    I prefer HP over RNG, because the RNG utterly and completely hates me and loves people like Spork.

    Not that it would have helped me THIS game, but nothing would have.

    Not bitter. Nope.

    The RNG loved Spork and Rend. It hated the Disciples! The game might've been very different if they'd managed a few conversions.

    Suggestions for next time:

    Don't play with the underlying mechanics too much, because they worked really well.

    You will have to play with factions and win conditions- half the fun was not knowing what the heck was going on and how peoples' win condition might change to screw you. You should DEFINITELY tell the networked factions that there will be no giant robots, or they'll just suicide again. Even if you ARE going to give them giant robots, don't even hint it.

    Spectral, I just want to say something personal, just you and me:
    grudge...forever, any chance I have will be used to kill you.

    I mean that with the utmost love.

    Yeah, I guess the Behemoth is going to be a one-time only occurence. It wouldn't do to have any future Domarian teams begging the thread to kill them :lol:

    Also shaking up the factions makes good sense. Doing the same four-way again would take away the surprise elements.

    Incidentally, I almost feel bad about the Disciples being led to believe that the Renegade was dead. Almost.

    Honestly I don't think that really affected our play at all. I think around day two or three we started theorizing that he actually wasn't actually dead and were wondering what that would mean for us. If nothing else we knew that there was a serial-killer type player out there.

    I think we can, actually.

    EDIT: The reason I prefer HP over RNG are two-fold, but it might not fit the flavor of your game, so take it with a grain of salt.
    1) HP means that a person's intent achieves some result, however small. This result can be built on later instead of having effectively never occurred.
    2) HP means more info available to the person being attacked, as well as presenting a longer timescale on which to make decisions. Compare getting attacked with a 33% attack (and not knowing the percentage you're hit with on a miss) and getting hit for 3 damage and having 9HP.

    Basically, actually. That and you were the first person to vote for me snowballing into a bandwagon in this and 6 String Phalla (minus the bandwagon and irrelevant of the fact that I was in fact evil that game) which was a good enough excuse to me to target someone blindly from here on out.

    I think it comes down to how you want guards to work, and HP and damage amounts.

    I don't want half the game to be "speculate how much hp everyone has/guard guards/vig hits for/etc."
    I'm a fan of keeping things simple, and I feel RNG is simpler, if less reliable.

    It's a little more difficult when a thread moves 10 or so pages a day. Games like FE got a bit ridiculous in that regard.

    Did I mention this was an awesome Phalla? Even though I was dead, reading all the faction and win-condition wheedling at the end was hilariously entertaining. More phallas need multiple factions.
