[PHALLA] Sgrub: 4th Wall Breached ==> Game Over

Baidol

SGRUB: A GAME TO DIE FOR

Linked because I am too incompetent to figure out to to put this on youtube.
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002322

Excerpt From a Recent Issue of the Derse Daily News:

The sky is high and the White King’s army is far away. That incompetent fool is no threat and he and his minions can be disregarded. But there is a new threat. A cult of 12 alleged heroes is infiltrating the Medium on a quest to destroy our kingdom and and create a horrible monster called Bilious Slick. Worse than that, they regard all of us and the world we inhabit as a trivial amusement by which they will win some silly prize! They must be stopped by any means possible!

Beware, they could be anywhere and look like anyone. These sneaks will try to confuse us and make us turn against one another!

RULES

As a reminder, while I am the public face of this game, Zaprat is working with me on this. Any posts or PM's by Zaprat have the same force and effect as if they were posted by me.

Role PM’s will be out shortly after the posting of this phalla.

All standard phalla rules are in effect. This means no anonymous contacts between players. There is no forwarding, quoting, screencapping or whatever of role PM’s to prove truthfulness, with the sole exception of those within your faction. Rephrasing of information is fine, but buyer beware. Deception is a key part of this game.

ProBoards are acceptable, but must be PM’ed to me. We encourage their use for coordination within factions.

Players must post at least twice per day and vote once per day. Votes will be posted in !bold red. Retractions may be posted in !bold lime. Retraction and revoting may take place in a single post. You cannot vote for yourself.

The vote always succeeds and is last in the order of operations. To be more explicit, a Guardian cannot block the vote. Ties will be broken by royal edict of the Black King. Supporting actions are first, followed by killing actions.

Questions can be asked !in orange and answered publicly, or asked via PM.

Voting closes at 9:00pm PST. Only posts with a timestamp of before 9:00pm PST will be accepted. Special actions must be PM’ed to Baidol by the same time. Players choosing to not use their ability must still state they are abstaining from action that day. The narration for the day will be up within a few hours of vote closure.

Specials should keep a close eye on their PM’s as certain things may change as the game proceeds.

There are no conversion mechanics in this phalla.

You are allowed one post following death. This post cannot contain any pertinent game information. No further communication involving the game with other players via posting, PM’s or other boards is allowed.

Baidol

I have returned. All special PM's can be sent to me again.

Reserve list

1. [strike]Dys[/strike]
2. [strike]Eddizhere[/strike]
3. [strike]thetheroo[/strike]
4. [strike]Hullis[/strike]

IF YOU ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THIS GAME, PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD.

This post will be used to keep track of clarifications. Specials notices (such as possible delays in narrations) will go on the top of this post.

Are PMs from the host trustworthy?

Yes.

Will Masons share win conditions?

Yes.

which roles are in play? can we know how many?

The roles will become apparent as the narrations progress.

Do votes post midnight but pre-narration count for the next day?

No.

Will the Black King be revealed when he chooses the winner of a tied vote?

Clarification Denied.

Does an edited post with a vote count?

No.

For the sake of being able to reproduce events such as the ones from tonight, is it possible that the narration might be posted no earlier than a specific time after vote close (say, 12:15 EST?)

The funny part of tonight was that the reason it was up so quickly was so people did not have to wait so long, but, yes, in the future the narrative will be posted no earlier than 9:10pm PST.

Is WV voted on every day? Or do we only pick a new one when our last one dies?

There is a new vote for WV every day. Yes, that means you must vote for a WV while the current one still has not acted yet.

can we vote for ourselves for the WV thing?

Yes.

!Are we given indication of who the WV is? If we vote for the same person for death and the WV, do we see if it goes to the second or third choice?

You will be told who the winner of the WV vote is and the sequence of succession, if necessary.

Let's say the top winner of the cyan vote is a player who can inherit the role and gets killed.

In second place we have a mafioso who can't inherit the role unless they receive first place.

In third place we have an agent who can't inherit the role.

There is no fourth place because somehow silly geese self-voting hasn't happened.

Am I correct in thinking that nobody gets to be WV due to the no succession rule for mafia?

Yes.

Is there a busdriver?

There is no busdriver.

As stated before, this phalla is intended to reintroduce the game to the fine community of SE++ and using particularly complex secret roles would not be conducive to making a fun game when most of the players don't know what the hell is going on because this is their first phalla.

To get this out out of the way, there is no thrall role, but that does not mean similar mechanics are not in play and certain specials should think carefully of the wording of role and special PM's they received.

If it seems like I'm giving out too much information, see the second sentence.

Centipede Damascus

all I'm saying is that the Midnight Crew pose an even greater threat to Derse than the trolls do!

Day of the Bear

We have no evidence of that right now. So far it looks like Spades Slick has knifed two trolls, no?

Shock G

CD, accept your death with honor.

We will deal with the Crew (if there even is one) when your kind are excised.

Nirya

Those are good points, CD...
!Centipede Damascus

Anyway, we need to start figuring out our next WV pick. I assume we can vote for Shock again.

jackisreal

So, uh, !Centipede Damascus

ehhhhhh while the midnight crew are dangerous, only Jack is a real threat.

I needed anime to post.

i'm just gonna throw this out there

there's a lot more trolls than there are MC

there seem to be two MC vigs and they're both stabs which means they're probably both jack

whereas there's more than two troll vigs

plus 10 troll votes that they can use to swing things, compared to 4 for the MC

the only reason that the MC might be more of a threat is because it's a lot harder to find 4 people than 10

DJ Eebs

I think at this point we keep it on !Shock G. We need a solid number two for the mob vote, but I don't have any ideas at the moment.

SLyM

I remembered what I was going to say!

It looks like Jack stabbed 2 guys, and the king made an attempt on a troll, and two trolls killed off villagers. RMED had a kill.

oh, can we?

If we can, let's do this thing

SLyM

So it seems like Shock is the best first choice, who do we want as 2 & 3?

Day of the Bear

yeah I asked for clarification yesterday and Baidol said we could reelect the same guy.

Charles Kinbote

!Shock G

Sounds good, right now we have no reason to disbelieve Pharezon is who he says he is.

We should formulate a plan now and see it through. Keeping !ShockG in place makes the most sense right now.

Nirya

Let's ask for clarification.

Can we vote the same player in to be WV on consecutive days?

Dys

!Centipede Damascus because a sure target is a very refreshing change.

Yeah see now my last post is just redundant.

Campion

That Centipede Damscus would rather us kill Members of Derse speaks more about him than anything I've heard from our reports or from the mysterious Pharezon.

cj iwakura

!Shock G's a given, but a solid second is also necessary in case he can't be reelected.

TrippyJing

Wait wait...I thought the Midnight Crew was Problem Sleuth, not Homestuck!

Butler For Life #1

!Shock G's a logical choice for reelection.

I'm on board with this
!ShockG

Day of the Bear

The midnight Crew is Spades Slick, Clubs Deuce, Diamonds Droog and Hearts Boxcars. They are a band of criminals from the future in homestuck.

Charles Kinbote

I wish we could put Pharezon in second because of the whole "already in whatever good network there is" thing

but either he's lying and we don't want him in second, or he's telling the truth and he can't get second

either way, boo hiss

Day of the Bear

I'm cool with shock having our vote again, but who are we gonna put in the number two and three slots?

Campion

Members of Derse who have also likely been party to the murders two alien invaders!

!ShockG, of course, who I supported before any sooth seeing was required.

Terrendos

New thread?

Why can't this be like CF where phalla threads are allowed past 100?

ZeroFill

I'll continue to play backup to Shock if there are no objections. Lets get some more votes on him first though, don't want to risk the mafia swaying the vote onto me, and I don't want to take first place.

Don't forget that it's possible (or even likely) that Pharezon isn't actually the vig, and merely the spokesperson for him or her.

So Pharezon might actually be applicable for the role. Probably shouldn't put it to the test though.

Nirya

I liked our WV order from yesterday, with ShockG -> Charles -> Zero

Terrendos

Might as well reinforce Shock as well while I'm here.

Moderator note: Extremely large threads cause problems with the database. If phalla threads go past 100 in CF it is due to oversight, not intent.

They're in both.
Also I meant to link this before the thread got locked.
Also !Centipede Damascus woooo

well Pharezon is, according to his enormous posts, Doc Scratch acting as the King's mouthpiece

so it sounds like he couldn't get it

who knows, though. he's probably a double-super-secret agent

Day of the Bear

I guess if he's telling the truth as Doc Scratch he's outing himself because Scratch wants to die? that's the only thing that makes sense if he is actually a special and not just working with one.

Taya

Finally some actual leads. !Centipede Damascus

Nobody seems to notice or care that Seriously is dead.

Exactly. The nature of his win conditions presents a serious concern. The fact that he revealed himself so early perpetuates this notion.

Day of the Bear

Seriously's death was a regrettable error that lead to a great deathpost.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

I HAVE STATED PREVIOUSLY THAT VOTE ALWAYS GOES FIRST AND HAVE PUT IT SO IN THE OP. THIS IS A MISTAKE THAT I HAVE JUST NOTICED. THE VOTE ALWAYS GOES LAST, AS IS TRADITIONAL. SUPPORTING ABILITIES, KILL ABILITIES, WV KILL AND THEN THE VOTE. GAMEPLAY HAS NOT BE AFFECTED BY THIS UP THIS POINT. I APOLOGIZE FOR MY INCOMPETENCE.
