Ty MJ for going down perfectly
Ty wilgy for being willing to go along with a game winning plan that sacrificed you for my benefit. I know that can't have been the most fun but it did win the game.
Ty Mac for suggesting me as a sub!! I probably would not have played on the site if not for that.
And ty Lissa for being a queen of organization and planning, and always making sure the numbers actually worked on our dumb schemes
I hope you had a good time, cayvie. You are a fun individual.
I did! The setup did feel a little wolf sided, simply because we could openly plan hope transfers and sol buys as a team, you know? But I certainly didn't mind that.

Civilians banishing both protections immediately didn't help them. I was actually afraid the game was too much in favor of the civilians. There were two doctors, an alignment checker, a blocker, a watcher, a tracker, a redirector, a bodyguard, a messenger imp...and more. I simply think the mafia outplayed the civilians over time here.

I am sorry that sullied things.

I won't comment on that- it was handled behind the scenes.

Wtf dude

I don't think I'd be upset at the chap. He was on a honeymoon for a stretch and he did try to spend his sol on a protection bracelet (but it was after the deadline).

To be clear, I'm a bit bitter because I spent a lot of time on this and never got to watch my game play out. At 54 pages I had to quit reading because by then there were more pages I had not read than had. Granted that was because I had signed up for two games (I told Jack I'd sign up for his months ago, and DDL's game I felt bad for because it had been in sign up hell for so long). As a result, I never got to watch this unfold, and that is why I'm unhappy. That has nothing to do with anybody here of course. I'm only a bit mad at myself.

That's why I said you had to mention me to end the Day early. I didn't learn about moth saying "I'll do what you all want" until I sat down a few hours ago and saw it in the spectator room. That's why I explicitly said people had to mention me.

moth did.

Why were we playing it out then??
I was working in the yard all day today and had to go out to get things. I didn't sit down until about 4pm EST I think and then I couldn't get on The Syndicate OR Discord.

It wasn't my intention, but that's how it went. I didn't mean to drag things out. I was just outside a very long time.
I meant why did we play that day at all

moth never mentioned me.

OH, for this.

There was a slim chance if someone had bought Jodariel's block and blocked cayvie.

I kept waiting for someone to buy the damn Jodariel power and block cayvie. That never happened.

Thanks Wilgy!

Thanks for hosting @Epignosis, super fun setup!

You had the rottenest luck!

I want to point this out: I count 127 unspent civilian Sol. That's going to be difficult to win in this situation. Also, lynching both doctors back to back was rough.

He really really thought dunya was Wilgy's teammate.

motobot is my third (and youngest child) and he still feels bad about banishing dunya (he is a very sensitive boy).

Tariq and Celeste were my kids (Simon and Queen Pink, respectively), and each Day they could choose a CHARACTER (not a player) to anoint and divvy up 1.0 worth of stats however they wished to their anointed. The winner would be the one who had more remaining than the other. Simple, but a way to introduce extra stats into the game that doesn't involve me (the Host).

dvc / wolfchat?

I'll let JJJ and the mafia team handle that, as I don't do those things.

Thanks to mafia team for the carry.

Lissa had the mafia chat organized in such a way that I have never witnessed. It was a fucking accounting office in there. There were tables and charts and books and I don't know what all. Lissa is a true threat.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 9:36 pm What you had a sub game with your kids?

That's flipping adorable.

Correct. They didn't even know they were up against one another until the very end.

And it is done!

Enough of this, Exiles.

I have seen enough.

The Scribes have seen enough.

You have not done enough.

The path to Liberation belongs to the following:

Spoiler: show

The rest of you shall spend the remainder of your days in the Downside serving your rightful sentence!

Congratulations goes to the Mafia Team: Lissa, cayvie, MacDougall, Marcher Jovian, and DrWilgy.

And there's more:

Tariq, the Lone Minstrel has proven to shine brighter over Celeste.

Congratulations goes to Simon.

Spoiler: show

If there is a unanimous decision to end the Day early, I will honor this collective desire at my earliest convenience. Mention me in the thread stating your preference.

My wrath endures like the Scribesgate you continue to abuse, Exiles.

It is the dawn of the eighth day and yet what can you say you have accomplished?

The path of Liberation has been overgrown with weeds and thorns!

And I also...

...what is this? Whoa ho ho, Exiles!

Spoiler: show

Now do something worth speaking of!

It is now Day 8. You have 48 hours to banish someone.

The thread has been locked for one hour in preparation of the commencement of Day 8.

Night 7 has been extended one hour because it is that other duties called. PMs are due by 8pm EST!

My patience wears thin, Exiles.

I have little to say about what I have witnessed.

For that reason I shall be brief and provide you with this announcement:

The poor soul known only as motobot has received the brunt of your aggression this day.

And it is done.

Spoiler: show

Until the stars align...

It is now Night 7. You have until 7pm EST tomorrow to submit any Night action(s) you may have. Be mindful of the Glory attribute before sending a PM.

Spoiler: show

The thread has been locked for five minutes in preparation of the commencement of Night 7.

I am impatient, Exiles.

For too long have you insulted the Scribes and the Rites.

Watching you dawdle and flounder is so torturous that I should wonder if I myself were among you in the Downside.

The one who calls herself Carotenoid has had the worst luck, and now her luck as surely run out.

And so it is done.

Spoiler: show

End this!

It is now Day 7. You have 48 hours to banish someone.

The thread has been locked for fifteen minutes in preparation of the commencement of Day 7.

It’s time again, Exiles.

I see you are all still quite divided in your perspectives.

What a shame.

Surely the Scribes will punish you for your lack of direction.

Yet the sad fortune of their displeasure shall fall upon dunya this day.

And it is done.

Tariq, the Lone Minstrel has chosen…

Celeste, the Gate Guardian has chosen…

It is now Night 6. You have until 7pm EST tomorrow to submit any Night action(s) you may have. Be mindful of the Glory attribute before sending a PM.

Once more I must endure your foolishness, Exiles.

The Scribes cannot be pleased with your unwillingness to be diligent and thorough.

Only righteousness shall prevail.

The one named outed wolf is to be banished, is he?

And so it is done.

Spoiler: show

Come on!

It is now Day 6. You have 48 hours to banish someone.

The thread has been locked for one hour in preparation of the commencement of Day 6.

I grow angry, Exiles.

The degree of disrespect among you with regard to the Scribes is unparalleled.

You have selected DrWilgy to accept an unfortunate fate.

I wish you had considered otherwise.

And it is done.

The thread has been locked for one hour in preparation of the commencement of Night 5.

Spoiler: show

I grow tired, Exiles.

I expected more from you, but I see I have overestimated your wisdom.

Clearly you need more inspiration, so I will say this:

Do better.

Unfortunately, it is Sloonei who will not be doing much of anything else after tonight.

And so it is done.

Spoiler: show

Now do something worthwhile.

It is now Day 5. You have 48 hours to banish someone.

The thread has been locked for at least one hour due to the commemoration of my own exile to the Downside seventeen years ago
(otherwise known to some as "holy matrimony").

We shall be marking this occasion with my very own Steak Oscar and fingerling potatoes.

Any advice or well-wishes or sympathy should be directed here.

An eagle-eyed Exile has pointed out an unfortunate and incorrect wording in the first post regarding Sol distribution. Nothing has changed except that the rule has been revised (see the italics) for clarity:

Sol: The currency of the Downside. You may use Sol to purchase talismans from Falcon Ron’s Slugmarket. Talismans cannot be sold or transferred. At the end of each Day and Night phase, you will receive Sol equal to the number of remaining members of your triumvirate.

Continue.

Spoiler: show

Once again we come together, Exiles.

So much deliberation and cogitation in honor of the Scribes must be commended and-

And…what is this?

Whoa ho ho! You’ve banished someone on his birthday, have you? Why, that’s a Syndicate tradition!

And it is done.

It is now Night 4. You have until 7pm EST tomorrow to submit any Night action(s) you may have. Be mindful of the Glory attribute before sending a PM.

The thread has been locked for 30 minutes in preparation of the commencement of Night 4.

Long Con is back on the menu. Everyone must vote again if a vote was cast.

Well met, Exiles.

Some of you think you are on the path of liberation.

And some of you know better than to drink from that well of delusion.

This time it is KZA who has been thrust into nothingness.

And so it is done.

Spoiler: show

Carry on.

It is now Day 4. You have 48 hours to banish someone.

The thread has been locked for one hour in preparation of the commencement of Day 4.

So we meet again, Exiles.

Again you carry on with accusing and talking and accusing and talking.

Have you accomplished anything?

Perhaps you have. You have chosen to banish Marcher Jovian.

That’s too bad. I rather liked the name.

And so it is done.
