Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The place is the challenger sea mountain, the top of an underwater mountain. A complex beneath the sea. A hundred men and women live here. Each of them, a scientist pioneer. For this is our last frontier, a hostile environment which may hold the key to -*kzzt*
"Captain Murphy....with all due respect, could you stop watching the employee introductory video tell us why you summoned us here?"
"Oh! Well...well I thought we could all use a break from our hard work and came up with a game for us to play."
Of course. Murphy had summoned the crew there for an "urgent matter" after all.
"*sigh* Of course. I know I'm going to regret asking this, but what kind of game."
"We assign code names to everyone in this room anonymously, and vote out one code name every day to spend the rest of the game in our detention facility."
"...you mean just take them out of the game, right?
"No, no. Our detention facilities need to be utilized. Their lack of use means that crime aboard sea lab is running rampant!"
"...you do realize the crew members here perform vital jobs for the operation of Sealab? And that they can't do those if they're in detention?"
".......I vote for Quinn."
"That's not my codename."
"Hmm...true."
"..."
"..."
"...does it start with a "k"?"
"...you haven't given me one yet."
"Well then I vote for Quinn."
"..."
"Uh, guys? We actually do have a problem now."
"A problem greater than ensuring democracy occurs?"
"...yeah. Sure. While you two were chatting an uncleared submarine just deposited a group of men into the water outside Sealab, who then forcefully entered through the diving bay. We have unknown intruders inside of Sealab."
This is a mini-phala designed for 25 players based on the Sealab 2021 series.
Source Material
The best source is probably on the adult swim website. There are always a few episodes there, and which ones are available change periodically. A few other clips of the show are there. Wikipedia has some interesting bios of the characters.
It should be stressed that knowing the source material is not necessary, and may even hinder players who are too heavily reliant on it.
I still highly recommend checking it out, as it's a funny show and may make the nightly narrations more enjoyable.
Rules
Every day, everybody may vote in bold red
for someone to be imprisoned in detention for the rest of the game. Vote close is at 22:00 EST (03:00 GMT), regardless of if I post a vote closed message or not. Actions and votes made at or before 21:59 EST on the forum's clock will count.
Standard phalla rules: No anonymous contact, no usage of screen shots to prove things, no direct quoting of your role PM (paraphrasing is allowed), one "ghost post" with no game information is allowed after you die, do not talk to dead players about the game, play nice, etc. Editing vote posts is allowed if you edit it within five minutes, otherwise you should make a new vote post. Note that other players may not appreciate editing vote posts even though I'm ok with it. Do not change a vote post into a post without a vote, or delete a post, under any circumstance. Send me an invite to any proboards you may create for the purpose of discussing the game.
Activity Requirements: Two posts a day and a vote. Note that your vote post counts as one of your required two posts. Missing this one day will get you a warning, missing this twice could get you replaced or killed. A lot of unfortunate circumstances can occur in Sealab...
This will be a fairly standard village vs mafia phalla, with maybe a twist or two. Maybe.
Clarifications should be made in orange
Clarifications archive
Spoiler:
Order of actions is the standard order. The vote trumps all, order is otherwise designed so that abilities work as they are designed (IE: guards before vigs, etc.)
There is no trickle down on the vote.
Village Role PM
Spoiler:
You are a Sealab crew member!
Alignment:Village
You are a relatively normal Sealab crew member. Hailing from pods 4, 5, and 6 (we don’t talk about pods 1-3 anymore), you normally try to avoid the antics of Captain Murphy and the other mostly disturbed staff of the main pod. You generally avoid that pod…it’s safer that way. However, these intruders are a serious threat, and the Captain seems to have forgotten to hire a proper security force for the lab, leaving you no choice but to work with them in order to save Sealab.
Victory Condition: Prevent the destruction of Sealab by eliminating the threat posed by the environmental terrorists.
Sign up in bold lime. Sealabby role playing is highly encouraged, especially with your signup text.

"He can drink a river of blood and not burst"..."He can swallow a desert and never thirst"
The OP has been updated with two clarifications I figured would be asked (vote trickle and order of actions), as well as some source material, including a link to adult swim's website where they host a few different Sealab episodes, changing periodically. Finally, I added a blurb about activity requirements.
Egos also is credited for making my current avatar.
It's still an option. But not required unfortunately.
Yeah, it's a coin toss now most of the time. People have learned to fear me!
Good thing my coin has two heads!!!
On heads we vote out Samurai.

Oh man, if you can grab me a snapshot of Chopper Dave, that'd be sweet, I may make Sparrow Dave, or Chopper Sparrow, whichever works better.
this includes: Chopper Dave and other minor characters.
I have dvds + screengrab. so anything odd
otherwise I'll post about 25+ later.
