The best think about this phalla was the sex and how open about it everyone was. I think most if the PMs I sent/received would be hilarious out of context.
Thanks for the fun times, daniant! It's tough to balance Phalla, it's always a learning experience.
Also INANTP sorry for thinking you might be mafia after I told you Spoit's role and he died that day. :P
Yeah, I had that thought too until I talked to Vert and got it cleared up. I knew one of the ravens (corvidae or lucedes) was bad when I was talking to a still living spoit.
oh h*ck

I had so much fun with the ways I'd proposition people.
The PM between Spoit and myself was particularly hilarious.

Stever was Pam and couldn't find someone to sex up for a day and a half. Kept getting rejected. So great in the context of the show (Pam is bi and spends most of her time trying to get laid).
And then this gem:
(From Citizen): Quick note, I got no cash as my partner died and someone has been/is being mind controlled(my rabbit is freaking out).
(From Akimbo): wh-what?
what does that rabbit thing mean
Keep in mind that Citizen is Trinette, the hooker. Wildly inappropriate.

Most of us didn't sleep around, given after the first night we figured out it told you who your character was and the fact condoms simply made you suspicious. Of course, not sleeping with anyone also made you look guilty, which put us in a bit of a pickle.
Oh, so it's over? I guess I'll post the link to the mafia proboards, then. EDIT: Uh, already posted by corvidae earlier. I am easily distracted.
Quite unfortunate about the blatant imbalance. I had expected there to be some sort of downside to the sex mechanic for villagers, but it appears the features that would have provided some balance to the mechanic were not implemented in time for the game. Judging from the list of excised mechanics and features, and drawing from my own experience from hosting Turnabout Phalla, it's an important lesson to take away that all planned features are implemented for a robust experience for its players.
However, despite the imbalances in gameplay, I am always appreciative of good hosting, and daniant, you continue to be one of the most dedicated and attentive hosts out there. I'll look forward to your next game!

This.
I did not suspect jdarksun or Thetheroo at all. But I am pretty bad.
Oh yeah, reading the mafia boards I was reminded. Even before Cap died red, you were kinda overplaying the whole 'trying to switch wagons' thing sportzboy

Thanks for hosting Daniant.
I cant believe I was kept alive for 2 days after i was revealed as Archer though - and i was totally going to hook up with Cyth (if you hadnt killed him!)
Thank you for killing me everybody! SeGaTai hehe, my natural suspicious nature helped me out this game. It was a quick amount of fun (even with no sexings, CORVIDAE)
Was there a lot of networking early on? I felt pretty lost with how the bandwagons were going and got incredably lucky to sleep with archer on the second day which made my role a lot more meaningful.
It was pretty fun having a seconday mechanic that everyone could do though, balance or no.
Corv, I honestly wasn't freezing you out or even -suspicious- of you til you started freaking out at me lol. I even told Bedlam to get Archer to target someone other than you, they chose to do that on their own. Then it all started to come together. Then, of course, I died :P.
I had such a headache trying to coordinate all the people contacting me >.< I think I managed to get everyone together at least, so hooray for that? If I'd have suspected any of the items were gonna be a busdriver I wouldn't have revealed. Dunno if I will again tbh, so many PMs and lies to sort through lol.
Thanks for hosting dani! I had a blast, and am now downloading season 1. Mission accomplished!
less you're fault than you think sporty! it was your first right?

Despite the imbalance, I actually thought the mechanic was clever and interesting. It was a fantastic way to get the village more interested in the game. Though, admittedly, that's probably precisely why it was too powerful, since you can't really make all the village have special powers.
Nonetheless, this was definitely one of the most fun I've played, and that even included games where I had lots of powers of my own or whatever. It's always fun when there is lots of stuff to look over and analyze to see who people might be. Way to go, Dani!
I also really like the power of some of those items. If there had been some mechanic like STDs or whatever that would've prevented the village from getting it on all day every day, I think this would've become incredibly interesting to analyze in the last 2-3 days.

Who was Archer anyway?
Cayrus said "if I die corv is mafia" and I read it as "corv is defiently mafia" so I wouldnt have had her change it. Besides after you gave me the target choices shiny had already gone to bed I think and said somthing in main so I was trying to cover for that.
I enjoyed the sleeping around mechanic, but yes it was definitely imbalanced.
I have to say, I also didn't really like that we were not allowed to talk about items or who we slept with. I understand why that rule was in place, but I was always nervous that I was breaking a rule.
Good game. Congrats to Retaba for his easy day 1 victory.
Ya. I screwed up scrambling with the cover ID. Though I was the one to brought up the mistake before anything was said about it. Didn't get me enough points. Trouble was I slept with Citizen and they found out that I used a condom to not see my role and also found out I made $200/day. Tried to make them look like the suspicious one but it would have maybe bought me a day. I think either way, I was on the way down.
For my mafia friends, it was a good attempt. We bought the hell out of the items. I bought 4 condoms on the one day. lol. Though I would say when I sunk my own ship, just stick to helping vote me out. Any comments defending me were going to get you killed. Couldn't say too much because I was scrambling between work meetings, but ya.
I was having plenty of fun with the sex requests. Before I slept with citizen, I was demanding a nice dinner first, etc. Probably could have avoided a lot of pain by just saying I had someone to sleep with already. Oh well.
Daniant, glad you came up with the theme and mechanic either way. Never seen the show but after reading wikis, it does sound entertaining. And I had fun the whole way through. But I am still a little creeped out by all your voyeurism. Perv

I think the theme and mechanics were fantastic. There was obviously some imbalance, but with some tweaking this could be a great "system" or whatever. Maybe even if sleeping together could fail... "so-and-so has been pounding Tom collins all day and couldn't perform..."

I had a really great time, too. I know I'm just about the least qualified person to talk about game balance, but having some characters who you would assume are good based on the name but actually be ISIS moles or something might have helped.
Just for the record, I wasn't trying to be a sore loser. I was locked into a situation where no matter what happened I was outed. Steering the vote onto me was the only way to try and buy time for the other mafia.
Was certainly a fun premise and you certainly worked a lot of the theme into the mechanics-balance is always hard to predict. Apologies to Kime for getting him killed day 1, saw 3 votes in a row for retaba in the final hour of the day, couldn't remember any grudges so went with the phalla standby that is Kime and apparently know one but mafia checks the thread with 15 minutes left in the day.
More amusing was the confusion if I was a guy or a girl (a guy, apparently I should say Bro more often or something) and then not being able to say anything to the thread.

for context, the original mafia board was "herpes inc.proboard/yada yada yada"
for some reason, jdarksun felt it would be inappropriate to show up in his browser history at work. no idea why though.

Thanks for the game daniant! Really neat concept overall, wish I'd given it more time than I did.
And to think, the village proboards are called "justhookers".

after day three i was pretty convinced corvidae was mafia
but there really wasn't much else i could do about it after soft-networking for three days
other than, you know, trust in my exponentially expanding villager network
