Ah, no wonder you guys knew to hit El Skid We lost him in our group only a few minutes after he joined it. He must've slipped up and put your name in because he was thinking about you.
I almost did that once when I was sending an order PM. I was going to hit Dac Vin with my incapacitate, and I put him in the recipient instead of Goose.... but I fixed it before I sent it.
Did you guys not build a ProBoard or something? Doing it all in PM can get confusing. =(
Speaking of which, does anyone else have ProBoards to open up? I want to look!
We made a proboard after that. It never was really used though, because we didn't have too much to say yet. And by the time we would have had more to say, we were all dead
Yeah, you guys needed at least 2 kills per day with a 3rd kill every other day, or maybe 3 kills every day or something (and guaranteed, so that it didn't depend on how many mafia people were left etc...). That, I still think, would've made it really nerve-wracking and down-to-the-wire. But it was a good experiment... if someone were to run a game with this set up again (every villager masoned into splinter mason groups), we know now that doing something like that might make it more competitive. Or maybe adding a larger neutral group to throw off the good guys (by making a larger pool of potential unknowns as targets).
Would it be against the spirit of Phalla if someone was running a game and then gave one side more powers if they were being completely beaten down? Just curious.
Balancing needs to be done before the game starts, not after.
Balancing too much during the game really ruins a game imo. You're basically saying "fuck your efforts the past week, they all mean shit now!" to your players.
Ahh... a good point, I hadn't thought of it that way.
What would've really mixed it up, maybe, is if there was some kind of posting restriction where no one was allowed to talk about the fact that they were masoned.... hmm, I'm not sure.
Or maybe if there were infiltrators to start with in a couple of the mason groups... though that's a particularly mean one to do I think.
EDIT: Ah, I see your post where you told them to send it to us Altair. It must've gotten lost in the confusion. Turned out we didn't need their votes though (or rather, they inadvertently joined us in it), which was good.
Aye, you guys had a very slim chance of victory. I think I could only have seen you guys winning if you were to infiltrate the unified network (and thus knew where all the champions were), and then somehow duped them into thinking that you weren't intentionally killing the three champions off (like someone was making you use your ability to do it).

I'm sure if I would have told you off the bat who I was I could probably had made it in without giving up about toxic and what he can do, but then you'd have to trust me and believe that I posted the way I did because I was indeed the coach.
Aye Def (Can I call you Def? ), in that situation I probably wouldn't have let you in, but I definitely would've believed you to be the coach I think (given how I was feeling at the time). I'm not sure if it would've helped much, but it would've given you a little chance at least. Day 1, hit Glass Joe "Whoops, someone targeted me with a wild attack!" Day 2, hit accurately to throw them off. Day 3, hit whoever replaced El Skid for the title, and if we weren't wise to you by then, you maybe could've convinced us to vote for you as champion on day 4 when the title vacated.
Maybe. But everything would've had to have gone off perfectly and no one would've had to suspect you. That was a hard spot. =(
Also... (from the Wildcat forum)
Wait... if JPants, WeatheredClown, TheLawinator, and Wildcat were together...
... who was Romantic Undead with? Was he with anyone?
That was TOTALLY not as I expected it to be.
Man, a TON of stuff was going on that I wasn't expecting. I never thought in a million years that WeatheredClown was a seer. Yikes. =( Yeah, I can see how our gang-up on him would've been suspicious from where you were sitting. I figured he was either yanking our chain or just a minor character in another mason group... worth sacrificing to test the theory and unite the groups. Ouch. =( Sorry about that. Very unexpected. =(

El SkidThe frozen white northRegistered Userregular
Hmm. As much fun as kicking Monkeyfeet would be, FWD is striking me as a fairly good target. FWD is much more helpful, typically.
On the other hand, I'd hate to kill him and find out he was good. I like FWD.
Thoughts?
I got that PM from Sheep Have Wool. I think it was meant for only El Skid but for some reason he put my name in the recipients too.
Yeah, I wasn't impressed with Sheep around that little slipup.
It was meant for me and Kime (our mason group), but he oopsed. Apparently we should have created a proboard earlier
On the bright side, there's no way I could have survived past day 2- My accent pegged me as a jamaican dude, a jamaican dude was in the OP as the major circuit champ, and I could only guard myself every second day... So yeah.
On the bright side, I didn't have to post like that for more than two days, so that worked out well :P
Oh, we apparently had a couple of seers, but they died before they were of too much use (Except Rainfall, or whoever Rainfall knew that was a seer).
The big advantage was the mass masoning. Our network pretty much doubled the bad guys in size by like day 3 after Kime and Krata's big reveals helped bring them together.
Also I want everyone to know that Sportzboy and I had only one null between us for the entire game
and we didn't even use it

Jpants has an auto block, as I stated before, and I regretted that.
And Toxic you had a one time only block. And you used it. I didn't communicate to blockers whether or not their block worked or anything like that I don't think.
It wasn't my idea, I just seconded it and sent in the order.
Good god, everyone was masoned? We had even less of a chance to win than I thought, and I thought our chances were zero so that's saying something.
Since everyone had a character assigned from a limited set, and since alignment could be immediately determined by name, all the village had to do was get everyone's name, or the name of everyone who was willing to provide it anyway, and kill all the bad guys and nonresponders. This is in fact what I believed had happened; it's a special kind of insult on top of injury to learn that the village had additional advantages that rendered this unnecessary.
About my being a thrall and not taking advantage of it, I had no real way to do so since I couldn't lie about my name without getting caught, and using my true name would lead to my discovery since Narcis Prince was on the special circuit.
And I didn't even lose a single hair from my luxurious coiffure!

You are Little Mac.
You are The Challenger.
You are allied with Doc ( ).
Your win condition is win all three championships.

Your traits/powers: Experienced: You know a lot about the sport of boxing. When someone targets Mac with an ability, you have a 50/50 chance of seeing who it is. Words of Encouragement: You're a great coach and believe in positive reinforcement. Every time you post, you have to work in a one liner praising or advising the previous poster.

Your win condition is to defeat the mafia. Your minor win condition which is to be the first one eliminated from the game. (any elimination on day 1 will do)
You're an old, old, old veteran of the WVBA. But that doesn't make you any good. In fact, you've only won one fight. Everyone expects you to be the first one to be forced into retirement. And its about time.
Your traits/powers: Taunt: You can goad a fighter into attacking you. Once per round, send in a target to taunt, and that fighter will target you with whatever it was planning that round.

You are Von Kaiser.

Your allies are (Glass Joe), (Kid Quick), and (Piston Honda).
Your win condition is to defeat the mafia.

Your traits/powers: Guard: Your blocking strategy is quite impressive. You can block yourself, or someone else, from one attack (not including the vote). If more than one attacker targets you/your target in guard, both of you go down.

You are part of the Minor Circuit.
Your allies are (Glass Joe), (Von Kaiser), and (Piston Honda).
Your win condition is to defeat the mafia.
You grew up getting into a lot of fights on the streets of Brooklyn. Rather than let yourself get caught with the wrong crowd, you took to boxing. You're not the most celebrated boxer, in fact, you're pretty vanilla.

You are Piston Hurricane.
You are part of the Minor Circuit.
Your allies are (Gabby Jay) and (Bear Hugger).
Your win condition is to defeat the mafia.
Hailing from Havana, you consider yourself to be the finest import from Cuba since cigars. You have some fancy footwork, but most regard you as somewhat of a blow hard.
Your traits/powers: Hurricane Feet: You have the footwork most easily compared to Muhammad Ali, and you use that to your advantage. If you activate this power, you dodge all punches for that round, but can take no action the following round. Cocky: You're a braggart by nature.

You are the Minor Circuit Champion!
Your training and discipline have paid off, you've finally done it! You're the champion!
Power Boost: Focus: Powers that would normally disable you don't have any effect.
You are the Major Circuit Champion!
Your training and discipline have paid off, you've finally done it! You're the champion!
Power Boost: Importance: Your opinion is more valuable than the other peons. Your vote counts twice.
You are the World Circuit Champion!
Your training and discipline have paid off, you've finally done it! You're the champion!
Power Boost: Rematch: When a power (not the vote) would normally knock you out of the game, you are given a second chance at glory. After you're pronounced defeated in the narration, send in an immediate order to challenge who you think won the belt. If you are correct, you come back in the game and knock them out instead.

Would it be against the spirit of Phalla if someone was running a game and then gave one side more powers if they were being completely beaten down? Just curious.
Balancing too much during the game really ruins a game imo. You're basically saying "fuck your efforts the past week, they all mean shit now!" to your players.
What would've really mixed it up, maybe, is if there was some kind of posting restriction where no one was allowed to talk about the fact that they were masoned.... hmm, I'm not sure.
Or maybe if there were infiltrators to start with in a couple of the mason groups... though that's a particularly mean one to do I think.
EDIT: Ah, I see your post where you told them to send it to us Altair. It must've gotten lost in the confusion. Turned out we didn't need their votes though (or rather, they inadvertently joined us in it), which was good.

For me and Toxic to win we had to beat the champions.
I was only a support character and had a 50/50 of detecting who used powers on Toxic, if anyone decided to target him.
I also had the posting restriction of posting one liners (I tried it was hard) praising or advising the previous poster.
Steam
o_OD: And I thought we mafioso had it hard. You effectively needed a good bit of ESP to win that one.
I'm sure if I would have told you off the bat who I was I could probably had made it in without giving up about toxic and what he can do, but then you'd have to trust me and believe that I posted the way I did because I was indeed the coach.
Steam
Maybe. But everything would've had to have gone off perfectly and no one would've had to suspect you. That was a hard spot. =(
Also... (from the Wildcat forum)
Wait... if JPants, WeatheredClown, TheLawinator, and Wildcat were together...
... who was Romantic Undead with? Was he with anyone?
That was TOTALLY not as I expected it to be.
Man, a TON of stuff was going on that I wasn't expecting. I never thought in a million years that WeatheredClown was a seer. Yikes. =( Yeah, I can see how our gang-up on him would've been suspicious from where you were sitting. I figured he was either yanking our chain or just a minor character in another mason group... worth sacrificing to test the theory and unite the groups. Ouch. =( Sorry about that. Very unexpected. =(
Yeah, I wasn't impressed with Sheep around that little slipup.
It was meant for me and Kime (our mason group), but he oopsed. Apparently we should have created a proboard earlier
On the bright side, there's no way I could have survived past day 2- My accent pegged me as a jamaican dude, a jamaican dude was in the OP as the major circuit champ, and I could only guard myself every second day... So yeah.
On the bright side, I didn't have to post like that for more than two days, so that worked out well :P
...
Okay, that is hard to keep up, I see what you mean.
And don't worry Sheep, it's just one of those things that happens sometimes! All is good.
RU or Rainfall, if you're out there...
* Romantic Undead
* Rainfall
* ...?
Who was your third person? Or were you even with Rainfall at all?
He knew my role remember.
EDIT: That's right, now I remember. I had totally forgotten about it. =(
I had given him an autoblock and forgotten. He reminded me and I felt stupid for ever giving anyone that in the first place.
And I think if I ran the same game without any masons, it would've been plenty more balanced.
I'll be running my main phalla much differently, because of the theme.
It was fun while it lasted, but Lord T'underin' did the village either have a hell of a lot of seers or masons.
The big advantage was the mass masoning. Our network pretty much doubled the bad guys in size by like day 3 after Kime and Krata's big reveals helped bring them together.
and we didn't even use it
And Toxic you had a one time only block. And you used it. I didn't communicate to blockers whether or not their block worked or anything like that I don't think.
We did, and it was FunkyWaltDogg's idea if you want to grudge over it.
i put TT in a list of 3 people and funky chose you.
Good god, everyone was masoned? We had even less of a chance to win than I thought, and I thought our chances were zero so that's saying something.
Since everyone had a character assigned from a limited set, and since alignment could be immediately determined by name, all the village had to do was get everyone's name, or the name of everyone who was willing to provide it anyway, and kill all the bad guys and nonresponders. This is in fact what I believed had happened; it's a special kind of insult on top of injury to learn that the village had additional advantages that rendered this unnecessary.
About my being a thrall and not taking advantage of it, I had no real way to do so since I couldn't lie about my name without getting caught, and using my true name would lead to my discovery since Narcis Prince was on the special circuit.
I actually hadn't thought of that! That's a smart strategy, I should've tried it... in truth, I didn't try to do that. But in the end, that would've been a good strategy.
Even without it we had the advantage though.
