Okay, i'm almost done with roles for my mini, it has a lot of ideas that i'm testing and for all I know it will be imbalanced as all hell. Should I put that as a disclaimer so I don't upset anyone who signs up?
Man I'm almost done with my weirdo mini too, that's not gonna be pretty.
I plan on puttin' in disclaimers on what could possibly happen in my mini.

If there's a non-zero chance things go pearshaped and you can't control for that beforehand because it's an experimental mechanic or whathaveyou, a disclaimer might be warranted, yeah.
I mean, of course you REALLY try to iron that shit out beforehand with maths and game theory. Or even just, to quote someone else's oft-used phrase, "back of the envelope" calculations.

I try to iron out mine, and it ended up a cluster-fuck. A great cluster-fuck but nevertheless. I say run it as is. If we hate it, we grudge vote you forever more. We love it, we vig you every game play from there on. :P

No. Don't do this. This is not good design practice. =/

I disagree. Occasionally complete chaos in a phalla is fun. I mean why do you think people still play in Burnage's games?

For the opportunity to be the next Vlad or next launcher of HOMING MISSILES, duh.

This sounds like something a ROBOT might say.
But in all seriousness, at least ATTEMPT to balance a game before running it. If it's blatantly not balanced, don't run it. Some games are seriously not balanced, and it ends up with utter confusion and despondency in the mid-game, then someone figures out how to break it and it becomes fun for them and them only in the end game.

I am completely serious when I say that my next mini is going to feature the most overpowered mechanic ever.
Send me a PM to sign up in advance for Redemption!
Team GBE (Great Britain's Elite or Gumpy Burnage Edcrab, depending on who you talk to)
The problem is that the combined batshit insane backstory with mechanics only a mother could love would lead to unthinkable atrocities and then Thanatos would have no choice but to nuke the place from orbit
Although in all seriousness a collab phalla would actually be pretty swell.

I'd like to point out this was totally my idea. And demand a reserve slot.

Well I'm pretty sure they are first come first serve anyway.
Barkley Gaiden signups will go on tonight, assuming I don't get anything back from Toxic.
That was my understanding as well, but I'm trying to play nicely with others.
I asked toxic too, just to be sure.
There won't be too many overlaps between out phallas, but if you want I can put a disclaimer for newbies that you got a newbie specific one coming tomorrow.
Toxic Toys, I'll add you to the sign-up list once your game is done.
In more pressing news, I think we need someone to stand up to run the next game before the end of the current main. I feel like I might need to send out mass PMs, and maybe that will do the trick...
Google Docs ate my PMs. Other than that, I'm good to go! I could put a sign up thread up on Saturday, unless someone beats me to the pull... I'll PM Bandwagon and say I'm ready depending on how much I get done on Friday.

Because I think despite Quoth's best efforts, Phallakinetic will still be... interesting. Speaking of which, I'll be readying up shortly. Honest.
Especially fun because Burnage's last game was almost entirely classic mafia disguised as complete chaos.
I'd be willing to reserve up for the newbie mini, as I've only played 3 games, though I feel comfortable playing with experienced players.
Burnage Edcrab and Gumpy cohost a phalla. This would either be the coolest thing ever. And 29 of 30 players would rage after.
It was probably Julius Caezure
Team Brit, assemble
I would be down with that

HEAVY METAL
Take a one way ticket to midnight...
I have an idea.
Hmm after watching the youtube clip i get the feeling that brutal legend might of been based off Heavy metal.
In more pressing news, I think we need someone to stand up to run the next game before the end of the current main. I feel like I might need to send out mass PMs, and maybe that will do the trick...
And I think Bliss said something to that effect as well in the last thread.
Civilization is the theme
Up sometime next week?
Possibly
Phallakinetic was awesome and I don't want to miss it by some freak accident.
I may pay a homeless person to stand by the phone and hit f5.
