Gen I Pokemon Mafia - Mafia Wins

Intimidating in a bad way, so bad that he looked mafia to me.

And I could also guess his type, if my theory on Pokemon types affect powers is right.

I basically told everyone my type. All you need to do to figure out my type is google search my avatar (which can be done by click and drag). When Hypermug made the joke about "imitating a star" I specifically said that, interestingly enough, anyone who could figure out what my avatar was would be able to determine my type.

Edit: Bleh, that didn't work the way I expected it to (it just linked to my profile page here). So I'll just say what my avatar is: It's the True Earth Rune from Suikoden. Earth. That's all the clues I give for it.

But isn't it interesting that nothing happened? This implies that either A) my ability cannot target someone, B) I have a late-activating ability or C) I'm just a big, fat, lying Mafioso.

I am absolutely certain you are at least two out of three of C. Most likely neutral. If you're not lying, of course.

Can you post a paraphrased version of the PM you got? It would be very strange to have an RNG based, multi turn roleblock, if what I'm reading from your post is correct.

Sure. I actually got two PM's. At some time during the night, I suddenly felt a powerful shock that jolted me. I frantically searched around but I didn't find anyone. Then, the second PM (that came later), told me that when I awoke, I realized I was Paralyzed (I must be shi'tty in a fight if it takes me that long) and that every night from now on I have a 25% chance to be role blocked, and a 25% chance to be cured of Paralyze.

[COLOR="#cc8899"]Looks like the following happened last night, taking what everyone has said at face value:

1. LuvDWayULie; targeted Polantaris;, which Paralyzed him (may or may not roleblock him in the future). It's possible that he's a Ground type, which would explain (sortof, Ground should be outright immune to Electric) a weird result.

LuvDWayULie has claimed Pikachu, with a roleblocking power
Polantaris has hinted that he may be a Ground and/or Rock type relating to his avatar

The Ground/Rock type thing may be true, but I doubt it considering this post which points out that he Paralyzes using Thunder. But last time I checked he claimed flat out Roleblocker last night. Once again Luv looks insanely suspicious to me due to giving half facts. If the role PM specifically said it does Paralyze, he should have looked up that effect in Pokemon, which is definitely not a 100% guaranteed turn block. It's also an insanely powerful ability for a mafia game, way too easy to screw up and permanently punish the Town, we all know how Paralyze works in Pokemon =P.

No one has confirmed that it lasts multiple turns. You're jumping to conclusions. It's far more likely that his block will occur in the future (just like the move) or that it requires a type disadvantage to be successful.

No, it lasts multiple turns. It will last until it hits the 25% chance to cure itself, or I assume an outside source can help me out.

For the doctor to get a night 1 save seems unlikely with the amount of players that we have left. While it isn't out of the realm of possibilities, the doctor shouldn't come forth to say so. I actually read the night similar to xBTAx, and probably much simpler than most of you.

Luv (Blocks) -> Polantaris (Controls) -> CakesXD (Is ordered to attack) -> Hypermug (Fails because of Luv's thunder on Polantaris)

This seems like the most likely scenario to me, other than the doctor making the save. Polantaris is shifting away focus on himself by pointing the finger at Luv saying his ability didn't work, when in all likelihood it did work as intended. I do commend his strategy for using Luv's play-style against him to cause confusion.

I don't see a strategy where the mafia didn't use their kill; Even if the doctor made the save and we are going that route, we are left with some options with player that may have revealed more than they should have either by mistake or unknowingly.

These are just some of my theories, and I am leaving out the type advantage theory because it seems like it would over-complicate the game, but it is something to consider once we get more information.

For this scenario to be even remotely plausible, I'd have to be a Psychic type. I've already revealed, since my first post actually, that I am not. What Ground/Rock ability do you know of that can control people? I will say right now that my ability is linked to my type. Whether this was intentional or not I cannot say.

Polantaris, like faon, has a way with words. We never figured out who Polantaris targeted with his ability. Alot of people seemed to have gotten some sort of notification, so I guess the big question is who did Polataris target? And did they get a notice as well? I will admit, I jumped to a rapid conclusion that Polantaris targeted you, which is where my theory came from, but Polantaris never quite said who he targeted.

Edit: xBTAx said it best for why I am leaving out pokemon types for now. They may play a role, but it is too early to tell.

I targeted myself last night. It had nothing to do with anyone else. Take that as you will, although I probably just revealed way too much information.
