The Armada
Arcadia is at peace. The Pinnacle Guild pulled out, leaving a small remnant of staff who assimilated into society. The Domarian Legion and the High Council agreed to let the system govern itself.
For five blissful years the planet Arcadia was just a planet. It wasn't a war zone.
And then... Well. Did anyone really think it would last?
The fleet appeared from nowhere, and is inexorably advancing towards Arcadia. Their only message; they want to take the planet by force. Do not resist.
The Cultist Armada's tacky, ostentatious ships are ornate and unknown and horribly effective. They pose a threat to Alpha Sector as a whole. Arcadia doesn't stand a chance.
With a heavy heart, the Arcadian Order deployed their distress beacon...
Damage Types
Normal: Physical damage. If the damage type is not specified it is this mundane, uncouth variety of damage.
Psionic: Damage that affects the mind. Psychological trauma and otherwise. Certain roles may be resistant or vulnerable to psi damage.
Special: Rare, extra-potent flavour of damage. Unless otherwise stated, defensive abilities- such as Guard- that increase a player's resilience have no effect on Special damage.
Sample Role Abilities
Armour: A straight reduction to physical damage, applied per attack.
Psi Defence: A straight reduction to psionic damage, applied per attack.
Resistance: A damage threshold; if total damage meets or falls below this threshold, none is taken. However if the Resistance value is exceeded, it is bypassed entirely and damage is resolved as normal.
Alertness: Stealth abilities are less effective against characters with Alertness.
Vulnerability: The opposite of armour! This effect can stack, and increases the power of every incoming attack by the amount given.
Aid: Restore the target's Life by the given amount after all attacks are resolved.
Cure: Strip away a single persistent negative effect from the target.
Guard: Reduce the total attack power sent towards the target.
Heal: Restore the target's Life by the given amount.
Mindscan: Psionic seering method with a given chance of success. Mindscans stack, increasing the seer chance for all participants.
Obstruct: Take the target's place for the purposes of all hostile abilities and attacks sent their way.
Nullify: ????
Martyrdom: ????
Chaosweb: ????
Oblivion: ????
Life Mechanics
The previous system has been simplied. Percentage attack powers are no longer an element, replaced instead with a straight HP mechanic. A player who hits 0 Life (or who is vote killed) is dead. In deference to the fact that attacks were always in multiples of 10, damage has lowered to a tenth of the initial values used.
Players can have anything from 6-10 Life; the former end of the scale for support roles, the latter for tough attackers. Particularly special roles might have even more. Attack power averages at 3, being lower for roles with utility powers, and significantly higher for roles with attack powers.
Orders
If you have a Proboard, send the Edcrab account a link. Groups should feel free to use a proboard thread to orchestrate and list their nightly actions, because I can appreciate how complicated it can get to organise. However, if an individual sends The Supercomputer an order PM, that PM will take priority over anything listed in the thread.
Private Messages
The conversation system is very useful for hosts! Please include The Supercomputer account in conversations in much the same way as you'd alert the Edcrab account to a Proboard. Where possible, try to use your existing conversations with The Supercomputer and/or Edcrab accounts; it makes it easier to keep track of things, especially for large groups!
A Reminder
This is Phallakinetic, which means that while there are factions there's still a mafia and their power should not be underestimated, and that some seers are imperfect. If a faction leaves the game because they have won, they're considered to be eliminated for the purposes of victory conditions that require their demise (i.e., everybody wins).
This phalla features non-standard elements, but it does not feature conversions. The vote kill is unstoppable and cannot be blocked or redirected. If a vote target is vig-killed, the vote does not trickle down.
Village Victory Condition
Make Arcadia your own.
Eliminate the forces of the Cultist Armada and the Outsider sub-faction.
OR
Eliminate the forces of the Cultist Armada and the Chaotic sub-faction.
The Outsider sub-faction wishes to control Arcadia or otherwise shape its destiny, taking power out of the hands of the people.
The Chaotic sub-faction is a destabilising presence, either insane or desperate for power and influence but disinterested in the fate of Arcadia itself.
The Cultist Armada's primary goal is to outnumber the Arcadians. When the Cultist Armada is eliminated, or if they meet their goal, the game ends for everybody.
Some roles benefit from an Armada victory, others an Arcadian victory. Some are Neutral, and have objectives that are entirely divorced from the overall conflict. This loyalty, so to speak, does not necessarily have any connection to their sub-faction.

Clarifications
As in past Phallakinetics, actions happen instantaneously, with the exception of the Aid power which kicks in after everything else. So if a guard uses their ability on a player, that player will be guarded even if their guardian turns up dead. Likewise, dying doesn't prevent you from killing.
In turn, if you perform an attack and it went through without being altered or blocked in any way, you will not be notified. Please assume success unless otherwise stated.
Despite the presence of sub-factions, the mafia's overall goal (and by extension the village's) does not differ from the norm. The mafia (the Cultist Armada) is considered a separate entity to everyone else for the purposes of outnumbering all other players.

You have no idea how many times I've been in your position. Noticed them after we got in contact, was too busy networking behind the scenes to notice before I guess.
And goddamnit why does this have to be two and a half weeks before the end of my last semester, aargh. Something else to blame on the transfer of credit prof who made me retake organic chem II, gotta sit this one out.
