Pokemon Battles {Mafia}

Is my ability a passive?

[Chara]

Lickitung fakeclaim:

4 HP 0 ATK 0 DEF 0 EVA (same as Inkay, Lickitungs stats are not standout since it's a gimmick mon like Inkay)

Ability: Oblivious
During battle: Ignore increases and decreases to your stats

Moves: Lick
At the start of battle: Your attack has a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent.
30% is low enough it could feasibly have never happened if you have to claim.

I'm not great at fakeclaims but this follows Alisae's pattern here as far as I can tell, it's up to you.

I imagine the town probably has those out of battle actions/effects too.

[Chara]

Is my ability a passive?

i think all of them are.

[Chara]

oh, Oblivious actually has to do with preventing attraction, not stats, but i gave it the same effect as Unaware here, which is a different ability with a similar flavour. there are other status conditions not listed but it's banking on Attraction not being one of them. i fudged it, i figure it would be reasonable for Alisae to fudge it too.

Lickitung's other ability is Own Tempo, which prevents confusion, and could also probably work if you wanted to pretend to be immune to confusion.

[Chara]

now that i think of it, Topsy Turvy does not make the opponent's ability Contrary. there are moves that do that sort of thing but nothing unique to Inkay.
i'm not sure how it would go over but you could claim ignorance on why your ability is spreading around.

I FOUND THIS

[Vaxkiller]

Huh?

[Chara]

so far this game feels like it's going to proceed at a normal pace, with deadlines twice as fast a normal game.
i...

think

that's good for us?

[Momrangal]

It took me too long to find it.

Also, I would give it till tomorrow to see the true pace of activity. Also activity can flux

[Momrangal]

I don't think we actually need safe claims? From the looks of things, it should be impossible to tell who's what from role alone

[Chara]

yes, the roles aren't AI, Vax only considered a safeclaim so he could have a claim while infecting other players with Contrary.

[Momrangal]

Oh that makes sense

[Chara]

i make sense, rarely.

[Chara]

it's only occurred to me now that i've just bussed you without really thinking about it. i'm not sure if turning my brain off before i post is the best idea, this is why i only make sense rarely.

[Twins Akari and Mara]

Pfttt lol

I may bus back but if either of us gets lynched, the other comes off looking better.

That said, I don't want to get lynched before Akarin gets a chance to post and play

[Momrangal]

Mmm

@mod

Do we still have our NK?

[Alisae]

Ywall have a factional kill and can talk here at any time.

[Momrangal]

Is contrary only active during battle?

Why can't my ability be used in secret?

A+ reading from mara head

[Momrangal]

I think it may be safer to ask the mod for a safe claims since we don't actually know what pokemon are in use. By making our own fake claim, we run the risk of using someone else's poke.

We could do also do a flavor spin on suction cups or infiltrator

[Chara]

i find it pretty unlikely someone else is using Lickitung. :>

[Vaxkiller]

jjh is slowpoke prolly

I know a few pokemon!

[Twins Akari and Mara]

They are slackoth lolol

Sorry vax, you were the last one I wanted to lose, you have an amazing ability.

[Vaxkiller]

It's ok. Hopefully pushing you gets u some cred. I doubt there time to get out of this.

[Twins Akari and Mara]

Use the lickatounge fake, also do like an rb thing at night

[Twins Akari and Mara]

At night: if you visit a person, they are unable to move for that night
