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!
Soviet Phalla - SIGN UPS CLOSED
Posts
My guess is that if you put all the participants into an alphabetical list and then grouped then by threes starting from the top...you'd get the groups we've got.
Edit:I'm slow.

Now suppose VH missed sending someone a special PM? This'd be the most frustrating phalla ever if he forgot to inform our seer.
Uh, that was fixed. Edit the first post.
I didn't make the first post. RBB did. I can't edit his post.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
Hold his children/bunnies/kitties hostage.
Make him edit it. Threaten to spit on him and stuff.
EDIT: Threaten to spit on his bunnies, too.
Soon. I'm working on narration at the moment. I think RBB was going to put together a mechanics post, but if he doesn't show up soon, I'll whip one up myself.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
I probably won't be around for game start unless I'm REALLY procrastinating. Great job in catering to the needs of the public as a whole, you capitalist pigscum!
You're playing a dangerous game, comrade.
Is this a clever freedom fighter ploy to make us dedicated socialists believe you are loyal to the cause? O_o
Sounds like it.
Well "played", comrade.
I'm getting my pick axe.
Correct as far as I can tell.
It involves leprechauns.
STAKE THE FUCKING LEPRECHAUNS, STAKE THEM NOW.....
....unless you didn't mean the leprechauns are bad Lady Eri, in that case let us know who should die.
All leprechauns and leprechaun sympathizers are to be executed on sight!
Firstly we kill the leprechauns and take their gold, then we scatter the gold around the village square and have KGB agents keep track anyone who takes any of the gold. All who have not turned the gold in to proper Party officials are killed after 24 hours for not having the Party's interests at heart. We should kill those who didn't take any gold as well, because all true loyalists should jump at the chance to hand valuables over to the Party.
'Questions' and 'confirmations' are for enemies of the state who think the people should have 'choices' and other crap.
I'm here now. Waiting on visiblehowl to post the main thread. When he does, nobody post in it until I've reserved the next two posts.
Anyway, out of town this weekend, so have fun.

That one is like a deductive robot!
Edit Hmm. As a lurker, you know what would be cool? To know the link to each really important "night" post without having to work for it.

Well your half right
And this is probably why the sign up threads are usually locked.
I only want to follow along as a lurker who posts to let you know that I'm watching along. But yeah, pretty much, I'd love to see a summarization or something to help catch me up to speed.

This post is a good summarization of what happened to Eri.
2.) Lady Eri tells everyone that they are stupid and she is wonderful and to shut up and fall in line.
3.) The network gets established. There is much rejoicing.
4.) Two specials in the network suddenly get killed by rebels. There is concern that maybe the network isn't terribly secure.
5.) Rebels kill one more special, and the village votes out yet another. Elendil tries to veto it, but is too late due to misunderstanding about the rules.
6.) Hilarity ensues. People whine about unfair rules. Other people tell these people to shut the fuck up and stop being dicks. There is a general consensus that the network is pretty much gone. Lady Eri takes her ball and goes home, and has apparently completely quit the forums.
As far as Phalla games go, it's pretty awesome, even if we're getting our asses handed to us.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
That
1) was overly dramatic
2) is something I've seen before in another context
3) , when combined with the cold logic, prior posts, and my experience with others who act online with the same patterns, pretty much confirms some suspicions I had.

Suffice to say, Lady Eri saw patterns where most of us were unable, but her inability to express it in a nicer fashion turned others off. This is classic, and I've seen it before during online experience with a number of others suffering from this condition over the years.
I witnessed this in the prior Phalla. I followed her logic, then asked her in a PM regarding possible Athan-spy "VisualHowl" (this was pre-Hades), whom any one of you would associate immediately with "VisibleHowl".
He was very active in that particular phalla, and came to proiminence right at Day 1 for his non-participation near-fiasco.
Rather than make the leap and talk about VH, she outright stated that there was no player "VisualHowl" and left it at that.
When I asked if she was an autoid, she did not respond.
That's her own business, but if so, then she's suffering from a medical condition where she (1) could not help but post in the manner in which she did and (2) would clearly KICK ASS in any phalla she played.
edit essentially, if true, it's not something to make light of, but it's also not something for her to need mention online. Welcome to the world wide web, peoples. Play nice.

She didn't blow up because she couldn't express herself properly, she blew up because people were pointing out all the ways that her plan could fail and she couldn't handle that people would discuss it publicly instead of PMing her about it, so she called everyone idiots. Never mind that she didn't really want comments, just blind acceptance (because that works so well in Phalla). Then there were the insane double-switchback tricks, where she didn't even deign to tell anyone what she was doing. After day 1 it seems she decided that telling the morons anything would be too risky.
She more or less played by herself for two days and expected the other thirty-odd people to follow along.
So, not auto-id. Ego.
