We ain't needing no rule book of what we can and can't say in a reasonable fashion
Because that's just silly
I'm also working on a full-size phalla, but it's far from done.
EDIT: Screw it. I'm going to check with the main phalla's runner and put it up if I get an OK. I'm confident in the stats of my mini, and if I crash and burn, well, them's the breaks.

That's great and all... but there's a huge list at the beginning of this thread. You might want to get yourself on that list. And you have to be patient... it'll take forever to get to your turn :P
But what the hell, I'll put my name on the main list. I don't have a setting yet, but I do have a bit of it figured out.

Read, we do this often and realize that rule came from Thanatos.
I'm just looking forward to running a game. I think I have a great idea, but someone beat me to the open slot. Someone beat me to getting it.
EDIT:
Man, I feel lame.

Not just that, but there was a lengthy debate about it at one point.
I should add that link somewhere. This topic does come up often.
My Mini's back on the design table. Originally, it would have been thirty people. Only my sense of balance is terrible. The total amount of kills each day would have ranged from four to six. Then the vote. Seven kills a night = your phalla not lasting more than three days. That would suck and make me look like an even bigger moron than I do now for thinking this thing was ready to roll, much lest balanced. I don't really want to cause a lot of drama if I don't have to.
I apologize. I'll go re-work it and hopefully come up with a better game instead of one that would get me stranded on a deserted island in the Pacific.

Half half as even day Vigs and the other other half as odd.
Each side gets a kill, in addition to the vote... I'm thinking one to three kills a night. That's reasonable. Each side and the village also get a /seer and a /guard to make it interesting... and I think that's a balanced game.

I would love to work with you on my zombie main game coming up soon.
If you want too.

So, let's say I went with a 30 person game and had two factions, each with five people with win conditions of 'eliminate the other faction and equal or outnumber the remaining villagers'. The factions get a free kill a night as a faction ability, a seer, and a guard. The village gets a vigilante, a seer, and a guard, plus the vote kill. Village win condition is to get rid of both factions.
Factions start out masoned with a proboard.
Not really going for recruiting in a 30-person game, because it'd wreck the mechanics up fierce.
So, is it balanced?

And your village feels underpowered/outnumbered; even with the two factions gunning for each other, you're looking at one third of the people in the game being enemies of your majority.

Sure!
Ehh, you're starting to get into the problem of power creep there. If you're set on a 'Mafia vs. Werewolf'-style 30-player game with 'traditional' specials, then lose the seer and guard for the minority factions. The seer is the village's best tool in a Phalla game, and giving one to the baddie factions allows them a big advantage in being able to influence the way the village acts. Meanwhile, the guard has its greatest power when it has a network to work with, and considerably less when alone. Giving one to the baddies skips the step where a guard needs to find reliable others to protect.
My gut tells me that having a four-player 'Mafia' (1 kill per night, no other abilities), four-player 'Werewolves' (1 kill per night, no other abilities), and 22-player village (w/ Seer, Guardian, Vigilante) is closer to the realm of balance. I'd actually be more inclined to reduce the 'Mafia' and 'Werewolf' factions to three players each, while also reducing the village size slightly as well. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try your hand at having asymmetrical groups or less traditional abilities.
...I might go down to 25 players, in which case I'll just drop the two factions to three players each.
Thanks, guys.

!Sign Up with the theme of [Phalla]sophy.
So many ideas.
I feel obliged to offer my services for this, seeing as it's my major. :P
So it seems I'm unlucky number 13 on the main list. Really should run a mini or two beforehand...
Don't make my mistake and go with Randian Phallosphy. I feel sorry for subjecting people to that.
edit: Deleting the post apparently also works :P
The theme is classic newspaper comics, i.e. roles like Calvin, Garfield, Charlie Brown, etc. My goal is to do the narrations as series of unedited-but-out-of-context comic panels, which could be a lot of fun.
But Dusda, look for a sign up thread. A Pokemon phalla sign up should be going up soon. Just watch for it.
Actually it's called Phallamon and I-
..wait, what the?!
Aw man! Somebody messed with my sign!
