Mini #1022- PokeUPick(Game Over)

[Xite91]

That, or I've never played vig before and I feel for my first game doing such it's easier to be town-directed

[NicolBolas]

I did not exactly "list bandwagon". The post by gandalf perfectly addressed my concerns, while still giving the town a way to input some opinions.

And I want to see more input from others before I claim. That's why I posted that "where is everyone else?" post. Your reasoning is bad, but I don't see any scummy things about it.

[gandalf5166]

@Xite: Yeah, don't really like it considering it doesn't seem like an RVS vote.
Preview Edit: I think that he may have allowed it purely since it was Eevee. I also dislike Xite's claim, but I believe it until I have reason to do otherwise. We'll know from the kills tonight. If there are two kills, he's telling the truth, barring an SK. Of course, only one kill does not mean that he must be scum. That said, I have a question for Xite. What is your kill flavor?
Preview Edit 2: NB claim now. As town, you should have no reason to wait to claim. Waiting just opens a whole bucket of WIFOM.

[jimfinn]

I'm sneasel; hence the ice punch.

[Prox]

Meh. Too much claiming.

@Nicol: why do you believe my reasons for voting you were bad?

[NicolBolas]

Fine, I'll claim my name.

I'm Gengar.

It was bad reasoning becase there is no such thing as a list bandwagon.

[Prox]

idea bandwagon.

So why did you wait to claim?

[gandalf5166]

Wow, scum caught already? Sneasel isn't from Gold and Silver, is he? And yeah, why the hell did you wait to claim?

[NicolBolas]

I waited because I felt that it was too soon to claim. Only 6 people had posted at that point, 5 of which supported and one aganist. I felt it would be better to get the others' input first on that issue, but after everyone claimed, then it was kind of too late for what I wanted, so it was pointless for me to wait any longer.

Preview edit: sneasel is from gold and silver. Pretty hard to get, but that pokemon is in that series.

[Prox]

you can't look at a player's name to determine his alliance, hopefully.

Besides, many prank-loving Gengars frolick around the Pokemon world.

Nicol's reason for lateclaiming is weak.

[gandalf5166]

Oh, okay. I didn't play all the way through gold, so I guess I wouldn't know. Plus a wiki told me that he didn't come in until Ruby. Problem was, the wiki ignored any games before Ruby and Emerald. >.<

[Xite91]

Alright

Well, I am the Water Type
Each night I get to choose one player to do water-type damage to (Vig)
Which is why I wanted to claim, I want it to be town directed, and I don't think the doc should worry about me, the kill still goes through if I'm NK'd, and I'm sure there's better PR's to protect.

This pretty much summed it up without quoting it, which is not something I plan to do

[jimfinn]

Sneasel is #215 National Dex and thus G2 (for those not knowing the shorthand, it first appeared in gold and silver and crystal). One of my personal favorites (as it always killed my Alakazam haha), so I decided to choose it.

[NicolBolas]

I played almost every pokemon game that came out, but didn't watch any cartoons.

This is a good question- what is everyone's pokemon knowledge?

Yeah, I kind of realize I didn't have any good reason to withold my claim. Too late to do anything about it. At least I did claim.

[Xite91]

Eh, I love the show as a kid, watched a lot of it, played a few of the games, then got banned from it altogether (Uber christian mom), then when I moved out, got back into it. I'm re-playing fire red now too

[Xite91]

Although, now that I think about it, this won't really do much good since it only has to do with setup spec. and gaming the mod... Why do I not think of these things BEFORE I post???
Nicol, is what is your reasoning for asking?

[Prox]

Oh, okay. I didn't play all the way through gold, so I guess I wouldn't know. Plus a wiki told me that he didn't come in until Ruby. Problem was, the wiki ignored any games before Ruby and Emerald. >.<

What kind of pokemon wiki do you use????

bulbapedia is the best, imo.

xite is basically confirmed town for claiming a confirmable PR.

Can we focus our attention away from the pokemon fanboy orgy here for a second? At least random vote.

I'd bet that I know the most about the pokemon games from gen 3 to 4 than all ofyou, but that's beside the point. Knowledge about pokemon here does little more than verify claims and encourage off-topic convos.

[gandalf5166]

I have gotten all 150 pokemon in the original red/green/yellow games. And if you don't like that I call blue Pokemon Green, too bad. Other than that, not much. I watched the cartoons occasionally as a kid. And I got to like, the third gym in silver/gold. Also played the TCG a lot(this was back in Jungle and Fossil). That's why I picked Wigglytuff, she was always my favorite card. Also, I can sympathize with the uber Christian mom problem. Let me guess: Her racist self thought that the Pokemon represented Japanese demons? Not a personal experience, but one of many of my friends. And Xite, answer my question: what is your kill flavor? Also, I used Bulbapedia.

Nicol, is what is your reasoning for asking?

It was already established that he wants to appear useful.

@gandalf: is the reason I got no flavor because I was a quick sub-in?

[jimfinn]

Note to those asking regarding knowledge of flavor:

I was a pretty serious fan of the show and played the games extensively through blue, silver, gold, crystal, ruby, sapphire, and especially emerald. I also played mystery dungeon red rescue team and explorers of time, and read a handful of the comics. Got elite four or further on all; logged nearly 250 hours of play time on emerald and counting.

As far as the game goes, is anyone questioning that sneasel is a reasonable choice?

[Espeonage]

Dude I have seen a dementor and a patronus on the same team so anything is possible. I'm the Magikarp Salesman btw.

[jimfinn]

I was just asking if I was being attacked for my choice of character.

[Xite91]

Alright

Answered it twice.

This was about the flavor I can give without quoting it completely

There ya go.
Also, yes partly that, and partly (because I was getting into the card game) because she felt I was too impressionable and liable to get obsessed lulz

[Prox]

Oh wow. I'm going to apologize for the seriousness. The late night does weird things to me..

[Espeonage]

hey Gandalf. You can get the 151. Transfer them all to one game so you can start a new one just to get mew. There are guides online.

Also VOTE: gandalf
