Whispers of sound float through your head. You don't remember much...a power outage? A shadow? F5?
Your eyes open and you look around you. You're lying in a large gymnasium, filled with other people. Everybody is whispering to each other; some people are shaking hands in greeting. As you get to your feet, your hand brushes against cold metal encircling your waist. Puzzled, you attempt to take a closer look at it, but the angle is weird and you can't see much. You do notice, however, that others are wearing the same thing. You are about to introduce yourself and ask someone what's going on when you hear the PA system crackle above you.
"Greetings, Phallaneers! What a pleasure it is to see you! I have looked forward to this moment for a long time.
You are all probably wondering what you're doing here. That is a good question. You see, I have found myself rather obsessed with Phalla. I enjoy it so much that I thought to myself, wouldn't it be grand if I could run a real, live Phalla? Yes, ingenious I know. So that's what you are. Allow me to explain some of the features of the technology you are currently wearing.
Around your waist, you will see a metal belt. This is unremovable. This belt is very useful. If you punch the black button on the top, you will notice that it ejects a small drawer. In this drawer, you will find an earpiece. Put the earpiece in your ear and push the yellow button on your belt; you will hear your role. I will give you a few moments to listen to this."
Rather confused, you follow the instructions, and your role is whispered into your ear. When it is finished, you shrug and take it out.
"Finished? Good! You may listen to it again if you didn't get it the first time. When you are sure you know your role, you may push the small black switch on the side of the earpiece. This will scramble the message so nobody else knows what your role is.
Now then, push the green button on your belt. You will see another drawer open, this one containing a headset. Put the headset on; this is how you will communicate your orders to us, should you have any special abilities. This is also how you transmit your vote. At any point, you may request a summary of who has voted for whom over the course of the game.
One last thing about the belt. If you are so unfortunate as to lose the vote, this will be the method of your death." A chill fell across the room. The voice chuckled over the PA. "Oh yes, we are deadly serious. If you are killed in this game, you will be killed in real life. Charming, isn't it?"
One of the people in the room yells angrily. "Fuck this shit. I didn't sign up for this. I'm not gonna play your dumbass game." Crossing his arms, he sits down in the middle of the floor, refusing to move.
"Mmmm, I see," says the voice. "So you're dropping out then?"
"Yeah, I'm dropping out!"
"Okay then. Tofu, is it? Thank you for allowing me to provide a demonstration!"
"A demonstration?" Tofu says. "A demonstration of what? I'm not giving no demonstr--"
The belt around his waist begins to beep. Tofu stares down at it in terror, and people begin moving away from him, sensing danger. The beeping increases in frequency, and Tofu gets more and more agitated. He stands up and begins scraping desperately at the belt, trying to get it off. Suddenly, the beeping stops, and a large light in the middle of the belt turns bright red. Tofu breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the others. "See? He's just bullsh--"
BOOM!
An explosion rips out of the belt, severing Tofu in half. His torso falls to the ground, and his lower body topples over. Sobbing, he tries to use his arms to move him towards his legs, but gradually his sobs subside and he lies still.
The voice speaks into the horrified silence. "See? Deadly serious. Well, I think that's all. You have the full range of this school. Don't try to escape or you're end up like Tofu here. Have fun kids!"
The PA clicks off. Nobody speaks for several seconds. Then people begin scrambling for the doors leading out of the gynasium. Not wanting to be left behind, you join one of the groups and head into the hallway.
The game has begun.

Roles:
When I say names in narration or in PMs, I am always referring to the role name. For example, if visiblehowl has the DA role, he will be referred to as DA in the narrations and in PMs. If I am referring to the actual player, I will write their name like this.

End of the Day:
The Fine Print:
- Do not communicate anonymously with other players. No screenshots of anything.
- If you are living, you may not communicate with the dead.
- If you are not playing and wish to comment on the game in the D&D chat thread, I welcome it. Out of politeness and a desire to not impact the game, though, I ask that you either follow the same guidelines as the players, or sign up to play yourself.
- If you are signing up for external boards in order to facilitate communication, please let the moderators know. We like to watch...
- Please do not share PMs unless you have been specifically told you may. Do not share the names of your roles unless you have been specifically told you may.
-Lack of participation will be judged very harshly in this Phalla. It is important to the feel of the Phalla that everybody play their role. We don't have set guidelines, but please 1) vote and 2) post several times in one day aside from your vote post. We will not give warnings, we will simply replace you. If you aren't going to be able to continue, please let us know. If you voluntarily withdraw, please PM the player who is replacing you and tell them what's up.
-If you need a clarification, please use the bold orange font.
Special Rules:
Clarifications:
2. There are 8 bad guys.
3. If you !guess someone's role, and that role doesn't exist, you are still put up for the extra execution vote the next day.
4. !Guesses may not be retracted.
5. You may only make one !guess per day.
6. You may describe your role's abilities as long as you don't reveal the name of your role.
7. Only the first !guess X is role Y counts. However, someone else may !guess X is role Z.
8. Once someone guesses a role correctly, that role can no longer be !guessed. There will be a public post about the !guesses done that day and whether they were correct or not.
9. If for any reason the 1st place vote-getter of the execution or election vote cannot win the vote (due to immunity or death), the 2nd place vote-getter will win the vote. If they can't win, the 3rd-place vote-getter will, and so on.
10. A correct !guess will protect you on the night that you !guessed.
11. Roleplaying your role is not required. However, those who roleplay the best will be rewarded. Those who roleplay the worst might find that bad things tend to happen to them.
12. The Liaison's powers begin the day after their election. Thus, there is no Liaison for Day 1. If visiblehowl wins the election today, then he will be protected from the vote on Day 2, as well as be able to veto the vote on Day 2.
13. The veto absolves the person who was going to die. If 10 people got votes, and by some fluke the first 5 were immune to dying, then the 6th-place person would die. If there is a veto, the 6th-place person is spared and the 7th-place person dies.
14. You can't !guess the roles of dead people.

If the village votes off the person with the Aroduc role today, all the people who voted for that person will get something special.

Borderlands 2 PA Xbox Metatag - Bazillion Guns
Some people requested it. I wouldn't dare throw aspersions on their intelligence.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
First order of business:
I vote me for being awesome.
Welcome to the world on this side.
I ain't going out like that.
This is so awesome.
No, the best part is watching it, knowing who everybody is.
Delicious.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
I !vote Gnasty for Liason

"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
It doesn't.
What I think we need to do, this early on, is concentrate on who has what role. Then we need to figure out who's known for being a bad guy. Then vote for the people who have those roles. Like if I were a bad guy really often, we'd seek out whoever has the mtvcdm role (and dammit there better be one).
I need to think about my liason vote a minute.

EDIT: And I want to get something special, so Aroduc-role, here I come!
I want a chance to be someone important. I !vote myself for Liason!
!vote Gnasty for liason
they advised me to contact him

Welcome to the world on this side.
My first thought is to look for Lady Eri. Eri's probably a seer or something.
Well that's as close to an admission of guilt as I need! !Vote Squashua!
And while I'm at it...
Clarification: There are 8 bad guys.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
I think the idea is that "Gnasty" likely needs to be elected to activate his ability, and Gnasty can't be "Gnasty" because players can't be themselves, so we protect against the possibility "Gnasty" is evil and getting elected.
Also, a potential question for the election winner: How many bad guy groups are there?
