25% village specials?
10% mafia with no cover roles?

I'm trying not to be petty, but neither of those statistics are correct and I had that game vetted by a more experienced host (Infidel) before I ran it. It's unfortunate that B:L didn't like it, but it's no reason for people to abandon a game I'm running years later.
We must use our brains to find the scientists and escape this laboratory.
Delicious, nutritious brains.
On a more serious note, if the game is stated from the outset to be experimental, has strange rules or possibly unbalanced I don't mind much.
He's a shy overambitious dog-catcher on the wrong side of the law. She's an orphaned psychic mercenary with the power to bend men's minds. They fight crime!

I was Ender and every time I'd seer someone, it turned out they were one of the guys I was looking for AND they got killed that night by random gunfire.
All. Game. Long.
Oh, and despite being Ender I had the worst aim which led me to wrong conclusions.
I have an idea for a interesting mechanic. A larger amount of vigilantes in a game, but a guard or two that, if you try to kill the person they are guarding, the guard kills you.
Not today.

Everybody targets duna on day 1. duna is guarded by the mafia.
Perfect mafia victory.
I kid, I kid. It sounds like a pretty interesting idea.

Even if games are grossly unfair, I don't usually care because role's are random, it's fun to uncover and discover the rules of the system, and I wont get butthurt over it. I don't do a lot of phallas, but when I do, discovery is the fun--it isn't sport for me, it doesn't need to be fair. It might be though, if I played more.
Balance actually is overrated IMO. Asymmetrical sides are fun in a game that is for fun. I mean come on. We have literally been playing phalla continuously, with few breaks, for what, five years now? More?
We should stop treating it like a board game and start treating it like a party game!

For example, my MechWarrior Phalla was horrendously imbalanced (whoops) but people still enjoyed it!

I mean, I grudge you for taking advantage of me in an early phalla. Stupid trusting nature! >.<

I am too awesome. People are jealous. It's only natural, when confronted with my amazingness.

Just curious, has B L ever run a phalla? My memory is fading as I drink get older.

I've run multiple main games since that House phalla and they all went fine.

This is a proven fact.

I'm back! Graduated and all!
Only have time until sunday late though, but who lasts longer than 4 days in a mini anyways! Or 1 night in an experimental one.
Seriously I had THE shittiest luck all damn game that time.

I remember enjoying that Phalla. Was I weird?
Anyways, we have faith in you, Jason Todd!

Interesting. I like this. I kill you last...
