    That. Phalla is just the PA-y name for it.

    There are some advantages to having this as a physically separate (though socially closely tied) forum. If it were hosted here, Tube would ultimately be responsible for it, regardless of how hard we worked to stay out of his hair, and he's got enough on his plate keeping this place in check as it is. Generally, what we wanted to do with the place would have to be balanced against what he, Khoo, and Alphamonkey are willing to put up with on the main site. How quickly do you think at least one of them would (justifiably) lose patience with having waves of new sub-forums coming and going through the directory as games start and finish?

    With this structure we almost have the best of both worlds. It's not an official forum, so if it gets spammed to hell or becomes a new nesting ground for trolls none of the admins or mods here have to worry about it. But at the same time, it maintains close ties to the existing forums and doesn't tread on the toes of what's already established, so that should minimise any "splinter forum" mentality. At the risk of sounding like I'm waving my dick around, I will crack down very harshly on anyone who looks down their nose at the official forums, and I'd expect any mods I appoint to do the same.

    At first I was all like 'another splinter forum?', but after thinking about it, I could see the argument that there is a gap in market that a niche non-OF could cover. All it should really need is the necessary demand to justify it. Which, given the proclivities of these boards, probably means Phallas, for the most part.

    I'll be interested to see where this goes.

    re: the idea itself. I don't think we need another place to phalla just because some folks don't want to play the CF phallas, but i do like the idea of a life-support forum.

    What is wrong with playing them in CF

    I don't know!

    There's nothing wrong with playing them in CF, but as was mentioned before the line to get a phalla going is rather long and it goes one at a time. Augmentos seems like a good thing for those who have a good idea for a phalla or any other game but don't want to have to wait a number of months before they can actually play it.

    There's a line 50 billion long to do a Phalla over in CF, not to mention the baggage and grudges that exist after so many games.

    While I agree on the line being long, most grudges are usually forgotten within a game or two.

    Unless you did something monumentally retarded.

    I would hope so. I've only participated in a couple of the ones in CF, but the one that sticks out in my mind was the LotR phalla where people were grudge voting all over the place on the first and second day. I think a couple of people quit because they were so sick of it.

    gonne grudge vote the fuck out of you

    Man what. I wasn't no spider. Was there a spider? Did I say I was a spider? I don't remember. All I know is that ZombieKyle will never trust me in a phalla ever again because of that game. I had him so convinced I was a good guy that he kept defending me against half the good heroes all the while I was doing my damndest to get him killed.

    If you hadn't been turned into Gandalf, good side would have been toast.

    And if I hadn't randomly decided near the end to go "Man I wonder what will happen if I use the ring," I would maybe have survived to the end.

    It is a portmanteau, augment meaning to improve by adding to, and mentos being the freshmaker.

    It's not just for phallas, though it could be used for that. There's also stuff like the UNIFIED game Pony tried to get off the ground a while back, and the quiz game Ramius ran here a while ago.
    I remember when I found them using that quiz board to attempt to play Unified lol

    Yes, it seems to be. Which strikes me as a strange choice: They've gone to the trouble of making an extra forum, why not make the most of the extra space?

    Confession: I skimmed Augmentos three or four times today while the forums were down, and signed up, and then didn't post anything because I suck.

    Instead I ate a hamburger and got some exercise and then got drunk, which I guess is an accomplishment in its own way.

    I skimmed, posted exactly once and then put furniture together until that got annoying

    today I am not exactly shocked to find my arms covered in strange bruises from moving boxes of crap around
