Dwarf Fortress 2: Necromantic Boogaloo
Overseer’s Log
3 Felsite - 546
The Elven caravan arrived today, trying to sell us all kinds of useless wooden armor and weapons. Zas was ordered to try and buy their food, booze and lumber instead. Otherwise today has been fairly uneventful.
17 Felsite - 546
Zas has had some success, we’re taking all of the Elves lumber off their hands and a good amount of food and booze in exchange for a few crates of jewelry and other crafts. Ordered the haulers to start moving bins from the stockpile.
Some fisherdwarves went to fish by the old tower and haven’t been seen for a while, which is odd since there are no carp in these parts. We will send out a small patrol to investigate.
23 Felsite - 546
Well, the Elven deal is off. Apparently they were offended that we were including the wooden bins with our trinkets to make it easier for them to handle. These are the same wooden bins that they sold us cloth in just last year. They’re packing up all their goods and leaving in a huff. If these idiots come again next year we’re just going to dump a huge pile of junk all over the trade depot and they can pick it all up by themselves.
The patrol hasn’t found any trace of the fisherdwarves, and now a few hunters and woodcutters have gone missing as well. We’re going to send a few proper militia squads out to see if something has moved into the tower. It’s just a rundown relic of a civilization past, I’m surprised the old thing is still standing.
26 Felsite - 546
The Elves didn’t get far. The squads were lost.
Maybe lost is the wrong word, because I certainly know where they are right this very second.
We ordered every dwarf back inside and sealed the gates. Not all of them made it back in. Those who didn’t joined the Elves, our missing Dwarves, our squads, and a large assortment of random other undead in trying to find a way into the Fortress.What the heck?
This is a Phalla, Penny Arcade Forums version of the party game Mafia.
This phalla is based on
Dwarf Fortress.
Familiarity with the source material is not necessary but may enhance your enjoyment of this phalla.
This sounds interesting! May I please know more?
General rules of Phalla can be found
here.
Each day, you must vote for one player to be killed. Votes must be placed in
Bold Red. The winner of this vote will be publicly lynched, beaten, or otherwise have their life ended.
Tie votes are bad, as always.
In addition, everyone should try make at least two non-vote posts each day. Failure to vote or contribute will lead to warning and replacement.
Vote close is 0:00 Mountain Time(2:00 Eastern Time). All votes and actions at 23:59 Mountain Time and before will be counted, while any submitted after will not.
Do not directly quote host PMs, or share screenshots of them. Paraphrasing is ok.
Do not anonymously contact anyone.
When you die you may make one ghost post which cannot contain any game related information. After that please do not discuss the game with anyone still alive.
Are there any special mechanics I should know about?
Of course!
Every dwarf has the ability to perform various labors.
At the start of the game any player can perform the following labors:Mining - Produces Ore and adds it to the stockpile.
Brewing - Produces Drinks and adds it to the stockpile.
Cooking - Produces Food and adds it to the stockpile.
Other labors will become available as the game progresses.
Oh! But what are the resources used for?Ore - When a certain Ore threshold is reached, one dwarf will have a Strange Mood. More information about this will be revealed once the threshold is reached for the first time.
Drinks - Every dwarf will consume 1 Drink every night. Every night the fortress runs out of Drinks each dwarf will lose 1 point of Sanity.
Food - Every dwarf will consume 1 Food every night. Every night the fortress runs out of Food each dwarf will lose 1 point of Sanity.
Other resources will be revealed as the game progresses.
Current stockpile levels of each resource will be included in the narration.
Sanity? What’s that?
Sanity is essential to keep the fortress running smoothly. A dwarf that runs out of Sanity will begin to Tantrum. A dwarf who is Tantruming will not be able to perform any normal actions until they regain some sanity. The Tantruming dwarf may Accost another dwarf, regaining a single point of sanity but causing the accosted dwarf to lose a point.
That's all very nice, but what if I have a question?
Ask for clarifications in
Bold DarkOrange. You may PM me with clarification requests, or post them directly in the thread. If you have questions about your role please send me a PM.
What should I do if I wanted to contact someone privately?
Make sure you invite me to any proboards you might form.
Please add me to all PMs related to this game.
Do not add other players to existing PM conversations.
Anything else I should know?
Special thanks to
@Mill for some feedback on the mechanics.
Order of actions:
Labors -> Resource Consumption -> Vote -> Defensive/Misc Actions -> Offensive Actions

I'm so down for this, how do I sign up?
Please make a post in
Bold Limegreen or something else that I’ll notice indicating your desire to sign up. If you would like to sign up for the reserve list, please indicate it in your post.
When you sign up you may also suggest/vote for a fortress name in
Bold Dodgerblue. If you would like to vote for a randomly generated name, just vote ‘random’ or something similar.
When you sign up please make up a name for your character and send it to me via PM. As always, it’s probably a good idea that you don't make it something that could be used to identify you.
Failure to submit a name to me will result in you being assigned a random dwarven name.
This phalla was designed for 45 players, but I can scale it up if we have more interest.

Partygoers take their extra drink before the regular amount of drinks are taken.
If there are not enough drinks for the partygoers to get their extra drinks, the party will be declared "lamer than an elf funeral" and nobody will gain the extra sanity. Names of present dwarves will still be given out. Then everyone in the fortress will lose sanity because if there aren't enough drinks for the party there certainly aren't enough drinks to get everyone through the working day.
Only names will be revealed
Every dwarf loses the sanity.
The dwarf who is accosting the other tantruming dwarf would regain sanity as normal. The tantruming dwarf who was accosted would have the sanity gain from accosting another dwarf cancelled out by the sanity loss from being accosted. Sanity has a lower limit of 0.
A tantruming dwarf may accost another dwarf, earning them back a single point of sanity but costing the accosted dwarf a point

The only injuries would be hurt feelings and damaged sanity
