Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

WEREWOLF XV: Pokemon Wars: GAME END: TOWN WINS!!!!! See Post 2547 for Final Update!

idk if it's worth going off of anything ulti said tbh. He didn't actually have a role, or any kind of special power.

The marking on pikamaster and dave628 is rather interesting....

Anything possibly leading to info about wolves is good info. So, why would you say that? His (non)role has nothing to do with the fact that he was killed. Are you implying that you are siding with the wolves?

@DarthPika

When I first read the update over I assumed that the tattoos were indicators of a group (possibly Special Forces 6 or another unknown group), just like how Death Eaters in Harry Potter had the Dark Mark.

@thunderjolt

What? Just because DP said ulti's picking on LEX may not be important doesn't mean he's siding with the wolves. He was the "Leader" of the Mason Group, so LEX may just as well be another member of the group who ulti decided wasn't posting enough.

Ulti was killed by a wolf. Ulti spoke to someone right before he died. It was most likely info about the killer. Therefore, the information is most likely useful to the town. But DP says to disregard that info from whoever gives it. Why?

That's my version of the puzzle, and I put the pieces together. Everyone has a different puzzle and puts it together in their own way. It's just how I see things.
 
@thunderjolt

I can see your point. Yes, ulti may have given whoever his comrade was the identity of a wolf. We'll just have to wait for more people to read the update and receive PMs about night activity results to possibly confirm this, if this is the case (which would be very helpful if it were).

@Redados1

Were you able to use your 'role' last night? If so, please reveal what you learned

Well, someone really is going out of their way to make sure Cardzmaster2004 doesn't vote. Day 2, and now Day 4 he has been restricted from voting. In Day 2, right after he posted he then was restricted from posting any more that Day. If this is the same role that targeted Cardzmaster on Day 2, which I believe it to be, then my prediction is that the same thing will happen after he posts once. Just a heads up to Cardzmaster2004, you may only have one post today
 
I would think it more likely that the Cardzmaster thing is a drawback to him using his power. "Every other day" powers are common in WW and it is equally common for powers, particularly strong powers, to have a drawback for using them. It's not much of a jump to deduce Cardzmaster has a night role that he can use on odd numbered nights and which limits his posting and/or voting the following day.

But is his role for the good of the town or for it's ruination? With him still being alive, I'm leaning toward believing the not so good for the town. After all, he is a strong player which puts a target on him from the get go. Then, it's plainly obvious he has some kind of night role, and if that role does in fact limit him for using it it's likely a strong role which puts another target on him. Yet he's still alive.

Hope you can make one really good post Cardz, because if you're a good guy we could really use your wisdom to see the town thru. Right now you seem a bit fishy. To me anyhow.
 
I wonder about the Gyarados role - does it just beat up people or is it maybe a roleblocker-style role?
waynegg, maybe Cardz is the Insomniac - it'd fit with his not getting any sleep, at least.

So, real fast before I do the things I'm supposed to be doing...

1. Gyarados looks like it's a role-blocker as both the bruised people can post and vote. Either Barkjon or PokemonFreak was the target of the Gyarados, I'll assume, and nothing happened with them (during this phase) other than their showing up bruised. Well, nothing that we know of. Not really much to discuss there, though.

2. Unless the man Ultima spoke to has useful information, he should stay silent. We don't need someone else to role reveal, not unless you have the name of a wolf.

3. Yeah, weird tattoo is weird. I know just as much about it as the rest of you...

Anyways, that's all for now~
 
Alright, looks like I got some explaining to do.

So, as people have noticed, I haven't posted that much during this game. I have reasons for this. School started soon after the game did. Between school, homework, cross-country, tennis, Pokemon, Confirmation classes, and whatever else popped up, I simply couldn't get a satisfactory post out that would be long enough to warrant my absence, and as my time away from the game grew longer I simply didn't have time to write a post .

No, you don't have reasons for this.

9) Sign Ups: 41 players

No, you are going insane. That number says 41. This game is going to have 41 people in it. When I said 37 was too big and I’d never do it again…I lied.
If we can get 41 people, then we will play with that many. If not enough people sign up, then I will drop some roles.

That being said I am going to be SUPER STRICT on inactivity. If you sign up and then stop playing this game, I will modkill or replace you with out second thoughts.

Sign up ONLY if you know you can play.

Absoltrainer told you upfront, "Sign up ONLY if you know you can play."


"School, homework, cross-country, tennis, Pokemon, and Confirmation classes," didn't come out of nowhere. There are only two legitimate explanations for not posting in this game (aside from real life emergencies). One is that you really are too busy to make a post, and the other is that you're trying to lay low and/or hide something.

If you're trying to lay low and/or hide information, that's suspicious. You chose to go the suspicious route, and you have to deal with it.

If you're playing in this game even though you know you don't have time (especially when you were told upfront that you shouldn't sign up if that were the case), then that's just rude, really. If you don't have time to play, ask the mod to replace you. Simple as that. This game fills up fast, and I'm sure there are lots other people who would very much like the chance to play in your place.

However, another reason is, honestly, there wasn't much to add. Whenever I would think of something, someone else would post it before me, making my information redundant. I have been thinking about this, just keeping it to myself.

Speaking of which, I DO have a few suspicions of my own, regarding both Day 2 and Night 3, which I feel I need to say. However, it's getting late, and I have school tomorrow, so I will try and post my thoughts and observations tomorrow if possible.

That's a pretty common excuse, but it's not really a solid one. As of right now, it takes 17 votes to lynch. When someone is lynched, the 17 players that are voting for them are not going to have 17 unique reasons for voting that player off. We're usually all agreeing that something the player has done is suspicious.

Your opinions are important, even if you agree or disagree with someone. How do we know where you stand if you don't tell us? How do I know what you're really thinking right now? It's pretty easy to go back now and say that you agree with all the stuff that you know won't get you in trouble.

So, yeah, you don't really have any excuses. I am interested to know what suspicions you have, though.

I'll agree that it's probably not the best lead we have, but it doesn't really matter that ultimatedra didn't have a special ability. If someone is causing problems for the wolves, they're going to want rid of that person. It's good for vanilla townies to be bold and make accusations so that the town-aligned power roles don't have to unnecessarily put a target on their backs. I mean, yeah, he doesn't have any proof of anything (he never claimed to, either), not to mention it's pretty WIFOM to say, "Well, he was calling out Lucario EX and then he was killed, so Lucario EX is obviously a wolf!" but it's still worth considering what vanilla players say.




@Redados1: So, can you speak about your role now, or what?



Not sure what's up with this tattoo business, but on the page Ikrit linked to, I found this quote:

Naga Sadow said:
Here in my Meditation Chamber I can see the galaxy in my mind's eye…I can visualize vast armies, powerful fleets, invincible warriors…and with Sith arts, my imagination can make them real!

We know there are two meditating players in this game. Redados1 has claimed one of those roles, but his role doesn't really seem to line up with this quote perfectly. This Naga Sadow dude is a Sith Lord, so I think it's imperative we find out the identity of this other meditating player as soon as possible.
 
No comment :(

Oh no. Not this again...

So Redados, do you now understand why its stupid to role-reveal early in the game? Sometimes role-revealing is the only thing you can do to save yourself, but no one had even voted for you. And assuming you are telling the truth about your role, it looks like you aren't going to be using it anytime soon.

And please don't start the whole "no comment" thing again. If there is something in the update that has something to do with what happened to you, then show us. And if its consistent with the last update quote you did, then at least you would have that in you're defense. It would at least be better then saying "no comment" over and over.
 
Same problem as yesterday, sorry.

You probably should have said that in the first place, as saying "no comment" will score badly with some players.

@toxic-Are you also saying that you think ulti's (to whoever received it) advice is useless, or are you conveying some other point? I'm sorry if I can't understand what you are saying. You are on my probable wolf list, still--and by rejecting possible hints towards wolves, you are telling me you are siding with the wolves. However, if you were saying something completely different than what I think, then I take back this statement.

I get easily confused sometimes :confused:

@Redados1: Dude, we talked about this, "No comment," business already... Be clear when you post. If it is the same problem as yesterday, you should have said so right away.

Is there anything you can tell us regarding this situation?


@thunderjolt:

1. Stop asking people if they are siding with the wolves. No one is going to admit to that.

2. I'm saying that we have no reason to take action based on what ultimatedra said in this thread. It's too WIFOM to say that Lucario EX is guilty simply because ultimatedra called her out and then was killed. He also had no proof of anything. However, as I said before, we should still consider what he (or any vanilla town-aligned player, for that matter) has said in this thread. Without any proof, though, we can justify taking any action, yet.

Lucario EX is already required to post today or risk being modkilled. She's going to have to explain herself very well when she finally posts if she wants to avoid any problems. Why rush into things?

I believe the information ultimatedra gave his partner could be useful to us, or it could just be something regarding their Mason group. I don't know. But, as Pikamaster said, I don't believe this person should come forward unless he knows the name of a wolf.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Although, I didn't ask for your alignment, I merely stated my opinion--which is all I can do at this point. Also, I don't believe I said anything about LEX (that I remember), so why the defence? To me, you don't seem to be equally defensive to all players, not that you have to be because you form different oppinions than everyone else, which is what we all do. Anyway, I'm not confused anymore.

Also, what do you mean by, "this thread"? Have I referenced other threads? I don't believe so, as this is my first game.

P.S. What's WIFOM?
 
As far as what I think about the tattoo's- these are my thoughts:

Alience between the two
"Twin" roles
Marked for traiters
Marked for death
Forced into Alience change for there lives
"Poison" counters?

If they have an alience, then we need to determin if it is good or bad by their intentions by abilities.
"Twin" (sibling) roles- if they do not communicate with each other (or they do and claim to not)- are they really trustworthy if they have each others back?
Tattooed because they are traitors too who they once sided with.
Marked for death- kind of explanitory, as being marked means ya can live for now, but death is iminent.
Side with me, take the "marking" to signify your new alience, and you will be spared your lives in service under this new leadership.
"Poison" counters- kind of a stretch, but just a thought on this. If they have been attacked by a Pokemon, a side effect could be poison. It could be a sign/signal that time is running out for them, and they need to act soon. Like I am saying, this is just a thought, as I do not know ALL the many aspects of this game. Pokemon do have attacks that have side effects and abilities, so I do not want to simply toss out the possibilities of what can or can not be in this game.

bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzppppppt

Pokemon in this game do not neccessarily mean that they are on the towns side. Look at Mewtwo. Even though Mewtwo stands alone, Mewtwo was in teeam rocket under control of Giavonie.
A Pokemon will be as faithful to it's trainer regardless of what it is commanded to do as long as the Pokemon tis treated nicely by the trainer.
If a Pokemon is "freelance"- then it's intentions are too think of itself and for itself. This is my guess/assumption that we need to think that maybe a Pokemon might be a vigalante. Just no longer trusts anyone, and will do whatever or side with whomever to gain what it wants selfishly at anycost.

Still quit the few whom are silent, and my suspisions are rising as to those who are not active at all or are refusing to provide any thoughts or observations to further this game on. I think it is time to push for the silence to be broken, or I will start voting non- actives unless someone else is proven in more then enough guilt to vote for them.

I will post again, after more observation from postings and when things get more active.

I really don't understand how you think I'm defending Lucario EX. I was simply responding to the following chain of quotes.

I really don't have much to say right now, except that there is no solid evidence for anything. One thing is that ultimatedra continued ot call out LEX for inactivity, no one listened, and now ultimate is dead. Maybe LEX should be a target. Just a thought.

idk if it's worth going off of anything ulti said tbh. He didn't actually have a role, or any kind of special power.

I clarified the above quote in my response to your previous post like you ask me to. That's why Lucario EX was mentioned.

Also, what do you mean by, "this thread"? Have I referenced other threads? I don't believe so, as this is my first game.

I was using, "in this thread," to differentiate between what ultimatedra has said in this thread about Lucario EX's inactivity and the message he gave to his partner upon his death, which you also questioned me about.
 
Also, what do you mean by, "this thread"? Have I referenced other threads? I don't believe so, as this is my first game.

Referencing things that have been said by a player in their post rather than in a moderator post is much more credible. Moderator posts are up for much interpretation and aren't necessarily your best hunting tool.

As of now I can't really say that these tattoos can mean much. We can establish some small link between the two players, however, it should not be our primary focus for now.

What SHOULD be our primary focus are any guilty reports that an investigative role may have. Innocent reports aren't useful right now and if an investigative role has only innocent reports, there's no need to report them or even out their role. That being unavailable, pressure hammer the suspect list and see what happens. Speculation on mod posts that are this vague seems rather farfetched with the large pool of players and limited amount of information that we have.

Moderator, can you please specify whether or not the wolves are able to "No Kill" at night in this variant?
