It seems that in every Phalla the bad guys have to fight up hill to win. I swear, when I do Planescape: Phalla it will be tough for the good guys to win.

What can change the nature of a Phalla?

YES! Tagline right there.

edit- and Toxic, I enjoyed it. The mechanics were good and the narration was also pretty good.

Winrars!

Narrations were awesome, and the mechanics definitely had me paranoid.

Oh eecc, fun times we had last night .

Very good, very tense.

In the end, we figured that the zombies were hitting the mason network. We were kinda worried Arkas was converted, but there was no real opportunity for it other than last night, so we trusted him.

The narrations are excellent as always. I kinda feel bad though that I'm undoing the work I laid down in the previous zombie phalla. :lol:

I thought it was quite good. Loved the narration, and working people's names in.

The mechanics were great - they ended up truly inspiring paranoia which I think really added to it. You should see some of the PMs that were sent around on the last day - at one stage, someone suggested that I should snipe off B:L or Arkas...

In terms of balance, it worked out quite well, since it came down to the last day. I think what swayed it in our favour at the very end was that there were enough kills vs number of people *not* in a network... so we voted Sheep, let the zombies have Rainfall, and vig'd weatheredclown.

Had the dice rolled the other way and B:L/Arkas ended up being converted.... well.. zombie win.

Hahaha, I am so glad I convinced myself that you were being overly paranoid. Although admittedly, you could've been absolutely right...

For the time I was around it was awesome. The narrations were really good. Like others said, it did a really good job of inspiring the kind of paranoia you would expect in a zombie apocalypse.

Huzza for my first phalla win!

Thetheroo

If I need people to help me with Planescape: Phalla mechanics would I ask in the sign up thread?

Toxic Toys

I'm glad you liked the narration for the game. That was honestly he hardest part for me. As for working in the names, I give all credit for that idea to LaOs. He used it in the 1st Jonesphallaburg game, I had to do the same.

Here are some of the other PMs I sent out.

Day 2 Result

Masons

Spoiler:

- The lord came to you two in a vision, telling that James McGruff was one of his sheep that will need your guidance to protect him fro evil.

Day 3 Results

Seer -

Spoiler:

You were able to make to the church during the day time to drop off some medicine to the people stay there. Reverend Lovejoy greeted you at the heavy wooden doors. You had some time before nightfall and was able to give him a clean bill of health.

iamtheaznman is a mason, Reverend Lovejoy, and a villager.

Day 4

From across the street you watched the zombie break into the court house. You positioned yourself so you hade a clear shot the back alley, the only place that those monster could exit from. You shot the first person to walk out.

You killed FrostMist.

TheLawinator

Yea, I was supposed to be the religious guy but Toxic gave me a villager PM.

adejaan

I enjoyed it, I was just glad I survived as long as I did. I liked the narrations too, the names were a nice touch.

weatheredclown

Wow... that was super fun...
glad I made it to the last day on my first phalla... it was nice of people not to target me earlier..
The narration was great... monster in a weathered clown costume... fit in perfectly..

Braaaaiiinnnnsss....

Rainfall

Woo! Yes! Yes! Yessss!

I think this is one of two phalla in which I have not died.

I could be miscalculating, though. But I'm pretty sure.

Wait, how did you not die?

Ianator

I guess the !black votes were split closer than some of us thought.

Rainfall

We killed the last zombie, which means they didn't get their extra kill. Reading comprehension!

Love you too, Toxic

Arkas

I second what was said about the fake-realistic names in the narrations. Those were awesome. A very nice touch. After results each day, part of me always wanted to mention it, but I always ended up getting sidetracked due to the actual results.

alternatingAberration

Haha! My hunch were der correct! I haven't had this much fun since the 2nd mafia phalla!

Lignisse

Noo...will I be forever denied the sweet, sweet taste of brains?

This is truly a sad day for all undead.

Institutional Pederasty

Yea, however killed me, why me again day 1 vig kill? Whoever it was who was pulling the strings.

Also, really enjoyed watching the game form the sidelines, The narrations were great.

Dear Zombies,

You may have been denied the sweet, sweet taste of brains,

But you've experienced the sweet, sweet taste of Cuba Gooding, Jr.


One you go black you never go back,

- Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Lignisse

Wow, you'd think that would make me feel better.

Unaccountably, it does not. It's a crazy world we live in!

GOOD JOB GRUFF

I BELIEVED IN YOU

Huh?

Toxic Toys

I did learn soething running this. Give people a chance to kill some one most of them will take it. And use it against cheez.

I got 5 call to kill him in one night.

Exarch

I really enjoyed the game. Good naration, and the mechanics kept the main thread intersting, which is key.

I think it was a good use of the conversion mechanic, which can be tricky to use without destabilizing the game. I really thought we were doomed about mid way through. It served to stoke the rampant paranoia that all us villagers felt, which was perfect for a zombie themed game.

Thanks for running it Toxic.
