deadness of the night fell over the castle and it was quite a while before people worked up the nerve to go about their nightly tasks.

A faint rustling betrayed the silence and a figure could be heard coming to its knees and pausing. “FWOOSH” A beam of light provided a very brief view of the lounge. The trainer blinked and focused on the imprints of light on his mind very carefully. Miraculously, he picked out an outline that seemed to be his desired target. A quiet tapping could be heard as the shadow crawled across the stone flooring towards the sleeping figure he felt was likely his target.

“Why couldn't you be a fire type or something? I could really use some light here.”, whispered the shadow to what must be his companion.

A few more brief words passed and suddenly a shimmering sphere erupted into existence. The faint light it provided betrayed the person it now surrounded. Shocked by the sudden globe appearing around, the now trapped sleeper flashed awake and jumped clear out of its sleeping bag. Cautiously, the sleeper reached out and poked the shield with a pinky, recoiling immediately at the pain that never came. Breathing a sigh of relief, the sleeper resumed its previous task of sleeping.

Now accustomed to the poor lighting, the trainer picked his path back to the couch he was rather partial to. His journey back seemed to be taking a bit longer than it should...Stopping and looking up to squint around for his fluffy couch, he suddenly turned to his left flank to notice something was wrong...

“Show me what items you have. Make it quick, I don't want to have to hurt your pokémon”, came the call from the darkness.

Light cries came from the darkness and the man cursed lightly before complying.

…

The right hand corridor door offered the faintest of creaks to suggest that is was being opened. A silhouette passed through and the door remained open behind it. The figure could not make out anything in the lounge. Everything was coated in darkness. A flutter of wings provided a momentary relief from the void that was the lounge. The figure shook itself and began walking along the perimeter of the room, touching the cold stone wall with one hand. A few statues blocked the path occasionally, but the shadow stepped around them quickly, allowing its hand to leave the safe guidance of the wall for those brief seconds. Finally...the first corner...and the second....and the door to the opposite wing loomed. Despite being invisible tonight, the door still maintained a certain presence that seemed to radiate out from it.

The figure reached for the handle only to find that the door had already been opened. Nervous but determined, the shadow passed through the door into the carpeted hallway. The torched flickered lazily tonight and the resulting light caused the figure to breath a sigh of relief. The desired bedroom could be seen down the hall on the right. The shadow walked hastily towards it whilst fumbling with some small device. The small hand-held gizmo had a flashing red LED on it that provided no light source but stood out ominously against the dark night. Grasping the bedroom door handle with the left hand and gripping the device in the right hand, the shadow attempted to open the door to no avail. Locked. Fishing around, the figure produced a bobby pin from somewhere and proceeded to jam it into the keyhole. Several minutes and curses later, the door clicked.

“Wow, what a heavy sleeper...” Giving the device a final once-over, the shadow turned the knob and pushed the door in quietly. A large bed filled the room and the occupant had apparently just been awakened by the sound of the door. In mid yawn a shimmering white bubble erupted over the sleeper who blinked and frowned uncertainly. The owner of the device fled, discarding it in the process.

…

In the left-hand corridor a man sat in his bedroom silently. A few candles lit his room and a few oldish looking books were scattered around. The titles and pictures on them seemed to indicate that they contained some form of knowledge about ancient pokémon. The door was previously shattered and a makeshift barricade stood in the doorway. The occupant of the room lit the candles and then returned to his bed where he began meditating silently.

“TINK, Tink, tink!” The man did not bother looking up for a few minutes, not wanting to interrupt his ritual. A pokéball lay on his side of the barrier, apparently thrown over from someone in the hallway. Arising, he walked swiftly towards it and inspected it cautiously.

“Thanks I suppose?”

…

Boots padded down the carpeted hallway, echoing softly down the corridor.

“Creeeeekkkk”

“DREAM EATER”

The booted “thuds” stopped abruptly and the owner of the boots stopped to look around. A sudden nausea raced over the man and he fell to the ground exhausted. Whatever had just hit him was like nothing he had ever experienced. He stumbled to his knees and rammed into the side wall, barely able to support himself. Staggering down the hall, he did not notice a pair of red eyes gleaming at him from around the far corner of the hallway. The observer began to creep up on the mostly disabled man when a crash caused it to jump and turn around.

A torch had fallen behind it and ignited the carpet rather quickly. Screeching, the stalker quickly dodged around the flames and fled around the corner and into the darkness, its mission disturbed. The hallway remained quiet for a short time before a new shadow stepped around the corner with some small pokémon in tow. The shadow shielded its face to adjust to the sudden light of the torches which were all symmetrically aligned in the hallway and flickering peacefully. The shadow walked cautiously up to an undisturbed looking door and cracked it open. A faint shimmering met the figure's eyes and it stared at the source for a bit before turning around and exiting the room and the hall. The shadow did not notice the hovering silhouette that was stalking him silently.

…

On the balcony a man lay on his stomach observing the mostly quiet lounge. DragonClyne725 believed himself to be alone up here. The balcony's usual denizens perhaps had plans that night, but he saw no one and was very careful to make sure that nobody was hiding up here.

“Woobat. You know what to do. I'll wait here for you.”

Woobat gave a happy acknowledgment and swooped off the balcony railing into the darkness below. Unlike all the other occupants of the castle, Woobat was not even remotely disturbed by the darkness. DragonClyne725 glanced nervously around the balcony before resuming his vigil of the lounge. So far all had been quiet...A faint glimmer could be seen across the room but other than that and one small scuffle the night had been fairly uneventful.

“Hello Brycen.”

DragonClyne725 hit his head on the railing in an attempt to stand up as quickly as possible.

“Hmph. Your Cryogonal is fainted and your Woobat is out running silly errands. You don't appear to have any defenses now, do you?”

The pitch blackness hid the assailant and DragonClyne725 squinted into the darkness for any signs of identity.

“Convenient new moon out tonight, wouldn't you say? It took me a while to find you, but now its just you and me DragonClyne725. Any last words?”

“Who are you?”

The Team Plasma member let out a hearty laugh.

“PEW”

A red beam flared from the darkness. DragonClyne725 dove aside and avoided the attack.

“PEW!”

Again the gun flared and struck were DragonClyne725 stood only milliseconds before. The second dodge put him right up against the railing of the balcony. Weakened by the double blast, the stone cracked and crumbled away. The balcony began to crumble away and DragonClyne725 found himself unable to grasp onto any solid ground in time. The balcony crumbled off the edges into the darkness and he fell.

…

The next morning's sunlight restored hope and raised spirits. The darkness of the night had made everyone uneasy. Unfortunately, DragonClyne725 was discovered crushed to death beneath a large part of the stone overhang that had fallen during the night. He was:

The journey took a couple of days, but you finally glimpsed the temple off in the distance. You're Cryogonal sighed (well its equivalent of a sigh is more of an icy gust) and perked up immediately, but...A faint rumble echoed in the distance followed by a moderate ripple in the earth below. Looking up, you saw a massive avalanche falling perpendicular to your path to the temple. You stop in your tracks and watch the snow tear across the slopes, thankful that you were slightly delayed back in the city. "Help!" The cry echoed from the proximity of the avalanche. Snapping to attention, suddenly alert, you see an arm and a face barely protruding from the snow. Someone had been knocked into a slight ravine by the first wave of the avalanche and been nearly buried. Breaking into a sprint, you ran for what seemed to be only a few seconds despite the victim being almost a half mile away. The second wave of the avalanche echoed and a fresh wave of icy snow began racing down to the valley you now peered into. "Cryogonal, part the snow! Buy us some time before it overruns our position!" Diving into the valley, you began scooping snow and ice aside in a frenzy as Cryogonal grunted and struggled to keep the tide of death at bay. Quickly, you pulled the girl out and dragged her towards the safety of the temple. You arrived at the door, turning behind to see Cryogonal fighting and failing against the oncoming tide. Aiming your poké ball carefully, you recalled Cryogonal from a solid 100 meters away which as far as you know has never been done before or since. Candice, the local gym leader, expressed her gratitude for saving her and offered to train with Cryogonal in return.

Poké Ball (Cryogonal): During the night, you may PM me that you would like to use this role. The night phase ends immediately; all roles and night actions sent after yours will fail automatically. (Any role sent to me before yours will still happen). Cryogonal will faint after using this.

Win Condition: Town Wins.

Note that Cryogonal does not drop since it is fainted, so I am revealing it.

A poké ball was found near the fallen balcony. The first person to ask me for it will get it.

A Luxury Ball was found in a crate marked “TOWN SUPPLIES”. The first person to pm me for it will get it.

BOTH HAVE BEEN CLAIMED

Diaz appeared to have gotten no sleep

Bluenation is telling the truth about being a 1/3 alignment seer....
