[PHALLA] SMTensei: Digital Devil Phalla [Karma Temple victory!]

You have been called to the Karma Temple and look about you to see faces, some friendly, most not; you were called here, a rare interruption in the Junkyard, and you do not yet know why.

Suddenly, the large spire in the center of the room springs to life.


“Citizens of the Junkyard, welcome to the Karma Temple. You have each been infused with Atma. You now each have strengths and weaknesses as befit your Atma, but your goals are unchanged from what they always were: destroy your enemies, devour the other clans, and reign supreme over the Junkyard.

“Note, Citizens, that upon activation of your Atma, an anomaly was detected in Karma Temple routine $A_N which may cause destabilization and have dire effects on both the Karma Temple and the outlying Junkyard. Please return here each night and input your query results; we will investigate the most popular query request and will provide data regarding that target the following day.”

You recall a strange light that appeared only hours earlier, and you now feel a stirring deep within you, as if the Karma Terminal’s words have triggered something inside you. It only takes moments, but your eyes flash with a new hunger and your primal desire for supremacy has overridden all other impulses.





Welcome to the Junkyard.

Each day begins and ends in the Karma Temple but the bulk of each day is spent in the Junkyard, fighting.

Everyone has been PMed information about their roles and abilities.

Rules, short version:
  • Don’t share role PM information in the thread or privately.
  • No images.
  • No abstentions; individuals with a private attack must use it every night. All participants must vote every night.
  • You are not allowed to vote for yourself.
  • You must have at least two on-topic content-filled posts per game day.
  • All voting and actions must be in by 9PM per night.
  • Vote using the following syntax: query: Drez and retract using the syntax: retract: Drez.
  • All actions occur simultaneously.
  • Victory is achieved if your clan exists and no other clans do.
  • Narration/Results for each day will indicate attack attempts and failures and will reveal the clan affiliation of any dead participants. No other data will be revealed.
  • Please PM me if you would like clarification on a rule or mechanics or anything. I will clarify the info for the thread if necessary.
  • You may make one goodbye post if you die, but no more than that.
  • Dead players may not converse with active participants on any game-related matters.
  • IF YOU ARE NOT A GAME PARTICIPANT, DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD!

Other information and rules
  • Narration/Results for each day will indicate attack attempts and failures and will reveal the clan affiliation of any dead participants. No other data will be revealed.
  • Agi = fire attack, Bufu = ice attack, Zio = lightning attack. All of these have equivalent effects in terms of this phalla.

    P.S. I know this intro narration is kind of lame-o, but I'm exhausted tonight. I promise to have more interesting ones in the future.

    Have fun everyone, and if anything is unclear, please PM me. If it's something I can clarify I will clarify it, otherwise I will tell you that I cannot clarify it. It's best to PM me for clarifications, though, instead of asking publicly.

    Clarification: Voting provides data, not death.

    Voting will indicate whether or not the queried individual constitutes an anomaly and may or may not reveal other data.

    Oh, voting just reveals something about them, but doesn't cause death?

    No harm no foul then for !query wiggin then.

    Well, from what I'm understanding of it, it reveals a weakness, which essentially could lead to their being killed next round. I think.

    I think it also reveals whether that person is an Anomaly in the system.

    True. But I don't really know what that is probably from not knowing the source material and all.

    Clarification: All actions occur after voting closes and all results will be reported on in the narration.

    Also, the source material is just for flavor, the mechanics were written to suit my needs for this phalla.

    In case of a tie, the Karma Temple will select a query target at random between the tied query targets.

    This would be fine if Quetzi wasn't one of the three most active posters in the thread with 4 posts.

    Something fishy about that vote.

    And with that, I'm going to bed.

    Hmm. This is a sort of weird mechanic for a phalla; it's the equivalent of us all being the evil minority in a regular phalla; it's not like we can pretend to be innocent parts of the larger group. We know we have to kill each other.

    I guess the only pretense we have to go on for the public vote is finding and eliminating whatever this "anomaly" is; I assume it's a Sylar/Lanfear-esque lone wolf.
