Do YOU have what it takes to be Phalla's best board cook?
Do YOU have what it takes to be Phalla's best board cook?
~ Prelude ~
Somewhere in the cold, dark hell that is Faux Narrowcasting Company...
"My lord! I have a new idea for reality TV!"
"Speak, minion. But be quick of it. I still need to cancel the next wave of promising science fiction shows."
"My lord! The Voice on NBC proves to be popular. What if we combined that... with a cooking show!"
"A good enough pitch. Now set the hook."
"My lord! We make the judges cook side by side with the contestants! And we give everyone stage identities, but their real identities are only revealed upon elimination! Also, there will be shocking twists! And maybe surprise guest judges!"
"Make it so."
~ Auditions ~
"OK people, settle down. I know you're all excited to show us what you've got, but first off we need to go over the basics."
What is this?
This is a Phalla for at least 15 players, but is infinitely scalable. I will run it with as many people as sign up. The basic rules, as established by the community, are:
- You may not screenshot any conversation in an attempt to confirm anything.
- You may not add anyone to an already established PM chain.
- You may make one "ghost post" when you die, which may not contain any game information, and then you may not speak on game events any longer.
- If you create any proboards, you must invite the host(s).
- You must include the host(s) in any PMs you have with other players.
- Editing a vote post invalidates it; invalid votes must be replaced with valid votes.
- You must vote for a player each day until directed otherwise. Going two days without making at least one post and a vote post will result in your removal from the game.
Signing Up
To sign up to play, post in Bold Limegreen. Sign ups will be open at least through the weekend.
Voting
Each day, every player must vote for a non-removed player in Bold Red. The player with the most red votes at the end of the day will be removed from the game. Votes close and days end at 10:30 EST; vote posts with a later time stamp will not be considered.
Day 1
The dawning of the first day depends on how many of you are getting GTA 5. The game can start on either Monday or Wednesday. If you have a preference, please specify it.
Phalla Mechanics
This is a standard Village vs. Mafia game. The Village's goal is to eliminate the Mafia. The Mafia's goal is to outnumber the village.
"Got that? Great. Now, let's talk about safe food preparation."
Unique Mechanics
This is a cooking-themed Phalla, and one that recommends a heavy amount of player contribution. Players may create a character. Players may also choose to participate in the daily Challenges and Tests.
The word "may" here is specifically chosen: if a player does not want to participate in the cooking portions of this game, the host (or a designated host representative) will take any required actions in their stead. Host created characters will be generated randomly. Though host will attempt to take reasonable actions during the Challenges and Tests, no guarantee is given. The player may also abdicate that responsibility to another player, but that of course has its own risks.
Character Creation
Important Link --> Character creation is now open. <-- Important LinkEvery chef has three sets of attributes: Preparation Skills, Ingredient Skills, and a School of Cookery.
Preparation Skills
Ten points are allocated among the following:
- Oven: Roasting, braising, anything involving the oven.
- Pan: Searing, shallow-frying and stir-frying.
- Saucepan: Boiling, steaming and poaching.
- Plate: Presenting the finished dish.
Ingredient Skills
Thirty points are allocated among the following, with no skill having fewer than two points:
- Desserts: Sweet desserts from fruit salads to sorbets.
- Exotics: Unusual ingredients such as snake, insects and ostrich eggs.
- Ornaments: Small, high-flavour sides such as caviar and quail's egg.
- Red Meat: Dark meats such as beef, lamb and game such as venison.
- Seafood: Fish and shellfish.
- Starch: Potato, Pastry, Pasta and Rice.
- Vegetables: Anything from asparagus to zucchini.
- White Meat: Poultry and light meats such as chicken or veal.
School of Cookery
Choose one:
- Caribbean
- Chinese
- English
- French
- Greek
- Indian
- Italian
- Japanese
- Spanish
Cooking MechanicsFor each Challenge and Test, every chef will be preparing one or more Dishes. Dishes are combinations of two or three Ingredients, each of which is cooked individually. After each Ingredient is cooked, the Dish is Plated. The score of the Dish is the total of each Ingredient's Quality plus the Quality of the Plating.
To prepare an Ingredient, a chef must select a Preparation method and an amount of Flair that will go into the preparation. A number of six-sided dice are rolled equal to the chef's skill with that Ingredient type. Dice whose values are equal to or less than the Flair value are eliminated from the results. Each point the chef has in the chosen Preparation method may then be used to modify any die's result. If at this point all the dice match (2 dice minimum), a bonus die may be rolled. If this result matches the other results, the process continues until a non-matching result is rolled. When no more dice can be rolled, the number of matching dice determines how well the Ingredient was Prepared:
- Zero: The Ingredient is ruined! Subtract the Ingredient's Risk score from the final quality of the dish.
- Two: Acceptable. Add one to the Dish's Quality.
- Three: Well done. Add either the attempted Flair OR the Ingredient's Flavor to the Dish's Quality.
- Four: Excellent job! Add the attempted Flair and the Ingredient's Flavor to the Dish's Quality.
- Five or more: Truly a Five Star Masterchef in the making! Not only do you add the attempted Flair and the Ingredient's Flavor to the Dish's Quality, but a bonus die will be rolled during Plating.
When preparing an Ingredient in the chef's School of Cookery, the chef will roll an extra die.
Once per Challenge or Test, a chef may choose to use their Signature Touch on an Ingredient. This will give the chef an extra die to roll during that Ingredient's Preparation.
Flavor Combinations
Certain Ingredients have Flavors that, when combined with Ingredients having complimentary Flavors, improve the overall Quality of the Dish. The Ingredient must be successfully prepared (ie, not be ruined) for this bonus to occur.
When each Ingredient has been Prepared, the Dish must be Plated. Like during Ingredient Preparation, a chef will decide an amount of Flair that will go into Plating the Dish. A number of six-sided dice are rolled equal to the chef's Plate Preparation Skill. Dice whose value are equal to or less than the Flair value are eliminated. Each point the chef has in Plate may then be used to modify any die's result. If all dice match, bonus dice may be rolled as described above. When no more dice can be rolled, the number of matching dice determines how well the Dish was Plated:
- Zero: Sloppy. Subtract the attempted Flair from the Dish's Quality.
- Two: Good enough. Quality is not affected.
- Three or more: Excellent! The attempted Flair is added to the Dish's Quality.
Please note that dice rolling will be handled by an automated process. Chefs will submit Ingredient selections, Preparation methodology, attempted Flair for each Ingredient and Plating, and whether or not the chef wishes to use their Signature Touch via a Google Form that will be shared with the players.
Challenges and Tests
Each day is broken into two parts - a Challenge Phase and a Test Phase. Challenge Phases end at 10:30 am Eastern, while the Test Phase ends at 10:30 pm Eastern (normal vote close). Winning the Challenge Phase will give you a huge advantage for the second half of the day!
Oh my god what?
That's why it's optional. You can play this like a regular game of Phalla, you'll just miss out on the bonus stuff.
Crowning the Five Star Masterchef
The last villager standing will win the title of this season's Five Star Masterchef. This has no bearing on whether the village or the mafia wins the overall game.
Huge props goes to @SUPERSUGA for his awesome Five Star Chef game, upon which the Cooking Mechanics are based.
