You have been called to the Karma Temple and look about you to see faces, some friendly, most not; you were called here, a rare interruption in the Junkyard, and you do not yet know why.
Suddenly, the large spire in the center of the room springs to life.
“Citizens of the Junkyard, welcome to the Karma Temple. You have each been infused with Atma. You now each have strengths and weaknesses as befit your Atma, but your goals are unchanged from what they always were: destroy your enemies, devour the other clans, and reign supreme over the Junkyard.
“Note, Citizens, that upon activation of your Atma, an anomaly was detected in Karma Temple routine $A_N which may cause destabilization and have dire effects on both the Karma Temple and the outlying Junkyard. Please return here each night and input your query results; we will investigate the most popular query request and will provide data regarding that target the following day.”
You recall a strange light that appeared only hours earlier, and you now feel a stirring deep within you, as if the Karma Terminal’s words have triggered something inside you. It only takes moments, but your eyes flash with a new hunger and your primal desire for supremacy has overridden all other impulses.
Welcome to the Junkyard.
Each day begins and ends in the Karma Temple but the bulk of each day is spent in the Junkyard, fighting.

As of this posting, all role PMs have gone out, and it is now game on. Day One will end at 9PM EST tomorrow (Monday, 7/23).
One last rule, and this one is the most important of all:
HAVE FUN!
Posts
Wonder how this'll work.
Have fun everyone, and if anything is unclear, please PM me. If it's something I can clarify I will clarify it, otherwise I will tell you that I cannot clarify it. It's best to PM me for clarifications, though, instead of asking publicly.
seems interesting, though i havent seen this before
Don't really care. Make sure it is colored though.
Clarification: Voting provides data, not death.
Voting will indicate whether or not the queried individual constitutes an anomaly and may or may not reveal other data.
So I'm not gonna just vote for him right off the bat.
No harm no foul then for !query wiggin then.
Also, the source material is just for flavor, the mechanics were written to suit my needs for this phalla.
query:Wiggin
In case of a tie, the Karma Temple will select a query target at random between the tied query targets.
Clarification request denied.
For tonight.
i'm tempted to vote Drez!
But Quetzi's usually pretty loud. But he's been pretty quiet so far.
So... let's see what's under the covers (:winky: :winky:)
target: Quetzi
Bedtime. Later people.
Oh god the walls are closing in I can't breathe
This would be fine if Quetzi wasn't one of the three most active posters in the thread with 4 posts.
Something fishy about that vote.
!Query: neville
And with that, I'm going to bed.
Have fun!
!query SpeedySwaf because I never played a Phalla with him before.
First day ends TONIGHT at 9PM EST.
All private actions must be in my inbox by 9PM. All public votes must be cast by 9PM. Everyone must act and vote, no abstentions.
:x
You'll never find out that my secret weakness is for delicious chocolate.
Oh, wait...
I am generally pretty quiet when I go to sleep.
I guess the only pretense we have to go on for the public vote is finding and eliminating whatever this "anomaly" is; I assume it's a Sylar/Lanfear-esque lone wolf.
Only lanfear sleeps.
query: Shamus
Sleep, but let's assume I was fucking the neighbor's wife. :winky:
query: neville
Yeah, doesn't really surprise me.
Me neither.
