    The new forums are gonna cause mass chaos as hosts start changing the standard colors to make things less stressful to read :)

    Lime is annoying but better now with the off-white backgrounds, at least it is readable for small stints.

    Yellow is just god no.

    At least red is still good

    It would have to be god awful of a forum, legitimately, for red to not work I think.

    Pink? Yellow? etc. D:

    No thanks!

    Can we not just switch to normal green?

    Mr Blarney was the one who suggested limegreen, which is marginally more legible than regular green with style sheets

    In fact I updated my signature in support, and yeah that looks much nicer.

    lime
    limegreen

    What the hell? They're slightly different.

    Stupid internets.

    I still think green would be easier to make standard, limegreen is more readable than lime but ehhh.

    Finding the new neutral color is going to be a pain. Maybe purple if we slam it into people's heads repeatedly. Maybe there's an orange yellow that will be annoying but tolerable.

    And don't forget darkgreen

    The dark green looks bad on the Stylish version Ye Olde Style, if it matters.

    The problem with balancing on styles is that not everyone uses them though. I don't mind the default style, and I'm sure a lot of other people aren't using style mods either.

    Which is why I think limegreen is a decent compromise between lime and green

    I am also a fan of limegreen.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    They all look good on my cool dark theme.

    Cept green. It's a bit too dark.

    Not today.

    Unfortunately, with moving this week, I don't really have the time to serve as a good mentor. I will say, however:

    Ties will usually be regarded by the village as "A Bad Thing". Ties can be resolved in multiple ways, but different hosts do it differently. Make sure to watch out for how ties are handled, as some hosts like to kill both the tied players, and the player who cast the vote.

    I think, on Ye Olde Style, limegreen looks best.

    The best ties are when the two vote victims live and the person who tied it doesn't

    I don't think I can recall a game that used that tie mechanic kingmole. The tie-er dieing along with one or both of the tie-ies, sure, but instead of?

    There was one, I forget the game but the host really did not like ties.

    He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

    That is a hilarious mechanic and I am seriously considering using it in my next phalla.

    I remember one, it was awesome.

    Some standard questions that you may be curious about when signing up for phallas:

    What is the order of actions?
    Are there thralls/millers?
    Can we trust those with whom we are masoned?
    How crazy is this game? :P

    If you have any questions about what those mean, ask :).

    Though the second question is usually a "Clarification denied" or outright ignored.

    So going off Spoit's clarification, and in general, the MOST important thing to look for is where the vote is. Ideally it's first, if not then weird things may happen.

    After that, if it looks something like what Spoit has, or "everything at the same time," then it's a pretty safe order with no traps.

    And before this game starts, let me just say that I am really enjoying Peccavi's posting restriction in the other phalla.

    Before the game starts, let me just say that I just looked at the Phalla signup list and saw that Langly is planning an Echo Bazaar Phalla and I may or may not have shouted with absolute joy.

    (I didn't. But I easily could have!)

    Also:
    I'm waiting to see Facetious as mafia.

    Going to be much harder to maintain that posting style. Can't change it now, everyone expects it!

    I already said I was going to try to change my posting style at least a little bit! :P

    Don't forget that you can usually request clarification in a PM to the host. This can be handy if you want to ask a question without revealing yourself in the process.

    Day 0: I serve the Newell
    JG9rG.jpg

    The Newell perches on his gilded throne. Reports had been coming in from the vast network of tubes that make up the interwebs of a vast conspiracy to undermine the vast steam Empire that he had build. Why, it could be Total War soon if no steps were taken. He needed a Shogun, or 2, to lead his forces.

    Seeing no other option, he raises a massive hand and gives a command that chills the blood of all who hear it.

    "Release....The Steam Sale!"

    All PMs should be out, if you expected one and didn't' receive it, let me know.

    This is a 20 person game.
    The Specials are: 1 Vig, 1 guard, 1 seer, 2 masons.
    There are 4 mafia with 2 kills a day.

    Be aware of the new rule regarding the new PM system. Namely, that you should not add people(other than the host) to an existing conversation, and instead should create a new one. As usual, invite me to any pro-boards which are created.

    Day 1 Begins now, and will end tomorrow at 9:00 PM PDT/midnight EDT, approximately 23 hours from now. All votes and orders must be in by 8:59 PDT, or they will not count.

    I am still looking for some veterans who are willing to do some commentary on specific do/don'ts that will be revealed at the end of the game.
