Welcome to Micro Meta Mafia, the (in)famous spin on Clean Slate and Pet Mods as a whole! The situation is familiar: create a micrometa, a metagame with a pool of about 30-40 Pokemon. Make sure there are ample options for teambuilding and create a fun and balanced metagame! However, there will be some factions among you who are tasked to team up and veer the meta towards unhealthy levels of offense, defense, or whatever gimmick is on their minds. Can you bring down the factions and restore order to Pet Mods?
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 players, with any other signups reserved for substitutes.
- 10 players will not be part of a faction
- There will be 5 factions consisting of 4 players each. These will be the teams you will be collaborating with the entire game. However, no players will be told who is on their team. (Blind factions baby wooooooo)

Each player MUST JOIN THE DISCORD! (Click Here!)
Cards:
Before the game begins, each player will be shared a Google Sheet with two cards: a player card and a Pokemon card.
Player Cards
- The Player Card shows your faction, alias, Identifier, Energy count. Your faction is your team for the entire game.
- With the faction comes a faction goal, which will be a principle that will guide your submissions.
- 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 a new feature of Micrometa Mafia. 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.
- Some terms that you might find on your card:
- 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
- Until Success: This ability can be activated until it takes affect. Afterwords, it can no longer be used.
- Refills: The first use(s) of your ability costs no Energy, but will require Energy for every subsequent use
Process:
Slates will be divided into three phases: a Day phase, Night phase, and Midnight 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, meaning no Pokemon exist except the ones added in by players
- Submissions must follow these rules:
- 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 any stat to any number between 1-249
- You may change the abilities any way you want (must have 1-3 abilities)
- 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 Type: 
Abilities: Fluffy / Water Bubble / Regenerator Stats: 59 / 83 / 70 / 100 / 90 / 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 or does not follow your faction's goal, you will be notified and you must submit again.
- In order to follow a faction goal, you must fully commit to the goal. For example, if your goal is to "make a pokemon good on stall", a defensively frail Pokemon with Heal Bell will not count.
- 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: 1) Your submission 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.
- You may have a maximum of 3 Wild Pokemon throughout the game.
- If you wish to use your Pokemon's ability, please state so in the Google Form under the appropriate question. Use the format "Pokemon@Alias"
- If your ability targets a user, target the alias of the user you wish to affect (ex. "Incineroar@Florian")
- If your Pokemon has a passive ability, there is no need to enter anything in the form for your ability.
- You may only use one non-passive ability per day.
Nights
Night phases consist of voting for submissions to be added to the metagame. This phase lasts 24 hours.
- 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. To do this, simply post another vote, do not delete or change your old votes! If you do so your vote change will be ignored.
- After 24 hours, whoever has the most votes will receive 3 Energy and have their submission added to the metagame
- In the case of ties, abilities will be ignored.
- If it is still tied after abilities are ignored, all tied players will win
- The runner-up(s) for the Night (all players with the second highest amount of votes) will receive 2 Energy.
This phase is when any night actions, such as killing or protecting occur. This phase lasts 24 hours.
- 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 2 Energy to block a kill targeted at you.
- Message a GM if you wish to take any of these actions, along with any ability that might activate at Night
End Game
- A faction wins when there are two factions left and they outnumber the other remaining faction.
- Factionless players have the same win condition above, except if their players win slates 30 times, they game ends automatically and they win. This will not be publicly tracked throughout the game
- If two players from different factions are the only ones remaining, a special tiebreaking situation will be arranged.
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!
