Day 4 recount complete! Original tallies added up to -2 and -5, respectively.

MYSTICAL POWER DIVISION
Tyranitar 76
Oshawott 26
Yveltal 17
Froakie 10
Corvisquire 9
Oricorio 5
Numel -14
Polteageist -15
Darumaka -43
Timburr -71

Tyranitar (+3), Oshawott (+4), Froakie (-1), Numel (-2), Polteageist (+1), Timburr (-3). Oshawott was missing 2 points and the rest is the rest is Ulti's vote.

MIRROR SHOT DIVISION
Volcarona 80
Cloyster 43
Clefable 23
Machoke 4
Shieldon 0
Grotle -15
Volcanion -19
Uxie -22
Kakuna -23
Lickilicky -71

Cloyster (+1), Clefable (+2), Machoke (+4), Grotle (-2), Kakuna (-3), Lickilicky (+3). Kakuna falls below Uxie and Machoke beats Shieldon straight up instead of needing a tiebreaker. Uxie was missing a point and Machoke was missing 4 and the rest is Ulti (he gave Uxie -1, so Uxie ended up with the same score anyway)

I think half of day 3 and all of day 4 still needs to be recounted - other than that I will be able to tally recent days soon!

I did both divisions Day 3, I just didn't post Power Trick because it was exactly the same as Aria's original tally

start the fire

I did a recount of Day 3. I got the same results for Power Trick and mostly the same for Morning Sun, although I have Seel -43 and Terapagos -10, which totals to 0 instead of -6 as it did originally

Morning Sun
Haunter 66
Shedinja 33
Gastly 11
Seadra 11
Archen 4
Scovillain -9
Terapagos -10
Morpeko -31
Iron Crown -32
Seel -43

Interestingly, Ulti did vote this day but I had to throw both out anyway, as he gave Huntail both -1 and -3 in Power Trick, and his +3 to Greninja in Morning Sun who is not in this division! He probably meant Shedinja, I guess? However, he did +1 Seadra and -1 Gastly, so if you want to use those results that would break the tie. Nothing else really changes

I remember a bunch of stuff about Sonic in Melee, like if you put the game in Japanese and went to name entry, Sonic would show up as an autopick name eventually, which was supposed to be a hint or something. I remember spending like 10 minutes looking for it lol

With stuff like Mew under the truck, Sonic in Melee, Nuclear Ghandi etc. you can actually try this stuff yourself in the game. Even the blowing in cartridges thing (which I also don't think really fits) you can try it and see if it actually works. But you can't test out the Madden curse, it was just a superstition people had. I think that's where the line is for me.

Yesmar_ posted...

I didn't want to start an argument in the main topic, but do the EGM April Fools' pranks really count as urban legends? I'm not saying an urban legend can't have an identifiable source, but if 90% of us could tell you exactly where they came from, that doesn't seem particularly "folkloric." I can't speak for the others because they were from before my time, but did Sonic and Tails being in Melee ever really get that divorced from the source?

I didn't know the Sonic and Tails thing came from there actually.

While we're on the subject, the reason I don't think the Madden Curse should count is because it's a superstition, like ghosts or something. For example, Nuclear Ghandi is very believable and in fact was implemented in later games. EA couldn't just decide to start including the Madden Curse. Also, it didn't affect the games themselves, it "affected" players in real life.

Maybe I misinterpreted the prompt but I don't feel like a curse on real life players is in the same vein as the other stuff.

I think the kid trainers pay you from their allowances. I'm pretty sure at least one trainer in the series mentions this but I could be mistaken. The adult trainers probably have regular jobs, and in fact a lot of them have their trainers type determined by their profession. Roark works in the mines, Lenora runs the museum, etc. I assume the kid trainers also get money by beating adults with jobs.

Grand_Kirby posted...

After all, the money spent at Poke Marts doesn't go back into the pockets of the various Trainers you fight.

Not entirely true. You can sell nuggets and such, which I assume other trainers find along their journey as well.

Where there's a will, there's a way

If Aria has them blocked they can't see the topic anyway

Looks like the eliminations were still right at least

Also if you'd like I'm willing to do a separate count and send it to you for double checking

Are people this incapable unless I think lmao lol because maybe isnt plastered all over everything?

well it would be nice to include I think but more important just an explanation of why you changed your mind. Otherwise it looks like you're just making stuff up

Pollard to the Titans, I'm okay with that

For some reason my first thought upon seeing this was "Bernard Pollard is still in the league?"

I do it sometimes actually. I would probably be better at the game if I did it more-- a lot of times I'm kicking myself like "hey you had a great idea here why did you let it go"

yeah same. I totally forgot I was suspicious of FD earlier in the game, and then JC said something in our chat about him being town and I was like "yeah that sounds good" and never really considered him scum again after that. I also called Ulti town early based on my peaf reread but didn't stick to it. Actually my reads were pretty darn good overall except for Chris and I only got into trouble when I started to doubt them

Ulti I really think you could also explain yourself a little better when you change your mind. Instead of going from "let's triple kill" to "anyone suggesting triple kill is scum", maybe say "I thought about it more and I think triple kills aren't good for town because ___" and it would feel like a much more natural progression of thought

UltimaterializerX posted...

This finally reminded me to actually make a word file and save it for future reference instead of just typing it out from memory.

Ulti is scum. 100%. This is Hangut.

Ulti was Town Vanilla.

Nothing Ulti is doing makes any sense. He has to be scum. At the very least, hes lying about his role. -ctes

Ulti was Princess Peach, Town Clairvoyant.

Ulti is not a town vanilla with hidden conditions in his role PM that he could have possibly figured out ahead of time. -FD

Ulti was Jones, Town Even Night Vanilla/Watcher, which was hinted at in the role PM and he was the only one who figured out this game condition ahead of time.

I am an Ulti Whisperer, and he is absolutely scum here. -Lopen

Ulti was Leonardo DiCaprio, Town Vanilla.

No one date Kirby. Its my official t1p1 gut read this game. - Ulti

Kirby has been eliminated from the game. He was:

TOWN Vanilla - Sydney Sweeney

The old godfather + miller routine does not match this scum role, because the cop probably also scans a room and gets a similar result. You cant really fit g+m in with the wording. I would bet my entire reputation on Lea being scum. She is not a miller. - Ulti

Lea has been eliminated from the game.

She was: TOWN Miller - Zack Morris (Saved by the Bell)

At some point you guys need to stop assuming Lopen is being dumb chaotic town and just kill him.

Seriously, go read the kingmaker game. This is the exact same playbook. - Ulti

Lopen has been eliminated from the game!

He was: TOWN Vanilla - Boa Hancock (One Piece)

Sultan specifically is lock town and I do not want him touched. I feel like I can soul read him. This isnt reading like scum spew at all. - Ulti

Sultan was: SCUM Godfather - Taylor Swift

Tidus

tbh we probably win if we just let me blow up Chris and Sultan D3

Second division was tough to give out minuses, only really dislike Mandibuzz. I could see everything else getting a plus in the right division

I wanted to borrow Tales of Symphonia from my best friend in elementary school, so he brought it to school one day but just put the disc in his backpack without a case for some reason and it broke into several pieces. Then I bought him a new copy for his birthday, but never ended up borrowing it or playing it until over a decade later. Whenever I think of ToS, I remember that absolutely bone-headed decision (who is still my best friend to this day)

So if we kill Sultan Day 3, then assume Lopen dies next and the NKs remain the same we get

1. Mzero
2. Chaeix (JC)
3. Isquen
4. FD
5. Ulti
6. Dumey
7. Kirby

let's say Kirby and Ulti still die next and Dumey and JC get NK'd

MZero
Isquen
FD

I think I probably try to date Isquen in that final 3 tbh but I guess town FD surviving to final 3 wouldn't be that hard to believe

self

I have seen none of these

the only one from the last 20 years I've seen is The King's Speech because we watched in in my college Communications class

I mean technically FD wasn't in the pile when Peaf made his move

My theory was mostly right I just didn't account for the fact that FD hadn't broken up yet

I'm a little disappointed that I nailed Sultan early but he got bailed out by town playing hero even though most of the game agreed he was scummy

Game was fun though and FD
played really well. Sniping Peaf's Kirby date was gutsy

It was actually Sultan who stayed out of the end of day chaos every single time and no one seemed to notice!

Oh lmao

Huh I thought for sure I was going to be forced to choose between JC/Dumey and Sultan/Isquen

So it's JC/Dumey huh
