Welcome to Bring Your Own Pokemon mafia.  This is a themed BYOR, and as such you send me the name of one pokemon when you sign up for the game, and I and my co-mod, Scripten, build you a role based on your submission.

If you didn’t notice from the above comment, I have a partner in this project: Scripten!

Please maintain civility throughout the game.

Despite how early I’m putting it into signups, the game will not start until at least November 3, as I have a college visit next weekend and a lot of work this week.  I will be taking signups until November 1st, at which point I will close signups and anybody who wants to join will go on the replacement list.

The basic rules list and two spoilers blatantly stolen from Wuba.  There are also several special rules below them, which are important to pay attention to.

Basic rules:
 - No PMing to anyone but me, the mod. I won't make this an action either because PMing is stupid.
 - No Quoting of the Mod in relation to PMs. You are free to quote anything in the thread. You may also paraphrase.
 - Semi-hammers in effect. Days last on a soft 72 hours, unless majority is voting for any player or No Lynch. If a player is hammered, there is to be no more talking. If you accidentally post something after the hammer, you can and should edit out the post.
 - Nights last 24 hours or whenever all the actions are sent in. If you do not wish to action, please send a PM stating so.
 - Weekends count for 0 hours, as I enjoy my free time on them.
 - Extensions require a majority vote. This will be limited to 2 extensions per Day, because, seriously, make up your minds already. Extensions are an additional 48 hours.
 - There may be Post Restrictions. These should not interfere with gameplay.
 - I cannot answer questions about player's roles unless that player's role is available to be seen. I cannot answer questions about your role in thread. I can, however, answer generic questions. I will simply ask you to rephrase the question, if I deem the question is bad.
 - Please vote in a manner that is viewable with my poor eyesight. If I can't see your vote, I might skip it. I can't trust LurkerTracker to do my vote counts for me, but I'll at least check it for semi-accuracy. Bold and Red makes it really easy to see.
 - If I leave the thread open at Night, do not post unless you have an ability allowing you to.

Special Rules:
- Each Pokemon has two special stats: Hit Points and two types.  Hit Points determines how many points of night-and-day-action damage you can take before being eliminated from the game, while the types determine the effectiveness of aggressive actions against you.
- Most targeted actions will have a type attached to them.  This is used to determine the effectiveness of that action against the target.  This uses the standard pokemon (Gen 6) offense-defense type effectiveness, and will increase or decrease damage accordingly.  If you don’t know what the hell that means (and there probably many of you who don’t), look it up.
- Kills and protects operate differently in this game than in others: kills inflict a certain amount of damage to the opposing pokemon, while protect either block all damage or a certain amount on the targeted pokemon.  The standard mafiakill works the same way: it is a 60 damage normal-type action.  There may also be ways to heal a pokemon, which remove damage from it.
- Lynches work as they do in the rules above, and instantly remove the lynched player from the game (unless they have an ability that says otherwise).
- Some actions will have a priority level specified.  Any that do not have specified numbers are of default priority (+0).  Actions will follow the Natural Action Resolution within their respective priority slots, starting from the highest priority and going to the lowest.
- Placeholder for the first rule that I inevitably forgot.

You are not in the game until I receive a role. Also, don't under- or overestimate your abilities. And have fun! Because, honestly, that's the whole point.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Yep.  Just the name of the pokemon, though, you don't get to specify movesets or whathaveyou.

I guess I'll play, even though I have almost zero pokemon exposure. Time to look up a random name.

Super excited about this! I haven't played a ton of Pokemon since Gen II, but the series is still pretty much the same. This is going to be my first experience with any sort of modding, backup or no so it should be quite interesting.

Ah, yes, I suppose I should clarify this:

Previous experience with Pokemon is NOT required, as I will be balancing the game behind the scenes.  While it would be beneficial to look up the move type vs. pokemon type tables once you receive your role, people who know pokemon won't be given a special advantage, nor will people sending in pokemon that are normally extremely powerful.  There's a reason I stripped away all of the stats from the original concept of the game.

Don't forget Metapod. He's got very good meta powers.

In. Because I don't know when to stop!

If I figure out that I have enough time (and figure out a good Pokemon... :p), I might join. Meanwhile, just posting to watch.
