Welcome to Micrometa Mafia, the (in)famous spin on Clean Slate and Pet Mods as a whole! This time, you will play as members of various villainous teams and create this micrometa in a tense environment where everyone is their own faction. The secret is that each of you have a secret aspiration in life that you want to achieve. Make allies and uneasy truces to help realize your goals, but be careful who you are friends with because the game can end at any time when you least expect it!
Setup:
Signups
- Before the first slate, players will sign up in the thread, similar to the process of a tournament or other forum Mafia games
- We will be taking 30-40 players, with any other signups reserved for substitutes.
Each player MUST JOIN THE DISCORD!
Cards:
Before the game begins, each player will be given a trainer identity and a Pokemon card.
Player Cards
- The Player Card shows your alias, trainer type, identifier, goal, and energy count.
- With the trainer type comes a goal, which will cause you to win the game when achieved. Some people may have similar or the same goals. Some of these goals can end the game once they are fulfilled, so be careful of who you ally with.
- The card also contains your alias, the name under which all your submissions will be listed, and any kill or ability will be targeted at that alias.
- The identifier is the passcode you will include with your submission to make sure no one submits for anyone else.
- Energy is used to determine eliminations, and can be earned through winning slates or using certain abilities. Your Player Card will keep track of your Energy count.
- Pokemon Cards show the Pokemon's ability and how many uses the ability has left.
- Vote: Votes added to your submission
- Vote Power: The value of your vote
- Passive: This ability does not need to be activated to be used
- Reveal: To make known your goal, alias, and Pokemon partner
- Defense: A conditional immunity to attacks (specified if you have it)
- All of these terms can be searched up on Discord; see below
What's new is that these cards are now integrated into Discord - no need to open Google Sheets and have problems with mobile devices (lol crater) thanks to the new bot I created:
With it you can simply type /me and /pokemon to check yourself and your pokemon at any time, with the results sent only to you to prevent leaking.
Process:
Slates will be divided into two phases: a Day phase and a Night phase.
Days
During this part of a slate, players will make submission and take ability actions. All of these will be done through the Google Form linked in the thread and Discord. This phase will last 24 hours.
Submissions
- Players must make adjustments to an existing Pokemon to add to the metagame
- Keep in mind this is, as the name suggests, a micrometa based on [Gen 9] National Dex OU mechanics, meaning no Pokemon exist except the ones added in by players
- You may only use elements usable in legitimate competitive play (no Pokestars, glitch Pokemon/moves, Stellar/Typless, etc.). If you are not sure if something can be used, please ask a GM
- You may use any of the existing 1,025 Pokemon
- You may change the typing any way you want
- You may change the abilities any way you want (must have 1-3 abilities)
- You may change the stats any way you want
- You may add or remove any moves you want
 Pokemon: Charizard Type: 
Abilities: Blaze / Gale Wings Stats: 88 / 84 / 88 / 109 / 95 / 100 Movepool Additions: Dragon Ascent, Eruption Movepool Removals: Swords Dance |
Or as bat-shit insane as:
 Pokemon: Wartortle (Not Eviolite Compatible) Type: 
Abilities: Fluffy / Water Bubble / Regenerator Stats: 59 / 83 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 58 Movepool Additions: Calm Mind, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Knock Off, Poison Jab, Shell Side Arm, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Toxic Spikes Movepool Removals: Flip Turn, Shell Smash |
- If your submission is invalid, you will be notified and you must submit again.
- If you fail to submit for a round, your vote will not count for the slate, regardless of any abilities.
- You have the chance to earn extra abilities by catching Wild Pokemon!
 | Caterpie Ability: Run Away - Does nothing. (Uses: 3) Restriction: Your submission must be Flying-type. |
- At the beginning of each slate, a Pokemon will be presented with a restriction.
- In order to catch this Pokemon, your submission must follow that restriction. Additionally, you must bid an amount of Energy on the Google Form.
- Whichever players follow the restriction and bid the most amount of energy acquire the Pokemon. This will not be announced. Anyone who did not gain the Wild Pokemon will keep the energy they bid.
- If you wish to use your Pokemon's ability, please use the /useability command in your PM channel in the Discord.
- If your ability targets a user or two users, make sure to use the correct parameters.
- If your Pokemon has a passive ability, there is no need to send anything to the bot.
- You may only use one ability per day.
Nights
Night phases consist of voting and night actions. Voting will be open for 12 hours, and night actions will be open for 12 more after that.
Voting
- Vote for a user's submission by posting their alias in the thread.
- You may change your vote an hour after posting your previous vote. Simply post another vote, do not delete or change your old votes! If you do so your vote change will be ignored.
- In the case of ties, abilities will be ignored.
- If it is still tied after abilities are ignored, all tied players will win
- After voting is completed and energy is awarded, users may take Night Actions, which include
- Kill: Spend 3 Energy to choose an alias and eliminate that player from the game.
- Protect: Spend 1 Energy to block a kill targeted at you.
- A player wins if they meet their goal. Winning players exit the game, and their cards and Pokemon are revealed to all players.
- If a player has a game-ending goal and wins, the game immediately ends. Anyone who has not met their goal by this time automatically loses.
- If all players with a game-ending goal die, the game ends when all remaining players win or it becomes impossible to do so.
General Rules:
- No flaming/toxicity. Even if you're right and they're stupid, keep it professional.
- No screenshots of private messages between players or hosts.
- If you are not active (no submission, activity in Discord, voting) during the first slate, you will be subbed out immediately.
- If you wish to privately message another user, please invite at least one GM into the chat.
- If you wish to leave the game, do not hesitate to let a GM know. Do not break purposefully break a rule to get purposefully disqualified.
- Baiting anyone into breaking any game or forum rules will be punished as severely as if you had broken the rule yourself.
- Pretending to break any game or forum rules will be punished as severely as if you had broken the rule yourself. (e.g. pretending to copy/paste a fake Role)
- And of course, please follow all Smogon guidelines for using the forum and Discord!
