I Choose You, ToonyMan!
Guuugh. Uuggaaaaahhhhhhh

UewaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajhhhhhh

Okay I'll admit everything, the pressure is too much!!

I am A Lifeguard One Day From Retirement.

I keep watch of the public item pool so I know which players try to take from it.

Once per game I can prevent the mafiakill at night under certain conditions.

Twice per game I can target three players at night and see who they targeted.

I have a night auto as well that is also an action which I won't say, so double actions at night are definitely possible.

Also I made all of this up because I thought it would be funny.

Okay actually I made up like 90% of this. The public item pool is definitely real and double actions at night should be possible.

Well, I know double Actions are possible because I can double Action (with only a slight limitation).  Basically, my Actions are... kinda weak in comparison, but I can do a bunch of them.

Part of why I'm fishing is because my role feels like a support role for other, cooler roles, and understanding how to combine those into an advantage is how real Pokemon Trainers do it!

Also, because I expect to be Mafiakilled, and my only chance for survival is to do shit like this 24/7.

By the way, does anyone happen to have an ability they really really really don't like?

Yes, the mafiakill.

Wait, did you mean on my role? Not really.

Yeah, none of my Abilities are negative.  They seem to synergize with or counter other people's roles.  I assume the counters are for the Mafia and the synergies are for Town, but who can say?  I can't.

Okay, you got me.

I am The Forceful Sentry.

Thrice per game during the day I can take an item from the public item pool right away.

At night I can target a player to learn of every item (if any) they have and select one to toss into the public item pool.

Twice per game at night I can target a player and steal a random item from them, unless I name a specific item which I will take instead.

As well as an additional night auto I won't claim.

...

Yep. That's me.

None of my abilities are negative either.

@Tricmagic and Maximum Spin it looks like you guys have been pretty active on the subforum since I've been away. How would you say that your playstyles have changed since the last time we played together?
My first reaction was "we ever played together?" but then I looked at your post history and discovered that you were in Fallacy's beginner game back in 2018 where I was mafia and got inspected n1 by someone who said he wanted to confirm me as town because I was so helpful d1. You specifically didn't believe my desperate claim that I was framed because you didn't think it was likely that there could be a framer in the setup, but I was one.

Since then, I have changed my playstyle by being much less helpful and townie day 1 so it doesn't happen again.

Maximum Spin: Do you have a Deception module currently installed?
Yes, but I promise not to use it.

Oh wow.
I really didn't intend to sign up for Fallacy's Eternal Mafia II: This Time It's Personal :P
Don't make me make that a real thing.
That one hits different after MVM5. :P

@Max:
That character backstory explains so much. I now understand your development arc. I will add it to my collection.

@Toony:  Want a Lum Berry?  Because that's my only Item, come get it, bark bark bark...

*sigh* It's just not as fun to bark at people without 4maskwolf...

Please don't spam the thread to death this game. Looking at you, Toony and Web.



Early claim from Tric is usually town-indicative. +town equity.

This would be an unusual opening from scum!NQT; they'd usually lurk in a game this big. +town equity.


I can confirm that both On Fire and Soaked status effects exist this game. Bit of a fire/water theme.

Quick post before I go to sleep.

@NJW: I don't think that this game will get as chaotic as BYOR 15, and I think that we should be able to handle any mechanical shenanigans that get thrown our way with some coordination

I also think that whatever mechanical shenanigans arise, we should still focus on the day game, since that's our best tool for funding scum

Yes, my Flareon also has access to a certain status condition.  Does it do anything for you?  Because it literally doesn't look like it does anything for me, hence the confusion.
Odd. And yeah, it does do something. It kills people. Not much way to pretty that point up.

... Wonder if anyone else has the ability to set it off. Well, maybe mafia will try to kill me, but unlikely given nearly everything I do sets people on fire.
Your Action... Kills People???

I'm gonna spitball here:  Does it only kill them if they're already On Fire?  I don't see a way for my Action to work otherwise.

Also, that makes me fairly certain that TricMagic is Town as well.

That would be a yes of the fire front.
