Pending some research/finalizing, I can presumably run a main soonish unless someone's ready before me.

lonelyahava · November 2011

I think there was a week break planned for thanksgiving in the states.

and then back on next week.

so you have a weekend, I believe, CJ. but check with bandwagon!

Bandwagon · November 2011

Indeed. I've been checking in with people to see who is available to run next, but we will be having a week break regardless, with next signups going up at the tail end of the weekend, if someone is ready. If anyone out there does have a game ready and I haven't poked at you yet, let me know so I can put together the schedule.

MrTLicious · November 2011

My Fluxx mechanic seems much better suited to a mini, so I'm having a theme change to: 7

Langly · November 2011

Spoit whatever happened to phalla annual thread

When it's done.™

Phalla Awards 2011: 2012 edition!

Bandwagon · November 2011

Hmm, I still haven't gotten anyone for running the next game yet. Anyone who is ready to run a main game, let me know and I can set things up.

MrTLicious · November 2011

If no one else is going to do one, I can have mine ready for signups over the weekend.

3clipse · November 2011

O Phalla: I hear thy siren call once more; it beckons me, to thine dark door!

(guess I'll camp out til the next game starts

)

(and start working on a mini to run over Christmas break so I'm not just booorrreeeddd)

cj iwakura · November 2011

I might have mine up soon too. I was thinking in a day or so, unless there's any objections(or someone beats me to it).

Bandwagon · November 2011

Well, whenever someone is ready, they should send me a PM. I don't know what the holiday forum situation is going to look like, but depending on pacing, we could either have one or two main games during the month of December. We'll see.

Question for you phalla pros - I'm going to be hosting an IRL game this weekend, and we're expecting 12 - 15 players to come. The majority will be newbies, so I was thinking 3 mafia/werewolves, 1 seer, 1 limited vig, and 1 limited guard (1 to 2 uses total over the course of the game). Any suggestions whether this makes for a good introduction to the game or if I should change the numbers around would be most appreciated.

The Looney Labs werewolf release comes with 2 werewolves, 1 seer, and villagers (for 7-15 players). They recommend making sure you have an odd number of players for each voting cycle, so if you start with an even number of players you let the werewolves kill someone during the first night. Also, having everyone slap their legs with their hand during night helps limit the possibility of night-noise exposing the werewolves. I think if you're introducing it to new players, best to keep it to the basics. (We used standard playing cards with 2-10 being village, ace as seer, and face cards as mafia, back in the day.)

Here's an update for those whomight be interested:

We ended up with 11 players, plus a narrator so we were set for a great introduction to the game. First round was 2 wolves and 9 vanillagers. Each round we added a role; first up was the little girl (allowed to peek during werewolf phase); next was seer; then witch (one use vig and guard with "potions"); hunter (gets a kill upon death); cupid (makes 2 players "lovers" - they must survive to the end as a pair); and thief (gets a pick between 2 leftover roles not handed out).

As the complexity of the roles increased, the wolves' chances diminished dramatically. Wolves won first 3 nights, but never even made it close for the last 4 as the new players learned how to think more critically about who to vote off.

Super fun night. I would recommend not playing with little girl, cupid or thief. Little girl ended up being broken by a player in the last round. Instead of "peaking", she opened her eyes fully. The wolves were confused and she faked being a wolf and ratted em out on day 1. Sorta cheating in the most strict interpretation of the rules, but wide open eyes are still sort of peaking.

We have opted to keep that role out in future games.

Infidel · December 2011

My main will be Phallasopher's Stone.

MrTLicious · December 2011

My main is now accepting signups.

MrTLicious · December 2011

If anyone would like to sub in for My Phalla, an opening will be available for about 30 minutes.

daniant · December 2011

I would like to sign up to run a main after the new year. I could be ready as soon as January 2nd. It will be an Archer Phalla.

MrTLicious · December 2011

Seven Deadly Sins has completed with a Village/Angel Victory.

Bandwagon · December 2011

We currently have no games running, and nobody currently ready. I don't know if there's enough time to get signups and a full game in for a main game before the big end-of-year holiday week, but there's certainly plenty of time for people to run mini phallas. There shouldn't be any problem with running a game, but you can check in with me for scheduling if desired.

REG Rysk · December 2011

I would consider running Mafia Mini II

But I don't have a computer for at home until Wed probably. Anybody want to collaborate on this?

Infidel · December 2011

SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD RUN AN EMERGENCY MINI. :3

REG Rysk · December 2011

I am for this.

Infidel · December 2011

I am coming up with mechanics for SECRET MINI-PHALLA 2011.

This will end in tears.

romanqwerty · December 2011

I'd like to put up a Christmas Mini, sometime tomorrow...

Any problems with this?

Infidel · December 2011

FISTICUFFS!

No, no problem. Two minis is fine. (We have nothing running right now, right?)

correct.

cj iwakura · December 2011

My main is still in conceptual phasing. Maybe tonight?

*No promises

romanqwerty · December 2011

Have you been waiting all year for that one role that you just can't seem to be given?
Wait no longer. It is my gift to you and signups are now open.
Merry Christmas.

cj iwakura · December 2011

My theme will instead be Serial Experiments: Soul Hackers.

Unless there's any objections, signups should proceed momentarily.

Bandwagon · December 2011

Well, you should understand that what with Christmas approaching in less than 11 days, your game will be running directly into the holiday week. Endgame will be right at that time, accounting for a 3-day signup period. I will suggest holding off on running right at this moment, but if you understand the risks, I don't think I should stand in your way...

Also, nobody actually contacted me about running their games, but I guess that's okay...

cj iwakura · December 2011

I think it's viable. This shouldn't be particularly large scale or chaotic.
At least I doubt it.

cj iwakura · December 2011

And, go.

Langly · December 2011

Just a note, unless the forum change changes things, this board will go away next week

38thDoe · December 2011

Critical Failures is going away?

Taya · December 2011

We always get that Merry Christmas board that replaces all the others.

REG Rysk · December 2011

All hail your merry lords of joy and good will towards men.

HAIL THEM

cj iwakura · December 2011

I like a challenge!
(You know, if the roster fills by tonight, we'll have more chance of making it...)

daniant · December 2011

Quick question for the pros:

Would you consider the use of a unique word from a role pm to confirm someone's identity to be "quoting role PMs"?

For example, your role: "You are a snarfle. You feel that those nasty snuffles are up to no good. Primary win condition: Clean up those snuffles!"

And you say "snuffles are up to no good" in a PM to confirm yourself. Or what about the word "clean"?

Spoit · December 2011

I think that it's allowed, but kind of in bad taste. Though that's why the villager PM in usually disclosed.

romanqwerty · December 2011

Yeah i would think that the former is fine, but the latter starts to dive into rulebreaking territory. Basically if you're trying to use wording of any kind to confirm identities that starts to be against the spirit of things.
