    I say the first day we all vote for the person underneath us in the sign up list. This plan is foolproof.

    Okay, so the last time I did Phalla was still when it was getting started on this board. How different is this going to be?

    Nowadays we play sans pants.

    Perhaps I count backwards and use the 'one, two, skip a few' method of counting.

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    Probably quite a few "extras" you're not used to, we'll find out for sure when the game actually starts.

    Oh, and it's probably good to go on the assumption that there is some "extra" or "twist" to the rules that we, as players, are not made aware of at the beginning of the game. I'm sure once the OP goes up, there will be plenty of speculation as to what the behind the scenes mechanics are, you should be able to get a better idea then.

    I'll be getting my dentata ready

    Alright, we're full up. I have a job interview today, so the game thread won't go up until tonight. Given that I'm away on Wednesday night, the first day will probably end on Thursday.

    I kinda like the idea of an extended day 1, actually... plenty of time for people to make mistakes and decrease the random factor.

    Man, I hope I get a special role in this. In every single Phalla I have ever been in I am just a regular villager but I end up being the mouthpiece or head of a network.

    So Medopine, apparently I didn't know where my abs were because after I did your Pilates exercise weird parts of my stomach were in excruciating pain.

    Man, I haven't read Snow Crash either. But it's kind of hard to spoil. Everyone knows that Darth Vader is Luke's father.

    It's not like the plot is the main draw of the book, though it is entertaining.

    See? B:L tried this earlier but you, sir, have done a much better job at it. Sadly I just don't have it in my heart to mock Snow Crash in the same way as "random russian series I've never read".
