Also, the only points scored outside of shootout were by the teams on their own goal. Wildcat, the penalty kicker for the God Emperors, Penalty Kicked into his own goal for the point. B:L, the cherry picker, used his ability on his own goal, which was the second shot on that goal that turn, and thus scored the point.
Also, about 90% of the wingman abilities targeted the goals, for the first couple rounds, which was useless. The last couple, they all targeted the goalie, which would have been good, if anyone was shooting for the goal.
So, a question: Input on the rules and such? What did you guys think? Too hard to figure out? Too easy? Anything critical?
I didn't get a whole lot of activity late game, to be honest. If any team stayed a bit more active, they might have pulled ahead, but I get the feeling people stopped paying attention after the first few nights, for some reason.

Maybe next time we can have Phalla Bowl FOOTBALL. ;-)
What did you think of the rules though? I spent quite a bit of time deciding how they would work, I wanted to make it a really interesting version, though I don't know if I succeeded so much as mudded everything up.
For once, I think everyone who contacted me actually was on the same team.
Except B:L. :P
By the way, B:L, can I ask why on earth you claimed to be the God Emperor Goal, of all things? Were you trying to cast suspicion on the real Goal?
As for your game, Rend, I'm not usually a big fan of games where none (or very few) of the teammates know each other. I don't know that it's a bad thing in the objective sense, I just personally don't like them. I think you still could have had a pretty interesting game if you'd split each team into two groups of 5 who all knew each other, and then people would have had some opportunity to talk to each other.
For the later half of the game, I was the guardian, the vigilante, and the goal. Hylianbunny was my goalkeeper, and as long as Hylian was alive, I would live too. We had a good thing going.
DA was a huge part in our team's success. B:L was as shifty as ever so no one on either team trusted him.
I have to admit, as the goalkeeper it seemed as though I had not a whole lot to do. As long as I kept my head down and tried to keep quiet, then the goal would have an easier time.

I WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, LOYAL TO THE GOD EMPEROR.
There are several reasons for claiming that, actually.
If the God Emperor's were not networked with their Goal already, I could take it's place. This was a crapshoot and I wasn't banking on this.
If they were networked with the Goal, I was hoping that they would think that I was the Infidelity Goal, meaning the vote could possibly go wrong for them. If Aegis had not been hit by the ball, the kick would've killed a GE and the vote would've taken out Aegis, giving us a huge advantage.
And finally, I wanted to see who was the God Emperor Goal. Based on your reaction to my claims, I hoped my team would figure that you were the goal.
It was a fine reveal, just a little too late in the game.
Well, vh basically responded by saying "You can't be the God Emperor Goal! I'M the Goal!"...I was kinda hoping you guys would've picked up on that. O_o
But I figured it was better me eating the vote than our Goal.
I had contact with exactly one God Emperor player the whole game (TehSpectre), I forgot to ask who his role PM had revealed as a team-mate for a while and by the time I did he had no time to respond before getting terminated. After that I was basically just guessing.
Oh ho ho, I believe it was me who scored our second goal, and 'twas me who nailed their coach. Fun game, pity that my team refused to trust me eh DA?
I actually believed you, I just had no reason to tell you who the rest of the team was. I made arrangements so they could contact you if they felt they could risk it.
Now, if somebody had voted on the day where I died because not all of my team voted, well then perhaps somebody would have been more involved in the team's decision making process.
Stonecutter means Mason or Family. The term stems from one of the original games this is based on, and I prefer to use Family.
Basically, if you are a Stonecutter / Mason / Family, you start the game knowing the identity of one or more other players, and they know your identity.
Also, the term "stonecutter", while meaning "mason" also may have it's origins with The Simpsons.
...they are both references to the Freemasons. If you choose to descend into madness you could google it. They are something like the Elks or Rotary clubs in reality. IIRC they played a large part in providing a forum for the American Revolution to gain traction as well as some of the early ideas of the political theory.
As a Fraternal organization they would supposedly trust each other. They are also rumored to be behind like the entire world history or other such trash. That is what the Simpson's was referring to.
[EDIT] Also, the Cherry picker and the Penalty Kicker were stonecutter.
Errr, really? O_o
I linked one to the other in role PMs.
...No you didn't. O_o
So were the missed kick kills RNGed?
Sorry, it was the Foul player and the penalty kicker, not the cherry picker, my mistake.
Also, the missed kick kills? Basically all the striker kicks were vigs regardless of their target. The non-striker vigs were the ones whose targets were restricted to things like "Only effective on goal" or "Not effective on goal." Aside from role assignment, there was zero RNG in this game.

That's good.
Haha, I mean, what kind of idiot would put an RNG mechanic in their phalla game?

Ah, had me confused for a moment. :P
And...no RNG?
So you mean...the Infidelity kicked the ball AT Aegis?
Well, yeah, the Illuminati and all that. I just named them "the masons"; didn't realize the word "free" needed to be appended.
I really couldn't understand how you could be missing that but when I reread your post it really sounded like you thought they were from the Simpsons or something.
Don't mind me, I just woke up and am going back to bed. I'm likely less than coherent.

So how many players sent in their PMs? O_o
As for the rules...give me some time to develop my thoughts. :P
Spectre....thanks for taking my suggestion about CJ and running with it. That was quite grand all in all.
(Seriously though it was out of my hands
Yea, nobody lied to me either. Weird.
Yea, I wasn't around for that but when I woke up: "It figures." With that and the drama the next day I wasn't certain what was up with you.
Except B:L. :P

All in all, a very interesting game. Thanks Rend!

Thai game?!
Interestingly, I was the one who hit Qorzm.
Oh, and sorry for bombing a penalty past you, cj.

Yeah this phalla game was good but I didn't really know what the hell was going on.
Basically, if you are a Stonecutter / Mason / Family, you start the game knowing the identity of one or more other players, and they know your identity.
Masons are technically stonecutters.
I linked one to the other in role PMs.
Also, Mr. D, I believe it was the other team's striker who did that to you.

I'M SO EMBARRASSED!
For what it's worth, I actually liked the green random guardian vote.
Maybe if it didn't protect from the vote it would have been less "lol!" and such.
See, one of these days... one of these days I'll get it right.
I really do suck at Phalla.
Whens the next one?
And...no RNG?
So you mean...the Infidelity kicked the ball AT Aegis?
The guy they were planning for to eat the vote?
...
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
Don't mind me, I just woke up and am going back to bed. I'm likely less than coherent.
