I require a prophet to come and speak with me and relay your humble input to my magnificent audio receptors. Please indicate your preference in Lime.
Oh, and we're killing somebody today. Give me a vote in red.
If you have a win condition other than eliminating all the Corrupted it will have been made painfully clear.
Day 1, Addendum

I have detected an anomaly in the databanks. It seems we have been infested by a self replicating infection. I am preceeding in activation of our counter intrusition protocols. The first priority is to divide you into network hubs. List outputing now:

....it seems the files containing the lists has been corrupted. This infection is preceeding more rapidly than anticipated.
Very well, divide yourselves into groups!
To officially form a group one member sends me a PM with the roster of the group, the name and mission statement of your group. Woe to he/she who appears on more than one Roster! More damn Woe to people who send me a shitload of PMs with minor updates! It's likely a good idea to wait until evening unless you have a full roster and can't possibly add another member.
Original OP for Archival Purposes:
There will be stuff to do with a direct impact on the game in the thread starting tomorrow evening. This will be before the PMs are redistributed. I am aiming to redistribute the PMs and have the main portion of the game start the following evening.
Read the rules on signing up before you post! Order does not determine who takes part!
I have a dream... of a phalla where we can all play the character of our role freely and openly. Where we can have Shaq attacking Mr Rogers. Where B:L's crazy rants could actually be part of the game. Where everyone is given material to try and have fun playing their character. Hell, we're in the roleplaying forum, aren't we?
To that end I'm going to ask any who sign up to be willing to try and protray the character they're given. I know it can be "weird" but you're on the internet. Nobody is going to point and laugh. I'd also love it if people would swap to appropriate avatars but I won't require it. I do promise that roleplaying will in no way harm your chances of succeeding at the game. I've taken a few steps to prevent that kind of thing.
I'm going to be doing things differently with this game and by "things" I am chiefly referring to sign ups. We could have a mad dash for x number of spaces where all that is required of you is to post some lime text. That however is boring and not especially fair. I'd much rather the x number of players who are most willing to contribute to the game. To that end....
How to sign up:
Take your time. You have loads to think this through properly. The first PM I get won't be judged any more favorably than the last.
Write a role PM and PM it to me, Deep Thought. This role PM should contain a brief description of the character. A link to a decent amount of info on the character. A description of a special Phalla ability that this role possess. For specifics see the next post.
This will obviously not be a quick process. In fact you'll notice that robothero's game is ongoing. This game will in no way start until that game finishes. I will spend the intervening time editing the roles, their abilities and then overlaying a traditional Phalla "evil" group(s) over top of those roles.
In this thread:
Let's keep this thread on topic. This is going to mean discussion of mechanic ideas, limited discussion of ideas for character roles, questions, clarification requests, so on and such.

Very well, divide yourselves into groups!
- Groups can be no larger than 15 members.
- No person may belong to more than a single group.
- Groups will be judged based on Awesomeness and Population.
- The Best Group gets Candy.
- You may choose to be an utter loser and not join a group. Loser.
- I will host proboards for each group.
- Groups do have another function in the game.

Do you really want a setting? This whole game is a giant excuse to have any character you (or I) like transfered into Phalla-land and give people a chance to be entertaining and entertained by our little community here.
Oh fine:
Somewhere, deep in the endless bounds of time exists a computer, a computer so great I am not worthy of calculating it's operating parameters. This computer consists of Life, the Universe and Everything. All that has been, all that will be, all that could be included within the bounds of creation or imagination are within this computer.
This computer is a monument to Creation. To exist in perpetuity, a kind of immortality for our greatest Heroes and Villains, our most moving Thoughts and Dreams. A lasting bastion of what has come from consciousness preserved against all time, all trouble and all torments. Until now.....

PM Format:
Example "Good" PM:
This is an example of an all around "Good" PM. The character is distinct, memorable, and I like him. I've included a solid wiki link with loads of good info, a good image of the character that's evocative. The mechanic is new, not very powerful but very flavorful and appropriate. (It also loses something when publically understood, so it won't be appearing in this game.)

Clarifications:
We vote for prophethood by !vote name.
We do not retract as we are men, or women, of our word. We can vote for other people though.
Action Order: Actions are resolved in the order that they are received. A changed order has a new time stamp of one hour after the updated request is received for for each previous order. The first is on time, each additional is penalized an additional hour. An ability can not be made as "Too late" by this penalty.
Quick Example: If A submits a kill on B at 1:00 and B submits a kill on A at 1:01 then B dies and A drinks some iced tea.
How to properly link a post: If I require you to link a post to me in a PM follow this process: Look right of my name on this post. See that page type thing? Right click on that, copy link location and post that in. In some [noparse][url][/url][/noparse] tags would be cool.
PM Targets:
Any Orders are to be sent to Deep Thought
Any Questions are to be sent to DevoutlyApathetic
If your power requires you to PM me please state what exactly you are doing with your power to preserve my sanity.
It's the next game in line so when robothero's game ends this will step up. Honestly probably within a week from the estimates I've been given.
Neato concept!
Need to start brainstorming...
Really? I mean if it starts in a week I would definitely be able to play, if it starts in two I won't. And I really really want to play.
Awesome.
So basically, we create the groundwork, and then the roles for the game proper will be overlayed on top of them once it begins?
Yes. This is a "everybody is special" game akin to Phalla Phalla. The bad guys will have extra abilities on top of what they'd have from their roles.
Absolutely. Ghandi and Ghengis Khan have equal chances of being "bad" as do Hitler and Elmo. This is going to be more like a traditional phalla than a faction based game.
No, I expect to have to edit the mechanics. Remember the roles will be randomly distributed after the game starts so what becomes of the role you submitted won't be known to you until some later point (the end of the game most like.)
Edit: Err....I won't reject an otherwise awesome PM because I disagree with the mechanics. I'll just fix the mechanics before I distribute the roles.
Not until the end of the game. Otherwise it's too prone to "matching" abuse.
In general I would rather you wait until you've got a generally finalized version. If you have specific questions you can PM me but try and not go too far on that. While I don't have any yet I expect my PM box will be flooded soon enough.
Though do remember that PMs should be sent to Deep Thought and not this account.
Yes. Though standard masons are rather boring.
Well, obviously, I have a devious plan.
Excellent.
You may make multiple submissions. I'd prefer to only get a single PM per each single forumer per a 24 hour period. You may put multiple roles in a single PM but if I am crushed under an avalanche of PMs I can only guarantee I'll evaluate the first one, so put your best on top.
Though I'm likely being overly cautious I just don't want to totally bust the PM box over there.
DA, prepared for multiple submissions.
I have no idea what you just sent me but I think...I think it might be awesome. It does have a red x in it though.
The mechanics need a little fleshing out but I'll take an awesome PM with mechanics that need a little fleshing out anyday. The intent is clear and I think I already have a way to do something that should work well.
Weird, Oh, Oh no!
I linked the original image!
SHIT, STAY RIGHT THERE I'MA FIX THIS
I must dwell on this
shut up and be Thursday, Gumpday!
So If I send Thursday in then someone else might be Thursday
a pickle
Or we could just throw decency into the wind and try to do a "who can create the worst role" contest with this.
EDIT:Elldren, you should try something new!
Make the ability something along the lines of:
"Usable once/twice per game. You can state in yellow text that you hate your team and need a new one and you will randomly be assigned a different win condition."
It'd be like a mercenary or chameleon type role?
