[miniphalla] Slap Shot - Game Over - Mafia and True Neutral win

I assume the majority of you know what you’re getting yourselves into. If not, then welcome. This is a Miniphalla, which is a lot like a Phalla, only smaller and hopefully shorter in duration. For more information, please refer to the CF Phalla Signup List, the CF Master Phalla Thread, the PhallaWiki, or the PhalLounge.

This game is based upon the masterpiece of modern cinema, Slap Shot. Prior knowledge of the subject matter is not necessary to play this game, but it will provide a greater opportunity for role-playing and may confer a greater appreciation for role/character breakdowns to those who love and appreciate this cinematic masterpiece. However, if you are a fan of hockey, Paul Newman, or sports comedies in general, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie.

If you are unfamiliar with the movie, here's a taste:

Rules


This is a 32 person game. I understand that is larger than your average mini, but I believe it will move quickly enough to wrap up in 4 to 6 days (much like any minor league hockey game, I expect this to be a bloodbath).

I have tried to balance and organize this game to the best of my ability, but as this is my first attempt at hosting I probably screwed up something, or multiple somethings. With that in mind, I hope you have fun, but in the event this does turn into a one-sided clusterfuck, I will happily accept your angry bitching and moaning, err, I mean constructive criticism, at the end of the game.

All standard Phalla rules apply; no screen caps, no anonymous contact, no dead people talking to the living, no quoting/sharing of PMs from me, etc.

All proboard links should be sent to me to avoid unauthorized shenanigans.


Mechanics


As a warning, this is not a plain vanilla mini. It is not nearly as complicated as Gumpy’s recent Rolling Green Hills “mini” – but there will be some of the more interesting mechanics I have run across in my time lurking, playing and reading about phalla.


Inactivity


If you fail to vote once, you will get a warning PM. If you fail to vote twice, I will take other measures.


Reveals


PUBLIC reveals will not be tolerated. Whether fake or real, epic or not-so-much, PUBLICLY revealing in any way shape or form will carry bad and potentially hilarious and nigh-instantaneous consequences.


Clarifications


Please request clarifications in bold orange, either in the thread or via PM or proboard as appropriate. If I feel the clarification is super important I reserve the right to remove the requester’s name and post the request and answer in-thread.

Clarifications Made:

1. You can reveal via PM.
2. Vigs can call their kills in-thread.
3. Feel free to quote the movie at will, post however you like (within reason...), just do not pretend to be any of the characters in the movie as the majority of them are present.
4. Order of actions: Vote -> Actions -> Kills. Further clarification denied.
5.



Voting


Vote will close at 9PM Eastern time, and I will attempt to post the next day’s narration shortly thereafter.

Vote in bold red every day to have a player removed from the War Memorial in some way shape or form. (And by “player” I mean “Julius Caezure,” not “Jim Carr.”)

    wait does that mean you can't tell someone that you aren't evil because that would count as a reveal?

    also, what about reveals via PM?

    also, is spectrum ever going to play a game? how can i harass you otherwise?

    That post after your res what you call 'harassment'? I've seen better effort from 12 year olds.

    Anyway, something's coming soon, so I'm not deliberately not playing to force myself to finish.

    what about calling kills to prove that you are the vig?

    How can you roleplay in a game where you aren't allowed to reveal your role?

    From my admittedly limited experience with phalla, most people are not exactly the most ardent role-players...That said, I will allow you to roleplay however you like, provided only that you do not actually use the name of a movie character. Use whatever quotes you like, say whatever you like, ridicule the Quebecois...doesn't matter to me, just do not actually reveal your role. Or do. And see what happens.

    Still too unclear?
