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!
[Phalla] PhallaMan Zero: Final Day: Maverick (Mafia) Victory!

I don't pay huge attention to the narrations
!Requesting a PM for my final night seering please!
Also: good times R U thanks for hosting ;o
Check the PMs I posted last page. All your answers are there.
Well, I didn't want to hand-hold too much. In fact, I was worried when Marshmallow railed against the "bad PR" the Mavericks were getting. I thought that maybe I was laying it on a little too thick and putting the Mavericks at an unfair disadvantage. Turned out not to be the case, as the village proved, but still. As a host, I have to try my best to remain completely removed from the action and let the chips fall where they may. I try and correct any screwups that might come up, like my premature killing of Zellpher and the Dragoon/Flame Stag confusion (apoligies again to the players involved), but I designed the game a certain way and couldn't re-do a fundamental design just because people thought the wording of their win condition was too ambiguous. Lesson learned for me and for future hosts, I hope.
It's not telling me who killed Rend
Also, I don't think that I thanked you enough for outing yourself as Maverick and getting the village to side with us. It helped us soooo much. Even though you did turn on us! =P
I just wish you would have contacted us and said, "Hey guys, bring me back to your side."
Marshmallow actually contacted me the day of his conversion, lamenting the fact he had to turn on his former teamates. I felt for him, but reminded him "Well, why do you think they converted you?"
As painful as I'm sure it was for him, Marshmallow gets a gold star for being a good sport.
Did you check the google spreadsheet? I think it should be in there.
Also, if I attempted to revive Sticks, would it have worked?
Because you were of the same faction, yes, but any other faction, no, because Vile was incorruptible. But I couldn't tell you that much. Anyone who tried to ressurect was taking a chance that their target was ressurectable. Telling you one way or the other would have been unfair.
If Bliss and Vile both died, would I have gotten a vig ability?
Micro grudged ooOooooO
It's ok, I wasn't sure it would work on me either. Which is why I didn't suggest it before Zero killed me
Due to the mechanics surrounding Bliss, I couldn't let him be revived if he died because we couldn't have 2 Sigmas running around. I could have built him a "dummy" role instead, but that didn't make much sense thematically, so instead, I went with the whole "he auto-revives inside someone else" angle.
Which, of course, turned out to be completely unneccesary.
Yeah, unfortunately the sibling pairs didn't get to shine, which is too bad. Neat that one of the apocalyptic ones did, though
Yeah. I must say it's become pretty easy to appear almost inactive in Phallas, and the village will just ignore you. I think this was the third time I did this as a baddie, although this time I was just semi-active in the beginning. Once I had time to play properly I just figured I'd continue being invisible.
I think we need stricter rules to eliminate people who play like this.

If so, does that mean that TehSloth's bomb would have only killed Mavericks, Hunters, and Repliforce characters?
Maybe main Phallas should become longer. Give each game a month. That way you'd learn a lot more about your fellow players. In the meantime, mini- and microphallas would run normally.
A month? Jesus, that's way too long. You'd get inactivity from boredom if nothing else.
Not necessarily. I'd have played the Phalliad for a fucking year, because it was such fun. It depends on how the game is set up.
I think that the only way to really have fun as a villager is when you have some information to base your votes on. And getting there takes time, time that our Phallas don't have. The village vote should be important, not an afterthought overshadowed by all the specials.
It would be interesting to see how the game would play for month-long engagements. It plays very differently in different time frames. This, for example, was an entirely different experience than any of the in person half-hour games I've been in. Epic reveals would have immense consequences in long term games, I think.
Well, I was extremely suspicious of Osvik throughout as he was playing like that and thought he was a high up Maverick, but turns out he was a higher up in the Repliforce instead (which I didn't know anything about).
An active, participating village helps against this sort of behavior, as it stands out more. And this playstyle opens badguys (and specials on the flip side) to additional risks of engaging in suspicious behavior if they need to switch it up later on. Villagers in typical games usually are best served by playing an active role in shaping the vote and trying to route out badguys, but that was hamstrung a bit more in this game because of the win condition demanding survival. Being active tends to up your death rate.
This pretty much sums it up, I think.
Not that it's a bad thing. It can just get a bit out of hand.
