    Hey guys, I don't know how to play football, but I'm gonna sign up anyway and not talk much for the next few days.
    No worries, I wont bother learning or even really trying to help out either, then I'll just kind of peter-out and quit without saying anything as well. I'll watch though!

    Yes, as I was saying, the voting is random. So the bandits are going to win. Where's the superiority here? Seriously.

    Why would you talk during football? Did you know how to play Phalla the first time you joined a game?

    And if you're using metaphors, it's more like me joining a game of football, to discover that I don't like football.

    If one doesn't talk during football, how would you set up a play?

    Yes, I looked at an old thread and asked questions in the thread for clarifications. Hell, I even got a bandwagon started on a badguy because of detective work I did. (Unfortunately, the forums crashed for about a week after that and the game was cancelled.)

    My metaphor worked just fine.

    You're right. The people playing the game haven't missed any clues as to the identities of the last bandits, so the voting is effectively random.

    I'm talking about you, Devoutlyapathetic.

    (Haha, Frosteey. How long did you spend on that one?)
    Two points:

    Usernames here couldn't be long enough to accept the space when I registered and I fear the Coin of Tube.

    MacDonald and such like are capitalized in the middle because they're actually two words put together (Son of Donald) so even in that case, my name is still done correctly.

    If you're going to imply that "Devoutly" can follow the same principles as Mc and Mac, then I submit that my name is in fact a particle like "von" in Georg Henrik von Wright.

    There we go! You can call me cheez and I can call you DevoutlyApathetic, and neither of us need fear for the sanctity of proper nouns.
    Hurray for pointless pedantic arguments keeping us occupied until the next Phalla!

    Mac and Von mean different things. One is clearly not commonly capitalized. Nice try though.
    I am too lazy to think when I hit the damn shift key. Thinking I shall not do!

    So now you're making the case that Mc/Mac follows different capitalization rules simply because it means "Son of"? I suppose that's why we have all these AnderSon, JohnSon, WatSon, and LarSon last names running around. And how does "Devoutly" fit into that schema?
    So much ugliness in this thread overnight...

    What the hell are you guys arguing about.

    And t Romanlevin - My first game I just jumped in, I had no idea what I was doing but I learned by actually playing. Watching is just plain boring. So don't judge Phalla by what you see, you actually have to try it.

    Well to really cheating but more of a mistake, Stalin after he died, put in a ghost message to take a close look at his post about Raakam, pretty much fingering him as bad.. I informed Robot about it.

    Eeeeh, I tried, I failed.

    I guess I really screwed up on the giltanis thing. Whore just seemed like a juvenile role, so I bought into gil's miner thing.

    I should of known the GMs weren't THAT mature.

    ;-) <3<3

    I suspected the Frosteey / Raakam partnership, but didn't say anything for fear of earning myself a Fuzzy-like reputation of being overly paranoid. I need to learn to trust my instinct more, even if it means earning myself some red votes. I'll try playing the next Phalla more aggressively and see where that gets me.

    So what's worse? Cheating bandits or dumbass villagers? (I include myself in that descriptor)

    I say type up a huge narration where everyone gets scalped and raped by Indians.

    Wait, didn't you say you had a Donner narration all set to go? I think this is a good time to make use of it :P

    To be clear, I hadn't read the dead thread before I made that post. It's just that by calling me out as "a bad guy", Rakaam made it obvious that he was a baddie, and I pointed it out in my post. Still, I don't even think that would have changed anything, because the few active people are just blindly following Rakaam regardless. He was smart about it, too. He replied to the first part of the post, but skipped the second part that was essentially undeniable evidence.

    4. If you have not played phalla, or maybe you need a refresher on the rules, check here.

    You signed up on the first page, which implies eagerness. Why, then, wouldn't you take the time to read the information? If you didn't understand it, why then not ask how the game works, or ask the organizers about your role?

    Instead you sat like a lump and complain now that you weren't being entertained because there was no point in voting. Many people complain that they don't know what to do, but figuring it out is kind of the point, both in the live game and here. Behavior leads your guesses, which is the entire exercise. The narration is not the game, it is embellishment. You are the one who's supposed to think.

    Frosteey wasn't evil, and he was pretty damn good at fingering the baddies. Pretty damn good. We didn't kill him off early h though, because we were afraid that we would waste our kill on him if another guardian existed.

    Which reminds me. We targeted PK one night and he didn't die! What gives?
