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!
[DEAD THREAD] Caves of Phalla

We didn't kill you. We killed the guy who killed you. If anything, you should be on our side.

I fixed the thread title to reflect that not everyone died to Gnomish terrorism.
Yea, I went into "spot the funny" mode followed by a "What?" mode. Totally missed that glaring change. It's funnier now though.

Note to future bad guys: If you ever want to kill me because "I always seem to live into the late game," please consider that I've only lived past Day 3 twice. Thank you for your time.
I really appreciate that you missed it, it made it even better.
I remember that... you changed it because I mentioned that you always got bandwagoned due to your cartoon devil avatar. That wouldn't have stopped me from tossing you under the train though.
Ardor always lives a very long time, considering... I'd have thought that he'd be a solid Day 1'er by now.
edit; and someone still alive reads this and votes the other one off
I made such a D: face when I got the evil PM. I'm all like, "I bloody well can't change it now...".
I was worried about it pointing directly to me. I'm going to stop worrying about that now, from now on Ardor is my day 1 vote. Fuck it.

Especially since I was the living player who was supposedly cheating. Not a thing you want to see after you die, going to the dead thread and see people claim your cheating (especially since the goddamn information I supposedly got was posted in the main thread).
Anyway I left the information in my original post, because its not revealing the identities of any living players. If people want the dead thread to be more restrictive then that the OP should say so.
edit: I also know how it feels to not know what is going on behind scenes, so I will always reveal any information I have that doesn't reveal living players identities.
So yeah I was a total idiot there.
Hmm. It's either risky or brilliant. I'm not sure which.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, probably both.
Hey Grim, do you feel comfortable saying what you guys knew at the beginning of the game? I'm curious how much info you started out with.

It was the vigilante.
Ooh, if I ever get any powers like that in a Phalla, butts will literally be kicked!
Bad guy-butts, of course.
We weren't even told how many/what races there are.
Okay, politeness dictates I don't bitch about this elsewhere, so I'll do it here:
Any one of us could crap out 75% of the narrations. Google Les Mis lyrics, swap cast member names with player names. The rest are 'okay'.
- At least 25% of the players are inactive and have been such for several days.
- Not more than 25% of the results have been on time.
- The rules were and still are unclear. I still don't even think that the narrator knows them.
- The OP wasn't updated for over a week. Players have been picking up the slack.
- Nobody knew how many people they could execute for over a week...or did it change suddenly without warning?
- For the second (third?) time the results are going to be an entire day late.
- ...which is hilarious, because someone may have backed into a win and he doesn't even know for sure.
- Players are disgusted to the point of quitting. <- That is not an opinion.
(I believe the Jacobins auto-won, personally. Yay for them I guess.)
It's doubly irritating because this has locked up the rest of the games for at least a month.
'Probably', 'likely', 'alluded'.
"Huge event"?
I think we see the problem here.
I know boring old maxims aren't all that satisfying, but I'd save your comments on the game until after it's officially over. Believe me, you're not the only one who's frustrated. You didn't play in Les Phalles, so I'm pretty sure you can guess that the people who invested their time into this game are equally if not more frustrated than yourself. You don't have that much longer to wait, after all.
If I hadn't been killed off I was going to quit (I was waiting for my stonecutter to PM me back about whether or not he wanted me to reveal him.)
Why don't you all just quit as a group, then?
I said eloquent, etc. b/c I really am just casually observing. The mechanics looked complex, but at a cursory glance seemed to work, but would take a long time to execute.

I did play, on the first go-around. Once he restarted I told him I wanted out (after getting the distinct impression that it wasn't thought out completely).
What I want is to make sure that people are not going to give him a 'oh, it was a new mechanic, it was just rough around the edges' pass. If they are really more irritated (as they should be), they should not be holding it in politely and waiting for the beast to be born. It's okay to tell the narrator that he needs to shape up.
One group did, more or less, from what I understand.
The 'villagers' have no reason to quit; since they haven't been pruned for inactivity, all they have to do is sit there and let the monsters out themselves in ignorance of the rules or off each other. Despite that, I believe that a monster group may have won if only because they were marginally less confused/annoyed than the other two.
It's not right to blame the players when you don't give them clear information about how to play, their win conditions, or how to use the information they're given. They started outing each other not realizing what that meant, but I believe that's because they didn't understand the point of knowing that information (to keep the competing monster groups in check and the villagers down).
No one's going to give him that pass. If I can figure out how it works and tell him how it needs to happen, which I did several times, he should be able to do the same, as should the other players.
We were told in topic by ElJeffe to stop shitting on FS. Hence, we are not shitting on FS at the time being. That said, even he later expressed his frustrations about FS's inability to deal with the inactives. Several people are frustrated, and we are not discussing it in topic because the game is almost over and we have been told to stop getting on FS's case.
phalla noob question, what is a stonecutter?
They're sort of pre-made networks. Villagers without powers, but who know the identity of one or more other villager(s). Gives them someone they can trust from the outset.
Theoretically Evil
Sorry for bringing it up, then. XD
I never read these threads, heh. This is actually the first one I've got to take part in; every other Phalla I've been in I either made it to the end or had my neck snapped in the final narration. (curse you, cultist!)
So yeah, coincidental. Sorry if the timing seemed odd.
That all said, consider this an advertisement for the Zodiac Phalla story, coming to you after these messages!
I mean. You know. Platonically. Over the internet.
Make with the sexings.
:winky:
I've given up hoping the village wins, the inactivity is slaughtering them and those remaining don't even notice. I shall now root for Tehspectre.
Yay heart-ripping monsters!
I'd be concerned, but it's not like anyone's actually playing (except Buzz Buzz apparently).
And Buzz Buzz died night one...
