    @GrimmyTOA I asked Xemus to work with you but figured the deal was too good to be true. Especially since all we needed was one more day to win. c'est la guerre

    What I should have done was work with jdark but I have serious trust issues with that guy. Especially since he had two kills a night there was just no way to control that sort of chaos.

    @TheRoadVirus Working on it. Gonna take a sec to get it all formatted up. :P

    Yeah, my plan was to work with Xemus, reveal you to the thread via a surrogate to have you killed, and then betray Xemus the next day. I wasn't sure that the math would work out, but I knew damn well we were going to lose if I didn't do something, so I went for it.

    I figured that sort of moral ambiguity was right up Soklov's alley anyway.

    Mafia's last orders said to kill grimmy and gandalf
    I had their previous orders due to not refreshing the page, so it killed sega and malkor. Sega was a bomb who was targeting mikey, so the kill ended up killing the mafia vig.
    Had that not happened, the mafia would have still had both kills, and things could've gone much differently perhaps maybe

    I looked up the name Typhus gave me and it came up as an FBI character in a completely different video game. Seemed fishy. I figured if I died that night it would have been from reaching out to him. Turns out Typhus didn't last the night anyway, probably for outing himself as blue is my guess.

    Hah, yea, I gave you the name Francis York Morgan (but you can call me York) for anyone wondering :3

    You asked me for a name and it would have been lame/boring to just say I had no name thus...
    I didn't think you'd take me seriously about that, I assumed saying I was a Lower Guard would be enough to figure I was just a vanillager for the blue faction.

    Mafia chat as requested:
    December 13
    MIKEYCTS - You are Corvo Attano of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You are a most exceptional fighter, and there are few who can compare to one of your skill. You are a VIG and may choose one target every night to kill.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    FIARYN - You are Trevor Pendleton of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You are on the council, along with your twin brothers Morgan and Custis. You despise them and what they stand for. You are a VOTE MANIPULATOR and your vote counts as 2. For every one of your brothers that dies, your vote counts as one more.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    CESAREB - You are Piero Joplin of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You are a brilliant inventor, possibly the greatest of your time. You have devised an instrument that allows you to mimic the abilities of others. Each night, you may choose a target (non-mafia) and copy their abilities onto yourself. The next night, you may use this ability. The machine only copies the ability for one use and must be used again if you wish to copy another ability.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    OBIFETT - You are A Loyal Guardsman of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You patrol the streets at night with the rest of the City Watch. None of them know your true allegiance, though. Each night, you may ROLEBLOCK a person and prevent them from using any abilities.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    XEMUS - You are Teague Martin of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You recieved much training in your time as an Overseer. As such, you feel that you are able to take on any job that needs doing. When a member of the Conspiracy dies, you will take on their role.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    MILLYou are Admiral Havelock of the Loyalist Conspiracy.

    You seek to overthrow the Lord Regent and put the rightful heir on the throne. You have seen many of your friends die to the City Watch and to the plague infecting the city. You won't let it happen to anyone else as long as you draw breath. You are a GUARD and can protect someone of your choosing from offensive abilities used against them.
    The Loyalist Conspiracy wins when they outnumber both the City Watch and Bottle Street Gang.

    Fairyn December 13
    Premium and Langly have both come to me claiming to be some variety of neutral.

    Langly is claiming to be a sort of village idiot that wins under any circumstances except being vigged. Voted out or still alive, he still wins.

    Premium is some sort of survival neutral. Mafia, SK, village, he don't care.
    December 13
    Do you guys want cover roles? I can throw some together real quick

    Langly is usually pretty straight up with me. Sometimes moreso than he should be given that I ran cackling into the night with the roles of literally everyone in the game when I was mafia in V:tM.

    And yeah some cover roles would be nice given that I mean

    I only have cursory knowledge of the setting.
    December 13
    Basically the village is broken up into two factions. You have the city watch (blue) and the bottle street gang (green)
    Everyone's VC is to murder the shit out of the other factions.

    Vanilla for the watch is the Lower Guard
    You are a Lower Guard, member of the City Watch.

    You are victorious when The Loyalist Conspiracy and Bottle Street Gang are wiped out.

    Vanilla for the gang is a thug
    You are a Thug of the Bottle Street Gang.

    You are sick of the City Watch trying to oppress you and your friends.
    You are victorious when both the Loyalist Conspiracy and City Watch are eradicated.

    I'll see if I can get some details out of premium on what he needs to do. Apparently, he has something he has to do that will take a few days. If it doesn't screw us over, I'm willing to let him do it since a non-mafia leaving victorious is just as good as having them killed for us.
    Mikey CTS wrote:

    Okay. Good. CesareB, I'll drop that and hopefully he'll leave it alone. Thank you.
    Mill wrote:
    December 13
    So according to premium, he picks someone that he needs to keep alive for the rest of the game. He has no means to keep them from being killed, he just has to make sure that when the game ends, the person he has chosen is still alive. Also if his current target dies, he gets to pick a new one if he is still alive.
    Fiaryn wrote:
    December 13
    I'm gonna claim Bottle Street when pressed.

    Fiaryn December 13
    Also Premium has claimed the same thing to me.

    I'm wondering if there is a little more to his role than he is revealing. It might be worth copying him tonight if none of the non-loyalists make it obvious that they have a useful power.

    Fiaryn
    That is the correct opinion to have. THis is a gamble but eh what the fuck why not.

    I am...a Bottle Street Gang Thug. I have some sympathetic friends amongst the Guard, because of which I have a two point vote.

    Not exactly thrilling stuff but there you go.

    Anialos
    Since you showed me yours, I'll show you a bit of mine. Ironically the cat is a Wolfhound this time. I'm so darn loyal I can keep people from harm.

    Current orders are to protect one of them neutrals so they can help us outnumber them mafias.

    scary thing is that if you are the only person he has outed himself to, it will look really bad if he dies.

    I can just roleblock him until I die.
    Fiaryn wrote:

    I dunno, I think we can get away with it. He's soft networking enough that he could have credibly tripped the mafia's radar either way.

    If anything, roleblocking him suggests more intimate knowledge than killing him does.

    I don't see why fiaryn being the only person he's told would be a bad thing. The only person who would know is him and he'd be dead...

    Yeah, he's was pinging the special radar and I only had three PMs from him. I think we would get away because several people would point out that he wasn't doing a good job hiding his specialness.

    So the question is, do we want to have Cesare copy his guard ability tonight?
    Fiaryn wrote:

    Unless we out MORE village specials with more useful abilities, I don't see why not. Kill him and eat his heart to gain his power.

    I'm cool with it then.

    I'd prefer to sit on the knowledge and use it to destroy the village when they think they are safe.

    I dunno, what good is having an extra guard that we won't know where to place and can only use tomorrow? I think the best use of my power is as an action seer with benefits.

    CLARIFICATION: You can keep the guard to use whenever. You just have to use your doodad afterwards if you want to use more powers.

    I think you were also guarded by the mafia guard, but I don't know about roleblocked. If that was the case, I'd think that it would have been transferred to me, and I wouldn't have gotten a kill Night 1. But maybe I didn't; so you could grudge the other vig, but he wasn't trying to vig you.

    You were seered because of GrimmyTOA, care of ebum (to premium), care of Megafrost (to jdarksun), due to host error (should have been jdark<->stever, not jdark<->premium).
    You were vigged again because of REG Rysk, care of ebum (to premium), care of Megafrost (to jdarksun), due to host error (should have been jdark<->stever, not jdark<->premium).

    I think you were also guarded by the mafia guard, but I don't know about roleblocked. If that was the case, I'd think that it would have been transferred to me, and I wouldn't have gotten a kill Night 1. But maybe I didn't; so you could grudge the other vig, but he wasn't trying to vig you.

    You were seered because of GrimmyTOA, care of ebum (to premium), care of Megafrost (to jdarksun), due to host error (should have been jdark<->stever, not jdark<->premium).
    You were vigged again because of REG Rysk, care of ebum (to premium), care of Megafrost (to jdarksun), due to host error (should have been jdark<->stever, not jdark<->premium).
    Pretty sure I guarded ObiFett (too?).

    My reward was murder.

    Phalla, ladies and gentlemen.

    If it helps I felt really bad about murdering you. :cry:

    And with this game concluding I announce my retirement from Phalla. Players have become lazy with their votes, and I admit to being a part of that problem.

    I was indicted for not providing a reason for my vote, I responded with a reason, I was voted for by more people. This is not the first time it has happened, nor would it be the last. The game is designed to be played against other people. The personality matters a great deal in how you play, or rather, it should.

    I've made some good friends here, and experienced some legitimately great scenarios because of this game. I'd expect those people know who they are.

    Not to be that guy, but...faction game is faction game.

    It isn't about this game alone.

    Also nobody knew my faction going into day 2 since my soft network contacts were dead on day 1.

    I wish you wouldn't go, but the choice is ultimately yours to make. Keep in touch at least?

    Srsly though, what did you guys like/not like?
    Be brutally honest. I can take it!
    I want to know what to fix for if/when I do this again

    The narrations needed more color!

  • OminousLozengeOminousLozenge Registered User regular
    You mean in the list of the dead? As long as the narration provides sufficient clues, I thought not color-coding things was actually an interesting twist. Make people work for things (and jump to conclusions).

    It seemed like the faction leaders should have started masoned with one other member of their faction. Has anyone tried that in a faction game, and does it throw things off too much?

    Sometimes I have ideas for things.

    It's just easier for me to tell at a glance, that's all. I really got no complaints, just stating a preference.

    I like uncolored kills sometimes.
    It makes confirming the vig less certain, which makes for a more interesting game.

    Things I liked:

    The various factions seemed pretty well balanced. I mean they were all overpowered, but at least they were overpowered together
    Premium's role was really cool. It's too bad he died day 1.
    My role was pretty cool too. Basically an action seer who gets to use whatever power he sees. Makes for some interesting decisions.
    Uncolored kills do work really well.

    Things I didn't particularly like:

    Too many busdrivers. 1 busdriver is almost too many for a mini. 3, along with someone who absorbs powers, is just out of control. And obviously they cause an accounting nightmare.
    The bombs could probably have been better designed, just in my opinion. I know they didn't really come into effect but they seemed a little off, especially in what would have happened if they lost the vote.
    The narrations could have been a little more precise in order to account for uncolored kills.
    Speaking of narrations, while everyone appreciates when they're quick, there's no need to rush. If being 100% accurate takes an extra half hour, then take an extra half hour. :)

    Thanks for hosting this TRV.

    I agree with CesareB's likes.

    On the dislikes:
    -Agreed, there were too many busdrivers. I'd say one is probably more than enough for a mini, and that still might be too much. I'm finding that busdrivers are an obnoxious roll where they should be limited in numbers and probably frequency in power use (every other day, mechanic that limits consecutive uses, one time deal, each day have to choose new targets and/or wincon involves killing someone hilariously with busdriving).

    -Didn't really care for the concept of bombs in this game. I like the idea behind them blowing up if they get voted out. Having to target someone then hope they detonate you, if I read it right, seems really lame. I would just limit their detonation to only happen they get voted out (perhaps put a cap on how many players die in that scenario, could be increased if multiple weepers die in the process and survivors would be determined by RNG). I don't like how the concept essentially gives the village a no consequence vig kill, if you guess someone is mafia vig or SK, just pretend to let slip you're a major special and then see if they kill you, laugh when they die too.

    -Yeah, take longer if you needed it to make sure things are correct. I'd hope everyone would appreciate that since a screw up could fuck them over.

    Take care and see you around. Maybe come back in 6 months or so and try it out again after a nice healthy break if you're burnt out.

    Scattered thoughts:

    1. The uncolored kills are excellent.

    2. I like the fact that you always mentioned "curfew" at vote close. Thematic fluff, maybe. But it made me extremely hesitant to post anything between vote close and narration, I wasn't sure if there was some mechanic at work there.

    3. Were the factions uneven in numbers? That seems odd. I don't know that it was unbalanced, though.

    4. The progression of strictures in the narration was good, too. Made me wonder what was going on there, mechanically.

    5. This isn't a comment on the game design, really, but I gotta say I was scared as shit that the Weepers were a conversion cult and I was gonna get left out.

    1) glad you liked it. Figured they fit in a game based around stealth and subterfuge.

    2) just fluff! Hehe

    3)bottle street had one less, but had the bombs and no vanillagers

    4)just thought they were fun fluff

    5)i saw you freaking out :p
