i've never looked better.

[Firebringer]

HI CHARA!

[Chara]

hello Fire!

[Alisae]

hello Chara!

[Firebringer]

chara is the coolest

[Vaxkiller]

Hi all

[Akarin]

I like how dapper we look.

[Twins Akari and Mara]

So did you know that Hyper Fang is something like "certain-death tooth" in the Japanese games?

[Vaxkiller]

I look like a super mario character

[Chara]

hello everyone.
Inkay's ability can't really be used in secret, unfortunately.

[Vaxkiller]

Is contrary only active during battle?

Why can't my ability be used in secret?

[Chara]

from my reading it's a day ability.

and it can be used in secret, but massclaim is inevitable and unless you can fakeclaim a different species, Contrary would be unique to you.
i suppose it's more accurate to say it'd be difficult to keep it secret if there are flavorcopping mechanics in play/the town ends up being open with species/move use.

[Chara]

Topsy Turvy is unique, i mean.

whereas my rolecop doesn't leave a trail besides the visit, and is much more generic.

[Chara]

anyways i joined this game for Pokemon shenanigans so i'm gonna play it by ear regardless. i think the random factor of battles means we focus on dayplay, but assuming i can both roleblock and use Intimidate on the same night we do have some power.

i'd have no idea how to use Topsy Turvy, but it looks fun and you can nuke abilities with it so it might be worth the risk.

the Twins Rat Power is pretty good if the opponent has shit evasion, since it forces evading.

i forget if this game only has us vs. opponents or if there are PvP battles.

[Vaxkiller]

Yea I would like to use it to nuke some ppl, can you guys help me with a good fake claim? I can only name maybe a few dozen pokemon.

[Chara]

depends on what's public. your Contrary ability and your move are both unique to Inkay (as a main ability anyway), so that makes things tough.

what were your other picks?

i could probably come up with a reasonable fakeclaim, it'd depend on if stat changes and the like are public knowledge.

[Chara]

hey Alisae, during the twilight battle, will the moves everyone used be public knowledge?

i think they are, they definitely would be known to your opponent when you battled a player.

my only thought would be fakeclaiming a move you wouldn't want to use. something like Explosion (kills you but does a lot of damage) or Perish Song (kills you and your opponent but is delayed) might work, you could say you're saving it for a sort of bomb/vengekill.

but it's also not provable, and town would be looking for the player responsible for Contrary.

[Alisae]

no

[Chara]

hm, okay. so theoretically, Vax could use his move in a battle and it wouldn't be visible to amyone else?

that makes things easier.

[Vaxkiller]

Cool.

I had the mod pick my pokemon.

Otherwise I would have ended up with lickatounge... for lulz

[Chara]

alternatively: just use it willy nilly and take refuge in having fun and using it on players who aren't obviously town.

i should be back for gamestart.

pedit: i wish you'd picked lickitung.

did you know mawile can eat with either mouth? it can't taste with the large one, though, so it uses that to eat foods it doesn't like.
