An inFAMOUS themed mini-phalla

Welcome to Empire City... It's a Power Trip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJSNJDn4Puc

For those unfamiliar, inFAMOUS is an action platformer released for the Playstation 3. Developed by Sucker Punch, the talented folks behind the Sly Cooper series. Released May 2009 to critical acclaim, it follows the story of Cole McGrath, a humble bike messenger caught in a catastrophe, who awakens to find the city in tatters and a budding control of electricity. He'll have to zap his way through everyone in his path as he takes back the city from the gangs that have overrun it. Will Cole deliver the people from danger, or become an even worse tyrant than the enemies he's facing?


This is a MiniPhalla, the pint-sized Penny Arcade version of the party game Mafia. My name is Houn, and I'll be your host for this game. Want to know more about Phalla? Check the CF Phalla Signup List!

This is my first Phalla, so be gentle. Comments and Criticism are appreciated, but hold it until after the game. I'm interested in hearing your opinions about what you liked and disliked. Thanks!


Standard Phalla rules apply:

- No screen caps
- No anonymous contact
- The dead may not talk to the living
- No quoting/sharing of PMs from from the host
- PM the URLs of all proboards to the Host

Send all PMs to my normal account, Houn.

Vote close is at 7pm PDT (10pm EDT). Narration will follow as soon as possible.

Empire City is falling apart, and the people are calling for blood. As per standard rules, every day, you must vote for one person in bold red to be eliminated from the game. Retractions are unnecessary unless you are specifically abstaining for the time being. Votes in posts that have been edited will not be counted.

While source knowledge may prove helpful, it is not necessary in order to participate in this game. Of course, since I love this game, I encourage you to find out as much as you can about it; you never know what might be relevant to this game!

Inactivity:
Standard rules again. Two posts per day, vote each day. Missing either these requirements for two days, you will be replaced.


Villager PM:
You are...

A Citizen of Lovely Empire City!
rim_villager.jpg

Let's face it, you love this city. There's that great bagel place down on 2nd... or, well, there was, but now it's an emergancy clinic. You've got a condo with a great view, though... of the military blockade. Well, at least the people are still friendly... assuming they haven't caught the plague, or joined a gang, or suddenly spouted electric powers and started zooming through the city on the power lines while zapping your friends and family into charred husks.

Yep, this sure is a great place to live!

Powers:
- As a citizen of Empire City, you have the greatest power of all... Democracy! Each day, you may vote for your favorite shady neighbor, and the winner will get an all-expenses paid vacation at the local Prison, complete with Police Escort! So, exercise your right to Vote, and show those miscreants that nothing is more powerful than the Constitutional Rights granted to every citizen of the United States of America!

Win Condition:
- Eliminate all threats to your fair city!


Clarifications:
- Preemptive: What's the Order of Actions?
- Vote > Actions(?)

    Oh, in order to prevent this turning into an inFamous vs. Prototype flamewar, the following pre-game rules are in effect:

    - Prototype may be mentioned 3 times only (1 used)
    - I sold Prototype, I kept inFamous. As the host, that means inFamous wins. :D

    No, that's a Horror game. And it's Hulk Ultimate Destruction 2.0 reskinned. There's more mindless destruction fun, but it's less polished.

    inFAMOUS has the better narrative.

    So, I (or rather, my brother, whatever) just got a PS3 and InFamous a week or so ago. Then the PS3 broke a few days later. Grrrrrrrr.

    Well, it was used. Or "refurbished". Or something. I didn't pay attention to the details when he bought it, which apparently was a mistake.....

    Oh well, getting replaced, just takes time :(.
