The New Management
The Pinnacle Guild now controls Arcadia.
Most of the populace have accepted the new regime. The ever-fickle powers of Alpha Sector turn a blind eye to the coup, unsure of the exact circumstances that lead to the shadowy Guild seizing control of the remote outworld.
But the shattered, outlawed Arcadian Order refuses to relinquish power. They've become the very thing that they once despised; terrorists, bombing Guild buildings and assassinating their officials. In a strange twist of fate they're now the allies of the Disciples, the remnants of the same chaotic cults they warred with for years.
And the rumour mill is working overtime. In fact it's pretty much burning down.
There's always something worse out there. That's just how it goes in Arcadia.
Damage Types
Normal: Physical damage. If the damage type is not specified it is this mundane, uncouth variety of damage.
Psionic: Damage that affects the mind. Psychological trauma and otherwise. Certain roles may be resistant or vulnerable to psi damage.
Special: Rare, extra-potent flavour of damage. Unless otherwise stated, defensive abilities- such as Guard- that increase a player's resilience have no effect on Special damage.
Sample Role Abilities
Aid: Restore the target's Life by the given amount after all attacks are resolved.
Cure: Strip away a single persistent negative effect from the target.
Guard: Reduce the total attack power sent towards the target.
Heal: Restore the target's Life by the given amount.
Intercept: Take the target's place for the purposes of all beneficial abilities sent their way.
Investigate: Normal seering method with a given chance of success.
Mindscan: Psionic seering method with a given chance of success.
Obstruct: Take the target's place for the purposes of all hostile abilities and attacks sent their way.
Nullify: ????
Martyrdom: ????
Chaosweb: ????
Oblivion: ????
Life Mechanics
The previous system has been simplied. Percentage attack powers are no longer an element, replaced instead with a straight HP mechanic. A player who hits 0
Life (or who is vote killed) is dead.
Players can have anything from 25-100
Life; the former end of the scale for support roles, the latter for tough attackers. Particularly special roles might have even more, but this potential fragility means the dangers of friendly fire must be kept in mind.
Orders
If you have a Proboard, send the Edcrab account a link. Groups should feel free to use a proboard thread to orchestrate and list their nightly actions, because I can appreciate how complicated it can get to organise. However, if an individual sends The Supercomputer an order PM, that PM will take priority over anything listed in the thread.
A Reminder
This is Phallakinetic, which means that while there
are factions there's still a mafia and their power should not be underestimated, and that some seers are imperfect. If a faction leaves the game because they have won, they're considered to be eliminated for the purposes of victory conditions that require their demise (i.e., everybody wins).
There are conversions in this phalla, but they can only be used on members of the Experiment sub-faction. Something to keep in mind.
Village Victory Condition
Eliminate the forces of the
Arcadian Order and the
Exigent Organisation.
Protect
Alpha Team and
Beta Team. If they are lost, the game is over.

Any chance first day will close on Monday?
also flog him
Just finished reading the last one, seems completely epic.
I will SPLITYOURTHOUGHTSOPEN
!sign up
So this is sunday noon right (GMT, it now being 17:25 GMT at time of writing), or do you mean 24:00?
I don't see how you playing this one would be any different from you playing, say, Elementalist!
This goes for everyone who helped me brainstorm. Yes, I accept it's a bit meta, but ultimately none of you will have a great advantage in deciphering the mechanics.
My initial thought was noon, but if midnight would be more convenient for people I'd change to that quite happily

especially the latter part is important
Oh yes
Ed, your first Phallakinetic mini remains among my favorite games ever. Becoming a giant death robot?
thousand times yes

and I vote for Day Close @ 12 Midnight in the US, (my 2 cents).

The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
I haven't been around for previous phallakinetic games but I heard they were a blast. Could someone give me a recap?
I shall play my role.
After playing in Munkus's Phalla I've got the bug.
.. hopefully I'll do better!!
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
A recap: Houn was a leader of the devilish pinnacle guild. Ace village detectives smoked him out.
I just remembered I'm going on a quick little three-day vacation on Monday.
Uh nevermind guess I can't play. Sorry.
Steam: Chagrin LoL: Bonhomie
Probably not but that hasn't stopped me before.
and even though Facetious isn't playing...
!Facetious
I can't remember your summoner name but apparently you play LoL.
And dropped our game a second after you joined us.
"That's Slim."
"Slim with a Y?"
"Yeah."
"Okay I know that one. Jerk."
:x
