Pokémon Mafia 2 - Game Thread (Day 4)

[October Yoshi the SSM]

Knuckles: "Flicky! Who sent you!"

Flicky: "I already told you. Nine."
Knuckles: "Flicky! They are saying I must be one of those mafia thieves. Is this Dr. Robotic's doing?"
Flicky: "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Knuckles: "I do not like being tricked. What do you know?"
Flicky: "What are you talking about?"

Knuckles: "... So. You are not telling me. Alright then. I guess I have to find these mafia thieves myself."

Knuckles: "Look. I honestly thought that I was coming here to help you out with catching these thieves. But if what you guys are saying is true, that means I was sent under a false pretense. But at least, if that is even true, I will help you guys out in finding these mafia thieves. As I am not part of that group. I may be sent by them. However..."
Knuckles: "I will make them regret that decision should that be true. And if not, the thieves will have to deal with my fury for trying to cast sus on me. @Super Jack Sunshine @Evil Power Flotzo . Make your best case for your innocence."

As the Roserade has roleclaimed, so too shall I.

I am the innocent Reviver, and I was the one behind the revival of Shmilbert. To address the claims the slime made towards me, I held off on voting Day 2 on the off chance that I would tie the votes and accidentally cause an innocent member to get lynched. For Day 3, I also held off for similar reasons, that I would be complicit in voting an innocent.

There is very little incentive to have gotten rid of me seeing as I have already used my role power and have reverted to being essentially a vanilla role, so I would like to turn my attention to someone who has repeatedly been gunning for me (going off my roleclaim of course).

Vote: Yoshi the SSM

Well, this sounds like we've got a pretty neat setup for the game's conclusion, but looks can be deceiving. I'm going to unvote, vote: YtSSM because he was one of my two primary susses anyhow, and him flipping will tell us just as much as PF would. If YtSSM does flip innocent, especially as reviver, I'm aiming straight for PF next

As a general note, though: I don't want our "outed" two players to feel entirely defeated, Mafia or not. I would still be glad to hear out claims or alternate theories, as contradictory as they may be to what's been established. There's always a chance that one of our claimers today is lying, and if they are lying, it's vital that you help us sort that out. Basically, I just want to encourage you to fight thoroughly, especially if a game loss is on the line!

Flicky: "For what it is worth, you are indeed the role cop."
Knuckles: "Then why didn't you tell me any info."
Flicky: "Because... it failed. And he didn't do it night 2."
Knuckles: "I wasted that role power on that Miller all thanks to that Roserade."
Knuckles: "And how do I know whether or not you are even telling me the truth?"
Flicky: "Umm... You just do?"

Knuckles: "Flicky. That isn't how this game works."

Knuckles: "I am not getting any info out of this bird."

Knuckles: "You do have a good point. And hopefully, this roleclaim does do something to help you out."

Role Cop? That does seem like an evildoer role, and furthermore, I do not believe us, pure-hearted souls have the blessing of having two powerful investigative roles in the likes of alignment cop and role cop on our side.

Unvote: Power Flotzo

Vote: Yoshi the SSM

While the possibility was there that Mr. Knuckles was innocent (at least before their claim to be the Role Cop), they had admitted they did not revived our Doctor, so in practice, it is impossible for them to have been the Reviver.

If Mr. Knuckles is indeed innocent, then this will leave me utterly astonished.

If Mr. Knuckles is indeed innocent, then this will leave me utterly astonished.

Knuckles: "Mr. Knuckles is indeed innocent. But the thing is, should Yoshi the SSM be mafia, that means that someone else is in the mafia position. You can try to make a guess on who it is. But all I know that it isn't me or Flicky as Flicky is not really smart enough to do this kind of work."

Yoshi the SSM: For clarity, this is just a roleplay fluff. In-universe, Knuckles actually believes that he is innocent.

Knuckles: "Hey! Who is speaking! Show yourself!"

Yoshi the SSM: What? Me? No. I can show myself as a representation. However, I chose you to be my representative here. Meaning I can't fulfill your request.
Knuckles: "Oh. So, you must be Yoshi the SSM. Wait. How does it work? Me being your representative. I am Knuckles, right?"

Yoshi the SSM: "You are Knuckles being played by me. It is called roleplay. It is quite complicated to explain otherwise."
Knuckles: "Ah. I may not completely understand. But at least I got the grasp of it."

"It appears as though the final day has dawned upon our crimson echidna, as if he had somehow magically appeared in the faraway mystical land of Hyrule during the events of what's known as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Which strikes me curious, for Princess Zelda only appears in a flashback in which she teaches the Hero of Time how to use the Ocarina during the events of this legend, so why is the legend named after her, and not the Hero of Time? I apologize for rambling like this, dear investigators, but there's not much else that I can do until the shiver of night befalls upon us once more as things currently stand."

as if he had somehow magically appeared in the faraway mystical land of Hyrule during the events of what's known as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

um ackshually majora's mask takes place in termina which is considered a distinct separate world from hyrule, possibly being some kind of alternate dimension

this has no bearing on the game please continue

Breaking character for a bit sorry I haven't been very active I had a busy day yesterday ;-;
I don't honestly have much to say on this round's events regardless because it is highly unlikely in my eyes that there would be both a role cop and an alignment cop on the innocent side so I shall Vote: Yoshi the SMM

"Dit ditto."

 

[BBQ Turtle]

Uh... wow, that was electrifying. A lot happened in not a lot of time, huh? I think we've still got a little bit of narrowing down to do, right, so I'll put my thoughts out there too. I'll admit I was still pretty suspicious of the Event Gulpin with what they said at first- it's like they completely missed what I said! But with the prompting from the Roserade, and their claim of being bulletproof, I'm willing to put it down to being an accident, at least for now, so I'll Unvote: Ninja Squid. OK, and then a few more claims have been sparked by the discussion- I think the Roserade as a vigilante makes enough sense, and yeah, as much as the Hariyama was being weirdly quiet, I guess you kind of want to keep a low profile with a valuable role like a reviver- and if you are telling the truth, then you certainly put it to good use, and unintentionally helped me get out of a pinch- I owe you one! Same for you Mr Shmilbert, thanks for helping me clear things up with the others!

So, the Sandslash- I'll admit, you had me worried when you said you didn't have the message- it's a bold strategy, and if you'd made the claim first, or not been up against our doctor, I think I'd have been in some real hot water! It was a pretty cool idea, it just didn't pan out for you I'm afraid. Vote: Yoshi the SSM.

Still not really got anything to go off with the Ditto, but it is pretty cute!

"You're welcome, I suppose, Mr. Spark. Let's just hope that our assumptions of the crimson echidna being scum end up proving correctly, and if they don't, at least we'll have an idea of where to look next during the following day, based on how the events during the upcoming night end up playing out."
