No-Theme Post-Restriction UPick No-PM Mini-PhallaThe Signups
Before you sign up, there are a few things you should know. First of all, if you don't know what Phalla is, I recommend reading
this, though you probably shouldn't start with a post-restriction game. Second of all, there is to be no communication regarding this game outside of this thread. If you have been spoiled by the proboard-laden network-building games of the past, this would be an excellent place to get back to the basics. Third of all, for the hell of it, this is a post restriction game, meaning everybody will have a minor restriction in the way they speak. Finally, this game has no theme. You will pick your character, much like a game of Smash if Smash included every character and object ever. I hope to see a situation where The Bible, Mr. T-bot and "The Entire Cast of Battlestar Galactica" can organize a bandwagon against Mahatma Gandhi while "The sound a lightbulb makes when it burns out" and the any key argue with some anime character nobody has ever heard of, so don't hold back in your choices.
When you
!sign up, PM me the name you would like your role to have. This can be anything from any source. If it's especially obscure and if you don't want me to have to look it up on Wikipedia, I recommend sending a short description along with the name. Do not tell anybody else what you are choosing.
I would like to have as many reserve players as starting players, because of the strict inactivity rules, so don't be shy. The game will start shortly after twelve people have signed up and have sent their choices, and each round will end at 11 PM EST.
The Rules
[tiny]yoinked from Monks on the Run[/tiny]
- Every day, vote for someone to viciously slaughter using the following syntax: !vote thorgot
- To change your vote, vote for someone else.
- You may post whatever the hell you want from your role PM. Or you can make something up and post that instead. Whatever.
- There will be no communication about this game outside of this thread. This includes PMs, IM, proboards, talking in person, etc. The mafia are not bound by this restriction.
- The dead may have no contact with the living, and may not post in this thread.
- Inactivity will result in replacement. If you miss two votes (total), you will be replaced immediately. If you post less than six times total over the course of two consecutive days, you will be replaced immediately. If you are fairly sure you can't make this quota, please don't sign up.
- Consistent failure to adhere to your post restriction will result in punishment.
- Roles will be revealed upon death.
- If you have a question, ask me or post it in the thread in Orange.
- Each round ends at 11 PM EST. Posts or actions marked 11:00 or later, forum time, will be counted for the following day.
- There will be no communication about this game outside of this thread.
The Game Specifics
- This is meant to be a group effort in analyzing vote records and behaviors to find the mafia, so share your thoughts. If you do not, the mafia is certain to win.
- There are three members of the mafia. Of the nine villagers, one is a seer and one is a guardian. There are no other special roles.
- The game will take between three and ten days, though the upper extreme involves many, many coincidences.
- The goal of the mafia is to control at least half of the total number of players remaining.
- The goal of everybody else is to kill all three of the mafia.
- The mafia are the only people without post restrictions, and also the only people who can talk to each other outside of this thread.

ReservesNarrations
Thorgot leaves me with no choice in the matter.
Thorgot is a harsh mistress
How could I not?
Edit: I'm goin' to dig up a character I can do justice. I'll PM it shortly.
Been waiting for this for a while. Time to brainstorm a role!
Alright alright. I better get to kill someone this time though.
Also, I hate you thorgot.
We talked about this a while ago. I still have the PMs. We both know that your game is completely different.
So please don't hate poor thorgot.
Shhh! I am trying to maintain my aura of mystique!
"In other news," the reporter continued, "citizens of the small village of Phalla were shocked today to find their town hall covered in graffiti of the most despicable nature. One resident described it as the most foul thing he had ever seen, while another described it as beautiful. Police are investigating this pervert to find out if he regularly looks at this disgusting picture, which I'm told is called goat zee. Wait, I've just been handed a news bulletin. The police of Phalla have all been slaughtered. This is the end. This is the end. We're all doomed. We're all doomed. We're all doomed. We're all..."
The reporter repeated this for another minute, until the masked figure he was staring at had finished with the cameramen. The reporter's severed head was never recovered.
The stunned citizens of Phalla were stunned, but then they were not stunned. Some of them weren't even citizens, but they were all stunned. Until they were not stunned. The point is, a mob quickly formed to find those responsible.
Day One has begun. It will end at 11 PM EST tonight (Monday, March 24th). Good luck!
Also remember: If you don't post enough, or don't vote twice, you will be replaced immediately.
It lookz az if the world iz going to Hell.
I guezz it iz my job to help you all fix that.
I have no idea what any of you are capable of, but I'm willing to, if I'm contacted by the right people, work with any of you! Az long az you aren't onna thoze oily baztardz goin' aroun' killin' folkz.
We've got to get thiz ztarted early! And zince none of you zneaky zortz can hide behind probardz and PMz, lay out all the cardz!
They may have the gunz! But we've got the numberz!
My advice to everyone who is not me: I would not vote for people just because they have annoying restrictions. For example, right now I want to vote for Krata because I keep reading his post in a French accent. I will not, however. Such is my magnanimity.
Starting the game without me Thorgot
I thought we had something special ):
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
shit all day and all night long
how many sylla-
Hrmm, this could become
awfully tricky at times
posting could be hard.
Not to point fingers so early, but megalomania is the oldest one in the book. Something someone of ill intentions would adopt?
But I digress. Agreed, voting for someone with an annoying restriction is not what we want to do.
I have chozen not to create myzelf a vote yet, for I wizh to chooze bazed upon the bezt of all available information.
I do, however, encourage uz to zpeak out, to join together, to band together, to zing happy zongs, and to zhoot the bad guyz, with our zhooting zhooters of zhootiness. Ve Vill Ovahcoom! Becauze Zean Zayz Zo.
end up in this crazy place
with all you people?
Why must all of you
stare at me so constantly?
What have I done wrong?
all you crazy people have
ceased talking now?
