Yeah it's pretty hard to play a game to it's full when you roll as a mafia which even from the start looks doomed to fail even if things initially went our way.
Also sorry Toxic Toys for getting you killed by staying in a pact with Darian even though I'd be fine without one
Woo! I finally survived one! My apolgies to daniant, as she asked me to seer cheez last night and I chose to seer V_W instead...though I sent the order ten minutes after vote close so it didn't matter anyway. Anywho, good game! Thanks for hosting, Green!

I didn't add the farangus It's certainly possible anyone can make games of higher farangu value. The Sparrowing is headed towards 10 farangus by our latest count, but it's only a 4 on the Montauk scale. That's what we're balancing still.
Phallology had a bigger problem for being a main (a mini relies less on structure because every single [random] happening has more effect) and a faction game at that as well (with no interfaction war). So yeah I agree with Roman phallology is worth more farangus as well as village powers including resurrection.
Wanted to make sure its echoed enough- Green you're a really good host. Both this and the Animorphs game I felt the same way, so well done on that level. I'm sure you'll get the balance down next time

This game was run very well, and had some really cool and interesting mechanics, especially the missions.
Seems that the Reapers had a bit of a bum deal, though. Some balance issues, but still, enjoyable to play in!
Even though I was the most vanilla of the vanillas, and had no powers at all. I did get a couple of missions completed, though!
As one of the Wall Reapers, I'm a little curious how Green expected the missions to turn out for the village. I only bring it up because that's a hard thing to calculate; if you've got at least one smart player with a good internet connection, the ability to reduce the time limit to 25% only works if the mission is either really difficult or if their internet connection has issues.
Some network craziness and kime being kime (claimed to be composer to Egos) led to me panicking and asking Spoit for confirmation that kime was a contact for him, Spoit told me that kime was also a seer.
Hehe, yeah, I had some fun pretending to be the composer. Then Spoit goes and kills someone when I told people I was seering and I'm not here to change my lie . Because I know everyone believed me till then :P.
Seeing an unbalanced game that I'd win as long as I survived to the end, sold out kime to romanqwerty in an agreement to keep me from being mafia killed, oblivious to the fact that reaper kills were RNGed and all reaper kills would be gone after he died :twisted:. Learn from conversations with RQ that he was almost certainly not masoned with Infidel, but can't reveal that as it's rather incriminating towards me :whistle:

Thanks!
I really had fun hosting this game, although if I hadn't discovered just how useful spreadsheets are I'm pretty sure I'd be dead right now.
I don't know the next time I'll put together a main game, but right now Egos and I are brainstorming on an Event Horizon mini

That was an interesting game. I had fun and there would be no hard feeling if I didn't die the night the game ended. I'll kill you all.
Naw, I'm just messing with you.
OR AM I!?!
Yeah, I'm just messing with you.

In a game full of specials, I was a vanilla villager again (was also in Phallology). Eh, just the way the dice roll I guess. I wanted to try and help with the missions but I knew nothing about the actual video game.
Being a simple village not in any network for these games.... Very boring without a doubt. But in the boredom, I have been coming up with some sweet spreadsheet ideas. :P I didn't put them to use for this game though. I think I would have lost my mind if I would have tried tracking all the voting in this game.
Well, I think I am finally starting to get a better grasp on playing the phallas as opposed to the actual in person games.

What made it worse was adding an extra vote on the second day. Four votes, really?
What was the effect from that, anyway? All the non-reapers of that brand, half, or just a specific number of kills?
Woo! I finally survived one! My apolgies to daniant, as she asked me to seer cheez last night and I chose to seer V_W instead...though I sent the order ten minutes after vote close so it didn't matter anyway. Anywho, good game! Thanks for hosting, Green!
V_W was gonna seer cheez (although I may have had him changed it Timmer , after hearing from daniant that she would get someone one cheez...) anyway so... not a biggie
I was a selfless player. I was guarding Egos each night but still didn't trust him 100%.
I appreciate it, Timmer. Sadly you were gonna get seered tonight, so you would have finally had people to talk to hehe.
Hah... would have been fun. This is only my third phalla and I'm not very good at not trusting people (or trusting!) which I think makes these games hard for me. You and kime seemed like you were making good arguments but I still thought if you two were mafia, a good tactic would be acting nice for a few days while slowly getting a couple villagers and maybe sacrificing a mafia or two to build up good will -- then you'd basically have everyone believing you're good and slam the hammer down.
But I didn't really much to go on not having any network. Since no one was speaking up against you guys I thought I'd still go ahead and defend you after the second day. I liked my "vote for kime but guard Ego" thing. My little attempt at *some* deception.
As far as the selfless player thing went, I didn't mind it -- in fact, it made choosing to guard that much more interesting. I never thought of it as a "if I use it, I lose" but rather a "I'm a villager and if I can use it at the right moment, I'll sacrifice myself to allow the village to win!" -- never thought of it as a "but then I lose" condition. In fact, I kept hoping someone would try to get Egos and me make the save - would have been fun
P.S. my one bright spot was honestly suspecting Sticks -- and I was right!

Oh that's a lot of identity sharing in a game that hinted of faulty scanning in the OP O_o
I didn't establish proboards/ask to be invited to proboards because I figured keeping who's in contact with who to a minimum would be the best way to fight that sort of thing.

So, the only person I really screwed over(that it seems I shouldn't have) was Infidel, so I apologize to him, and I will accept the grudge willingly.

Guess I got Mafia problems
I have my own page on the PhallaWiki! Truly I am blessed.
Although, like I said, I didn't help Green with design at all on this one, so according to those rankings, he's more me than I am, apparently.
Also, Phallology was more unbalanced than Transmet to you? Huh.

Woops, the general category was locked down to members only. Someone try it now and let me know.

Yay.
Next time, I think I'll be more cautious.
Godmode: It didn't matter, in the long run. But it's nice to know that I was right at least once in this game.
Edit:
CaptainPlanet. Be thankful for that normal village role. I would have liked to have not been thinking this game.

daniant, you almost helped CJ win. There is a difference.
Same with Infidel and Spoit
V_W was gonna seer cheez (although I may have had him changed it Timmer , after hearing from daniant that she would get someone one cheez...) anyway so... not a biggie
And I would have done it too, if it weren't for the mafia getting themselves killed on the last day
Hah... would have been fun. This is only my third phalla and I'm not very good at not trusting people (or trusting!) which I think makes these games hard for me.

I thought Infidel was not Mafia at first, so I tried to network with him, which lead to me inadvertently compromising the village network.
Guess that still worked out, because I went nuts trying to fix the damage. :P
Also, I was told I was Neutral, so why am I listed as red?
Man, there was some serious miscommunication in regards to me and Infidel and our win conditions and the results of my seerings.
It gets into spoiler-dom...unfortunately by playing this game you've really spoiled yourself
The only good part is that with me being vague you might jump to the wrong conclusion.
I didn't establish proboards/ask to be invited to proboards because I figured keeping who's in contact with who to a minimum would be the best way to fight that sort of thing.
Woo, go network. I'm glad you didn't play as neutral, cj, or I would have been screwed.
