Chuck Vs. the [Miniphalla] (CIA and NSA Victory, Minor Fulcrum Victory)

Chuck.jpg

Hi! My name is Charles Bartowski. But you can call me Chuck. Here's a few things you may need to know, or maybe you just forgot.

Spies.jpgCarChases.jpgComputerStealingNinjas.jpgSavingtheDay.jpg

This is my life. It's filled with spies, car chases, computer stealing ninjas and me saving the day.

Email.jpg

You see, everything changed when I got an email from my old college buddy, Bryce Larkin. Bryce had been working for the CIA when he stole a whole bunch of government secrets from a computer called the Intersect. Next thing I know, these super-secrets are downloaded into my brain.

Sarah.jpgCasey.jpg

The CIA sent their top agent, Sarah. to protect me. Oh yeah, I know. Believe me. The NSA sent their top agent to protect me too. That's Casey. He's not as pretty.

Tommy.jpg

The two of them are here to protect me from an organization called Fulcrum. They're after the Intersect, keeping me in a constant state of fear, danger and anxiety.

BuyMore.jpg

So now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More. Instead of fighting computer viruses, I have to fight assassins and international terrorists.

Yeah.

Chuck Vs. the Miniphalla is a miniphalla designed for 25-30 players which may or may not have any mechanics to be used in the upcoming main phalla. This game will be focused around the spy portion of Chuck's life; there will be very little to do with the Buy More. It will be relatively traditional for a Phalla.

Knowledge of Chuck is useful for this game, but absolutely not required.

Please be sure to sign up in an appropriately bright, bold colour.

    Too many Phallas right now, but the theme is too awesome.

    Also, watch the finale and buy a $5 footlong tomorrow!

    There are a bunch of what is Phalla posts lying around, refer to one of them. The main rule is this:

    be super paranoid.

    You flail around uselessly as the stronger, established personalities lead the village around by the nose. They don't actually know what they're doing, so trust your instincts. At some point, the village will get lucky and nail a badguy with an RNG and then some actual work at analyzing past actions made by that person.

    At which point the village has about a 50-75% chance of still flailing around mindlessly. But that's better than before :P!

    Well, 50% accuracy of not flailing around mindlessly. They'll still probably be wrong, but at least some thought went into it!

    hmmm...... I don't think I have any grudges :(. I've been winning too much lately :P. Whom shall I vote for day one then!?

    It doesn't. It blatantly sets up the third season, according to everything the producers have said for months.

    It's an excellent question. I suspect he volunteers to join CIA in some capacity, either as the Intersect or something else. There's some supposed large change that not just everyone involved with the show says happens, but a couple critics who have seen the episode already agreed so it's not just smoke. Said critics also claim it is actually better than last week's, which was the best in the show's history, so I'm excited.

    wow.. each episode in this season has just been consistantly better than the previous one. if that keeps up, i dont know if i can handle any more of the awesome.
    speaking of awesome, do you think it has to do with devon being 'in the know'?
