    M.D.M.D. and then what happens? Registered User regular
    i'm voting on you cause you were implicated with another mafia in some type of dastardly deed

    actually I believe this is what started your votes?
    (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    Ok, so my partner that had boosted me was Grimmy. After revealing that I was up to level 3 already in the thread we talked about it in PM. The two suspect people that Grimmy said knew he was linked with me were Smasher and TRV. It obviously made Grimmy a prime target as we basically had a days headstart to hit lvl5 s link.

    although there is an earlier vote for you asking yourself to explain things, so i'm sure i'm missing some other parts from the latter half of day 3 as I wasn't really reading anything in this thread at that point and then there was about 200 new replies.

    Hey. Re: Phallona and special abilities.
    I'm sure that there are status effects that can be applied to players (definitely negative, potentially positive). Just if you're collecting info.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    This is definitely good to know. Thanks!
    May I ask how you came across this knowledge?

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Sure. My social link last night gave me the ability to remove status effects from my buddy (unfortunately, only my buddy).

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    OH DERP. Hahahaha. Mine did too and I didn't even put two and two together.
    Jesus I need some coffee

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Hah -- that's amazing.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Now I sound fishy as hell.
    SO! I am a fire elemental guy, and am looking for people to share info with. Would you be willing to tell me what element you are aligned with?

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    That would be my Arcana, or... ?

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    I'm bad at terminology. I am fire, and my secondary attack is fire based.
    So if you feel comfortable sharing both of your whatevers (not weakness!) we can share!

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Ah, fair enough. Yeah, I won't be telling anyone my weakness, but I'm a Lover and my secondary attack is Sonic.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Sound? Or Hedgehog?

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    That would be so great if I could wander around firing spiny red-shod mammals at people.
    Unfortunately, it's Sound. I am sad now.

    This is us talking about making a phalla. Read if you want!
    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Hit someone and make gold rings fly out of them. Collect them as XP.
    Brb, writing down phalla ideas.
    I want to make a super smash phalla. Like, a lot now.

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Sweet. I'd play.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    I'd need to write everything up, but I think it could be a pretty fun mini.
    Not sure how I'd break the playerbase down.
    Maybe give everyone a certain % of damage they have to stay below or they die to the next hit?
    And different characters can do different %s of damage
    and then you have randomly spawning item containers that you can try to open yourself (chance of explosion!) or you can pick up and throw at someone else. If you hit them with it, they take x% damage, but get the item inside if they survive the night.

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    People could set their own stats a bit to represent different characters (or choose a character when they sign up, maybe). Bowser would be slow (his attacks go second) but weigh a ton (he can take more damage before he hits his threshold).
    How do you decide who gets to the item containers first? The battleground could have three levels and init determines order of action....

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    I'm not sure. Was thinking maybe there can be three different stages that everyone is fighting on, and as people are killed, stages close off?
    Maybe let people choose what they want to do. Everyone gets two actions a night.
    Move to another stage: takes both actions
    search - higher chance to find item containers
    attack - normal at full initiative, 1.5x attack at half initiative
    dodge - 25% dodge chance? always takes place first

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    I like it a lot. You'd have to watch for people just going full survival (high init, move a lot, dodge when necessary) but if you make stage transfer happen after all other actions they won't be able to just hop around indefinitely.
    Maybe up dodge's chance a bit to compensate.
    How about an area attack? Hit those around you at 25% strength each, happens last.
    You could do preset stat blocks:
    kime signs up and chooses Princess Peach. He then finds out that she's Init: 5, Str: 2, DamLim: 3, representing someone quick but relatively weak and fragile. She gets a permanent +20% to dodge, representing her ability to float above the battlefield on her little umbrella.

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Mafianess would have to be a separate layer RNG'd over the characters in that case. Alternately, you could do it blind and have Bowser et al be the mafia.
    I just sort of like the idea of people rushing to sign up so that they don't get stuck with someone terrible.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Ok this is a thing that needs to happen. You wanna help me set it up?
    It would mean you wouldn't be able to play, sadly. But I like the way you think.
    I need to add this to my list of phallas I want to do. The other I'm kicking around is an ongoing series that follows the discovery, landing, transformation, and growth of a new planet after Earth goes bye bye.

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    I'd love to help. I.. uh... I also really like the sound of that Landphall on New Earth series a lot.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Saber and I were working on that one together and it sort of petered out a bit. So I'm not sure if that's one we will pick up or if I'll work on that one solo or not. I think it would be a lot of fun either way. It'll be like Obi's with a bunch of the surviving characters living on through the story and such, but it won't have any existing universe to tie it to, so I think there will be a lot more freedom as far as the storyline goes.
    I need to make a word document of all of these things. I keep having ideas I want to fire off at people, and then forget them. I had a borderlands phalla in my head but I forgot most of it. It sounded fun too haha

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Well, he's listening in now (maybe we should slough off the other discussion). I've been mulling over a Phalla of Earthsea in my head. There's got to be a way to leverage the idea of True Names in the phalla setting.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    He said we would talk about it after the phalla was over hehe. I'm not trying to move around behind his back or nothin'!
    Still throwing my brainthinks onto a word document now so afterwards I can be like HEY LOOK WHATCHA THINK?
    And if he doesn't like it, then I can make my own phalla! With blackjack! And hookers!

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    I just meant because they're a) likely getting flooded with PMs anyway and b) might want to play so they don't want to know all of our secrets. If we're going to keep talking Super Phalla Brothers Melee we should stop pestering SOE and INANTP about it.
    TheRoadVirus January 22
    SO who is striking you as mafia this game?

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    ---REDACTED---, always.
    ---REDACTED--- was apparently helping to organize a hit squad last night -- which seems out of character for someone who has played as much Phalla as him. The people he was working with (or at least the one who approached me about it) are relatively unpracticed, so... I don't know. It's sticking with me a bit.

    TheRoadVirus January 22
    Hmm that is a bit suspicious

    GrimmyTOA January 22
    Yeah, I think it's just something to keep an eye on for now, but if things get tight he's where I'll likely be putting my vote.

    So yeah, if you can tell me where in there he told me who he was linked with, that'd be super.

    Is this necessarily the case? Why do we assume Bradicus was telling the truth? Why did the mafia kill his partner rather than him?

    Right, that's what's really sticking out for me here. If the mafia wanted to knock down an S-link that was further along than most others, they could have just taken down Bradicus. But Bradicus mentioned that it was his partner that had the boosting ability, not him, so the fact that Grimmy ended up dying leads me to believe that the mafia had inside knowledge of their link. And supposedly, the only two people who knew were a now-dead innocent and TRV.

    Might not be a terrible idea to make sure that both TRV _and_ Bradicus go down tonight. It seems awfully likely that one or the other of them is mafia.

    I am pretty sure I'm dead either way tonight, but I'd really rather the mafia have to waste abilities killing me as opposed to the village wasting the vote, which is why I asked that we vote somewhere else.
    I know that probably sounds suspicious or whatever, and I'd probably be suspicious of me if the tables were turned.

    Anyway, these are the folk that I find suspicious at the moment:
    38thDoe - Due to previously cleared up stuff. I feel with his wording, he was intentionally misleading you guys and painting me in a bad light.
    Bradicus - Due to previously cleared up stuff. I think he is trying to push focus onto a (rather easy at this point) scapegoat, which would buy the mafia time to do whatever noodling they're doing. It's his word against mine at this point, but I've given you all the evidence I have to support my case.
    ObiFett - He hasn't contacted me. It's not much, but it's unusual for him.
    Retaba - Also hasn't contacted me save for a quick PM, and has been rather quiet as far as I can tell.

    Likelihood that Bradicus simply killed off Grimmy before they reached lvl 5?

    Not to mention we can't really confirm that's what Grimmy said because... well... he's dead.

    That's a possibility considering that a max level social link might be similar to MrT and I's ability to know each other's identities (in this case we are masons).

    I'm going to out Bradicus for him, don't think it is a useful enough power to not do something the way things are swinging.

    Bradicus was able to maintain 2 social links at the same time, but not advance both past lvl 1 or something like that.

    Now I was able to S link successfully day 1 with him and Grimmy was as well since they were telling us what power they were getting from teh boost ahead of everyone else.

    This seems like a really weird power for a shadow to have-not saying it's impossible but just sorta odd since it would allow them to be even more deceiving.

    Now I don't know if Grimmy ever acknowledged there S linking, I think we just learned about it after his death-someone else can probably back this up.

    Known Social Link effects:
    Level 1 : Remove status affects. Seems like mafia are the only ones who cause status affects, so this ability is only helpful to the village
    Level 2: Attack Bonus. This ability is great for mafia
    Level 3: One way buddy Busdriver? Only helps mafia if they can get their buddy to take their hits.♣
    Level 4: ??
    Level 5: Mason??? Obviously bad for the mafia♠
    ♣Right now only confirmed by Bradicus
    ♠Right now only guessed by Mrt & Mi-go

    *If* the mafia actually get the same effects from linking, then it would seem like to be most efficient mafia would want to link up to level 2+ with someone and try and coordinate attacks on villagers, and then stop their link sometime before level 5.

    Mafia already are hard to track down using the mechanics, maintaining 2 S links with villagers would make it impossible to catch him. Also don't know why he would have warned me that I couldn't S link past lvl 1 with him if he was also linking with Grimmy and told me to find a new partner.

    Unless I've just been linking with mafia all game-that would suck.

    If Bradicus was a 2 for 1 SLinker, then there either has to be a second one, or somebody got left in the cold (or the second link of the 2 for 1 was not used). Do we know if someone never linked on day 1?

    Sega is absolutely correct in this. I'm some sort of a chatty kathy at high school. The reason I was announcing earlier in the thread that I needed a new partner was that I had just found out that my second s link partner could only reach level 1. It was like 30 minutes to vote close and I felt like poop leaving sega high and dry so I attempted to find him a new partner. The plan of a true evil mastermind

    TRV is an easy vote for a bunch of reasons.

    I still think Infidel put Assuran's name out there knowing he was about to die red in hopes it would help his mafia buddy.

    Can we talk about this:
    Baidol, Gdon
    Langly, Yamatano-Orochi
    Heffling, Lachesis

    Gandalf_the_Crazed, Orthrus
    jdarksun, Mothman
    Megafrost, Throne
    Xenogears of Bore, Ganga

    NeoToma, Sylph
    GrimmyTOA, Cybele
    Smasher, Ose
    The_Anonymous, Jack Frost

    Stever777, Thoth

    Munkus Beaver, Orobas - Christa Marley

    Malkor, Nidhoggr - A Shadow

    Rawkking Goodguy, Slime - Richard Duncan
    Infidel, Dominion - a shadow

    Enlightenedbum, Belial - Mr. John Gerstmann

    So the non vanillagers all have the format:
    [Forum Name], [type?] - [Game Name]

    With two of the mafia having the format:
    [Forum Name], [type?] - A Shadow

    One of the green names REALLY looks like it belongs in the red name list. Can someone with more knowledge about Persona explain what Orobas is and why its different from Nidhoggr, Slime, and Dominion, and therefore is likely not a thrall?

    Determining wether or not Munkus was a Thrall could go a long way towards vote analysis.
