PS. The rules made it clear you could evolve any pokemon with a stone. Not cannon, but neither is intimidate as an active skill that lowers special attack power/stops an attack outright. So there appear to be a lot of wildcards that aren't true to the games.
I don't think it made clear that ANY pokemon can evolve with a stone. The post said evolution can occur through stones, and that we can get stones at events.
Oh you're right. I went back and reread it. It does specify stone types, which may indicate only the usual stones/evolutions.
Well anyways, intimidate working like that still isn't how it actually works, so things are still confusing.
I can tell you my pokemon's power doesn't work the way it works in the games.
I honestly don't care who you guys want to vote for, Rolsand or Kilee. Even Krackenor. I picked my side, more people should be putting their vote with their mouth is. We have lots of information on the table. Start making it clear what you want to do with it, and if your train gets traction, more people might hop on it.
You have to be willing to risk something to win this game. All this guilting about which choice is the wrong choice is leading to a bunch of indecision. 14 votes is a lot to build up. We have 3 days I know, but that's not always as long as you think.
Fine. You're right. I've been waiting for more info on too many things before committing to actually voting, and it's clear we're just shooting ourselves in the foot trying to find any reason to trust Rolsand now, so we don't have to feel bad about lynching him, or something. He's still got a mysterious allegiance and a frightening power, so... Vote: Rolsand. Sorry we ended up coming back to you anyway, man. But we do have to make a decision, and you still look like the best choice.
As Sylandra said, I've staked out my position and reasoning, but I'll just say that I feel like Rolsand has done enough to earn himself another nightphase.
He's provided information, has more information to give in future, has proven that he's at least partially telling the truth and shown he is willing to go along with group decisions.
Yeah I'm sure a lot of abilities have been altered to fit Mafia better. Like Magnitude. In game its a single target attack with a variable strength. Here, it's a AoE stun that hit's a variable number of random targets. So we should probably be looking at the theme of abilities more than the actual game mechanics.
Which, again, makes me feel like we don't have both Earthquake and Magnitude in this, but I'm done pushing that for now. Let's grill somebody else.
The Champion sits on the sand still, slightly stunned at the proceedings and mouth moving slowly as if attempting to work something out in his head. He finally stands, glancing at the CCL: Expedition and letting his gaze follow through to the horizon before moving to join with the group. "I suppose someone has to be held responsible for everyone getting hurt..." he says, though it's obvious his heart isn't in it.
If we damage out the Sandshrew, it's just gone from the game. If we kill Rolsand though, it can be up for grabs later on, though we're not entirely clear on the details of how that works yet, except that it's "first come first serve"
Also, if there's more than one person with Shadow Sneak about and that ability works like I think in stealing from the Champion's Car, we won't know who might steal it tonight before a trading event happens.
Well magnitude is not something I want to see in the hands of mafia, and I don't think intimidate comes with unlimited use to keep that kind of ability in check sooooo I'm going to hard pass on lynching Rolsand.
New meta. Now you have to consider mafia getting their hands on super powers.
Wait, what happens to the sandshrew when he dies? It is up for grabs by anyone?
I'd prefer the mafia not have that.
We don't know how it works yet, and I assume we won't know for sure until we actually have some Pokemon up for grabs. There's suspicion that Kilee's sneaky ability lets her steal a Pokemon from the car of discards, so if Kilee ends up with a Sandshrew, hey! We'll know what her power does. I'm assuming there's at least a couple people out there that can identify someone's Pokemon, since we've heard of a scanner and someone playing with another person's Pokemon. So it won't be impossible to check that one out in that situation.
And what makes you think no one else will kill him to try to get Sandshrew if we don't lynch him? What if someone has the ability to kill someone and steal their Pokemon in the process? At least if we lynch, we know where it's going for now, and it might put the ability out of commission for a little bit if there's no way to get access to those Pokemon besides one of the Events that were mentioned.

If Kilee can steal pokemkns why won't you lynch her instead?

We don't know for sure how that works. The alternative is 100% guaranteeing that Sandshrew goes into Rolsand's hands, a self proclaimed 3rd party.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
Okay new plan. I'll attack Rolsand's sandshrew tonight since I have a typing advantage so I'll win. I think it best we just remove magnitude from play.

Because that's still entirely speculation. You told us you're third party, and we know you have Magnitude.
Okay my third party power isn't even that deadly; I have to initiate it if I want to win.And what happens if Kilee does steal my Pokemon or even other ones without you guys knowing?
