Notes on a Revolution - Sign Up Thread
My dearest Marquise,
Forgive me for not writing to you sooner. Even now, I am pressed for time, and my heart is filled with worry, for I fear that this kind of correspondence is no longer safe. But I MUST write back to you now, if only to experience the thrill of waiting for your next letter again, to wake up to each new morning full of excitement and hope, knowing that your thoughts are with me, cherishing the unique bond between us.
My Lady, try as I might, I cannot deny this: your letter pierced my heart. Your understanding of politics and your love for our country impress me deeply, and there is more truth to your concerns than you can imagine. Indeed, France is in peril. Peasants are rioting on the streets of Paris. The bourgeoisie are openly mocking the King. And the Church... Oh! I know how deeply religious you are, my Lady, but I fear the Church of France has gone blind with avarice.
Revolution! They speak about it openly now. The rebels and their sympathizers have gained influence among the nobility, among those too weak and feeble-minded to see their propaganda for what it is. The noblest of principles - charity! justice! - have been corrupted beyond recognition to support this rebellion, to support treason, for that is what it is! To make matters worse, there is talk about war. Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor of Hungary and Bohemia, has threatened to invade France "to restore stability", should the King fail to quench the rebellion. I feel confident that his true goals are as obvious to you as they are to me. His agents are already working in France, even close to the King; I am certain of that! They seek to undermine the Crown, to feed the rebellion, to erode the pride and power of France until our country is ripe for picking. Truly, my Lady, these are terrible times, and the Court is filled with traitors and fools.
Stay at your estate, my Lady. It is safe there. Do not hesitate to ask the good Chevalier to deal with the peasants, should they become difficult. I know how good-hearted you are, but we cannot afford to be soft. We must be brave.
Yours, always,
Comte de Rosemonde
Some features of this Phalla:
- Hosted by myself and Hylianbunny
- Aiming for 40 players, no upper cap (I'll just adjust factions and kill counts accordingly).
- Two villager factions who may or may not have mutually exclusive win conditions.
- Two monster factions.
- Most "dead" players go to prison; there will be a prison thread, and they can affect the game in various ways. Players who actually get murdered or executed are just gone: there will be no dead thread.
- Two positions with special abilities: players are elected into these positions.
- A bunch of specials and items.
- Most rules governing special abilities etc. will be known to the players at the beginning of the game.
Because I'm on Euro time zones, narration time will be somewhat unorthodox. It will either be early evening or mid-morning for Americans. Please state which option you prefer when signing up, if it makes a difference to you. I may or may not ignore the popular opinion. (If I need Hylianbunny to handle the narration on any given day, the time may be different on that day depending on what works for him.)

!vote Jdarksun for death.
!Elect TehSpectre and Gnasty.
There, got that all out of the way.
next week.
And I am in Southern California, and would prefer mid morning. I doubt anyone else will though.

Depending on the sign ups, Friday or Saturday will be the first day of the game. Probably Saturday, and the first couple of days are always pretty random so no worries.
!Eat cake.
Not the girl, though.
these things are so addictive why do the French make such good shit
NNID: Hakkekage
Because they know the secret that everything is better with heavy cream. If their is a dish you can not put any more heavy cream in, then you add butter.
Viola.
Also move to America, because everything is better over here (except the italian food).
NNID: Hakkekage
Now I ain't accustomed to such horrible sentiments!
I'd much rather settle things with a wrench to the face.
NNID: Hakkekage
I told PK that I would see him in this game. Perhaps I should make it my goal to destroy him utterly, regardless of what my role pm tells me.
I think the odds are well in his favor, but if I pull it off, those betting on me make a lot of money!
I find this an acceptable solution.
Yes, do this... for France!
Also, I !sign up on the assumption that my inability to play past Wednesday due to PAX will resolve itself.
NNID: Hakkekage
I think I aim going to win this Phalla, because I can.
Don't prod the bull or you will get the horns Mr. Ardor.
My lies can run deep like a well and I have corrupted many.
Excellent. Make with the wench.
Oh and because I know I won't be able to stop myself...Sign Up.

I'm naive, but not an idiot.* :x
NNID: Hakkekage
I couldn't tell. Wasn't certain how obvious a single letter change would be.
Er...I mean...
What now?
It is on Emperor Precisionk. Perhaps it will be an epic battle, that may very well conclude with both of us being obliterated on day 1. If that be the case, I bet my death will help my team out more than your death will help your team! Ha!
And what about that scene where Saffron is trying to seduce Inara?
