Hello hello hello! The name’s Izaya. Who am I? Who cares about that?! You see, something big is going to happen to this city, Ikebukuro. Something
exciting. There have been attacks by the Slasher, there are rumors that the Yellow Scarves are acting up again! And some people may get hurt! Oh dear, what will these little people do? How will they act in the face of adversity? This is going to be
very fun to watch. All the pieces I have laid on the board will play themselves out…
Game Overview
This is a Phalla game, Penny Arcade Forum's version of the party game Mafia. It is based on the anime, Durarara!! Fans of the anime will have a
slight advantage obviously, but not much (hey, there's always Google!). For those who want to watch this series, SPOILER ALERT! You have been warned...
The mafia is split into two factions. They are:
THE YELLOW SCARVES
A color gang, their members wear a distinctive piece of yellow clothing. They are ruthless and brutal, even more so under the leadership of Horada. They pick on the weak, and seek to rule Ikebukuro.
SAIKA’S ARMY
Who knows? It seems that their only desire is to cut up their victims.
The villagers are the residents of Ikebukuro, some of them members of the
DOLLARS, an organization formed over the web. The
DOLLARS is disorganized and has no structure or sole leader, nor does it have a clear goal. Its members mostly consist of good people willing to do odd good deeds.
Voting
Do NOT edit your vote posts. Ever.
Select someone you want to kick out of the city with your vote in
Bold RedVote close is 5:30PM PST. Orders
All orders must be submitted before vote close.
Players are expected to make one vote and one non-vote post every day. Failure to do so will result in being replaced or kicked out of the game. Harsh, but necessary!
Signing Up
Sign up with the phrase "!sign up" or similar phrase in
bold limegreen.
Generic Role PMs
There are none! Each player will receive a unique role PM. Mafia will pose as nice citizens of Ikebukuro and will be given cover roles, so beware!
Special Rules
In Ikebukuro, the strangest characters gather. Expect bizarre abilities and the possibility of thralls. Masons are trustworthy. There are neutrals with their own mysterious agendas.
Other Rules
Standard Phalla rules apply: no sharing of host-provided PMs via screenshots or direct quotation. However, information may be shared indirectly, such as through rephrasing. You may not add new players to preexisting private conversations after the first message - start a new conversation instead. No anonymous contact is allowed. All messages must be traceable to a player in the game. Once you are eliminated, you may not make any more game conversation with players remaining in the game.
If any players create proboards for private communication or interesting conversations including more than two players, please send links for them to the host and add him as an admin.
Please include the host on all game PM's.
Clarifications
Will there be conversions?
Clarification denied. :twisted:
Thralls? Millers? Combination powers? Vote manipulation? Order of operations?
All these are in the realm of possibility.
Vote > Guarding > Mafia Attack/Vigs
How spoiler-y will the spoilers be?
There are quite some spoilers, such as the identity of the founder of the Dollars being revealed and other secrets. It's entirely up to you whether or not you feel comfortable knowing such spoilers before you watch DRRR!! A mafia faction wins by outnumbering the other faction AND the village. Thought that was important to mention... Role names do have some relevance. If you are unfamiliar with the anime you can always turn to Google or Durarara Wiki. Perhaps you'll find some useful information there.
My phalla has some degree of chance involved. Some powers only have certain percent chance of working
When I mentioned that some villagers are part of the Dollars, that is purely fluff and does not imply any hidden mechanics.
If there is a vote tie between players, I will randomly determine who (among the tied) shall die.

Thanks be to
@TheRoadVirus as I shamelessly borrowed many parts of his OP and also to
@kime for looking over the mechanics for balance.

Is there even a main right now or any one signed up to run one?
This could just be a small main if no one is gonna run one.

What do you call an almost mini but not-quite main phalla?

it's technically a main, by the rules of Phalla
but the smallest i've ever seen a main is 40, so...
REVOLUTIONARY TINY MAIN GAME?!
Take your time to redesign, you know we will wait.
Will there be conversions?
Ha ha, who am I kidding of course there will be.

I don't know, I think it's balanced as it is... dropping a couple of players might upset the balance. Is it ok to call this a main then @Bandwagon?

All these are in the realm of possibility.
As for the order of operations... despite all the zany abilities, it is still a fairly standard mafia game. Vigs and mafia attacks can be guarded, busdrivers can redirect actions, etc.
