Hotline: [MiniPhalla] - Cancelled

I'm here to tell you how to kill people

Knowing oneself means acknowledging ones actions. As of lately you've done some terrible things...

SLsC7ru.jpg

This is a Phalla based on the video game Hotline: Miami. There will be spoilers for the game in this Phalla, but as Hotline: Miami doesn't have that coherent a plot anyway this won't be that big a deal.

Players-
This is a 26-30 player mini, it's flexible.

Voting-
Vote in !Red for someone to be killed each night. If there should be a tie in the vote, both players will die. The order of actions is as follows, Misc->Kills->Vote.
Vote will close everyday at 1 am GMT. Every player must vote at least once a day as well as an additional post. Inactivity warnings will be issued.

Clarifications-
Standards clarification forms apply, ask in orange. Be free with your question asking, you might be surprised with the answers you get.

Other Rules-
Standard rules apply, no talking to the dead unless told otherwise, no screenshots, and send me a link to any proboards. This is a standard Phalla, but I like spicing things up a little bit.

Villager PM-
There is no standard villager PM in this game, everyone will have a unique role.

    Let's see if I can not get myself killed immediately because the phalla starts smack in the middle of my recovering from a nasty case of bronchitis!

    Source game looks pretty awesome. I think I'll try to play it over the next few days to not get spoiled.

    Since the vote comes last, does it trickle?

    Yup

  • premiumpremium Registered User regular
    I think this might be the first game I've played where the vote actually trickles!
    So excited for this rare opportunity.

    What precisely do you mean by "trickle?" My guess is it means that the votes, once cast, only get counted for voters who make it through to that step?

    It means if the vote winner dies by other means before the vote gets processed, then the second place person dies to the vote. Unless they too died to other means, then the third place person dies to the vote. Unless they too died to other means, etc, etc, etc.

    So the vote trickles down until it finds a person who is not dead to vigging.

    One of the more important consequences deals with: what happens in the case of ties?

    Ah, it's in the OP. OPs are for losers!
    If there should be a tie in the vote, both players will die

    That is dangerous, because what if the first place has 5 votes, second place has 3 votes, and there are ten people tied in third each with 2 votes?

    (Answer: EVERYONE DIES RAWR, assuming the mafia aren't stupid)

    I find it's more interesting when the vote has the potential to go tits up.

    the best thing ever was when my first phalla had vote trickles

    and every single person piled on a mafia member

    except for one person who just voted for the village guard

    and then the mafia killed the member leading the vote

    and the guard died from one vote
