    Also, I don't know [Baidol].

    He ran a game in SE++ recently-ish. I hear it was "interesting"?

    It was a pretty good game! The only real problem with it was that it was meant to introduce phalla to new players, but it also included a naive seer mechanic without making it clear that seer results could be like that. This resulted in a mafia being put into the village network pretty early on and no one ever questioning it. Then later a dead person leaked information to a living person and the game had to be called.

    wow....


    Well...

    I say it's only right that in memory of Phalla somebody who abused Phalla should be equally Abused?


    or something?

    Baidol didn't give cover roles to the mafia also.

    For shame!

    Actually this gives me an opportunity to ask something, since I've been pondering the construction of phallas. Are cover roles something that should almost always be provided for mafia, or is it only when everyone is an individual? I.E. if there are like 20 people named "Villager" is "Villager" a fine cover role?

    Usually that is alright, but if there are named roles (for example when i ran Narnia mini I had to make up names for the mafia to fit with the goodguys) It's usually a good idea to give cover roles.


    Role calls can be done often, and they usually end in tears. A good way to avoid having a Rolecall happen is to give cover roles. And have them be good convincing cover roles.

    It's particularly egregious when there's a reasonable chance of a rolecall, and it's impossible for them to reasonably know which roles are taken, yes

    I did one game forget to give cover roles. My Main Phalla. based on the Bible.

    It was near disastrous...

    On the "impossible for them to reasonably know which roles are taken" note:

    I had an SK role forever ago in the Okami game. In my role PM, the host noted "You (and only you) know for a fact that there is no Amaterasu role in the game."

    Something like that gives a player knowledge that there can claim that role without anyone being able to contradict it without a seer.

    Oh good, I get to do my first EPIC REVEAL!

    I am The Teucrian

    I am a seer, but only sometimes. Meaning that even if I somehow survive tonight, I can't prove my worth until Day 2. So, I'm basically hosed.

    Also, running that phalla was one of the most fun things I have done in recent memory, hilarious flaws and everything. I have only ever honored the spirit of phalla.

    Well, if I had to make a guess, being that this is a phalla phalla, and a mini one at that, the twenty five personalities (roles) we have taken are all going to be special in some way. In terms of losses, an unreliable seer isn't the worst to lose.

    Hey! You're a teacher, Baidol? I'm also a teacher!

    High five! No wonder you're me.

    Also, why would I be a seer? I've never been a seer. Literally never. And I've been playing for like a year and a half.

    Not going to lie Blarney: it hurts a bit that you're assuming I'm unreliable.

    Also not necessarily an unreliable seer, although there's something weird about one of my abilities. I am uncertain as how much to reveal without helping the mafia.

    I'm not whining. Being a seer seems like it would be a lot of pressure. Who needs it?

    I guess what I will say is if there is another village seer out there with two particular abilities, using them both on the same person may help determine if one is more reliable than the other.

    Epic Reveals are a tried and true tradition in the villages of Phalla. There is dispute however about the art of Epic Revealing, and we will examine each subjective theory in detail.

    The earliest school of Epic Revealing utilizes this traditionary technique to confuse their enemies and to save themselves from being targeted by the common mob mentality. This technique is usually the most common, but it must be performed early and the performer must hope for a guardian angel to survive the night.

    A much less popular theory of Epic Revealing is referred to as the Thetheroo Special. The art consists of Epic Revealing as soon and as extravagantly as possible. There are many detractors to this theory, however, as it has led many new adapters to reveal too early and too often, risking vital roles for the purpose of theatrics.

    A much advanced theory of Epic Revealing can be seen in hylianBunny's Zodiac Phalla, in the May of 2007.

    2wdpys1.jpg

    In those olden tymes, the knight of Goltana had disguised herself as a chocobo to infiltrate the Larg forces through contact with the Larg ninja. Unfortunately, a suspicious Goltana commander suspected that poor chocobo of being an evil Zodiac Brave, and the Goltana Knight had no choice but to reveal herself.

    And she did reveal herself, as the Larg Knight.

    Looking back at this scenario, we can clearly see that the plan would have worked had it not been spoiled afterwards by a ruinous fake epic reveal by a Goltana Giovanni, claiming that he was the Goltana Knight instead. This forced the true Goltana Knight to take action.

    And take action she did with an Epic Reveal, as the Goltana Knight.


    Sadly though, the false epic reveal had sown too much doubt within that village, and after the Goltana Knight was sacrificed with the Goltana Oracle slain that same night as predicted by the Goltana Knight, the suspicious Goltana commander and his cohorts were executed for treason.

    The art of Epic Revealing is a fine tuned skill, history shows us a cautionary tale for those who epic reveal wrongly, either too early, too late or falsely revealing.
