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!
[Mini-phalla] Dystopia; V for Victory (Anarchists win!)

It is a dark and stormy night in Britain, and the clocks have just struck 13.
The year is 2027, and throughout the past two decades terrorism became increasingly common world-wide. Almost by necessity, our leaders had to restrict our civil liberties more and more, for our ultimate protection. The rising political star in Britain was born as ‘Norsefire’, but by this point has merely become known as ‘The Party’. The Party that protects you. The Party that keeps your family safe. The Party of Big Brother, and Father. Always repeating its mantra;
WAR IS PEACE
SLAVERY IS FREEDOM
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
The Party rules Britain with an iron fist, and society is thankful for it. Under the Party’s rule, unorthodox thinking and excess emotionality have been outlawed; hundreds of sense-offenders and thought-criminals are executed daily, and thousands of works of art and literature burned. There is no space for emotionality in the Party. Thanks to the invention of drugs such as Soma and Prozium, the proles are indoctrinated into the unfeeling reality of modern-day Britain. For those who still resist the love of Big Brother and Father, the love of the Grammaton Clerics descends upon them. Where the Grammaton Clerics and Secret Police take offenders is classified, but the public are to be assured that since no-one ever comes back from it, it must be akin to paradise.
The two branches of the Party – the half dedicated to Big Brother, and the half dedicated to Father – have become increasingly isolated from each other, although the public is to be assured that this is a sign of Big Brother and Father expressing their love for one another.
There is no dis-satisfaction with the current state of affairs in Britain. There are none who would wish to rebel against the Party.
Or are there?
In the streets of London, the underground is about to rise.
This is a phalla for 21 players.
What’s a phalla?
A game based on the party game Mafia. Check this thread for more info on the basic rules.

BURNAGE RETURNS!
How can you know what shirt I'm wearing?

!I DONT THINK SO SISTER!

Edit: oooo its not that sort of Dystopia
I am genuinely intrigued as to what Dystopia you meant.
Also, do it so that the text is visible by a person who's head is level with the exact center of your brand new vidscreen.
Step back, now.
Get back.
I will not warn you again, correct your error or be expunged as all traitors should be.

Dystopia is a cyberpunk themed total conversion of Half Life 2, created by an amature development team and released to the public for free.
Dystopia places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punk Mercenaries or Corporate
Security Forces the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.
Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to
the physical world while fighting off enemy hackers and defending critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace
objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.
Whether the player is a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to
infiltrate a cyberspace node; they'll be immersed in an action packed battle. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal we're making available
and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.
Look at their deviations in behaviour, no right-thinking Party Member would ever do such a thing!
Crownaxe is also dangerously incompetant, look at his lack of motivation.
Fight the machine.
if not, a strong reserve then
You are not a number.
This isn't really like Phallanoia, but YMMV.
HAH! I'm better than all y'all!
You did want to be a reserve, right?
I deny ever having a thought!
