(My name is Phoenix Wright, and I am a Attorney. I use the rule of law to help those who can’t help themselves and find the truth in court!)
(Lately, things have been getting more and more hazardous, with all kinds of crime on the rise.)
(To help deal with the growing number of cases, a new court system has been introduced, the PHALLA SYSTEM. In this system, multiple trials are conducted in the same court, with witness testimonies and evidence deciding who is put on trial)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_kEKW_lL5k(The results have been disastrous, many innocents have been incarcerated and neighbors are suspicious of each other. I’ve made it my personal goal to save as many people as I can, find the corrupt individuals poisoning the court system, and get things back to normal around here)
(That’s where you come in, you’ve been chosen to take part In the latest PHALLA system cases. Help me find the real culprits and put wrong to right!)

This is a main game of Phalla for 50 players.
Are you familiar with the rules of Phalla?
>Um, I might need a refresher your honor
What is Phalla?
Phalla is the Penny-Arcade Forums' version of the party game Mafia.
The Basic Rules
The "village" consists of all players in the game. Included in the village are a small number of bad guys, commonly known as the "mafia". Normally, the mafia members all know one another at the beginning of the game, but nobody else knows anything about anyone other than themselves.
Each day (normally a 24-hour period) the village discusses and publically votes for one person to be executed that night. At the same time, the bad guys choose one person to kill each night and PM the name to the narrator. In larger games, the bad guys might get two kills per night or other abilities to use.
The good side wins if all of the bad guys die. The bad side wins if the number of good guys is less than or equal to the number of bad guys (on the assumption that at that point, they control the vote plus get their kill, so it's inevitable). Large games generally take between a week and two weeks. Small games usually last a week or less.
Usually, there will be one or more "special" roles among the good guys (and occasionally among the bad guys). Exactly who holds each role is only known to that person, and it may not even be known which or how many specials will be in any given game.
Each night, the narrator gives the details of who died, and normally whether they were a bad guy. Some games also include clues or outright statements if someone who died was a good special.
Living players may not communicate regarding the game with dead players and vice versa, unless there is some specific mechanic in place to do so. In that case, communication normally goes through the narrator. If you are dead and the moderator allows a "goodbye" post, make sure it includes absolutely no information about the game, even if you think the information is obvious. If you receive a PM or see a post breaking this rule, notify the person running the game immediately.
You may not use any anonymous method of communication to discuss the game. Forum-based PMs, external IMs, e-mails and other message boards (like proboards) are allowed as long as the person you are talking to knows who you are. You may not use screencaps to "prove" anything to anyone. Do not speak in code.
Along similar lines, don't use the "Add to conversation" feature. Phalla requires a certain amount of uncertainty, and since adding a person to a conversation allows them to see the entire thread, it can serve as a form of verification along the same lines of screen captures. If you wish to communicate something from a PM/conversation to a new player, then start up a new conversation with that individual.
Play nice. It's okay to argue, but don't get too hostile. If it's getting to the point where you're asking other people to quit the game, you're going too far. We're all here to have fun, so take it easy and keep as level a head as possible. Respect others and they'll respect you.
Common Variations
Many larger games contain multiple groups of bad guys working at cross-purposes (a Mafia vs. Werewolves game). Other games may put all players into different factions with each faction’s goal of eliminating a certain subset of the other factions - there may or may not be a common Mafia-style faction that all groups will need to eliminate to achieve victory.
Additional voting or other mechanics can also be used. At least one game has included a council or single person elected every other night who is able to use a power publically. For example, one game had an elected council able to shift the execution vote to the second person. Another had an elected emperor able to choose a person to kill.
In a small game, the typical size for a group of bad guys is 15-20%; the player population, although an individual game may lean toward the high end, particularly if there is only one group of bad guys in a larger game.
Often, everyone gets a "flavor" role in the game. Bad guys and good specials usually get a normal "villager" role in addition to their special role. This keeps people from using their initial PM to verify someone else's role. The two most common ways to do this are to (a) use the exact same message to everyone, or (b) give everyone a unique villager role.

Unlike previous trials, PHALLA allows for multiple defendants to be judged quickly in single day trials, clearing the court’s backlog. To accomplish this, testimony is taken from multiple witnesses (In addition to evidence submitted) and compiled into a list. The 3 individuals with the highest total of accusations will be put on trial. (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place votes) Unless the defendants secure an attorney to assist them, the preponderance of testimony and evidence will lead to their being found guilty and removed from the court. While some partcipants in the systems have multiple means to influence the courts, all possess 2 basic methods of influence.
Testimony: A participant may accuse a person by voting for them. As a reminder, the top 3 votes will all go to trial. Only a participant’s most recent vote counts.
Evidence: All participants come into the court with one piece of evidence, which has a variety of uses. Each piece of evidence may be used once before it is discarded. Only one piece of evidence may be used by a player per night.
In addition to all other possible actions your character has, the following two actions may be taken once per night:
Present Evidence: Presentation of evidence is very powerful in court and can mean the difference between the guilty and innocent being punished. You may use one piece of evidence for any of its effects
Trade Evidence: Sometimes the evidence you have may not help you with your testimony. If you can find a like-minded individual, you may trade evidence. If you have used your evidence, someone may give you their evidence. Remember, a citizen may only hold one piece of evidence at a time.
Sample Village PM:
Goal: Eliminate all threats to the village
You have also brought the following piece of evidence with you to court:
Clarifications:
Thralls, Millers, Conversions?
I'm sorry you'll have to present evidence to get me to talk about that!
Does this mean we could have a day where no one gets killed?
Potentially, though it is highly unlikely with the powers in play.
