A wide, circular space; a concrete floor lined with barred cages. Cold floodlights far above activate suddenly. In the shadow beyond those lights the buzz of a crowd swells to a roar, as a magnified voice echoes throughout the stadium.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, a very warm welcome to tonight's Pokemon Death Match!
The betting booths are currently open, and if you turn your attention to the display screens, you will shortly be able to see tonight's participants, who will soon be released.
This tournament features twelve participants: Nine challengers, trying to beat the odds and survive, and, hidden among them, three kiiiiiiiiiiiiiillleeer pokemon!!"
The crowd roars again, the echoing noise is overwhelming. It doesn't sound human.
"Details of the individual participants are included in the programme of tonight's events, and will be shown on the display screens and at the betting booths. You can place your bets now, ladies and gentlemen. Why not see if you can get rich off those lucky early odds?
You can place your bets on any of the phases: First is the battle phase, where the participants fight it out to eliminate one pokemon from the tournament: Will the challengers successfully eliminate the killers? Or will they fight among each other? After the battle phase comes the action phase: Participants return to their cages, where the killer pokemon are loose to remove a participant permanently. Who will the killers target? Will the target fight back? Will any of the challengers try and swing the odds in their favour with a cunning strategy?"
This is a Game of Forum mafia. Please don't post here unless you've been directed here from the Sign Up Board. Or Personal Message
direct any queries you may have to the the the General Discussion and Administration Pages.
Rules
1. JoeSapphire Moderates this game. Contact him with game actions, queries, suggestion, praise, enthusiasm, corrections, et cetera.
2. The game is split into two phases - The Battle phase, and The Action phase. During the voting stage players may write on the page, and target a player with their attacks. The aim of an attack is to achieve elimination of a single player. Once the majority of current players are targeting a single player with their attacks, that player will be eliminated. Then the battle phase will end and the action phase will begin. During the action phase no players may write on this page. The action phase ends once the deadline has been reached, and the battle phase will begin again.
3. Attacks should be phrased thusly: Tackle HypersomniacLive. If you want to stop attacking a player, it should be phrased thusly: Untackle HypersomniacLive. (To suit the game, I'm replacing the typical 'votes' with 'attacks'. In function they are exactly the same, and if everybody decides that attacking it too much of a confusing faff, 'votes' will be counted in the same way. A variety of attacks will be allowed: For example - Tail Whip Bler144, Growl Cristigale, Pound Telika, Ungrowl Cristigale.) Each player may attack any other living player. A player may attack only one player at a time. An attack may be withdrawn by unattacking. A player who is being attacked by the majority of living players will be immediately eliminated, their role will be made public knowledge, and the game will go to the action phase.
A player may also vote no elimination. A majority vote of no elimination will end the battle phase without an elimination.
4. When you are eliminated or killed, you are out of the game - stop posting.
5. Don't edit your posts for any reason. Learn to love typing errors and ambiguous grammar!
ALSO Do not post multiple times without leaving a break of 10 minutes between posts.
6. Please bold any requests for battle updates or questions to the moderator.
7. Everything within the game should happen on this page, in messages to the moderator or in any pages specified in your role message from the moderator. Do not discuss the game outside the thread.
8. Do not quote or paraphrase too closely any PMs you receive from the mod.
9. All players should post at least once every 36 hours. If you expect to be away for more than 36 hours, please let JoeSapphire know either through PM or in the game thread.
10. All players on the winning team win! even if they are eliminated or dead.
If you can no longer participate in the game, contact JoeSapphire with word to that effect.
Players who are modkilled or replaced out will automatically lose the game.

All players have received a role. Here is a sample role:
Growlithes are highly social creatures, who eat, sleep and hunt in large packs. In the wild, it is this that gives them their significant advantage as predators, much more so than the glands in their mouths which spray highly combustible oils, for which this species is best known. Domesticated growlithes are well-known to make loyal and faithful companions.
Hello Telika! You are Madiyah the Growlithe
Special move: Fire Spin
Team: neither Challengers, nor Killers. Your teammates are JoeSapphire and Elebutterfly
You haven't been sold to Team Rocket, and you aren't participating in a pokemon death tournament. You are far away from here enjoying time with your trainer and other pokemon friends. Life is good.
ABILITIES: Once per action phase you can target a player. That player will be removed from the game for between 2-5 turns.

The cage doors that line the arena suddenly swing open with an electronic buzz. The participants, uncertain in the gloom, confused by the noise and smells, slink into the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the participants have entered the arena. How will they leave? Will the challengers successfully Kay-Oh their hidden predators, or will they be chow for the killers' victory dinner? Betting will remain open throughout the tournament ladies and gentlemen, but the odds will change as the game progresses. Place your bets now ladies and gentlemen, and you may win big money! Good luck ladies and gentlemen!"
"The first battle phase has begun!!!!"
