The Great Phalla Detective


Journey back to London 1897.
It was the eve of our beloved Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and the year Her Majesty’s government came to the very brink of disaster.

What’s all this now?

This is a social deduction game taking place in a past alternate London.

Phalla is the Penny-Arcade Forum Version of the Party Game Mafia in which a small informed minority tries to outnumber the rest of the players by elimination. The majority(village) try to find suspicious behavior and remove the minority(mafia) to win. The minority use their kill to remove vocal villagers and those who are on to them. Sometimes there are reasonable powers that certain players get like being able to unilaterally kill another player or guard against a kill. More in depth General rules of Phalla can be found here.

New players are welcome as are old of course.

Specific rules can be found below:

Standard Phalla Rules/Mechanics:

You must vote each day. Vote in bold red for whomever you think is likely to be a threat to you. The winner of the vote will be eliminated every night. Tie votes will kill both people involved and the person causing the tie. Be careful.

In addition, everyone should make at least two posts each day. Failure to vote or contribute will lead to warning and replacement.

Do not directly quote anything from PMs with me, or take screenshots of them. It is okay to paraphrase role PMs however.

Do not add other players to PM conversations.

Do not anonymously contact anyone.

When you die you may make one ghost post which cannot contain any game information whatsoever.

Ask for clarifications in Bold DarkOrange. You can always PM me with clarification requests, or post them directly in the thread. If you have questions about your role you should probably use the PM method to avoid giving away info to the other players. They are *already* suspicious of you.

Make sure you invite me to any PMs or proboards you might form.

Order of actions: Vote>Grand Plans> Cunning Counters>Guard>Kill>Seer

The Day will Close at 3PM Eastern Time. Votes and orders cast at 2:59PM Eastern and earlier will count, those at 3:00PM Eastern and after will not count.

The game will run Monday through Friday, and break for the weekend. You may continue to vote, post, and scheme during this time but it is not required. If the game runs through an American Observed Holiday that will probably be a break day as well.

Specific Rules/Mechanics:

Standard Role PM:
You are...

A Citizen of London

You are a citizen of London. You are excited for the Queen’s upcoming Jubilee. You are certain that no crime syndicates led by the world’s greatest criminal mind will mess things up. Should be a fun party.

Win condition: Eliminate all threats to the kingdom.
