what's the etiquette for signing up for a phalla without having all the details worked out?
To host? It's ok, if you sign up now you've probably got about a year and a half to work things out.
Although I'd say signing up, trying to wing it, and consequently having it blow up in your face would be kind of annoying because there is such a waiting period.

That list is damned gigantic. Do I get a deal if I sign up in bulk? Like, if I took spots 57-60?
57. EvilBadman - Cheesy Phalla (all players are different variety of cheese, will Provolone prevail over the dastardly Muenster?)
58. EvilBadman - Breaking the 4th Phalla (Badman celebrates his 4th phalla by killing people for real, in their home. Day 1 will never be the same!)
58. EvilBadman - The Phallacaust (Who's the Nazi Informer? Who's the secret British Agent? Where's Anne?!)
59. EvilBadman - My Little Phalla (Each night, the Ponies vote for who gets to run through the Enchanted Meadow of Hugs and Sugar!)
60. EvilBadman - The Phallistrocrats (A disturbing glipse into our own psyche. Will you fuck your mother's vacant eyesocket or felch your sister?)
And here's something I've been thinking about for a while. I might run it in the Writer's Block if the mods over there approve, but I'll bring it up here first.
A micro-phalla of maybe 10 players, using pretty basic mafia rules and no specials, so it would last 5 days, but I might make each game day last (up to) 48 hours. The theme would be something that fosters creative writing, no idea about that yet. The focus would be on narration and roleplaying, kind of collaborative storytelling. You'd be required to vote each day, and your vote post would be written in the form of narration that fits in what the GM and the other players have written so far (it doesn't have to be a perfect fit, we'd edit the whole thing in the end). You could be pretty much as creative as you like, no need to role-play a specific character every time you post, and players would be encouraged to post bits of flavor text whenever they like.
Retractions would not be allowed. As soon as the monsters have sent in their actions (in the form of a piece of narration in PM) and everyone has voted, the day would immediately end, so the end of the day deadline would only be applied if somebody fails to post. In the end we'd try to edit everything and see if we can turn the phalla into a coherent story with a unified style. So it'd be a cross between a writing exercsise and a phalla. I wonder if anyone would be interested in doing something like this?
omg, i heart you so hard-core. So f'ing hard core. I would so totally be there for that, so long as I didn't miss signups... I would worship you for that.. that just sounds so damned cool.
You just ask the person currently running the main game. There is no mini list, but it's generally considered polite to state interest in here about it, and make sure somebody hasn't expressed desire to run a mini already.
Man, 30 is nowhere close to main phalla size! Not these days!
25 is a good cap though. The important thing about minis is to start it when there's ~that many people dead in the main phalla, and schedule it to end ~the same time as the main.
This hardly ever works out, but it's how I would plan it out whenever I try to test out my Phalla in mini form.

[in joke]Is that like the Night Watch phalla we just had?[/in joke]
Seriously though there is some good stuff in the Discworld for phalla making.
That is, if I am not horribly killed in the mean time.
you need to headbutt 37 people and a small yappy dog before you may be buggy
I can get the dog and 15 people, can you provide the rest?

You have a maximum of 25 players and the game ends in about 4 to 5 days, usually.
Also, they can be run during a normal game, but only after you get permission from the GM of said game.
and yet, they still cause significant paranoia and anxiety.
at least, mine did.

However, I think there can be only 1 main game and 1 mini running at a time.
But your specifics were wrong. There can be 1 main game and 2 mini-phallas running at any given time.
I don't know
Is 30 people too much for a mini?
It might be pushing it
Hurm
I would agree. 30 is pushing awfully close to main phalla size.
25 is a good cap though. The important thing about minis is to start it when there's ~that many people dead in the main phalla, and schedule it to end ~the same time as the main.

ppfffftttt
Hey, when's your Mortal Kombat phalla start? Cause I so wanna play....

Now that neville is back, Spectre is no longer at the head of the line. So it'll be his game, possibly Qorzm's, then Mortal Kombat.
