[Mini-phalla] The Phall of Max Payne: Dearest of all my Friends - Vlad & Mona victory

phall.jpg

"I am Max Payne.

My wife and daughter were murdered. It had something to do with the designer drug 'V'.

I transferred from the NYPD to the DEA, went undercover to find their killers. I got too close. I was framed for murder.

With nothing to lose, I went after the mafia during the worst winter storm in a century.

A mystery man named Alfred Woden told me the name of my real enemy; Nicole Horne. Woden and Horne were both members of a secret society, the Inner Circle. She was behind 'V', behind everything.

While working for the D.A., my wife had accidentally seen papers that incriminated Horne. Woden promised to take care of the charges against me if I took Horne out.

I killed Horne.

I gave myself up to the police. I knew I had enough evidence against him to make sure that Woden would stay true to his promise.

I lied to myself that it was over. I was still alive. My loved ones were still dead.

It wasn't over."

What's this?
This is a traditional phalla for [strike]25[/strike] 28 people, based on the truly fantastic Max Payne series. Knowledge of the characters and scenario of the games will possibly be helpful, but is not necessary in the slightest.

Phalla? What's that?
The forum's version of the party game, Mafia. See here for more details. General rules apply, including no anonymous contact between players, no direct quoting of role PMs, etc.

Every day you must vote for a player who you suspect to be a member of the Inner Circle. Please !vote in red and !retract in lime. Retractions are not necessary, only your last vote will be counted.

If you set up an off-site proboard, please PM me the link to it.

Any rules questions can be asked in orange.

The game day will most likely end at 0000 GMT.

Sign up in a gritty noir colour of your choosing.

    As I looked down the page I saw a post that pierced through me.

    !You're in a Phalla, Max

    The truth was a burning green crack through my brain. Day 1 grudge votes flying through the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. Endless repetition of the act of voting off Kime, Vigs revealing after vote close to show off their kills. The paranoid feel of the mafia controlling my every post. I was in a phalla. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

    There was a time, not so long ago, when a man wronged me. I knew his name, I knew his face; burned into my memory like cheap cigarettes put out on fresh skin. Red and raw. Rage.

    He'd fall, just like the others. I had enough rounds to put him down. And maybe one left over for myself.

    Jlarpsun thought he was safe.

    Jlarpsun thought he was the hunter.

    !HE THOUGHT WRONG.


    Years ago... it feels like only yesterday, I was a guardian of the law and I had tried to save a young boy's life. How would I know that years later that boy would become a MONSTER... a SERIAL LARPER.

    It is up to me to repent for what I had done. Jlarpsun had a death wish years ago. Now, his wish is granted.

    I picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end. "Max, you are playing on a bloody proboard." It was a bad line and a crank call.

    !Nonetheless, I was ready.

    It had been coming for a long time now, this sick realisation that hovered on the outskirts of my mind like a careful stalker. I didn't want to admit it, but the evidence was all there, staring me in the face like a pair of sunny-side-up eggs on a plate full of grease.

    ...I was beginning to think that B:L had a big mancrush on Christian Slater.

    I could sense it before the phone even rang. The tone sounded like a hundred bell towers in unison inside my heading. Looking around my apartment, the painkillers on the desk stared back, begging me to crawl out of the pit. With the phone still ringing, I took the pills. They felt like daggers in my throat, exposing the pain underneath.

    I picked up the phone, only to be greeted by the harsh voice of the lieutenant.

    "Kuhl! That case file has been on your desk for hours! Are you ever coming in to follow it up?"

    "Yeah yeah. Just had to finish some things up." The gun on the coffee table almost calls my name. Almost like it was part of me. "I'll be there in a bit." The phone found its home on the reciever.

    And with that, my struggle out the pit began. I nearly couldn't remember how I got here. But I did know one thing: when the rabbit comes out of its home, it comes out for a reason. And I had my reason...

    I just had to remember... try not to make it personal. It's just a necessity. But it always ends up being personal.
