Lord of the Rings: The Phalla of the RingThe One Ring has been found and that cannot be a coincidence. Sauron has not been seen, but dark things have begun happening more and more.Rumors of the Ringwraiths have begun circulating far and wide and some say Mordor might no longer be quiet.
It is clear to some that something must be done and done while there is still time.
A Fellowship must be formed, to remove the world of Sauron's Ring of Power.Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. How to Vote:
The War of the Ring is beginning. Even as a commoner, it is obvious to everyone that the lands have become dangerous and every stranger is potentially an agent of Mordor. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures; once a day you may vote for a person to be mobbed and killed, for the safety of us all.
Do this by !vote <person>... such as
!vote neville
To retract your vote, please use this form:
!retract neville
The person with the most votes at the end of each day will be removed from the game, likely in a violent manner.
Usually.
There are a lot of forces at work here, both good and bad. While not all of you are a "special" role, all of you are important. Do not let Middle-Earth down; please vote and contribute to the game threads.
Rules:
All public voting closes at 8PM PST/11PM EST every night EXCEPT for Day 1 which ends on Monday May 26 at 8 PM PST.
All private actions must be in by 8PM PST/11PM EST every night as well. NO EXCEPTIONS.
This means special abilities, items, or WHATEVER.
IF YOU ARE A SPECIAL AND DO NOT USE YOUR ACTIONS, YOU WILL BE REPLACED. PLAY THE GAME IF YOU SIGN UP!!
* Do not forward/share/screenshot/etc your role PM(s). Do not try and be clever and argue semantics by saying you only "copy and pasted" your role. You know what this means.
* No images unless they meet the board rules AND are under a spoiler tag. Be smart about this. LoTR Themed pictures are OK, but don't go overboard.
* You do not have to vote daily, but you should vote daily unless you have a strong reason not to. "Having plans and not having time to play Phalla today" is not a strong/good reason.
* IF YOU ARE A SPECIAL ROLE AND DO NOT USE YOUR ABILITIES, YOU WILL BE REPLACED. REPEATING THIS FOR GOOD MEASURE.
* If you are removed from the game for inactivity you cannot rejoin and will likely not be able to play in future Phallas of mine. Please don't do this.
* You are not allowed to vote for yourself. Or attack yourself.
* You must have at least two on-topic content-filled posts per game day in the gamer thread.
* All actions take place simultaneously.
* Please do NOT edit your vote posts; just retract & vote for someone else when changing your vote
* Narration/Results for each day will indicate attack attempts and failures, deaths/arrests, etc.
* Please PM me if you would like clarification on a rule, mechanic, ability or anything else. I will clarify the info for the thread if necessary. I DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS.
* You may make one goodbye post if you die, but no more than that unless you have been told otherwise.
* Dead players may not converse with active participants on any game-related matters (unless you have been told otherwise)
* There is no dead thread; do not make one or discuss the game with anyone alive, to re-iterate the previous point.
* Request a clarification in orange in the thread. If you do not get an answer, send it via PM.
Do not assume you know how everything is going to work right off the bat.
Factions/Win Conditions:
There are multiple. Your PM will explain this to you.
Again, don't copy/paste/photograph/replicate/etc your PM please.
Items/Abilities?
Many players have an item/ability they can use, even if they are not a special.
This should be done by Private Message to me daily (or however often you choose to use the item/ability).
The way you should send them in is in the next section.
Sending in Orders: HOW I DO IT?!?!
Send in your orders to me daily before the time limit.
You may NOT change your orders once you send them in.
There are 85 people and my mailbox has a limited amount of space.
So THINK about what you want to do and then send it in.
If you perform an action on person A and they resign or are replaced, your ability will automatically go towards their replacement.
Example of a good PM:
Subject: Day 2 orders for Frodo
Ability: Get gay with Samwise
Item: Wear my pretty One Ring
Setting up Forums/IM policies/etc:
1. If you set up a forum, PM me a link to it. I don't care if the forum is legit or not. If you have a forum/proboard/etc you make up, I better get a PM about it or there will be wrath.
2. If you are unclear on a power/ability/mechanic, ASK. If you wish to fake role claim (or an actual reveal), that is fine, but try to keep me out of it.
"Epic Reveal: I am Sauron!" is ok.
"Neville told me that the evil people should contact me because he will be getting home late tonight" is NOT ok.
3. Play nice. No more detail needs to be said here. Just do it.

would you like to share a tent young adventurer.
you can take first watch.
I hear a foul voice on the wind!
...Oh, that's just Zot.
?
So people can't say "Neville told me that my power is FAKEEVILSEERKOSHIAN!"
Because the way you have that phrased, you can't make fake role claims.
I haven't gotten my role PM yet, or this would be an evil post.
I may be easy, but I'm not that easy.
Let's have some Shire herb first. :P

Modifying rule for clarification.
Zot please read the rules, as voting for yourself is breaking one.
lives a brave little Hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe, and fuzzy wooly toes,
he lives in a Hobbit Hole and everybody knows him
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - He's only 3 feet tall...
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - The bravest little hobbit of them all...
Now, Hobbits are peace-lovin' folks, you know,
they're never in a hurry and they take things slow.
They don't like to wander away from home,
they just like to eat and be left alone -
but one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of o-old.
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - He's only 3 feet tall...
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - The bravest little hobbit of them all...
Well, he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!
He riddled with Gollum!
A magic Ring he stole!
He was chased by Wolves,
lost in the forest,
escaped in a barrel from the Elf King's ha-alls!
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - He's only 3 feet tall...
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now he's back in his home in the land of Shire -
that brave little Hobbit whom we all admire -
just sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold,
a-puffin' on his pipe in his Hobbit Ho-ole -
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - He's only 3 feet tall...
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - The bravest little hobbit of them all!
Bilbo - Bilbo Baggins - The bravest little hobbit of them all!~ :whistle:
Do a dance. A shire dance.
hmmm Safety dance the shire dance.

"Go up, thou bald head." -2 Kings 2:23
!Vote Rainfall
You always seem to survive day 1 regardless, though, so I don't expect you'll die. Thus, my vote is safe on you.
After all, often enough, you seem to manage an impassioned and impressive defense that keeps you alive for days despite everyone knowing you're a damn dirty evil woman you.
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon.
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.
While it's true I do control those big-ass eagles who are always pulling people's asses out of the fire, my function in this game is as a potion-maker.
I can brew up a potion that can give anyone the power of clairvoyance (a seering) or berserker rage (vig kill). It'll take me a round to do, though. I’ve much more experience brewing things with medicinal uses, I'll have those ready to go every round, so I can either cure status ailments or injuries every day or give any shmoe a kill or seering every other day.
Also, since I'm a wizard I'm exponentially more likely to rez.
EDIT: No, none of this is true.
I put my vote on Rainfall because depsite the fact that she's evil, everyone seems to always believe that the next game will be different, so killing her on day one is somewhat unsportsmanlike.
Thus, her chances of surviving day 1 are excellent, so I don't have to feel bad about placing a throwaway vote on her. Which I'm doing because, truthfully, I do so hate being part of a day 1 bandwagon. I don't disapprove of them, mind, and I understand their necessity.
I just feel that I would rather not be a part of one.
My thoughts exactly!
Also come on man you are trying to justify a grudge kill it is still a grudge kill.
Frostmist>> I recognize that fact, but really, I have nobody here to grudge (anymore, I already grudged the poo out of B:L way back in Gods of Phalla), and Rainfall is 75% likely to be evil, so I can't feel bad about voting for her, especially since she's almost certainly going to avoid a bandwagon anyway.
I prefer making educated choices, even if they're wrong and stupid. *L*
Straightzi>> Psh, grudge kill. *L* I haven't played actively in a Phalla for awhile, and I got all my grudges outta the way weeks ago.
Nevermind!
My wrath is a fearsome thing.
