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!

When you spill your guts to a mafia member and they go "Okay okay, I trust you. I really have my suspicions about so-and-so though", and you become a mafia puppet for the entire game, you learn a great deal about how people interact with you and behave in those situations.
Now, you'll also become about a billion times more paranoid about every offer of help, but that's phalla!
The more you talk the better you'll get at it! Don't post less than you want to because you're worried about looking suspicious, or making incorrect assumptions. Mafia or Village, the game is enriched by every post in the thread, so keep talking!
[edit] INANTP has the right idea. Just ask Cythraul how fun it can be!
I may not be as prolific in my posting as facetious, but I do tend to think out loud a bit in my posts. Not trying to "blend in" or anything - just trying to say something when the thread seemed unusually silent.
Yeah sorry, I meant people have already brought up suspicions, so he probably will get some votes.
Actually I'm at lunch now I'll post a longer thing in a minute.
Um, this seems to imply that tmoiy had this happen to him. Is this public knowledge from a previous phalla, or accidentally leaked information about this one?
or when I used Jaysonfour in the brass phalla
or when kime used virgil and void for their masoned guard in the science game (tmoiy was in that group but he died day one)
Actually there a few people I think are just blending in. I'd normally call them out as is my wont to get them talking, but in this case I don't know if it's because people are just new or whatever. But speak up, people!

I can't defend against arguments that aren't made.
edit for the below post because I don't want to triple post or edit a vote post
In addition, he doesn't appear to be in the network since he doesn't know who the vig is, which makes me doubly suspicious of his desire to know exactly who's who.
Without any other private communications I can offer little more. But I will say that perhaps we should look to the least experienced - people such as Tmoiy and MrTlicious and TheScruple - those who say little and offer cluelessness. We've gained nothing by targeting those among us who are vocal and confident, as well as losing some to the mafia.

Because we are working blind right now. I say "what about this guy?" we discuss it, maybe toss a few names around, and in the end, we end up with you.
MrTLicious, Tmoiy, and Turkson are also on my suspicious persons list (which includes everybody).
I dunno Taya, if I'm wrong them I'm sorry, but I can only say what I'm thinking.
Also I have to go to work ugggggh.

This kinda feels like LA Noir the text adventure. I am pretty bad at reading faces, but at least it's something!
I hope you know what you are doing Kingmole, reel in a big one!
Discussion is what drives a successful village. Don't assume anyone knows more than you. In this game in particular, they have little more experience (or less) than you.
This. Just remember that playing Phalla is all about having fun. Don't get me wrong, I love me some heated debating, and winning is good too, but if people are just throwing insults around, or are scared to do anything for fear of getting killed/yelled at/whatever, well, you're sort of missing the point. Be bold!
Thread has been very quiet today. My gut feeling is that INANTP is probably not mafia; I do trust the network head, but at this point the wagon hardly needs me on it anyway. So I'll vote Turkson in the hopes of stirring up a little discussion. Neither he nor 38thDoe have posted today at all, and that seems very strange. If you're a special, sorry for blowing your cover, I guess.
He's trying to deflect onto me. Die mafia scum die. And I'm always quiet, but I'll agree that I'm being too quiet in this game.
After initially voting for INANTP, his posts make a lot of sense. I have a handful of other suspicions: I too was PMed by Taya, so it seems she's PMed everyone, looking to connect, maybe give advice. Facetious is easily the most verbose when he's around, but I can't get a read on him there's so much noise. 38thdoe and Turkson are 2 of the 3 most experienced players left, and had been completely MIA today (until just now as I was typing this). I think SlyM was the first player who voted for each of the eventual villagers voted out, which could just be coincidence.
With 2 pending votes, if I counted correctly, plus any late movement, moving my vote would put us in danger of a tie between INANTP and Turkson. Edit: if I moved to Turkson, that is.
I hate being indecisive and paranoid, I have no idea how some of you can play more than one of these at a time.
Edit: refreshing the page ate my draft...
